CROP ESTIMATOR
IS TOASTED
MAGAZINE HIGHLY COMPLI
TENTS MINNEAPOLIS EXPERT
Story Of ii. V. Jones' First Expert
ence as Judge of Yield of Grow
ing Grain and His Rise to Fame
Thereby Is Graphically Told
Value of His Reports.

The March number of Success Maya
zine contains a sketch of III. V. Jones
as successful crop estimator. After
speaking of the Importance to the
railroads, merchants, manufacturers
and business men generally of fairly
accurate knowledge of how the crops
are coming on before they are har-
vested, the writer of the sketch says:
during the last few seasons a private
estimator has sprung into prominence
because of the remarkable accuracy
of his forecasts Of the wheat crops
and his opinions are now more highly
valued by some of the leading railway
men, bankers and capitalists of the
country than those of the govern
ment, with it's 100000 correspondents.
This man is I'll. V. Jones of Mime
apolis. Jones was the commercial
editor of The Minneapolis Journal
when, in 1900, a drought in the north :
west seriously damaged the prospects
of the spring wheat crop. A wild
speculation in Minneapolis and Chic
ago was the result. The farmers, to
recoup their losses from the drought,
made heavy purchases of wheat
options in the markets, and, from
Sc cents in May, wheat advanced "a
cents bushel, to 80 cents, in June,
and the spectators thought it would
sell away above dollar. The crop in
the ''three establishments and
the Dakotas which had been 16O,-
100000 bushels the previous season,
was estimated, at first, at 100000, 200
bushels, then at 9O,OOO,O0O bushels,
Ind in June the estimate had fallen to
$4,000, 900 bushels.
How He Commenced.
The Journal sent Jones out thru
the three states to find whether or
not there was any wheat left in the
fields, The crop reporter travelled up
and down Minnesota and thru the
Dakotas, at times by train, but more
often in a wagon Or afoot. AS day
after day went by and saw more and
more of the wheat country, the more
he became convinced that q good
deal more wheat would be harvested

MINNESOTA AS
GOOD EXAMPLE
How a Race Meet Can Be Sue
cessful Without Books
or Booze.

..Cynics who have been proclaimins that
{ race meeting could be made to pay without the
betting adjunct will have to change their dole
full tune when they read this says writer
in the st. Louis Republic. "As matter, Of
fact, one OF the most successful light-harness
meetings held in the United States last year
was given at the Hamline track located between
st. Paul and Minneapolis, without betting, and,
furthermore. liquor sold on the grounds.
The meeting was the feature of the Minnesota
state fair. which has just issued report
( showing that the paid admissions one day aggre-
gated $73, 900.
THE state fair has surplus of 100000 in
Its treasury. Seventy-fve per cent Of those who
visited the Minnesota state fair spent the after
moons at the racetrack stand, which shows that
racing without betting can be made sufficiently
attractive to interest large crowds, notwlth-
standing all talk to the contrary. The fact that
only 1900 of the attendance on the biggest day
of the Minnesota state fair We're out-of-town
persons shows that 65. 900 city folks patronized
the show and went to the track knowing that
; there would be betting.
Monroe Salisbury, the well-known light
harness driver and trainer, said recently that
the future Of racing of all kinds in this coun-
try rested with the fairs, little and big, which
are held everywhere Nearly every city, coun-
ty and state fair has its racetrack. OF course
there is considerable hypocrisy displayed by per-
sons who attend fairs. Ostensibly, they so
there to see the big pumpkins but in reality
they want to see the races. If not, why do
they hang over the fences surrounding the
/ race tracks, sweltering for hours in the heat
and dust, Just to catch glimpse OF the horses
contesting for supremacy? The first grand cir
cult track to supplement it's racing program with
fair will do more to promote the interest OF

Chicago, March 2.-After having the game
cinched in the first half last night at Bartlett
gymnasium the University of Chicago basketball
team lost out finally to Minnesota by the close
score Of 81 to 20. At the end of the first period
the figures stood II to 8 In favor of the maroons,
but the latter went to sleep in the last half and
allowed the gophers to play circles around them.
Chicago showed splendid flashes of team work
in the initial half, and with Schommer the life
of the squad, at his post, it looked as tho
Minnesota was going to get what was coming
to It. In the second half however Chicago
threw away its brilliant chances and it was all
over. 81 .r-.a 80 ~.
McKeag starred for Chicago with seven field
goals and five free throws. Schommer could not
connect with more than two from the field For
the visitors, Captain McRae and G. Brown We're
the best. The former made seven free throws,
some OF which looked pretty big as the time for
the pistol shot drew nigh, while Brown was there
with six field goals.
