Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Aug. l0.-The yield per
acre from a field of oats on the j.
Russell farm, north Of this city, is
more than fifty bushels. The grain
from this thirty-one acre field has
just been threshed, and the machine
measure shows the total yield to be
1865 bushels. The actual measure
always runs over the machine meas
ure. This is certainly ample proof
that the cat crop, in this part of the
state at least, is of the bumper kind.
The better than fifty bushels per acre
yield on this field is considered by the
farmers to be almost phenomenal.

VENEZUELA AGAIN REFUSES.
Declines to Arbitrate Matters Claim
ed to Have Been Judicially Decided.


Venezuela has again declined to arbi
trate the questions of controversy which
have been pending for some time between
the Castro administration and the United
States government. This time the refusal
is simply made specific with respect to
each of the questions separately and diff
fers from the last refusal to arbitrate
only in that the refusal then was made
as to all questions en- bloc.
1t is explained at the State Department
that the presentation by Minister Russell
of each of the five points in dispute, with
a request for arbitration. leaves no foun-
dation for a future representation by
Venezuela to the effect that she was not
asked to arbitrate any of the questions
separately That makes it plain that
diplomacy can accomplish nothing further
toward arbitrating these controversies.
This state of affairs will be made appar-
ent to the United States when il receives
the contents of the files OF the State De-
parmen respecting VeneZuela-informatlo
for which it asked last week.
In asking arbitration of the differences
the Washington government left open the
question of the machinery of arbitration
to be employed. This government. !. is
said would have been glad to have had
the controversies go to The Hague. Fall
ing that. it is declared that almost any
other duly appointed tribunal would have
been acceptable.
The controversies include the claims of
the Oronoco Steamship Company, the New
York and Rermudez Asphalt Company.
and what is known as the Critchfield
case.
Venezuea's refusal to arbitrate these
cases is based on the ground that they
have already been judicially determined
