FIELD WORK
is RESUMED
After Month of Frequent, Heavy
Showers, Rainy Season Comes
to Close In This
State.

The Iowa weather crop bulletin for
the week ending May 10, has just
been issued as follows:
Field work was resumed generally
on the 9th and 10th. After month
of frequent. heavy showers, the rainy
period came to close with the gem
eral rain of May 9th. More rain has
fallen and more days have been rainy
since February LIST than in any other
similar period in the thirty years of
statewide records in Iowa. Hail
storms occurred in Appanoose, Deca'
tur, Johnson, Monroe, Warren, Wayne
and Winneshiek counties on the 9Th.
In Wayne county the stones were
three-fourths inch in diameter and
caused slight damage. Sunshine aver
aged about normal, being 16 per
cent. above normal at Dubuque and
IA per cent. below normal at Sioux
City. Temperatures, though higher
at the beginning and ending OF the
week, averaged degrees below nor
NAL.
Corn planting became general on
the 18th, wherever the ground was
dry enough. The greatest progress
was made in the Missouri and Big
Sioux watersheds where 80 to 80 per
cent. of the spring blowing is done
and corn planting is making rapid
progress. In the lower Des Moines
valley, the lowlands are under water
Tor very wet, only the uplands have
been plowed, and a bare beginning
has been made in corn planting.
Small grains made good progress
and their condition is excellent, eH
lcept in a few localities where winter
wheat is lodging on rich soil and
turning yellow on saturated lowlands.
The crop measures about twenty-five
inches high in some fields In Ringgold
county and is beginning to head in
some counties. Rye is heading in
several counties.
Fruit prospects continue good; the
weather has been favorable for
spraying; and blooming has reached
the north line.
Pastures and hay prospects were
never better at this time of year.
Alfalfa will be cut this month In
Fremont county.
