Waterways Rise On Wet Week Across Iowa and Illinois
Heavy rainfall across Iowa and northern Illinois sent Rock River in Illinois several feet higher than normal while Maquoketa and Wapsipinicon rivers topped typical levels. The Mississippi River in the region rose sharply as tributaries contributed flow, but main-stem levels did not force any navigation dam closures. Rock Island locks handled 14,9655 tons, including 62,650 tons coal and 48,400 tons petroleum products, with 15 towboats moving 76 barges downstream.

Illinois extends dove season to four weeks for 1954
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service expands the Illinois dove season from 30 to 35 days, running September 1 to October 4, with shooting hours one hour before sunrise to sunset and bag and possession limits at eight. Regulators urge fair play, warn against wire shooting, and note no duck stamp is required for migratory birds though buying one is advised. Polio cases in Illinois reach 63 in the first half of 1954, down from 112 in the same period last year.

Illinois drought fears deepen in 1955 comparison
Dr. A M Buswell of the Illinois State Water Survey warns southern and south central Illinois face sharper water shortages than 1955 unless heavy rains restore sources. He notes worse streamflow and groundwater than last year, with rainfall deficits of 7 to 12 inches in the southern third from Oct 1953 to May 1954. The Illinois Public Aid Commission will raise food allowances in Champaign Fulton Sangamon Pratt and Richland counties starting with August grants after a June price survey shows three percent or more change in those counties.
