REVIEW OF ROCK ISL.

EXCELLENT CONDITIONS.
WINTER AND SPRING
WHEAT OUTLOOK GOOD
Seed Corn Situation Not Satisfactory
in North Central and Northeastern
Sections - Acreage Of Cabbage and
Melons in Growing Districts to Be
Greatly Reduced-Ample Moisture.

Mason City, May 22.-Crops in north
ern Iowa look good to agents Of the
Rock Island railway. according to the
weekly crop report, released yesterday
as follows:
Winter wheat in southern and south
eastern Iowa has made excellent prog
ress, because of good rains and warm
weather. Oats, rye, barley and spring
wheat are in good condition. Practi-
cally Is per cent of the corn planting
has been done. The cold weather of
few weeks back destroyed practically
the entire, peach crop. but all other
| fruit, as we'll as potatoes and other
vegetables, are in good condition. The
| hay outlook is good due to recent rains,
and pastures are in fine condition. The
acreage of the cabbage and melon crops
in the Muscatine, Nichols and Cone
districts will be considerably less than
last year. The cabbage that has been
planted is doing well.
In the central section both the winter
and spring wheat outlook is very good.
due to recent rains Oats, rye and
barley show good stand and with
favorable weather should produce a
good crop. Corn planting has been de-
layed on account of cold weather and
shortage of seed corn, the farmers pre-
ferring to wait until there is no chance
of losing their seed. Possibly about
one-third of the crop has been planted
and this was in the southern central
section. Peaches were also killed in
this section, but ali other fruits are in
full blossom, and the outlook is excel
lent. The potato acreage will be less
than last year. Hay and pastures are
in good condition,
In the northern central and north
eastern sections the seed corn situation
is very acute Cold weather has de-
layed planting very much. not over %
per cent of the crop has been planted.
The outlook for wheat oats, rye and
barley is excellent. All fruits in these
sections are in good condition, except
peaches they having been killed gen.
orally thruout the state. Recent warm
weather has been of great benefit to all
crops and pastures are in fine condi-
ton.
In the western section crop pros
of the year. ali small grains being in
good condition, The weather was warm
during the first ten days of the month.
There were good rains on the 9Th. Sth
and 9th. SinceIhe 10th the weather
has been coolerzs Pastures are in good
condition. Corn blowing is. well ao-
yanced. and some planting has been
done in the western and southwestern
sections Apples. cherries and plunns
are in full blossom. no danger having
been reported from the frost on May !.
In the northwestern section the con-
dition of wheat. oats and barley is very
favorable. During the first week OF
May the temperature was up to 95 de-
grees. but during the second week 1t
dropped to as low as 29 degrees, which
is too cold for planting corn. tho about
10 per cent Of the crop has been plant
ed There is ample moisture in the
ground. Pastures are in good condi
ton.

The only way to check this rust out

Of every common, tall barberry bush
in the state, both the green leaf and
the purple leaf varieties, at once. A
state wide campaign to eradicate these
dangerous shrubs has been going on
in Iowa for some time under the d.
rection of DR. Melhus, working with
the United States department Of agri-
culture. All Of the larger cities have
practically completed the eradication
work There is still much barberry
that has not been removed, especially
in smaller towns and in the country.
This outbreak threatens to extend

says DR. Melhus. Within the past
week infections have been found on
barberry leaves in at least Ave states
Some places where 1t has been OBJ

Is Dresser Permanently ssnehed2

Detroit, May 22.-Supporters of the
Detroit Americans are watching with
keen interest a shake-up Manager Jen-

Tigers. Leo Dresser, the first base
man, who came here from st. Paul,
and who started the season as a hard
hitter was replaced at first base by
Harry Weiimann, whose place in right
field was given to Frank Walker.
Whether the shift was made merely
for the Boston series or whether Dres-
sen is destined to lose out as a first
string man is the point that interests
local enthusiasts. Dresser was the
batting sensation OF the Tigers train

badly shortly before the eastern trip
began.

COLORS THAT BEGIN TO WIN
Midnight Blue, Deep Burgundy, Tobac-
CO Brown and Silver Blue
The Mermaid Frock.

SO far the buying of French gowns
has not begun. They have just started
to make their appearance from be-
lated shipments. But as far as the
American fashions have run, and as
far as the season has settled itself
down into broad highway on which
we will tread, the colors that will win
out are midnight blue, deep Burgundy,
tobacco brown and a silvery light blue,
asserts fashion writer.
By the way, there Is remarkable
new gown in this silvery blue. 1t used
to be called lake blue, and ii may still
simmer Of white over it like surface
water or moonlight. 1t is worth de-
scribing In detail because it is new
and most alluring.
The gown made in it is mermaid
frock, and all the material used Is
crinkled into a machine pleating that
is finer than anything we have ever
known. 1t is one-piece frock, with
"A skirt that clings TO the hips, goes in
at the ankles and knees, then spreads
out into a little frOth over the feet
which Is kicked aside as the wearer
walks. There is round bodice, with
a round decolletage, and two very fiat
pieces that extend below the girdle on
the hips. The sleeves are like fins,
very short and pointed at the back.
A woman with yellow hair could
wear this frock and pass for mer-
maid. The gown is Of so supple and
transparent texture that when 1t Is
in the hand it shrinks into nothing
ness like balloon with the air out
Of it.
