Sawyer Farmer Has Splendid Success


J. F. Booth, the Sawyer wheat king,
who raised 62 acres of Marquis wheat
this season that averaged 81 bushels
per acre, was in the city Tuesday. Mr.,
Booth informs the Independent that on
1856 ac1es, he raised over 5000 bushels
of grain this season. His fife wheat
averaged over 80 bushels per care. For
several years past Mr.. Booth has rails
ed beans on an extensive scale but this
year the bean crop was failure, ow-
ing to the early frosts. Last year he
harvested 365 bushels Of the Boston
favorites that brot him above $500
per bushel. This year he was offered
$4OO, but had none for sale. He con-
siders beans a profitable crop to raise,
taking one year with another. He
would not advise a farmer to raise
more acres than he can cultivate
thoroly, as beans are crop requiring
considerable attention.

RS Cause for Action Against Won

which caused the United States gov

withdrawal Of Capt. Boyd-Ed and
Capt. Franz Won Papen, respectively
naval and military attaches Of the
embassy here.
In the communication, which is be-
lteved to have reached the Berlin
foreign office today, Mr.. Lansing is
understood to have stated that the
naval and military activities of the at
taches constituted their principal Of
lenses. 1t is said that there was no
discussion of facts relating to the
4, reasons for the state departments re-
quest nor any disclosure of the de-
partment's information.
Whether Germany expected a dis
cussion Of the facts has not been
made known. Officials are waiting
| with interest to see whether the Ber-
lin foreign office will be satisfied with
the stating of the broad general rea-
sons. The opinion seemed to prevail
that Germany might, with the rea-
sons before it, instruct the ambassa-
dor to send the attaches away without
further delay. In some quarters, how
ever it was thought another COM
munication might come from Berlin
Secretary Lansing declined to com.
ment upon the subject for publication
today and the German embassy also
was reticent.
