Last year the wheat yield in Wayne
county was about IS per cent of a nor
NAL crop. The wheat now being cut
yas sown last September but the
farmers. as a rule. put in fewer acres
OF wheat than they had the previous
year. An explanation for this is Of
fered by Mr.. Ratliff. He says that
when the wheat was soYn last fall the
big increase in the market price.
caused by the abnormal European de-
mand, had not occurred and the farm
ers had been getting an un satisfac-
tory price for their grain. Another
cause for the reduction in wheat acre
age this year, he says. was the fact
that at planting time last year many
farmers were changing the tenants of
their properties and wheat sowing was
somewhat neglected.
Covers Entire County.
Il have been nearly over the county
inspecting wheat and have found the
farmers considerably discouraged"
Mr. Ratliff stated. They were expect
ing an awfully good crop and they
knew that they could sell their grain
for not less than $1.0O a bushel with
the prospects of decided advance In
the market price by late fall or early
winter.
In figuring a forty per cent loss to
our wheat crop this year I credit the
Hession fly with being responsible for
at last Is per cent, the unfavorable
weather of the late spring with 20
per cent and the joint worm with
per cent. The Hessian fly pest has
been worse in this county this year
than ever before. l believe that many
farmers will have to do this year, as
was done twenty years ago, II they
want to get their full wheat yield;
that is use their hay rakes on the clay
land fields.
I'm examining the wheat fields of
the thinner clay soil and of the black
soil find that more straw has fallen

In examining the difference be-
tween the smooth head and the beard.

Wherever a wheat crop has followed

ed in field adjoining a field where
wheat was grown last year. the fallen
strow is most noticeable.
"An examination of heads shows
that as rule the heads of the smooth
variety are not SO well filled as those
of the bearded variety. Quite an
amount of baroness is discovered in
the tips of both varieties but there is
more baroness in the smooth variety.
This is singular for In the past the
smooth wheat has been the most pro.
ductive.
Il have found that most fallen straw
is due to the Hessian fly. The joint
worm. the newest wheat pest In this
locality. has been active. and destruc-
tive this year. 1t attacks the walls
between the stalk joints and distorts
the growth. causing the stalk end to
bend"

BERLIN, June 29-Another great
victory for the Germans all along the

by the German war office.
The Austro-German army OF Gen.
Won Linsingen which captured Halicz
and swept across the Dniester river,
has driven the Russians across the
Gnita Lipa river all the way from
Halicz to Sirle Jow which lies on the
Gnita Lipa, 30 miles southeast Of Lem
berg. The Russians are officially re-
ported to be evacuating their positions
upon the Tanew river and lower San.
Northeast OF Lemberg. the Russian
forces that fell back upon the river
Bug were enabled to withstand the
crushing drive OF the Austro-German
forces under Gen. Won Mackensen and
crossed the stream in full retreat, the
war office states.
The Russians made a stand at Mos
tywielkie. % miles northeast OF Lem
berg, but the giant guns Of the Teu-
tonic allies which had been rushed for
ward with incredible speed soon
smashed. the Russian defenses and
Austro-German troops again swept
forward. 1t was at this point the Rus
sian line was bent back and the re-
treat across the Bug began.
According to the war office the
Russians are less than 20 miles inside
Of northeastern Galicia. In the western
theatre of war the French attack
around Arras have been repulsed. The
Germans have resumed the lombard
