Weather and Crop Report Des Moines Aug 27
The past week was warmer than usual with rainfall in many localities. Windstorms on the 23rd caused some damage while threshing lags in the north and center. Corn nears maturity, early fields ready for harvest, and widespread soil condition favors plowing. Fall pasturage good, hay short, September drought could aid unharvested crops. Apple crop statewide unusually light, late varieties scarce.
