Weather and crop notes from Des Moines district 1903
Wet and cloudy week delays corn planting in central and western Iowa while Mississippi river counties report timely showers. Warmth improves northeast east central and southeast areas. Missouri river districts endure heavy rain with wind hail and lightning, reducing corn acreage. Germination and stands look good for corn though oat rank growth on rich soils is a drawback. Mail tests foresee railroad contracts rising 40 to 70 percent from four years ago. Also notes King’s New Discovery claims for lung and throat troubles with testimonials and trial bottles offered.
