decided to postpone further attempts
to raise the submarine until their

The most optimistic of the naval Of

reasonable chance of any Of the sub

The tackle with which the rescue
ships are equipped is said to be hardly
adequate for emergency work of this
kind. Need of diving suits for deep
water was apparent, officers said, and
the big dredger, they pointed out, was
SO unwieldy that much difficulty was
being experienced in manipulating the
cable cradle with which it is hoped to
secure firm grip on the submarine.

BIG WHEAT YIELD ON
N0TRE DAME FARM
Average Is More Than 33 Bushels To
the Acre-Iand Has Been
Improved.

Four thousand bushels OF wheat
from 12O acres, or an average of
33 13 bushels to the acre, has just
been threshed by Brother Leo of the
Notre Dame farm. The average yield
for the state of Indiana is IA bushels.
That 33 Is bushels can be raised
in st. Joseph county might therefore
come as a surprise. But it seems that
St Joseph county land can do still
better. On 20 acres of the 12O men,
toned, Brother Leo raised an average
Of 39.4 bushels, the rest of the land
averaging PAS.
The reason for the difference is that
the 20 acres have been treated scien-
tihcally and brought up to high state
Of productivity. while treatment of the
so acres producing the lower average
has just begun. Only few years ago,
it is said about the university, wheat
yields were not sufficient 10 pay the
cost of the labor alone required for
their production.
