Iowa House kills income tax bill in debate
The Iowa House voted 36 to 72 to kill the Patterson Johnson income tax bill after a long debate. The move likely ends the issue for this session unless a reconsideration motion passes. Four members spoke for and three against the measure. Local farmers endorsed a bank deposit guaranty law, the proposed state income tax, a gasoline tax as a property replacement tax, and a road bond issue. The Mathews freight rate bill passed, allowing indirect- route railroads to charge rates matching direct-line rivals. A motor carrier tax rewrite was proposed, moving administration from the railroad commission to the secretary of state's motor vehicle department. A new highways bill aims to revise laws, secure federal aid, and shift primary road funds to the state highway commission, ending certain special paving assessments.

Proper pruning yields more and better fruit from year one through age of usefulness. It aids culture, spraying, thinning, and future pruning, removing excess growth to direct remaining parts for efficient orchard work.

Fruit of Concord Grape Is Produced From Buds
The Concord grape fruit forms almost entirely from buds on last year's canes. Most buds will yield fruit bearing shoots if spring growth conditions are favorable. Some buds stay dormant due to growth starting from the tip, and a small portion of shoots may be barren at harvest from missed blossom clusters or post bloom losses.
