Weather bulletin reports heavy showers aid Iowa crops
The weekly bulletin from Section Director George M. Chappel for the week ending May 4 notes much planting underway in southern Iowa as corn sowing begins. Cool early days limited growth, but warm spells and copious showers Friday to Sunday boosted moisture for grains, grasses, and early potatoes. Fruit blooms remain variable with some crops favored by recent warmth and rain, though insect activity is low and fertilization may suffer.
