For the week ending May 18, 1913.
Des Moines, Iowa.
Reports from nearly all parts of the
state tell about the same story of cool,
cloudy weather, frequent and heavy
showers and delayed farm .work. The
temperature was, however, but slight
ly below the normal over the south
ern half of tbe
state, and the rainfall over the south
ern tier of counties was considerable
less tban an inch. Over the northern
sections the temperature was four to
eight degrees below the seasonable av
erage and the rainfall was much in ex
cess of the normal) especially in the
western counties where creeks were
out of their banks £and much ^bottom
land was flooded. Probably not more
than one-fourth Of the corn has been
planted, and there is much ground yet
to be plowed. All small grain and
grass crops are in excellent condition.
Orchard and small fruits are unusually
promising.
