ment Over Last Year.
Des Moines, July 10.-The July re-
port issued by State Horticulturist

Summer apples, 81 per cent; fall
apples, 81 per cent; winter apples, oS
per cent; pears, 20 per cent; American
lums, 45 per cent; Domestica plums,
~ per cent; Japanese plums, 13 per
cent; peaches, less than l per cent;
blackberries, 81 per cent; GRAPES, ~
per cent OF q full crop.
Apples promise the best yield on the
Missouri slope and plums in the Mis-
sissippi valley. Blackberries are In
good condition and grapes promise a
fair crop in the southern part of the
state.
"Twig or fire blight is much more
common through the state than usual, .
said Mr. Greene Excessive moisture
has induced rapid growth in nearly
all trees, which has been favorable for
the development of pear blight. Con.
ditions have been favorable for the
growth OF fungus; extra care should
be taken to prevent damage to the
crop from these diseases. Insect dam,
age about normal"

and put up a substantial log house
which he intended to use for hotel.
During the summer the hostile Sioux
chased band of Mosqua Indians
through that part of the county and
Mr.. Franklin evidently concluded that
he was a little too far west, so in the
fall when Henry and David Luck, A.

he sold his claim to them. The log
cabin was occupied by Fred Luck and
family for many years. Mr.. Luck
states that a crop of grain has been

Des Moines, July Farmers,

do no good for the railroads to cut the

his weeds down and the county super

which run along the right Of way are
kept clear also.
"The scattering of the seeds from
the right of way may cause much trou-
BILE to the careful farmer along the
railroad, but It il not fair to expect the
corporations to cut down the weeds
unless the farmer does his part and
sees that no seeds grow on his side
of the fence"
The recent rains have caused the
weeds to grow rapidly along the rail,
road tracks in this state, and in some
places where the owners have cleared
away the rank growth near the right
