ON THE TRAIL OF

Field Experts Watch Flight Of the

Salt Lake City. July To keep

the department of agriculture will
increase its corps OF experts in Utah.
Harry Smith is coming from Wyo-

laboratory; Professor c. n. Ainslee
has returned from Arizona, where he
went few weeks ago to show farm
ers how to poison grasshoppers; and
Il. G. Titus, state entomologist at Lo-
gan, has returned from Harvard.
The field men will be spread over
the country to watch the weevil. C.

CROP CONDITIONS ARE
CONSIDERABLY BETTER
From the Herald.Republican.)

(From the Herald.Republican.)
New York, July cit rained on the
corn and cotton fields and the stock
market recovered today, while grain
and cotton declined. The movement
OF the previous day was exactly re-
yersed. Losses in corn ranged from
&c to &c bushel. in wheat about ]
l-2c bushel, and in cotton about
$3.50 bale, while gains in stocks
were from one to nearly three points
In the standard issues. The close was
strong at nearly the highest prices
of the day, and with firm under
tone that indicated support from the
best quarters.
Rains that fell Wednesday night
were worth hundreds of millions of
dollars TO the country. While they
do not insure bumper corn crop,
they do make impossible a disaster
in corn such as was feared. The plant
was in such shape that actual dam
age was being suffered every day.
About the worst corn crop that can
be considered for this year now Is
a minimum of $500, 100000 bushels,
and there IL still the possibility Of
5000, 100000 bushels and even more,
for the acreage is much larger than
last year, Condition in the cotton
fields are such as to justify expecta.
ton of more than 100000 bales.
The oats crop is estimated at about
l50,000,00O bushels less than last
year, and the hay crop is bad, but
wheat promises to break all records.
The railroads are thus insured sur

ficent tonnage to earn their dividends,
with something over to pay for i'm
provements.
While there may be other crop
scares through July and August, 1t
must be remembered that any disas-
ter now Is out of the question. Under
such circumstances the feeling OF
confidence in the security market has
returned and It is now possible to
look forward to great Improvement,
both in prices of stocks and in gen
eral business.

REFUSED 5000 AND
$500 PER ACRE
Webster County Land as Well as
Hamilton County Land, is

Land owners in this vicinity are
indeed fortunate that they did not
sell their land when Col. Young
ruthlessly knocked ten dollars an
acre from its value, but those who
wanted to buy made a serious mis-
take by not purchasing at that
time. Just listen to this from the
Fort Dodge Messenger:
Time was when Webster county
land could be bought for a song
but time is when $500 and 5000
an acre is not considered enough
for it by prosperous Webster coun-
ty farmers. Such prices were re-

farm land north of the city. Berg

who wouldn't take 5000 for a farm

YOUNG MAN ATTEMPTS
TO TAKE HIS LIFE
Ole Fetland of Radcliffe Takes Pois-
on and Then Hangs Himself
With a Chain.

Ole Fetland, young man living
near Radcliffe, attempted suicide In
one Of the business places In that
town Thursday evening by taking
poison. Not having any success In
tnat way. he tried hanging himself
with chain with the same result
as the first attempt.
Thursday evening Mr.. Fetland
walked into one of the stores in
Radcliffe where there was a crowd
Of young men and displaying a
box Of tablets said: 81 have taken
three of these and they ought to
make me sleep for some time" He
went from there down into the
basement Of the building and moth
Ing more was thought of his re.
mark until one of the boys in the
store heard peculiar sound and
Immediately descended to the base
ment to find the scource OF the
noise. On reaching the bottom of
the stairs he was Mortified to see the
young man hanging within about a
foot of the floor by chain to one
CT the connections of the furnace.
The young man was released at
once and medical aid called. He
was found to be in a very serious
condition and had not aid arrived
at the moment 1t did, the would
be suicide would have been success
ful in his attempt. Upon examina-
tion the tablets carried by the
young man were found to be poison
and 1t is considered remarkable
that II any of them We're taken by
him that he is still alive,
No cause for this strange and un-
usual action is given. but 1t is
thought that some unknown trouble
had rendered the boy mentally un-
balanced for a short time. However
he seems to be In the best OF spirits
after his failure to kill himself and
has evidently recovered from his at.
tack Of dependency
