eREENE's WHEAT YIELD BEATEN
William Steward Secures Over Forty
Bushels Per Acre-Big Barley Crop.

William Steward Secures Over Forty
Bushels Per Acre-Big Barley Crop.
William Steward, whose extensive
farm is located just north of the city,
has completed threstling operations.
and has the record of Mr.. Merritt
Greene for large yield of winter
wheat beaten by a big margin. Mr..
Steward was not anticipating an ex-
traordinary yield from his wheat field
until after he threshed the grain. He
then measured the field and found that
it had grown a fraction over forty
bushels OF excellent wheat per acre.
The seed was sown on rich land and
was drilled in, but the soil was pre-
pared iii the customary manner. About
one acre of the land was too rich and
the wheat went down before cutting,
otherwise the showing would have
been even better.
Mr.. Stewards oats and barley crops
were also extraordinarily large. A
field of thirty-five acres of barley
threshed out fifty-six bushels per
acre and weighed out sixty bushels.
His oats threshed out fftysix BUSH
els and weighed out close to sixty
bushels.
Mr.. Steward says. there are only
two things to prevent one Of the
largest crops Of corn ever brown in
the state. One danger is from wind
storms, which would break the stalks
because of their height and fullness
of sap, and the other is an early frost.

Standing Of the Clubs.

The Brownies ard Waterloo should be

Looping Waterloo gave Oskalooso the
Brownies would now be outside the
flag again. Ottumwa, led by Mr..
Schaub who always was a bitter pill
for the locals, ran up against the fav-
orites yesterday, and mangled them
shamefully to 0.
Failure 10 soak the ball made the
local athletes look very poorly, and
Mr.. Bockewitz's wildness, and the Wis
itors' lucky hitting together with a
bad break in the ninth inning, helped
the visitors to rub in the second shut
out in two days. Exclusive Of the
large number Of passes he issued, Mr..
Bockewitz was most effective, for the
only clean hit the visitors acquired
came just at the right time and scored
their first run. Later. Spencer and
Luke butted into each other in right.
trying to pull down Schaub's fly, and
the two who were on bases came rum
ming home. Up to the seventh inning
Ottumwa had secured but one suspic-
ious looking hit, but as almost every
one whom Bockewitz passed got to
second some way or other, it was a
lead-pipa cinch hit was going to
break out at just the wrong time to
queer the locals. That was exactly
what happened. He walked Curtis one
of the three times he passed him, in
the seventh. Rathbun. sacrificed, and
Horath hit to right, Curtis dragging
home the first tally After one had
gone out in the ninth, Curtis walked
again. Rathburn hit slow bounder
past Bockewitz and beat it out. Horath
went out and Schaub cracked a f1ysto
right. Both Spencer and Luke charged
after it and came together just as each
one thought he had the ball. Neither
got it.
So tight did Schaub hold them that
the locals never really had chance TO
score. AS a sort of eleventh hour re-
pentance Tor mis-spent afternoon the
locals rose up and got couple of safe
swats in the ninth, which, with Hor-
ath's tumble of Luke's grounder, load
ed the bases. One was out at the time
and the visitors cut off all chancesssby
a fast double.
schaub was steady and effective lat
all times, and he had the locals bif-
faloed from the getaway. His team
mates gave him gilt-edged support and
their defense was far better than the
locals.
Only 256 were on hand to see the
Brownies downed, and the place GER
