Damage to Iowa corn crop from heat and drought
Des Moines August 14 Twenty five million bushels of corn valued at 40,000,000 dollars were lost in Iowa due to recent hot winds and drought. The federal weather and crop bureau says the damage zone has spread northward with a northern boundary from Harrison to Scott. Prospects are excellent in the north half of the state but crops, gardens, potatoes, and timothy and clover seedings fail in the drought area. Threshing and stacking continue except in the north central and northwest districts where heavy rains delayed operations. Fall plowing proceeds where moisture allows.
