A FREAK IN FRUIT.
H. N. PRATT Of Albion, Produces An A.
tractive Berry By Grating.

y
tractive Berry BY Grating.
A small case of fruit that none but
the producer and seller could name was
exhibited in the display window OF
George Andrews this morning. The
fruit certainly looked good and at
tracted the attention of all passersby.
It's appearance is really it's chief merit,
however, as it's taste or flavor is by no
means in accord with its size, and
elegant appearance. 1t is known as the
strawberry raspberry and is a result
of grating a strawberry scion upon a
raspberry bush. the experiment hav-
ing been made by HI. n. PRATT, we'll
known resident and fruit grower of
Albion. Mr. Pratz produced only a
limited quantity of the berries this
season but will doubtless experiment
further with a view to improving the
quality of the fruit
The fruit combines the size of the
strawberry with the form and char
acteristics of the raspberry, in that
the stem or core adheres to the bush
when the berry is plucked. 1t has a
slight taste of each and is soft bat
not juicy like either of the others.

as has been previously outlined in
these columns. These improvements
include the construction of a new con-
crete dam, changing the wagon bridge
across the river, demolition of the cid
Woodbury. mill, and change in The
location of the pumping station and the
dam.
New Plant Farther Up Stream.
The new power plant will be built
about forty feet farther up stream
than the present pumping station, in
order to utilize the water power Of the
river after the new concrete dam shall
have been constructed, which will be
about 100 feet farther down stream
than the present dam
While the new power plant will not
be materially larger than the present
station, it is to be much better in all
respects, with largely increased power
and equipped with machinery thruout
of the most modern pattern and proved
efficiency.
Dam to Be Fine Structure.
The new dam will be of the same
elevation as the present one, but will be
far more substantial and durable, by
reason of being of concrete construc-
ton. 1t will contain a twenty foot
| flood gate, believed TO be ample for re-A
lieving the pressure or overflow oc-
casioned by high water periods and
fully safeguarding the riparian rights
of property owners further up the
river. The dam will be in strict ac-
cordance with the requirements as set
! forth in the courts decree, when the
city acquired the rights in the prem
| Uses.
Bridge to Be Moved.
An Improvement that the general
public will certainly appreciate is; the
proposed change in the river bridge.
This is to be swung straight across
the river. The west end will rest prac-
tically where 1t is now, but the east
end will be considerably lower down
stream. This will do away with the
existing angle, at the mill corner and
materially lessen, if not entirely elimi-
nate the danger Of collisions on the
bridge. It will also result In material
improvement of the city side approach
and reduction Of grade in the mill
hill.
1t is not possible at this time TO even
approximate the cost of these improve
nents, but it will aggregate many
| thousands of dollars.

to the acre. or a total Of 555 bushels.
Mr. Woodward had the rankest growth
in wheat ever experienced Much of
1t went down early, and altho there was
not much of it that blighted, it was ex-
tremely heavy, and in some places i'm
possible to cut. Mr.. Woodward be-
lieves that If the fields had stood up
properly he would have secured close
to forty bushels per acre. Mr.. Wood
ward thinks that his ground was too
rich for the wheat, altho his yield was
of a very superior quality.
Wheat is bringing on market here 81
per bushel, and for seed, which some Of
it will be sold, it will bring s1.50.

FLOUR MILLING FIRM
Trip Promoted BY Union Mills Com

To see how winter wheat is grown
on farms in Marshall county, and es-
pecially for the purpose of interesting
Blackhawk county farmers in growing
this cereal, the Union Mills Company,
of Waterloo. promoted small sized
excursion of farmers to this city to-
day. The party, including Mr.. E. R.
Mcdonald, of the Union Mills Conn
pany, included thirteen men, eight of
whom are from near Waterloo.

rift Greene & Son, who loaded the Wis
tors into automobiles and took them
to the Greene farm. just west of the
city and also at Linn Brook. also to
The George Darling farm, southwest
OF the city. the Thaddeus Binford farm,
on Marion street. the James Andrew
farm on West Summit street. and what
was formerly the Packard farm, west
of the city, which is owned now by ].
.C. Nelson.
On each of these farms winter wheat
has been grown this year. Merritt
Greene & Son have 12O acres planted
to the grain. Treshing is in progress
there also on the Packard farm.
Want Farmers to Grow 1t.
The trip was the result of con-
signment of winter wheat, which the
Union Mills Company purchased of
Greene & Son last year. The Union
Mills Company is naturally interested
in the grain, because of it being es-
pecially adapted for flour making. but
little or none of it is grown in Black
hawk county. Desiring that farmers in
that county become interested so that
it could secure an ample supply, the
milling company brought the party to
this city, to see the grain growing and
to learn of the method of cultivation
harvesting, etc.
Those who made up the party from
Blackhawk county were Messrs. w. D
