Reports of the secretary and other of
ficers at the annual meeting of the Coun
cil Blnffs Grape Growers' association Sat
urday showed that the organisation had
not enjoyed aa prosperous a season as in
1907. Aa a result of the disastrous condi
tions which prevailed last spring the fruit
crop In this vicinity wss light as compared
wth former years and the business done
by the association was less than half what
It was during the previous year. Reports
from growers, however, were that Indica
tions pointed to a heavy crop this year,
although It was conceded that It was a
little early to make a sure forecast.
The association placed Itself on record as
unanimously opposed to the proposed wide
tire legislation by the state legislature.
The members expressed themselves as be
ing of the opinion that tt would entlal
needless expense on the farmers.
That Iowa should have a law requiring
spraying of fruit trees and making other
regulations similar to those In force in
fruit states of the Pacific slope, for the
destruction of fruit pests was a sentiment
expressed by the members and the matter
was discussed at length, but no action waa
taken.
The old board of directors waa re-elected.
It Is composed aa follows: J. J. Aula
baugh, Alexander Wood, J. J. Hess, C.
Konlgmacher, Henry Sperling, W. S. Kee
Une, J. Gretzer, W. G. Rich, R. McKenxle.
These officers were elected: President, J.
J. Aulabuugh; vice president, Alexander

The directore adjourned to meet Satur
day, January 23, at which time the election
of a general manager will be held and
other business transacted.
The report of the secretary showed that
the receipts of the association during 1908
were $59,072.31, and tho disbursements were
$58,299.12. The sales of fruit for the sea
son amounted to $39,468.01, and salea of ma
terial were $4,845.11. The resources of the
association are placed at $33,581.63, and the
liabilities at $20,000, of which amount $16,000
represents stock subscriptions, making the
