No AMENDMENT NOW NECES
SARY
Supreme Court Decision 81
Ditch Law Removes All
Legal Obstacles.

Des Moines, Ia, July TO-
The decree of the supreme
court sustaining the ditch MAX
ing law passed by the last gen
eral assembly will eliminate
the necessity of submitting a
constitutional amendment maxi
ing it possible to pass a valid
law relating to ditch and drain
age matters.
Representative Mahlon Head,
of Jefferson in the last days of
the session of 1904 prepared
and offered a constitutional
amendment meeting the OBJ
lection which the lawyers had
discovered in the act as prepar-
ed by a large committee of the
senate and house and designed
to make it possible to construct
drainage systems in Iowa on a
practical basis.
Since the supreme court,
however, has sustained the
drainage act in all it's parts it
will not be necessary to adopt
the amendment which Mr..
Head got through the last SEES
sion. The court therefore will
not have to pass on the validity
of the amendment.

For the week ending July II,
1905, Des Molnes, Iowa. The
week was cool, with excess of
cloudiness and scattered show
ers until the 18th, which
brought a period of high tenn
perature, with more favorable
conditions for haymaking, fin
ishing cultivation of late corn
and harvesting fall wheat, rye
and early oats and barley. In
the southern half of the state,
except in fields too wet for
binders, these small grain crops
have been cut. In the north
ern half barley and rye are be-
ing harvested, and oats and
spring wheat are ripening nor
mally with promise of a fair
yield.
Hay making is we'll advanced
in all districts where local con.
ditions were fairly good, but
there has been considerable loss
OF clover hay that was cut
p.lor to the 18th. The corn
crop is now making excellent
progress in all districts, except
on very wet lands, which will
be eliminated from the acreage
in final estimates of yield. In
earliest fields tassels are noted
and the color is good. The gen.
eral outlook for field crops is
very good. AS yet no material
damage by rust or blight is in
Dictated in the grain fields. The
hay crop is heavy, and pastur-
age is above normal. Early
potatoes yield abundantly. The
apple crop is disappointing.

The Future Of This Bottom
Mondamin ENTERPRISE:

AS we look over the rich soil
of the Missouri bottom the
question naturally arises,
"What will be the future of
this fertile valley?" No part
of Iowa holds in store as rich a
future as does this valley, even
though in some districts much
of the land is at present too
wet for cultivation. But the
history of other rich valleys
will be without a question the
history of this. AS the price
of land advances the low land
will be drained and will become
the most valuable for agricult.
ural purposes. The low and
level prairies of Illinois that
a few years ago was worthless
is today the most valuable and
readily brings $500 per acre.
When the theory of ditching
in Illinois was adopted it met
with the same opposition that
it does right here today, but
the ditch advocates pushed the
enterprise and thousands of
acres that were then worthless
have been reclaimed and today
stand at the head for agricult-
ural purposes.
We may talk of the low lands
of this bottom, and may even
all them worthless, but they
have a mission and before
many years roll around this
mission will be realized. Those
opposed to the drainage will
either be convinced that it will
be an improvement the real
benefit of which can hardly be
computed, or they will gradual
ly sell their lands to those hay-
ing faith in this much needed
improvement.
We talk of the great expense
of building these bitches and
canals, and yet it is compar-
atively small as compared to
the great loss of crops that
would have been raised on the
land were it not subject to
overflow. A wrong that could
be righted is the saddest that
exists today. Overflows and
crop failures could be avoided
if the proper course was taken,
but the overflow water of the
Sioux, Soldier, Steer creek,
Willow creek, Allen creek and
Boyer river must be taken care
of or much damage will con-
tinue to result from it. We are
told that the cost of damage
will not exceed on an average
of SIS per acre Of the land bene-
fitted. This is a mere trife as
compared with the benefits
only a single year. Of course

This is an ideal crop year.
The corn has now gained what
it lost during the cold weather
in the spring, and the prospects
for a bumper crop are firstr rate.
The rain last week assured the
potato crop. We can stand a
few days of hot weather when
we think of the good it will do
the corn a n d other growing
crops.
