TEACHER HIS AFFINITY
Kansan's Wife Declares SIovgard
NegIects Her for Another.

Atchison, Kan, Sept. "a special
dispatch from Council Bluffs, Ia, TIC
the Globe, says:
Alleging that her husband, Rev.
Thale H. Skovgard, pastor of st.
Johns English Lutheran church, hav-
ing among it's members some of the
most prominent families of the city,
has for more than year been enam-
ored of some woman to such an extent
that he has become infatuated with
her and neglected the plaintiff. Mrs.
Skovgard has began suit for divorce
and alimony. Extreme cruelty is also
charged.
''Rumors associating the name of the
preacher with a teacher in the city
schools have been persistent for one
year Recently the teacher resigned
and is now on the Pacific coast. Friends
of the pastor declare that the affair is
merely platonic and refuse to believe
any wrong of Rev. Mr.. Skovgard.'
Thale Skovgard attended Midland
college and the Western Theological
seminary here several years ago and
was the best football player Midland
ever developed. His home was then in
Greenleaf, Kan.
He was married to a Miss Hartman,
a nurse, who attended him in Leav-
enworth hospital where he was treated
for a nervous trouble

SEES GOOD CROPS

Corn in Central West Best In
Years, He Says.
BIG KAFFIR CROP HERE
Kansas Yield VIII Be Double
the Average.
Three Thousand SilOS Built
This Year in Kansas.

Prof. H. NJ Cottrell, agricultural COM
missioner of the Rock Island believes
that corn. from Minnesota to Louisiana
and from Illinois to the Rocky Noun
tains will yield the greatest crop in
years. Early frost will mean much soft
corn.
The report follows:
Corn from Minnesota to Louisiana
and from Illinois to the Rocky noun
tains will make the highest yield for
years. The quality depends on the
weather during September. 1t will re-
quire warm, dry weather for thirty
days to mature the corn in Northern
Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. If Sep
TENDER should be wet, or there should
be early frostS, there will be an enor-
nous quantity of soft corn in this ter
ritory. Early corn in Nebraska, Kansas
and Oklahoma has been damaged by hot
winds, while the late corn is all right TO
date Corn in north half of Missouri
viii. average above normal. Eastern
Colorado will have a good crop. In Ar
kansas and Louisiana corn is nearly
matured. Heavy yield in Louisiana
Arkansas-45 bushels per acre on up
lands, so bushels per acre on bottoms.
Twice the usual average of Kafir IN
Kansas and probable yield of 5OOOO,OOo
bushels Kafir and Milo in Oklahoma,
equal in feeding value to forty-fve mill
hon. bushels of corn.
Wheat estimated for Kansas S5,000,0O0
to 100, 600, 600 bushels, Nebraska 50, 900
bushels, Oklahoma 100000 bushels.
Wheat yielding heavy in Iowa, South
Dakota and Minnesota Increased acre
age of oats in most states; yield high.
Rain has damaged grain in shock and
stack in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
South Dakota, Missouri, Western kan
sas and Colorado and delayed thresh-
ing. Marketing slow on account rain
delaying threshing and farmers holding
for higher prices.
Pastures generally good. Ten thous-
and siIoS have been built this summer
in Iowa; 5000 in Kansas and a large
number in Oklahoma. Extreme short
age of beef cattle in every state in
which the Rock Island Lines operate.
Fair number of hogs in Illinois and

now, there are more dollars worth
of nuts shipped from the state per
year than there are of oranges. This
statement is meant to include all
varieties of nuts, although the Eng

AS to planting and cultivating,
English walnut trees seem to require
no particular soil, but should not be
set out where it is low and wet. The
trees should be planted 40 to so feet
apart each way. A cultivated crop,
such as corn or potatoes, with small
fruit trees for filters, can be made
to yield an income for the brief pc
Rod, comparatively, before the wal
nuts begin to bear. The pruning
should be done between fall and
spring, only such branches as would
interfere with cultivation being re-
moved.
In planting on the lawn the ground
about the base Of the tree should be
kept spaded for three feet in cir
conference, and after the first year
some Well-rotted manure should be
worked into the soil around the tree.
No cuhiyating should be done after
the first of August, as it would en-
courage further growth, and from
then until winter the annual growth
