ing from 10 to 25 bushels per
acre. Winter wheat and bar
ley show good quality and aver
age from 20 to 35 bushels per

dition.

Frank Tamisea of Missouri
Valley, who was nominated by
the democratic judicial district
convention a week ago yester-
day as the party candidate for
district judge, announced yes
terday by long distance tele-
phone that he would not accept
the nomination. There had
been considerable doubt before
as to his acceptance, but upon
the occasion of his visit to
Council Bluffs following the
convention he left the impress
sion that he would not decline.
The reason for the declina-
tion is stated to be the condi-
tion of his private law practice
which is such as to demand his
attention and preclude his par
ticipati N, to any great extent,
in the eampaign. Coupled with
this is Inc fact that he was
once before candidate for dis

we are certainly glad to have
them with us.
