Wheat reports are fairly encouraging, the rapid
progress OF harvesting and thrashing winter wheat

somewhat irregular reports from the Northwest
where a moderate amount OF injury has been suf-
fcrcd from rust. On the Pacific Coast the wheat
outlook Is brighter, large fall wheat yield being
assured. Kansas and Nebraska reports are much
better than appeared possible earlier In the season
Cool weather has retarded corn somewhat but de-
Law at this time is not ala rming and timely rains
have done much good. There is stilI much corn
that requires more moisture In order 10 obtain
best results out the whole this cereal promises
to yield a record breaking quantity. Oats are

ready 10 be cu: The crop will be large and prom
ises TO be OF very good quality. Wet weather has
retarded the harvesting OF hay in some sections
but most points have secured large yield. Pick
tng OF cotton will be general in Texas next week
and rapid progress is made wherever the sky has
been clear; but in several States recent heavy
rains have caused slight injury and facilitated the
spread OF insects. A few days OF hot dry weather
would offset all damage. but continued rains for
another week might prevent the yield from eclIps

Olympia, Oct. 26-John L. Murray
assistant state land commissioner, has
returned from the national capital,
bringing news that practically the last
obstacle in the way of tine reclamati
of vast area of arid land in Yakima
county which the state propose to put
under irrigation has been removed.
The project lacks only the technical
approval of the interior department
which is waiting on some minor cor
rections in the maps submitted to the
government by the state in making its
selection under the arid land act of
congress.
The commissioner of the general
land Office has approved the selection
as made by the state and his decision
against the interest opposing the state
project and in favor of the state was
brought by Mr.. Murray to Olympia.
The selection made by the state com
prises So, 5S4 80 acres of land, and it
will be irrigated under contract with
the Sunnyside Canal Company under
the provisions of an act passed by the
last legislature.
With the lands in the same district
which the same company already con-
trolls 100. 900 acres of the finest lands
in the state will be thrown open to set

Sunnyside canal is built into the new
district.

indepe ndent Operator Tells How He
Was BankruDted.

New York, Oct. 26.-John G. Had
dock, an independent coal mine owner
and operator, testifying before the in
terstate commerce commission in the
case of w. r. Hearst against the coal
carrying railroads, said that as re-
suit of discrimination in rates his COM
pany suffered loss of more than
$500 900 in less than eight years. This
loss meant the difference belween solv-
ency and insolvency, and his company.
which at one time had reputation of
high standing, which he jealousy
guarded as a result of the alleged dis
elimination, is now in the hands of
trustees.
Mr. Haddock said that he had per.
sistently complained to the manage
ment of the Lackawana company and
had been met by the proposition that
he turn his properties over to the rail
road. This he declined to do. In the
end there was a compromise by which
he received $3.50, 600 from the Lacka-
wana company in settlement of his
claim for $SOO,OOO.
MIR. Haddock also said that the
Lackawana company would not fur
nish sufficient number of cars to
meet the output during the anthracite
coal strike.

To Cure Sucking Cows.

There are many plans for breaking
self-sucking cows OF the habit. but
some of them are complex, while with
others the animal soon learns how to
get the better of any device which Is
attached to her. There Is one appll-
ance. however, which seems to work
to perfection, and it is made and APP
piled in the following manner: The
usual halter Is placed on the head Of
the COW and ring is fastened in it
Just under her neck. Then a strap or
It strong rope is placed about her body
Just behind her foreegs. From this
strap or rope another strap is run,
having at the end a crupper such as is
used on horses This is placed in the
proper position under her tail. Then
II pole is secured sufficiently long to
reach nearly to the middle Of her body
to a joint just beneath the ring fast
ened in the halter. A hoe is bored

Flavor and Color of Exgs.

The effect of different feeding stuffs
on the color of the egg yolks and on
the flavor of the eggs was also studi d.
not less than eight different kinds Of
grains being fed, as well as scrap
beef. In many cases favoring mat
tiers such as celery OIL sassafras oil,
etc. were also mixed with the food
Green food was given In the form Of
mangolds and sugar beet, which the
fowls readily ate. Quite contrary to
expectations. the flavor Of the eggs
was not noticeably affected by any Of
the rations or flavoring materials en-
ployed. The different rations, how
ever, very clearly affected the color Of
the yolks. When the ration consisted
OF wheat, oats, or white corn, either
fed alone or in combination with each
other. the yolks We're so light colored
that the eggs would be quite insult
able for any high class or fancy trade
On the other hand the feeding Of vel
low corn gave the yolks that rich vel
low color so much desired for the best
markets.

school built by the people of the tenth
district of Knox County, Tennessee,
with the help of the General Educa-
ton Board. which has contributed
5000 toward the establishment of the
school. The purpose is to make it an
educational center for the community,
not only for the children, but for the
grown people as well. The board Of
trustees has just completed building
which has cost about $500. The
school has 1919 acres of land. On this
will be built a home for the principal
of the school. with garden. barn. etc.
This will be as nearly as possible an
ideal country home, a model home for
the community Two or three acres
will be planted in shrubbery, or laid
out in walks. drives, etc. The remain.
der will be divided into plots for
fruits. berries and the crops best suit
ed to this nmmunty. This is not for
the purpose of experiment, but for the
purpose of demonstrating what has
and can he done with the various
crops. In addition to this there will
be shop work and such other things
as boys and girls in the country should
know
