kSolMrGR CROP BENEFITED BY
/ HEAVY FALL DURING LAST
DAYS OF OLD YEAR.
4 aUARps YOUNG ROOTS
!. FROM PRESENT COLD WAVE


Des Molnes, Jan. "A bumper wheat
crop for this year is predicted IN the
December weather and crop review,
5ust completed by Charles D. Reed OF
the Iowa crop service. A generous
snowfall ranging from Christmas u to
the present time has protected tn"
winter wheat from the cold wave
sweeping across the state yesterday.
In his report he says:
Mild, moist weather with deficient
sunshine prevailed turnout the state
in December. SNOW ranging from a
trace in the northwest TO nearly foot
IN the southeast occurred on the gath.
4 cold wave was sweeping southeast
ward across the state on the Slst, but
il found winter wheat generously pro-
tected by snow in all but the western
counties. and even there the covering,
though light, is probably ample.
Some Damage.
A few localities reported damage by
alternate freezing and thawing and
heaying The general condition OF
the crop never was better at the close
of December. The large winter wheat
acreage Will ease the labor shortage
next spring In some southern coun-
ties overgrowth has been checked by
pasturins.
Feed and fuel were saved by the
mild weather; pastures were green
till covered with snow on the gath,
and live stock was able TO subsist n
~ sol az
the month. Influenza has widely af-
fected hogs, causing th.nness but lit
lie mortality; other live stock has SUI
fered slightly from the disease, but is
in general in good condition
80 Late lowing.
Frost disappeared from the ground
early in the month, after which plow-
ing continued till the 2ist in the north
and the cath in the south. and this
work was brought up 10 or above
normal. Many corn fields that had
been pastured out were plowed, which
is unusual in December.
Except in the southwest roads were
in the worst condition il years. -"
very little corn. live stock or other
farm products were marketed and a
large supply remains on the farms.
Much corn was shipped into the
southwest counties and much changed
hands locally for feed.
Fruit buds though slightly swelled IN
the south by the warm weather. are
believed to be generally safe. The
buds OF some shrubs became green
and dandelions bloomed in the ex-
IRENE southeast.
Corn. huslsing was practically COM
pieted.
