IOWA CROP SERVICE
REVIEW OF THE WEEK BY pIREc-
TOR OF WEATHER BUREAU.
For the Week ENDING April n. 1917

For the Week Ending April II, 1917.
The week was unseasonably cold
and dry. the temperature being below
the freezing point on several morn
ings, and the rainfall was almost nil
until the 10th, when light to moderate
showers occurred; but the weather
was favorable for field work which has
progressed rapidly. Seeding of spring
wheat, oats and barley is finished in
the southern counties, and from 60 to
20 per cent finished in the northern
sections. Later reports show that not
only fall wheat, clover and alfalfa
were badly winter-killed but also
much timothy and blue grass, espe-
cially in central and southern districts.
Winter wheat and clover is worse than
indicated last week, the condition of
wheat is now placed as low as 80 to
40 per cent. Many meadows are be-
ing plowed up and prepared for corn,
the acreage of which will be greatly
increased over last year. The acre
age of potatoes, oats and spring wheat
will also be increased, but the acreage
of hay will be reduced. Stock is in
good condition and the indications are
favorable for nearly normal pig crop.

Highest Prices Seen.

Chicago. April 1S.-An impression
exists among many in the trade that
the highest prices for AL grains have
been seen for the present. The
urgency OF the shorts has been re
lieved by the big advance of late,
and with the changed conditions in
wheat created by removal Of the
Canadian duty the trade may require
several days to readjust to the new
conditions.
With the Ice duty off Canadian
wheat Winnipeg May, after a break
of 41Gc, advanced 10lac, and closed
only &c lower than Monday This
was to be expected, as the dropping
of thc duty put that much ON to the
price of wheat. Bears regard the
admission of Canadian wheat free as
likely to have Z depressing effect and
act more as an eyener on values on
both sides 'of the international line,
all depending upon the size of the
crops. Canadian -four will come in
competition with ours, and may affect
prices.
Wheat bears regard September
wheat as the best short sale They
say it viii have to carry the hedges
from our winter and spring wheat as
vel as the Canadian. which will take
lot OF buying 10 Offset.
Conservative people in tina grain
trade say it is not wise to get too
bearfsh ON the breaks The world S
surplus has been used. which will
take several years Of big yields to re-
place Foreign governments have
over 5,G90, 600 bu. July and Septem-
Der and possibly some May and July
corn, as those vino have been at the
seabCard Of late say. This has been
enc OF the reasons for the big ad-
vance of late, the surplus being of
the market, and shorts have had to
cover

Packers Make Effort.

Chicago, April 1S.-PackerI are
making desperate effort to stop the
upward progress OF the hog market,
realizing that at these lofty figures
their volume of trade is diminished
perceptibly. They claim the demand
for fresh pork has fallen off % per
cent in the past three months and
prospects ahead arc by no means en-
couraing unless they can buy hogs
lower Their success will depend
mainly on the supply of hogs, which
all shippers report short.
