Corn Has Made Good Advancement
Des Moines Iowa September 5 The weather crop bulletin for the week ending September 2 notes very warm and showery weather with 3 to 5 degrees above normal temperatures.

Corn has made very good advancement with most fields likely safe by about September 25 if conditions stay normal. Frostless nights and warm days are needed to finish ripening by October 1 and a warm week afterward would help.
