PROSPECTS
ARE GOOD
Wheat and Other Small Grains
at Experimental Farm Pro-
mise Satisfactory Yields
lFrom Saturday, pallyD

" ANAH hhNAA NfAF -
Prospects for satisfactory yields in
wheat and other small grains at the
United States experimental farm
here are good this year, according
to II, j. C. Umbarger, plant industry
expert stationed at the farm. Con-
ditions now are greatly better than
they we're at this time last year, and,
although the men at the farm do not
care to make predictions, the chances
are decidedly favorable Of a success
full yield on all crops OF which such
results had been expected,
Last year" commented Mr., UNI
barger, this morning, in speaking OF
weather conditions, 1--WE were sit
ting around the stove out on the
farm. Those late freezes hurt the
grains even worse than the dry wea-
Their did"
This year the farm is carrying on
experiments practically the same as
last year, so that results over sew
eral years and under varying condi-
tlons can be secured, Last year over
900 varieties OF wheat were tried and
the total number OF experiments in
these through methods OF soil cul-
ture and treatment reached nearly
5000. The number this year will
be about the same. Many OF these
varieties and tests are not expected
TO be successful but are carried on
for their comparative value.
A. II. Leidigh, the former director
at the farm, has resigned from the
service to 90 into business for him
SELF and the new director, j. f.
Fox, is now in charge at the farm.
Mr.. Leidigh will remain with the
department for some time yet in
connection with the recording OF his
work here His bulletin OF work In
the Panhandle was to have been pub
lished this spring but the department
Is short On funds for publication and
It is probable that the Panhandle
bulletin will not appear now before
fall.

ley, son OF Mrs. P. A. Worley, which
is to BIO conducted tomorrow after
noon at 3 O'Clock from the family
residence On Van Buren, street. Rev,

Burt worley as the young man was
more Familiarity known TO his friends
here who have known him from boy
hood, died night before last at
Thatcher, Colo, whore he has been

and Gold told the story.
Last night the teams played for
the first time IN a match game un-
der girls rules" which restricted
tho play OF members Of the team and
kept the centers especially from fig
uring definitely In the scoring But
the team from Canadian which the
girls here will meet next week In
slsts on that style Of play and the
teams are using girls rules to get
used to the change Both sides were
guilty OF frequent fouling on ac-
count Of the restrictions In regard
to bounds and for running with tho
ball but the umpire was lenient with
all the players.
The feature OF the play last night
was the work OF May Smith at the
Black and Gold basket Six OF the
eight field goals scored by the Black
and Gold are credited to her and
many OF these she made by star
throws. Alma SHILLING, who scored
the two field goals for the Cherry
and Silver, although slow in taking
a chance at the basket Is remark
ably accurate, She Is handicapped
by having against her a much taller
girl, Iva Byrum, whose guarding
was next TO May Smiths work, the
prettiest feature OF the contest. Ruth
Nelson, the ather basket for the
Black and Gold, appeared in the
score column with two field goals,
one OF which ia the second half was
clean throw on a quick chance,
Tie lineup was as follows:
Black and Gold---Jennie Lee He'd
rick, center; May Smith and Ruth
Nelson, basket; Mary smiser and Iva
Byrum, guards.
Cherry and slyer--Ruth Dewitt,
center; Alma Shilling and Annalee
RiX, basket; Louise Parr and Ruth
Blumehsrt, guards,
A considerable number OF spec
tators saw the game last night and
the interest shown proved their good
opinion OF the contest.

fidence in future prices, and II is
generally believed that the present
weakness Is only temporary. As u.s.

In rolling up his camp bed in Its

wounded by a revolver which he had

Surgeons were at once called TO
the house and the boy has been Civ

ranged through muscles and It is
thought that II did not strike any
vital organ or blood vessel. In a
wound Of the kind there is always
some danger Of poisoning but at

The condition OF the wohnd now
points TO an early and complete re-

HADLEY is
A VISITOR
Attorney General Of Missouri
on Vacation Looks al
Amarillo
lrromI saturday,s paIlyl

Herbert s. Hadley. attorney gen
eral Of Missouri, who has become a
figure OF national note through the
fearless and energetic performance
OF the duties OF his office, is dis
tlnguished visitor who made quiet
call in Amarillo today. Mr.. Hadley
arrived last night from Fort Worth
Judge o. II. Nelson, whose daugh-
ter, and Mrs. Hadley we're classmates
and close friends found tho visitor
and through the Judge, he met few
other Amarillo men. But as his mis-
sion to the southwest now is one Tor
rest and not for business or for dis
tinctlon, he declined any formal
round OF entertainment.
Mr.. Hadley is still a young man
but the stress OF the campaign when
he has carried On against maletac-
tors in and out OF office In his state
has told upon him and his doctors
threatened him with a breakdown
unless he Immediately called halt
and took a recess somewhere, His
physiclans suggested several places
IN the Southwest and the Panhandle
was among these so II may be that
Mr.. Hadley will come back this way
for more extended stay.
To Not Candidate.
Enthusiastic believers in Hadley
in Missouri have already started a
campaign which grew Of itself to
make the attorney general the snc-
cessor OF Governor Folk who is not
candidate for reelection. 1t is
possible that the attorney general
would have allowed this campaign
10 have taken its course and would
have accepted the nomination and
later the election had II not been
for this recent interference by his
physicians. As result OF their ad'
vice, however, he has definitely
withdrawn from the race and will
not be candidate for any office at
the next election.
While in Amarillo today, Mr. Had
ley, with Judge Nelson and several
other guests, was taken for a short
spin in III. B. sanborn's handsome
tally-ho behind the famous four-in-
hand team OF bays. But the rarity
OF rarities, foggy day in the Pan
handle which has made itself felt
today cut the drive short.
Mr. TIad!ey left this afternoon for
Roswell where he expects to spend
several days. From there he will
