WINTER WHEAT
Dry Fall May Preclude Possibility OF
= Record Crop.

Washington. April 8. Winter
wheat came through the freezing
months in excellent condition, grow
ing on the greatest acreage ever
planted in the history OF the country.
Prospects for q record crop probably
were blighted by the unusually dry
fall and scattering evidences of the
Hessian fly. which caused the condi-
tion to be only $50 per cent of a
normal in December.
During the winter the general on
dition improved one-half of / per
cent. as shown by the department of
agriculture canvass made April / and
announced today. The crop reporting
board. basing its estimate on the
April condition and the area planted
last fall. places the respective crop
production at $4,000 600 bushels.
This Is S9.000,0 900 bushels more than
was indicated by the condition in De
cember. The production will be in
creased or decreased, the board
pointed out, by conditions from April
/ TO the time OF harvest. A steady
imRrovement in the condition might
bring forth a crop closely approach
inc last years production OF 6S4.-
$4,000 bushels. which was a record.
In Kansas. Nebraska. Oklahoma.
Illinois and Missouri, the five winter
wheat producing states, and which
last year produced more than SIS per
cent OF the crop. the condition has
greatly improved since December.

cent better on April /.

UNDER ARREST
kranzberg Officials Charged with IL
legally Granting Liquor Licenses.

Springfield, April Frank Dale.
f. j. Geeting and Thomas f. Hughes,
the members of the town council of
Kranzberg, are under arrest and will
be given their preliminary examina-
ton on April Is on the charge OF
granting a liquor license contrary TO
law. II is the first time that this
offense, which is a misdemeanor, is
alleged to have been committed in
South Dakota.
The three town officers, with Ben
Loesal, the man to whom they grant
ed the saloon license. were arrested
on the instance of the South Dakota
Anti-Saloon league, which has claim-
ed that the town of Kranzberg is
within Eve miles OF the cts .;

Both Royal c. Johnson, former at
torney general and C. C. Caldwell
present incumbent of that office,
have ruled that the South Dakota
statute covering the "ive-mile limit
shall be construed to mean within a
radius of five miles. 1t is said that
the states attorney of Bon Homme
county, in which KranZberg is To-
Gated, advised the town board that
Kranzberg was over five miles away
from Springfield. using the measure
ment by square section corners. and
hence it was within their power to
grant saloon licenses.

WHAT THE BIRDS EAT
Department of Agriculture Completes
Preliminary Bird Census.

Philadelphia North American:
Lately the biologists in the depart
ment of agriculture completed a pre-
liminary bird census" OF the United
States. These experts know, from
examination of bird stomachs, Just
how many and what kind OF insects
and weed seeds various birds con
sumo. And basing their statement
on this knowledge. they say we
ought to have ten times our present
number OF birds in order to cope
successfully with the various plaques
which best a be eradicated by our
feathered protectors.
Says Frank M. Chapman. curator
of o~rnithclogy in the American Mu-
scum OF Natural History:
Birds digest their food so rapidly
that II Is difficult to estimate from
the contents of a birds stomach at a
given time how much 1t eats during
the day. The stomach OF a yellow
billed cuckoo shot at 6 o'clock In the
morning contained the partially di-
gested remains OF forty-three tent
caterpillars. but how many il would
have eaten before night no one can
say.
"E. II. Forbush. ornithoiogist Of
the board OF agriculture OF Massa-
chusetts, states that the stomachs Of
four chickadees contained 1.028 eggs
Of the cankerworm. The stomachs
of four other birds OF the same spe-
cies contained about 500 eggs and
105 female moths OF the canker-
worm The average number Of eggs
found in eighty OF these moths was
1876. and. as 1t Is estimated that q
chickadee may eat thirty female can-
l.erworm moths per day during the
twenty-six days when these moths
crawl up trees. it follows that in this
period each chickadee would destroy
168.75O eggs of this noxious insect.
Prof. Forbes. director OF the Illi-
nois State laboratory OF Natural His
tory, found It's larvae Of bibio-a ny
which In the larval stage feeds on

TWO SOCCER GAMES
RESULT IN TIE

Two very unusual games Of soccer
football were played at the Villas
grounds Tuesday afternoon. Both
games ended in tie score and the
score in both was the same, IL. Each
of the four teams which played scored
one goal during the afternoon. In the
first game the teams representing Villas
and San Jacinto in the Senior league,
Herald championship banner, put up "a
hard fast game Villas scored a goal
early in the game and IL looked as
though that team would win until near
ly the end of the game when Palmer
Boyd was able to score a point for Alta
Vista. From then on il was nip >and
tuck with neither team being able to
score. Alta Vista was greatly handi-
capped by the absence of captain Irving
Stevens, one of the best players in the
league. Had Irving been present it is
almost certain Alta Vista would have
won. Palmer Boyd, center for Alta
Vista, was easily the shining light of
this game. 1t was almost solely through
the great attack of Palmer that Alta
Vista was able to hold the game to tie.
In addition to doing some great block
ing and interfering Palmer scored Alta
Vistas lone point almost unaided. Paul
Bunsen and Abel BoudreauX both put
up a strong wing game for Alta Vista.
For the Villas team Guyler Magruder
was again the star Guyler's defensive
play was as good as Palmer Boyd's play
on the offence. Nothing got past Guyler
at halfback and on the lone score made
by Alta Vista Palmer Boyd brought the
ball in from the other side of the field.
When Palmer and Guyler came together
it was a case of an irresistible force
meeting an immOvable OBJECT Henry
Fleck at inner wing and Ray Lawrence
at halfback both put up a nice game.
The second game was in the Junior
league between AOy and Villas and as
in the previous game this game ended
with the score tied at one apiece. Both
teams scored during the first half in
this game. After that neither was able
to get the ball past the goal keeper.
Both the Junior goal keepers put up a
strong game on the derence while the
two centers showed. splendid offensive
game.

PIRATE BOWLERS
BEAT ATHLETICS
Braves and Tigers Split Even in Second
Match of Federal League Bowl
inr- Tuesday Night.

In the Federal league bowling at
the Cactus club alleys Tuesday night
the Pirates took three of the four points
from the tail end Athletics in the first
game, while the Braves and the leading
Tigers split even in the second, each
getting two points. The result of these
two matches enabled the Pirates to
climb up on even terms with the Tigers
who have been leading the league for
the greater part of the season.
The lone point scored by the Athletics
was in the first game and was almost
solely due to the fine bowling of Fen
ner. Had his team mates even ap-
preached his splendid bowling the Ath-
letics would have scored four points
instead of one. Fenner had high game
with 2O3 and high total with $50. His
total was 100 pins over the second man
on his team and more than 200 more
than the other man.
The scores in the second game were
more even than i'm the first koenig
had high game with 49, and BrownfieId
high total with 434 just four pins ahead
of KOenig. Tonight the Big league will
roll and a battle royal is expected as
the fast coming Berg team will hook
up with the leading Old Guards. The
Bergs viii bend every effort to bring
the Old Guards back to them while the
latter team is certain to put up a hard
fight to maintain their position on TOP
Of the heap, particularly since it only
gained the position during the past
week. on the form shown by both
teams during the past two weeks the
Berg team should win a majority of
the points.
