Iowa Crops in Good Condition.

Des Moines, lowa, April 15.—Reports from all parts of the state show that the drouth has been effectually broken, the measures of precipitation ranging from one to four inches. A fair start has been made in plowing for corn. Farmers are pushing things on all lines with renewed confidence. Grass has made a vigorous start. In the districts where winter wheat is grown, reports are generally' more favorable. There are indications of an increased acreage of spring wheat, compared with last year, and a probable decrease in the acreage of oats.
