DES MONIES, Ia, June 2-(Special)-
The State Board Of Control gets only $4,000
from the state for use in making the re-
pairs at the institution for the feeble
minded at Glenwood. This is all that the
state executive council has at Its disposal.
1t was considered possible that II the
emergency warranted It the council might
make an extraordinary appropriation and
trust to the legislature TO approve the
same This would be a proceeding not
without precedent. AS the consultation
today between the council and the board 1t
was decided best that the board should try
to temporize with the help Of the $4,000.
The board will be able to save a little from
the other appropriations at Glenwood and
this can be used for the repair work. The
quarters in the custodial building occupied
by the officers and employees will be given
over so far as possible, for the use of the
inmates OF the institution. In one way or
another the board will get along until the
legislature makes an appropriation.
Iowa Crop Report for Week.
Crop bulletin. Des Moines. Ia. for week
ending June /: This has been the most
| unfavorable week Of the season. The tenn
perature, was below normal with a very
large excess of cloudiness. Heavy showers
i
state. and severe local windstorms (not tor
| nadoes) caused much damage to trees
windmills and light structures In many
places. Following are some OF the reports
OF heavy rainfall for the week: Des Moines
74O inches Jefferson. 7.4s; Scranton, 5.93
Carroll, AT; Marshalitown, 5.61; Blairs-
town, 5l0; Iowa City, 5.6S; Mt. Vernon,
4e; Grundy Center. 5.3o Amana, Sis;
Waterloo. ass; Logan, $50; Abba, 40;
! Charles City, LS All stations report a
very heavy excess above normal. Damage
| by floods has been almost unprecedented
| The loss to crops by washing will be con-
siderable, and much OF the lowlands will be
abandoned. Field work has been practically
impossible except In a very few favored
| localities. There is great need Of dry.
warm weather to repair some measure Of
the damages and to secure crops from the
uplands that have been planted. The acre
| age of all cereal crops must Of necessity be
materially less than the area harvested
last year. The apple crop is promising.

The supreme court today filed additional
opinions on appeal cases The DELAY was
due to the fact that the court became
badly scattered on account of the foods

cided the will case Of John Myer executor
against Rachel Weller. appellant, from
