A GOOD CROP
SECRETARY WILSON SAYS THE
NATION HAS PLENTY
OF CORN.

Washington, Sept. 24-Secretary
Wilson of the agricultural department
returned to Washington last night from
Ogden, Utah, where he delivered al
speech before the irrigation congress.
His journey both ways took him
through the heart of the corn belt. AS
the result of his trip he says not only
that there will be plenty of corn this
all grain in the land.
Crop Late and Light.
THE corn crop" he said lowing to
the popularity of the season, was late
and light. Heavy floods destroyed it
on bottom lands to a great extent. Con-
tinued rains throughout June and July
saturated the level lands and retarded
the growth of corn. The frost has in
jured in streaks. Through central
Iowa perhaps one-quarter of the corn
has been touched by the freeze, but
what has not been affected by frost is
ripening rapidly with this fine weather.
owa's Corn No. 2.
Iowa, for instance, will produce more
No. corn than last year. There will
be plenty of corn in the country be-
cause feeding was very extensive last
year, as the corn was of such a charac-
ter that 1t had to be fed. Feeding last
year was Improbable. Very many
feeders lost money, therefore they will
feed less this year.
Heavy Hay Crop.
"a heavy hay crop was secured this
season and the pastures have been and
still are in excellent condition. s
The Wheat Crop.
Gas to wheat, thrashing has been de-
layed by rainy weather. If the present
good weather continues it will progress
rapidly In considering the wheat crop
we must take account of all the wheat
growing countries. We are getting in
TO telegraphic relationship with most
of the European countries SO as to be
able to estimate the worlds crops more
closely than heretofore has been done
Taking our farm products as whole,
there is an abundance in the land"

"And was it very shortly after thai
that you were shot?"
Yes"
The witness then told OF being tax

the shooting and stated that Richards
who was with him there all night told
him that if he would take the respon
sibilty for the robbery, Mrs. Bairt
should receive $1,000. Baird SAYS tina,
the money was not paid to his wifi.
and says this is the reason he has ties
tilted against Richards.
