RECORD HARVESTING FEArs.
Wheat From the Field to Oven in
Thirty-seven Minutes.

The harvest this year being some
what late one. it is hardly likely that
the season will be productive or new
records in any kind of harvesting feats.
At any rate, those concerned will have
to be pretty nimble If they succeed IN
breaking a record established during
last years harvest operations
This was achieved at Blockley, In the
AGRICULTURAL county of Worcester, IN the
early days of last September. A farm
er and miller co-operated with the OBJ
feet of ascertainlng how quickly grow
ing wheat could be converted into
bread.
They first of all had to cut the wheat
which was actually growing in the
field then 1t had to be properly thresh-
ed and after that ground in the mill
Then it was ready for bread-making;
and that the experiment was on a more
than ample scale is proved by the fact
that a dozen loaves and small batch
cake were duly and perfectly baked.
Incredible as it may seem, within
half an hour and seven minutes of the
time when the wheat was growing in
the field it was converted into good,
wholesome bread
A season or two before a fairly
smart harvesting feat was performed
an a Suffolk parish. A local farmer
carted a field of wheat in the morning.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-09-19

threshed it in the afternoon. and in
the evening sold and delivered it to a
local miller.
The latter forthwith ran a portion
of the grain through his mill, and,
within "a hours of the wheat being
taken from the field in which it was
grown, had sold the flour that had
been manufactured from it. That
wettest and most unfavorable ever
known, SO this was probably a record
in quick work at the time.
But in justice to Lincolnshire it
must be stated that this great wheat
growing county has some smart har-
vesting achievements to its credit. So
far back as six seasons ago wheat at
Thorney was cut, threshed and sold
the same day, fetching % shillings per
quarter.
At Stowgate, too, the same season.
some wheat was cut, sent to the mill,
made into flour and baked into bread,
all in the course of a single day. Gen
orally speaking, however, the wheat
is much better when it is allowed to
stand in the field for two or three days
though, of course, if the object is to
establish a record in dealing with the
grain, this is impossible.
Worcestershire has yet another har-
vesting record to boast of. It seems
that the inhabitants or Powick, a pa
rish adjacent to the city of Worcester,
have the right of grazing over extern
sive common lands in the district
every third year.
But during a recent summer, when
the privilege should have been theirs,
they were deprived of it by the action
of two tenant occupiers In the inter-
vening years in planting and growing
a crop of wheat and oats on the land.
Knowing how strongly their action
was resented by the parishioners, the
offending twain deemed discretion the
better part of valour, and cut their
crops late at night, carting the grain
away in vehicles with muffled wheels
while the villagers were all asleep.
When the latter awoke in the morn
ing they realized how the midnight
harvesting had thwarted them, but all
they could do was to forward a strong
protest to Lord Coventry and Earl
Beauchamp against the misuse of the
common. 1t was the first time that
midnight harvesting had taken place
in the county.-Tit Bits.

bring wildly before the audience the
experiences through which he passed
and the social, political and religious
conditions as he found them in Eng
land Scotland and ireland. Those
who have had an opportunity to visit
with him since his return have found
these accounts intensely interesting.
At the close of the lecture an in
formal reception will be held to give
Topeka people a chance to welcome
him back.
For a week and a half the churches,
the Young Peoples societies and the
Sunday schools have been selling
tickets to this lecture and the reports

advance sale. It is expected that the
Auditorium will be we'll filled with a

w1CHIrA,s CITY PRINTING.
The Eagle Given Two Years Contract
at Cheaper Rate.

Wichita, Sept. 1e.-The city printing
has been disposed of, the contract being
let to the Eagle for the next two years
at one and three-tenths cents per line.
The Beacon's bid was one and four
tenths cents.
The new contract amounts to about
25 per cent of the price formerly paid.
By reason of the reduced price, the Off
cial printing of Wichita will cost here
after less than $500 per year. Under
the prices formerly paid to the Eagle,
wichita would have paid in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 for it's printing this
wear. AS the printing is constantly in
creasing, it would doubtless have cost cost
a the old prices even more than $4,000
next year.

BY A REVOLVER BULLET.
Bert NerIins. an ArmourdaIe saloon
keeper, Kills Mack Rogers.

Armourdale. Kan, Sept. 19.-Mack
Rogers, a carpenter about As years old
who lived in Armourda1e, was shot and
killed by Bert Nerling, a saloonkeeper,
about IL o'clock last night. The shoot
ing occurred back of NerIing's saloon
at 1925 Main street
Rogers was engaged in a quarrel
with persons in the rear of Rosa
Cline's rooming house at 1927 Main
street. Nerling in his saloon heard the
crash of breaking glass and Selling his
revolver, ran to the rear of his place.
He saw Rogers and shouted:
"What're you doing to my prop
erty?"
Rogers threw a bottle at Nerling
and the latter fired his revolver. The
bullet entered Rogers chest. He fell
and died minute or two later.
Bert Nerling refused to make a
statement except that he fired in self
defense and that he did not know the
man he shot.
According to the womens state
ments the quarrel arose between them
selves. Several witnesses said that
Rosa Cline fired two shots toward the
second story of 1926 Main street and
that Rogers was with her when Ner-
ling appeared and fired with a revolver
drawn from his pocket.

Much Time Will Be Saved in Building

Washington, Sept. 19.-Rear Admiral
George A. Converse, late chief of the
bureau of navigation and now at the
head of the naval board of construction.
has returned after a few months vaca-
ton in his Vermont home. When con-
gress two years ago called for detail
ed plans of the projected great 20, 900
ton battleship Of the Delaware class it
marked a new departure in legislative
treatment of departmental estimates
Tor new ships. In anticipation of a like
demand at the approaching session of
congress, it is probable that the navy
department will have the construction
board prepare in advance all of the
details of new ships to be planned, that
would probably be required by the two
committees, thus obviating the years
delay that occurred in the case of the
Delaware.

Dietz Dam Dispute Has Been Settled

Winter, Wis, Sept. 19.-The famous
Dietz dam dispute has been settled. 1t
is stated that an agreement has been
made between the contending parties
and that the millions of feet of logs
that have long been held up by the in
trepid defender of Cameron dam on
the Thornapple river, near here, will be
moved at once. The terms of settle
ment are not given.
The trouble arose over a dispute as
to the title of a tract of land cover
ing the Cameron dam. Both the Chip
pewa Log and Boom company and
John Dietz claimed title to the land
and Dietz defended the property
aaginst all corners. Three sheriffs fail
ed to capture Dietz who had gained
national fame for his bold act in de-
flying the authorities.
