WEATHER CUTS CROP
OF MICHIGAN APPLES
Yield Expected to Be From 30
TO 40 Percent Normal
Demand Strong.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Aug. o.
Surveys Of the apple crop in the
apple producing counties Of western
Michigan support the reports that
the total crop will be only from so
TO 40 per cent Of normal
In many counties the production
VIII not run over 90 per cent; in
others there is a more meager sup
ply and many sections in which
shipping has been heavy in the past
now report scarcely enough apples
Of any variety 10 supply even local
demands.
Primarily the cause OF the short
apple crop is the late frOsts But
during the summer the heat has been
intense thrOu ghoUt the entire state
and rainfall has been scarce, a COM
hination which discourages growth
A greater demand than ever be-
fore is expected 10 absorb Michigan
apples and upon this orchardists
and shippers are depending 70 obtain
a high price for their products The
Michigan Fruit Growers Exchange,
the State marketing agency. reports
buyers are bidding strongly for the
Michigan crop on account of short
ages in other states, il appears, it
is said that all of the big apple
states. only the big northwestern
boxed apple belt" s conceded a
large crop.
The movement of Duchess apples
from Michigan is well under way
and prices are high.

TO ASK FOR LAW TO
CHECK DROWNINGS
Death of Chicagoan in Magi-
clan Lake Spurs Cass County
Coroner to Action.

DOWAGIAC. Aug. Coroner s.
E. Bryant. Of Cass county, said today
he would ask the Michigan legisla-
ture to consider a bill that would re-
quire resort owners TO provide pull
moters with a competent man TO
handle them.
The coroner's decision. he said.
follows the drowning Sunday of
Ernest Hiene, 1S-year- Chicago
youth at Magician lake. Hiene's
body was recovered 80 minutes after
he sank and ordinary respiratory
methods were unavailing.
DR.. Bryant believes that the popu-
larity Of Michigan resorts, not yet in
their heydey. depends upon the safe
guards they throw around their Wis
ltors. Drownings. he believes. are
largely a matter OF inadequate meas
ures to prevent them Resort owners
could not be compelled TO employ
experienced life guards, Bryant says
and he considers it unnecessary. The
pulmotor should be part Of the
equipment every resort owner should
have If he wishes TO continue his
success. But a pulmotor without an
experienced man to handle it would
be of no use, in the doctors opinion.
But two drownings have occurred
in Cass county lakes this season
Sam r. Pace, South Bend, drown
ed in Indian lake before the season
had gotten underway. The second
drowning occurred Sunday at Ma
gician lake.
