Fort Dodge, April 2S.-Leaping from

seriously injured.
At a late hour as Officer Winters
was patrolling Dead Mans" alley, he
was astonished to see something
which resembled ghost dash thru a
window in the third story of the build
ing occupied as rooming quarters on
First avenue south and Seventh street.
Upon examination, Winters found
that it was man who was uncon-
scious and had probably committed
the deed while in a nightmare.
He was at once taken to the police
station where medical aid was sum-
moned and after he had again gained
consciousness, he gave his name as J..
w. Milstead and said that he was a
railroad contractor and put in the
grade thru Gypsum hollow for the Fort

The physician found upon thor
ough examination that Milstead was
practically uninured, altho he had
fallen a distance of about thirty feet
and had alighted upon the frozen
ground below.
1t was very cold Monday evening,
and if he had not been discovered at
once, exposure would doubtless have
caused his death.
Milstead had just recently been in
the hospital and he said that he
thought the white caps, as he called
the doctors and nurses, We're going to
kill him for his money. Today he is
roaming the streets Of Fort Dodge

his hands and being shaken up a lit

He is a man of about forty years
and is unmarried. Fort Dodge has
been his home the past five years and
he has many friends in this city.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, April 2S-Iowa should
grow more wheat of the winter varie-
ty. The Patten bull campaign in wheat
and the consequent attention shown
the grain market has revived interest
in this crop among the farmers in this
section.
Formerly good amount Of spring
wheat was grown in Iowa. But the
acreage has decreased steadily. Two
reasons are assigned for this by E. A.
Fields. That spring wheat is an un-
certain crop. and that corn pays better.
The Iowa average production per acre
the land grows older the yield grows
less. In fact the only reason why
spring wheat is grown at present is
because of the necessity of rotation of
crops.
AS the contract wheat, such as is
alone considered in such deals as Pat
tens, is either No. l northern, which is
spring wheat, or No. 2 hard winter, the
local wheat produced was not of con-
tract grade, and the dropping off of
local production, would have little eff
feet in making the cornering of the
wheat market easier.
Winter wheat acreage, on the other
hand, is reported by grain men as hav-
ing Increased considerably in north
western Iowa and across the river The
yield has been as high as thirty BUSH
els an acre making an income of as
much as $25 or $50 an acre. Some of the
winter wheat has graded No. 2 and is
therefore deliverable on contracts.
Plymouth and Sioux counties are
given by the government crop figures
as the only wheat counties in the state.
Iowa being generally given to the pro-
duction of corn. The total production
of the world as given by the govern
ment figures was 3,11S.200OOO bushels
which, with the expectation, is lower
than the total for any year of seven
At the same time, it Is pointed out by
grain dealers who feel that the farmers
should give more attention to wheat
production, the demand has increased
steadily owing to the increase in pop
ulation, the requirement of the people
for better food and the new demand
coming from oriental and other coun-
tries not using wheat until of recent
years.
