\ conservative estimate of the val
ue of the wheat crop in Eastern Colo
RADIO for the present year is Sc, ESQ.,
900. based on 250.00O acres sown, a
yield of 20 bushels per acre and 81
per bushel for the product. The
above figures are all placed at the
minimum, as 1t is likely that acrea ge.
average yield and price per bushel
are low, While the exceptional yield
is due largely this year to the heavy
rainfall, it is fact that the farmers
of Eastern Colorado are taking as
few chances as possible on the posi-
bility of dry year. They are build
ing reservoirs and preparing to irri-
gate by pumping from the underflow
in many sections. so that when the
rainfall is lax they may still be able

Yet next morning the Yellow came
out with a great front-page story,
wild and blear-eyed, to the effect
that one of the most desperate mur-
derers in the country had been posi-
lively identified and arrested here
and that already a reward of 81 900
was nailed down by the suspecting
youth and the police.
1t didn't matter if the negro was
innocent and had been given his lib

out, Just so. for the time being, a
sensational story was to be had. Just
another rank fake-that is all.
From all accounts, the youth
worked fearfully on his Imagination.

make the negro out as a much-sought

However This Permitted Therough
Cultivation in CottOa Belt.
Memphis. June 25.--In its weekly
cotton crop report, The Commercial
Appeal will say tomorrow.
Rainfall ~ the cotton, belt through
out the month of July has been light.
This has been favorable TO the extent
that 1t has permitted thorough culti-
walton, but now that such cultivation
rain Is becoming general. Outside Of
Texas, there has as yet been no acute
suffering, but II Is very desirable that
general rains should fall within the
coming week.
The plant has not made rapid growth
and is still small everywhere except
In Oklahoma, but IL is stocky and
would readily respond to the stimula-
ton of moisture. Cultivation is being
rapidly completed.
In Texas, reports covering the week
to Saturday night at 8 o'clock show
that abundant rains fell In southern
and western parts of the State, and
that the crop, although 1t had suffered
severely. was much benefited. In CEN
trail and northern counties, some rains
fell with great benefit to the cotton
belt, but many districts In these Sec
lions had very light showers or no
rain at all and are still dry. It is
characteristic of Central Texas, as
elsewhere In the belt, that rains were
spotted and local. although in in
stances heavy.
New cotton has begun to move in
Southern Texas, and picking will be-
gin this week as far north as Navasota
Southern Georgia also expects to be-
gin picking this week.
The most marked gains during the
week were made In Alabama. Georgia
and the Carolinas, where the crop in
many instances now makes better
promise than was at one time thought
possible,

the fishing banks and was on her re-

blow, which the captain described as
the worst he ever encountered during
his long experience at sea.
The crew assembled on deck in an
effort to save the schooner which was
submerged most of the time, and 1t was
then that the men were lost. The
master says that one big sea covered
his vessel entirely. Five of the men
were carried off the deck but by a
miracle another sea washed two aboard
and the schooner righted herself at the

masts and remaining aboard. All day
