AMES, Iowa, July 15.-Iowa's
apple crop will yield only about 81
percent of last years crop, making a
prospective harvest Of about million
bushels. That is the careful estimate
of the horticulturists Of the Iowa
agricultural experiment station who
have Just figured over the reports
gathered from all sections of the state
by the weather and crop service OF
Des Moines. The grape crop prom
Uses to be about 80 percent OF full
crop. Earlier danger of black rot and
anthracnose has been practically elm
mated in most sections and the
grapes are developing excellently.
The different sections Of Iowa will
produce the following percentages OF
last years crop:
Northwest, q percent; north cen
trail, Al percent: northeast, % percent;
west central, 81 percent: central, A
percent; east central, 80 percent:
southwest, SO percent; sol til central
IS percent; southeast, So percent.
The fruit in most sections is above
normal in size for this period and
with normal rainfall from now on
should be good. Unsprayed orchards
are badly infested with cooling moth
and in some localities with scab. The
apple and plum curculio have done
considerable damage.

BRIDGES ARE ALL RIGHT

Undeh the present system, county
road work In Iowa can be likened
somewhat to the construction of gov
eminent buildings; that Is, the county
forces may do all the work and shout
der all the financial obligations and
do the work in manner satisfactory
to themselves, but the o. K. must be
received by some party of the state
highway commission before the job is
''oficially" done, and nod of the
head Of one of the state men may put
back at nought everything done by
the county men. At first, when the
state highway commission, composed
of few men, had all the work in
their hands, there was no end of diff
Guilty and delay in important county
work, especially bridge work. Lee
county tangled with the commission
ers on few occasions, to the delay
Of needed bridge construction and in
cidentally to the interest OF some
bridge manufacturing concerns.
With the districting of the state
and the appointment Of highway in
spector over each district, however,
says the Fort Madison Democrat, the
trouble is somewhat alleviated. ]. S.
Morrison, inspecting engineer for this
district, has just completed several
days review of the Lee county work
and he left not only his approval OF
all the county work done last spring
and summer, but also a high compli-
ment to the concrete work. 1t is note
worthy that in the possession of Coun-
ty Engineer NJ e. Bannon, the super
vision Of road work has prevented a
single criticism or objection on the
part Of the state commissioners and
their sub-officers and has really
placed Lee county to the front in the
road'work Of the state. This is par
ticularly worthy of emphasis as the
river counties have to contend with
hill difficulties uncommon to the ave.
age Iowa county.
Mr.. Morrison's inspection included
the general road work, the grading,
surveying, buildings, culverts, bridges.
His o. K. was placed on the Wahrer
bridge, the Front street bridge at Fort
Madison and the Newton bridge. The
latter Is a magnificent structure. with
a sixty.foot steel span and concrete
floor deck.

every assurance that actual develop

points the work Is well under way,
and at others serious consideration is

Hampton, Ill, has expended approx

one Of the most modern and accessible
steamboat docks and boat houses on
the upper Mississippi river.
Davenport is investing 100000 In

lease for industrial purposes. EST
mated revenues from the land accre-
lions will be about $4,000 per year.
This will take care Of large part of
