Bumper Corn Crop Uncertain in Hawkeye State
Des Moines July 27 Associated Press reports corn in town on the verge of severe injury from soil moisture deficiency. Director Charles D. Reed warns a few more hot, dry days could push corn to poor condition and stresses that a bumper crop is far from assured. Oats yields are very unsatisfactory, spring wheat nearly failed, and winter wheat averages about 19 bushels per acre. Threshing is 60 to 75 percent complete. a soaking rain is badly needed.
