The outlook for fruit at this time is con-
sidered one of the poorest the state has
ever had.
Demar for Board of Parole.
John Demar. ex-representative from Davis
county. is the latest suggestion for mem
bership on the Board of Parole, to succeed
DR.. Emmert. Demar is a young lawyer.
He has been admitted to the bar since his
election to the legislature. Formerly he
taught school. Some are arguing that there
should be a lawyer on the board. Senator
Berry, one of the members, is a lawyer, and
on one occasion at least he had to write
both the minority and the majority report
and recommendation to the governor. 1t is
claimed. for this reason. II for no other,
the other member should be a lawyer. Gov
ernor Carroll has been out of his office
for a week and there has not been the
slightest indication OF what his intentions
were in the matter.
Tours Lakes with Microscope.
Wesley Greene, state horticulturist, Is
planning a tour of the lakes Of Iowa with
a microscope, in order to make a study OF
the insects that inhabit them Especially
will he take the scum from stagnant pools
and lakes in an effort to learn II there
are any insects there that are injurious to
trees or that develop insects injurious to
the horticultural interests Of the state. He
will prepare his findings in the form Of a
treatise.
women'a Day at State Fair.
Thursday of the state fair week will be
woman's day. The day was set apart today
by Secretary Simpson of the agricultural
department and on that day the equal suf-
~fragists Of the state will make their demon
stration and give their parade. 1t will
probably be a regular fixture of the fair
program in years to come.
After Secretary Wilson,
Secretary Wilson will probably attend the
next meeting of the Association of State
and National Dairy and Food Commission
ers, which will be held in Denver about
August %. At the last convention there
was some adverse criticism Of the secre-
tary's rulings on some points. This criti-
cism was headed off by his friends, though
it is claimed that employees of the Agri-
cultural department at Washington sat in
the meeting and made no effort whatever
to stop the criticism. This year the friends
of the secretary propose to have him there
and he will probably set himself right
with the food and dairy commissioners OF
lne country. On MS return ne VIII take
in the Iowa state fair the following week.
Child Probably VIII Live.
The 11-months-old babe of John Bredimus
that was injured In an automobile accident,
being thrown TO the pavement and its skull
probably fractured, will probably live. II
was taken to a hospital, but because of it's
tender years It was difficult to ascertain
how badly It was injured. Careful nursing
has improved its condition 30 that it is
believed II will live.
