WINTER WHEAT
SUCCESS IN IOWA
The Farmers in Northwestern

demonstrated this year. COPYRIGHT
and Jones, who farm what is general
ly known as the old Ashton farm, for
merly owned by Senator Yeomans,
two miles north of Onawa, raised 225
acres Of winter wheat that weighed
out 20 bushels per acre. Figuring
it at rs cents per bushel, 1t netted
them the e a sum of $21 per acre.
A. w. Mann, in the same locality,
had IT'S acres of winter wheat that
run from 20 to 80 bushels per acre.
John Murphy's lea the same place,
averaged % 1-3 bushels per acre.
lIr. Dugdale of Franklin raised 40
bushels of winter wheat per acre,
which sold for 95 cents a bushel-S30
per acre.
These are just samples and there
are many fields Of the same kind.
Nearly all the winter wheat averaged
from 20 to 80 bushels per acre, and
has proven to be the best paying
crop ever grown in recent years.
The heavy bottom lands seem to be
the best for winter wheat, and the
"gumbo" can't be beat for fall wheat.
The crop has proven to be such a
mortgage litter hat the acreage sown
bids fair to- be doubled this fall.
Many farmers who rented have rear
lied from SIS to $12 per acre for the
use of their ground.
William Primmer, an enterprising
young farmer of SaliX, has just sold
his crop of winter whet for $4,000.
He had in 300 acres, which produced
4,450 bushels. The cost of raising
and marketing this crop was about
5000, including $1,000 for rent and
500 for seed. Mr.. Primmer is pleas
ed with his profit of $1,000 and will
SOW a large acreage again this fall.

TREASON GWEN
FOR BOYCOTT
WI Ting Fang, Former Am
bassador, Discusses
Matter.
TREATY IS NOT SATISFACTORY
Claims That Exclusion Regulations
Are Too Rigid-Philippines Said to
Be Natural Field for Chinese In
dustrY-R Regrets the Boycott.

Picking, Aug. 10.-Wu Ting Fang,
formerly Chinese minister at Wash
ington, and 10Y vice president Of
the board of foreign affairs, inter-
viewed by The Associated Press yes
terday, said that the existing regula-
tons for the exclusion of Chinese
from the United States were unsat-
isfactory from the Chinese stand
point, and hence it was desired that
they should be modified by the new
convention. The Chinese, he said,
agreed to the exclusion Of coolies, and
this point presented no difficulty, but
the existing regulations are hard, he
said with severity on other classes.
He instanced the cases of merchants
travelling for pleasure, students and
others, who, while nominally admis-
sible to the United States, were for
ced to undergo examinations which,
though possibly necessary, were gen.
orally rendered very Objectionable IN
account of the manner in which the
regulations were enforced.
"A superior Chinaman arriving at
San Francisco, for example," said
Mr.. WI, "is detained by the auth
critics while his credentials are being
examined, and this detention fire.
~quently involves %consorting with a
low class of coolies in a common
shed. He is unable to communicate
with friends and is subjected to in
nnn yanipnnpc onI in1iopifioC RI which
Americans would refuse to submit.
Moreover, he is not allowed to pro-
tect his interests and if the immigra-
ton authorities decide against him
there is no possibility of appeal. That
these grievances are we'll founded is
demonstrated by the necessity for
President Roosevelt's stringent or
der that courtesy be shown the Chin
csc by the immigration officials under
pain of dismissal. There have been
numberless instances of harsh treat
ment which the Americans them
selves have been forced to admit"
Mr.. WI admitted that European
immigrants were not allowed repres-
entation by lawyers or others during
their examinations, but he rejected
this argument because, he said the
Chinese in other respects were given
tratInent entirely different from that
accorded the Europeans.
The Chinese government, he said,
agreed to the exclusion of coolies,
but it urged as the main points of a
new convention that the better class
es of Chinese be treated on an equal
footing with other aliens, with the
right to retain counsel and the right
of appeal if necessary, and the ad-
mission of coolies to Hawaii, which
he regarded as of the utmost import
ance.
