Des Moines. May 2s.-The big prob
lem of seeking proper adjustment Of
assessment values for Iowa property
so that the tax burdens shall be equal
ICED as far as possible among all tax
payers is to come. on at the state house
commencing July IA. It promises to
be even more interesting than many
Of the former sessions of the state ex-
ecutive council.
The representatives Of the railroads
will be heard on the first day and
probably the second, then the equip
ment car companies and express COM
panies and sleeping car companies:
after which the matter of adjustment
of values as between counties and
class Of property will be taken up.
Hearings will be closed on the 18th un.
less arrangements are made otherwise
Railroad Assessment Easy.
Railroad assessment will be COM
paratively easy, except so far as it
may be necessary to change it if there
is made any material change in the as
sessment Of real estate and other prop
erty. But the big thing this year will
be the assessment of real estate, or
rather the adjustment of real estate
values as between counties to conform
to the plain mandate of the law and
the courts as to fixing actual values
as the proper basis.
Nearly all the counties have reported
to Secretary A. H. Dawson on the
showing as to sale price and assessed
value Of typical tracts of farm land
and town prODerty
Farm land is actually assessed, in
stead OF at full and actual value, at
from 80 to so per cent Of its value
In Plymouth county. for instance, the
returns show a relation between the
two of 30.5 per cent. Winneshiek coun-
ty assesses at 60.2 per cent Of sale
value. Dickinson at COL per cent and
Monroe at 60.2 per cent.
On town property the assessment
in some cases runs up to as high as
1872 in Cedar county, and as low as
1914 in Woodbury..
Relative Figures.
The percentages as shown by the re-
ports to Secretary Dawson in counties
that have reported, on farm land and
town lots, being the relation between
assessment to sale price. are as below:

SPRAY FOR APPLE scAs.
Prospects For Crop Bright But Blight
Has Appeared.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames. May 2s.-"Spray for apple
scab," is the word sent out to all Iowa
orchardists by Prof. S. A. Beach. head
of the department OF horticulture at
Iowa State College. The weather
conditions this spring have been very
favorable to this pest; unless prompt
action is taken great damage will be
done to the 1918 crop all over the
state" said he.
Prospects for a big apple crop arc
hattering just now. but so much apple
scab has made its appearance 1t is
probable the final output of first class
fruit at the end of the season will be
decidedly less than the crop of 1912.
A vigorous fight now will save much
loss later.
Lime sulphur and arsenate Of LEAD
is the proper spray mixture at this
time. Later another spray of the Bor-
deaux mixture or arsenate of lead
will help control both the apple scab
and the late season diseases, as apple
blotch and apple bitter rot"

SAVES HIS SWEETHEART.
Georgia Boy Has. Dangerous Expe-
rience in Kansas.

Roy Camden, of Decatur, Ga, was
badly injured recently while saving
his fiance, Myrtle Thompson, of Ath-
ems, Kas., from drowning. Camden
became acquainted with Miss Thomp-
son while she was visiting in Atlanta
four weeks ago.
He went to Athens to visit her and
took her motorboat riding on the
Missouri river. The gasoline tank
excloded, covering both with burning
oil. With arms and face scared,
Camden sprang into the water with
the girl and tried to swim ashore.
The current was TOO swift, and he
was carried two miles down stream,
when he managed to catch a snag
sticking out of tho water, to which
he clung with one arm while holding
the girl above water with the other.
After clinging to the snag for several
hours, they we're seen by passengers
on a Missouri Pacific train near
Daily, Kas. Roy Lewis, nearby
farmer was notified and rescued the
two in a rowboat, and they were car
ried to Atchison.
