THE REASON WHY.

Inc ManSI1elu NeWS says.
what caused Ferd Drumm to
slide from one of the best hitters in
the o. & p. to a nigh averageless
bingler Ferd/ himself explained at
the o. a. p. meeting at Cleveland
last Tuesday A couple of seasons
ago the Marion manager was
breaking up games right along, while
last year he was easy prey for the
clever twirlers.
My playing days are about ov-
err. said Ferd. My eyes have failed
wonderfully during the past year.
and the truth of the matter Is
can't see 'em coming any more. X
Is hard enough for left-hander to
meet the ball with anything like
regularity in league with II left
hand pitchers, and when mis- eyes
are poor, too, batter who stands
on the wrong side or the plate is
badly handicapped. My eyes were
so bad last season that was afraid
of a speedy pitcher like Schettler
and Castleton had me OIL his wagon
before / was up to the plate.
81 intend to manage from the
bench this year, unless there is a
change for the better i'm my eyes. I
hate to give up the game. Playing
ball is genuine pleasure with me,
and oh, how used to wish b be

WHEAT YIELD VERY SHORT
The Average is Reported to be
About One Half This Year.
ABUNDANCE or HAY AND CORN
Lack of Wheat is Made Up by the
Hay Crop and Promise Of a Large
Yield of Corn.

Mr.. W. w. Westphal. proprietor Of
the Valley Hotel, this city, and one Of
the most extensive wheat raisers in
Berkeley county, takes rather a
gloomy view of the present wheat OUT
look in this county.
In an interview Mr.. Westphal made
the prediction that the wheat this
year would no average more than u
bushels to the acre in Berkeley coun-
ty. or only half a crop. He said he
based his fol- ecast on the yield OF
some of the leading farmers of his
n~eighborhood who have threshed. to-
gether with information that he has
received from other sections of the
county, rather than on his own expert
ence because he has not yet threshed
any of his crop.
On his farm OF 475 acres. situated
six miles north of this city, Mr.. West
phal last year sowed $50 acres in
wheat and his crop yielded 2240 bush
els, or an average of IL bushels to the
acre. This year he had 100 acres out,
and he says that judging from the way
the wheat is turning out, his crop viii
not reach 1900 bushels, or less than
an average of u bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Westphal attributes this partial
.-.ur Of the wheat crop in this coun-
ty to the frost in June which also kill.
ed the peaches. An examination OF
the berry, he said, shows the wheat to
be light in weight and inferior in quail
ity, man of the heads being blighted
at the top and bottom. This condition,
of course, means a loss of thousands
| of dollars to the farmers of this sec
ton of the state.
But on the other hand a much more
hopeful view may be taken as regards
some other farm products. The corn
crop, for instance. holds out bright
promise Of great abundance, while the
hay crop, now about all made, is i'm
mense and is bringing a big price. In
fact one farmer said here today that
he was tired of looking at hay, having
made more than 125 tons this year.
SO that after all, the partial failure
of the wheat crop is perhaps compen-
stated by the abundance of other pro
ducts of the farm and garden in Berke-
ley county, and al will yet be well.
