COME DAMAGE DONE TO SMALL
FRUIT IN SOUTHWEST IOWA
BY RECENT FRosTs.
SEVERAL VINEYARDS \
HURT BY KILLING
Younger Vines Have Lateral Roots
Killed During Winter-Main Roots
Still Living in Most Cases - Ames
College Man Visits and In'psots
Iowa's Great Fruit Section.

Council Bluffs, May 1.-The report
that grape vines in the vicinity of
Council Bluffs have been winter in
jured has caused considerable appre-
hension among grape growers and to
get at the true facts in the situation
Prof. TT. Nancy Of the Ames agri-
cultural college has made an investi-
cation.
In going over the situation, says
Professor Nancy, it has been found
that some injury does exist, but from
present indications it is impossible to
determine just how severe this injury
will be. However, 1t is probable that
the damage will not be as heavy as
reports indicate. Mr.. Nancy says:
ION young vines the leaves are In
jured to some extent and the lateral
roots near the surface Of the ground
are dead. The main root in practical
ly all observed was alive. These vines
will evidently start growth from near
the surface of the ground and come
thru the season all right.
son the older bearing vines certain
amount of the bearing wood is deao
and there is considerable injury to the
fruiting buds. On the bearing wood
of grape vines there are always sec
ondary fruit buds which usually start
in case the primary bud is injured. In
the present instance these secondary
buds in general are alive and perhaps
will produce considerable fruit in the
ayent that the urinary buds are killed.
1.-THE root injury to the older vines
is confined to the smaller roots near
the surface Of the ground. The main
roots have not been injured to any
great extent. In the worst cases the
older vines should not be killed any
farther than the surface Of the ground.
THE injury to the vines during the
past winter is due to the fact that the
soil went into the winter in very dry
condition. During the winter the I'M
