REcENT FROST DID NOT DO Ex-
TENslvE DAMAGE TO MATuR-
ING CROP.
DAMAGED CORN TO BE
FED AS RouGAAGE
Eiahty. Six Per Cent Of Crop Now Safe
from Low Temperatures - Dry
Weather Favors Maturing Process
Potatoes and Sugar 6eets Not Ma
terially Damaged.

Des Moines, Sept, 26.-F'ive per cent
of the Iowa corn crop was seriously
damaged by frost during the past week,
according TO bulletin issued by
Charles d. Reed of the weather bureau.
Eighty-six per cent OF the crop is now
safe.
The damaged corn will he absorbed
by feeding on farms. so that the COM
mercial crop is practically intact.
The bulletin says:
"Abnormally low temperatures with
an average daily deficiency of about
eleven degrees. were accompanied by
killing frost in the northwest counties
on the 10Th, and turnout the state on
the 18th 20th and 2lst except a dis
lance of two or three counties west of
the Mississippi river, where the frosts
were light The lowest temperature
reported was % degrees on the goth at
Washta. Cherokee county. Ice formed
in a number of places.
Dry weather favored the maturing of
corn which proceeded rapidly so that
Sc per cent is now safe from frost. OF
the remaining IA per cent, less than
half or about per cent OF the total
crop was seriously damaged by frost
and this will be readily absorbed by
feeding on the farms, so that the COM
mercial crop of corn is practically I'M
influenced by frost. With normally
warm and dry weather during the next
two weeks the damage as compared
with last year would be negligible.
Potatoes and sugar beets were not
iappreciably damaged by the frost.
Sweet corn was damaged slightly but
not enough to stop the canneries. To-
matoes, sweet potatoes and minor
garden crops were generally killed.
The dry weather has seriously re-
tarded the seeding and termination OF
winter wheat in the central and west
ern portions of the state. Where mois-
ture is sufficient, wheat is up and
growing nicely"
