The Iowa weather crop bulletin
for the week ending June 5. has just
been issued as follows: Another
cool. cloudy and wet week has furth-
er retarded field work. The average
daily deficiency of temperature was
about I degrees, and the rainfall was
frequent and in many localities exces-
siye, especially over the southern
counties. Some damage was done by
erosion on hillside plowed ground and
flooding lowlands, yet as whole the
prospects are encouraging. All small
grain. grass, potatoes and garden
stuff are in fine condition. Corn Is
showing an excellent stand and but
little replanting is necessary, and,
while the weeds are getting a start,
a few days Of warm sunshine would
enable the farmers to clean the
fields. Warm sunshine would also
stop the working of cutworms and
wireworrns which are now unusual
ily active on sod ground. Following
is a summary Of reports, showing
average condition of crops on June
1st: Corn, 95 per cent; oats, 10l;

and long continued wrongs which the
imperial German government has per-
