WAS DELAYED
Heavy Rainfall at End OF Hot
Weather in State Caused
Some Trouble to
Farmers,

The Iowa weather crop bulletin for
the week ending July 80 has just
been issued as follows:
| Hot weather prevailed with maxi
mum temperatures above 80 degrees
nearly every day. The highest re-
ported was los degrees at Clarinda
| on the 18th. Temperatures averaged
about S degrees above normal. Rain
| fall was heavy to excessive IN the
northern districts and very deficient
| in the central south centrTl and
southwest districts. High winds and
hail occurred in some northern coun-
ties.
| The rains delayed harvesting in the
north and together with the high
wind caused oats to lodge so that
many fields can be cut only one way.
( Considerable of the late oats and
spring wheat remains to be cut in the
northeastern district, where in places
l. the fields are too wet for the binders.
! The Weld of spring wheat in Black
hawk county has been reduced so per-
cent by rust. Threshing is progress
ing in all but the northeast district
Yields are generally good.
| Corn has made good progress ex-
cant in the southwest one-fourth of
! the state, where extreme neat ana
serious drouth have caused IL 10 IRE
on thin uplands. In other sections
corn is caring well and promises an
unusually large crop. Strong WINDS
blew the corn down badly in the
northern districts, but it is generally
strengthening up. In general the crop
is two to three weeks ahead OF las.
year. Early sweet corn is being used
! in the north.
Pastures have failed in the south
west and live stock has been put on
winte. feed. Potatoes and garden
truck in this section have been dam
aged by drouth. Home grown toma,
toes are on the market in nearly all
sections.
