hcially stated that the flood damage to
growing wheat was not Of such severi.
ty IS to affect the general prospect Of
the crop for the state as whole. This
statement is fully verified by the pres
ent crop report. There has been but
slight area Of the original acreage
abandoned. The prospect for heavy
yield per acre Is quite optimistic. In
many Of the heavier wheat producing
counties correspondents estimate that
the yield will be far above an average
production. The state average produc-
tion is estimated at 81 per cent COM
parel with normal yield. On cores
ponding date, 1912, the prospect was
estimated at 45 per cent. The area re.
manning for harvest Is estimated at
574,603 acres, In excess OF the area har-
vested in 1912. One year ago reverse
conditions were true. The report then
showed that A per cent OF the original
area seeded had been abandoned. Pre-.
diction was made that the harvest
would result In one Of the lowest pro
ductions In the states history. The
final threshing showed state average
production per acre Of but ten bushels.
The total state production was less
than eleven million bushels. With the
present splendid condition Of the wheat
crop. the 1913 harvest should be well
up to an average.
Weather conditions fore part of May
were unfavorable to oats growth. The
present prospect is estimated at SO pei

The present area is approximately $50,

BEAR STORY
With The Proof. Told By
Former Nj. Vernon Man
In An Interesting Letter To
Readers Of The Banner

Gore Bay, Ontario. June s, 1913.
About ~ months ago ! wrote you
an account of my first bear hunt on
the Mandoulin Island, and although
1t was true in every particular, and
you being kind enough to publish
same, do not know Just how 1t was
received by my old friends in Mt.
Vernon It was copied by the Gore
Bay Recorder. do not know how It
was received on Mandoulin Island
found the people have no respect
for a man who would acknowledge
backing away from a bear and !
have had to listen to such remarks
as "the man who ran from bear"
Now ever since that have been
looking for chance to square my.
self. I knew I must kill a large bear
and the scar o. battle must show
that he was facing me in mortal com.
bat.
But at last the deed Is done.
came on Mr.. Bruin at close quarters
and was only 10 feet from him when
q lucky shot put him out In the first
round, and at once found myself
q man of some standing In the com
munity, and now I see bright future
before me. However. l have NOT
tested this standing at the bank, bu,
presume It is o. X.
There Is one thing more wish tt
speak OF. Some Of us great hunters
have been accused of drinking ant
seeing things. Now I can bring wit
nesses to prove that never drink be
tween meals and at time even thu
meals are very light.
After writing the above yesterday
I felt that I had told all that wa,
necessary to tell about the bear fight
but last night during severe thun
derstorm could not sleep and al
the time could see the shadow,
form of that bear demanding justice
at my hands, SO I made q solemn
vow II was spared until mornin
would make a clean breast Of tn
whole affair. It was not fair figh
The bear was sadly handicapped.

weigh about so pounds and the ira

The chain was fastened from tn
trap to the center Of the pole. Th

and pole and at times would carr
them clear OF the ground for 10 rod
In order to throw anyone of tn
trail, and found where he had bee
fast among trees great many time

TO AssalI The Workmen's

The first petition for assailing a
progressive act OF the last session Of
the legislature has made It's appear
ance in Mt. Vernon. its aim being tn

workmen's compensation law.
The petition made its appearance
Monday afternoon and is now being

As might be readily supposed. the
Equity" association IL an organiza.

sentatives Of liability insurance com.
panies, who have heretofore reaped a
rich harvest Off OF employers OF labor,
and who now see under the operation
of the workmen's compensation law
that their business will be very ma
tcrialiy reduced.
SO the liability insurance men, Oper'
ating under the high.sounding name of
Equity Association, start a campaign
to have the workmen's compensation
law referred to the people for vote
under the referendum provision of the
constitution with the hope that with
the numerous questions on which the
people will be called ON to vote at the
election next November that there
win be enough befuddling to enable {
