IOWA WEATHER AND CROPS Vagaries of the Climate Bother Offiolal Estimator Very JfncL SUDDEN TURN DISCOUNTS THE BULLETIN Longed-For Hot Weather Comes with Vnespected Rash and Pats New Phase on Crop Sit uation. (From a Staff Corrsspondent.) DES MOINES, June 10. (Special.) The vagaries of Iowa weather at this time keeps the crop estimators guessing. This morn ing the thermometer took a sharp upturn and by noon waa at 90 degrees. Two days ago there waa actual danger of frost In this part of Iowa. The crop bureau has been compelled to admit that conditions are becoming very bad for the farmers in Iowa. The report for last week. Issued this morn ing, makes the following statement of the situation: The past week was sllsrhtly warmer than the average, and in all districts except the northwest there was an excess of rainfall, amounting to heavy downpours and dam aging floods In extensive areas. Following are among the heaviest amounts reported: Clarlnda, 6.S0 Inches; Bedford, 606; Vllllaca, 3.45; Albla, 332; Charlton, $.18; Council Bluffs, 2.92; Carroll, 4.65; Mount Vernon, 4.95: Jefferson, 4.10; Grlnnell, 4.01; Newton, 3.01: Elkader. 4.93. At Clarlnda. on the 6th, 4 89 Inches fell in about an hour and a half. Such storms were necessarily damaging to crops on slopes and bottoms, and in the cornfields of the submerged districts the area of well nigh total destruction must be very large. Me have no means of estimating the full extent of damage. In the northwest there Is still pressing need of rain, while the larger part of the state needs dry, clear weather. The oat crop Is becoming bulky In many localities. Grasa Is doing notably well, both In meadows and pastures. The turn of the weather toward summer conditions this morning, however, augurs better for the crops, for the weather has been entirely too cold for some time. A growing period at this .time will Improve the prospect for Iowa crops.
