Delta District Crops
In Good Condition

On Wednesday of this week John
Markley, of Notrh Delta, received a
check for s742.90 for the potatoes rails
ed on three and one-fifth acres.
The potatoes were weighed on the
scales at the Independent lumber yard
and the figures were given this paper
by Mr.. Hauser, who did the weighing
and saw the check.
Seven hundred and forty dollars is
pretty good piece of money to get
from three acres of land in a single
season and out of field crop at that.
The crop Of early potatoes is now
moving to market in lively manner
and the pay for them is putting consid-
erable money in circulation. Ship
ments will continue active through this
month, after which a few weeks will
elapse before the late varieties begin
to harvest.
Other Crops.
Oats harvesting is just beginning to
get under way. The second cutting of
alfalfa has been in progress for the
past ten days. Much has been cut and
quite lot has gone into stack. The
period of haying has been little inter
fered with by rain. though a local
shower has done little wetting here
and there. Wheat cutting and wheat

plished. and the yield is reported an

WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM. EVERYWHERE
Ad WoIgast and Charlie White Are
Choice of Their Neighbors.

If Ad Wolgast does not suffer an
injury between now and Friday night
there will be some mix-up when he
meets Charlie White in Milwaukee on
that date.
That ''if'' is put in because Ad has
an unfortunate habit of breaking a
limb or rib or two just previous to
ringtime. This time, however, he
says all his machinery is in good con-
dition. .
White has chance to place him
self in the front rank of runners-up
in the lightweight division. A win
over Wolgast will entitle him to a
match with Rivers, Cross or Mandot.
WoIgast is not the fighter of his
championship days, but still possesses
ring sense, and is no soft proposition,
as White is likely to discover. The
result depends on whether Wolgast is
taking the Chicagoan seriously, or
hippodroming his training. He is not
liable to commit this error, as he
must realize that defeat will mean his
elimination from wind-ups Of classy
affairs. ..
Here in Chicago White is a 4o-to-e
favorite In Milwaukee the same
odds prevail, with Wolgast the

team, according to reports from Red
land, are dissatisfied with the Tinker
deal, and want it called off. Appar-
emily there is, no way out for them,
except for Tinker to refuse to go to
Brooklyn. .. .-. .-
Garry Hermann made an agree
ment with President Ebbets of the
Dodgers which is binding on the Red
club. The only condition was that
Tinker should agree to the deal. If
he refuses to play in Brooklyn then
the deal is off. ....
Ebbets says he will pay Tinker
$4,000 of his purchase price. Tinker
is attracted by the proposition, and
there is little doubt that he will &C
cept if the money is not of the stage
variety.
Therefore it seems that the direc-
tors can be displeased from now until
the end of time, without helping
themselves any, or giving the Cubs
a chance to nail Tinker.
Right now Joe is little interested
in baseball He is more occupied re-
covering from walloping he receiv-

Something startling may result,

manner, the fact that the players of

Just what the details in the case
are, have not been made known by
the base ball authorities who, 1t is be-
lieved are ready to turn searching
eyes on certain conditions that have
existed while the Keokuk club was
away. Something relative to hotel
quarters, treatment at the Red Cedar

in the main for the investigation
