Red's Race Dope

Strongest among the northern con tenders in the Phoenix to Prescott motorcycle race, July f, will be Harry Smith, an Indian rider. Smith not only knows the road as he knows his own back yard, but possesses the swiftest wheeled thing in the Mile High City.
 Shorty Bedding is another speed artist from Prescott who will come down to see the Phoenix Prescott road from racers point Of view Shorty will be remembered as the successful rider of the twin Indian which set the first recognition track record of 1904 on the state fair oval in 1912.
 Before a race everybody figures on the time. but nobody pays as much attention to this little thing as the competitors. Take, for instance, the following widely divergent views of some of our best little race stars:
 Ellie Wilson-"A little under four hours"
 l.. Boido-"Close to five hours. And I am sure going to get there Grieg-"Four hours F. H. Sellner-"Three hours and a half-easy."
 Crandall-Echo.
 Wilson and Boido leave Tuesday on a trial trip to Prescott. They have received introductory letters to the prominent Yavapai Motorcycle club members. and will take a couple of whirls at the Loop track.
 
 Crandall and Sellner are going over the full course but once, and that during the race.
 The whole local bunch is going to Hot Springs Junction and interme- diate points almost daily. Wilson has made it to the Junction in l hour and 55 minutes but this was not done for speed.
 Jake Theobald. q Prescott rider now located in Phoenix, has arranged | to tune Jean Spears famous Jeffer- son for the race Theobald will ride | il over the PhoeniX-Prescott course with d first t-aid outfit, and then will enter the Loop race. He IS per fectly familiar with the course, and stands good show of winning Riders who partook of the delights oi | the PhoeniX-to-E1 Florence sociabillty 1 run will remember Theobald as that wild Excelsior rider who went into the drink near Chandler.

CROP REPORT.

Columbia, Mo-, Sept. 4.-As t
fruit grower in south Missouri
with 1900 barrels of fine apples fol
sale, | wrote to AZ apple buyers
all members of the Intern ational
Apple Shippers Association. All
refused to quote me prices or offer
to buy (excepting varieties now
moving to Market and all took
occasion to say that war" was the
cause of a weak demand for apples.
Several write me that prices are
lower than they had before known
them, and several named ridicu.
lousy low prices at which unlim-
tied quantities Of apples from New
York and other distant districts,
of whose prices they have pre-
sumed me to be ignorant of, could
be bought.
They are at it again. This time
the bluff is war! war! war!
Every article of food has raised
in price and since every article of
food completes against the other
on the market, apples must remain
high in price as long as food stuffs
do. Every sane man who has
given any thought to it knows
that this country's food stuffs will
drain to Europe as long as the
war lasts. and longer. Apple buy
ers and commission firms know it.,
but they will lie to you just as
they have always lied to you.
This Is not hot.air.
This years crop is less by 8 per
cent than that of two years ago,
and greater by only 10 per cent
than that of last year. Less than
8 per cent of the apples of this
country have been exported in the
past,
What are your apples worth?

USE OF TILE ~ MISSOURI

Paying Proposition.

There is no doubt that for the we
sloughs or says found in the north
east Missouri region, the use OF tile Ii
| +, very paying proposition. On the
| evel prairie where the water passes
, the tile more slowly, it is necessary
10 lay the tile from four to six rods
apart for satisfactory work, thus great
ly increasing the cost. Where the
land is very level and where the TIL
are properly put in, the thing Of this
land will pay. On the prairie land
that drains naturally. whether or not
it will pay will depend upon the crops
grown and the particular character OF
the land.
/ 1'ne profitable thing of land in any
Csc depends upon how much 1t needs
tie tie work. Usually on land that
grows fair crops without tile, on all
except The wettest years, such as Is
the case with most Of the level prairie
CT northeast Missouri, tho use of tile
is delayed until the value of the land
increases. AS lands become higher in
va,Ne, the rather poorly drained land
So. as at disadvantage and drama &c
bsromes economical Such is already
the case on a great deal of this level
prairie.
Where the land is very level and it
Is ,i.tficult to secure a proper fall, it
Is usually necessary to have the
sya1eS established by means OF an en-
slneer's level. 1t is highly important
that proper grades be established and
