Des Moines, May 4.-Reports from
over Iowa indicate that the fruit crop
OF the state, with the exception OF the
very late tree varieties and the small
fruits, Is almost wiped out by the sue
cession of frosts eliminating with the
heavy freeze of last night.
Director John r. Sage Of the Iowa
weather and crop service said that all
the fruit that has been in blossom was
already destroyed SO that last nights
freeze did no damage, but that the
small fruits which have not blossomed
were not hurt. From southwestern
Iowa comes the universal report that
the peach crop will be nothing at all
Professor Holden OF Annes declared
that the oat crop has suffered greatly
even where it was replanted. The hay
crop is known to have been greatly
damaged. not so much from the frosts
as the long period OF cold and dry
weather.
Some small fruit men of Des Moines
estimate that tenth Of usual crop
will result, basing their opinion upon an
examination Of the buds.
Capt c. l.. Watrous, the nurseryman.
declared last night that there was
little fruit left to be destroyed In the
freeze which was expected during the
night, adding that there was just a
bare possibility that there might be
little left If the freeze were not too
hard.
1t was reported at the Iowa seed
store that not all the fruit men OF the
county had given UP hope OF saving
something on their crops of cherries
and apples but that everything else
had gone.

Of the installation Of an electric light
plant at Bows. It is figured that by

item will be eliminated. The town is
at present without a lighting system,
altho a gas franchise was secured by
the Iowa Gas company Of this city last
year, but no plant was installed. The
