champion Of the world. the title being
wrested from him by Jess Willard. tho
Kansas cowboy. the biggest man who
ever entered the prise ring.
Mondays fight probably has no par.

For 20 rounds johnson punched and
pounded Willard at will. but his blows
grew perceptibly less powerful as the
fight progressed, until at last he
seemed unable or unwilling 10 20 on.
johnson stopped leading, and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween tho two huge men was little
more than 4 series Of plastic poses OF
whito and black gladiator.
So Il was until the 26th round. when
willard got one Of his widely swinging
windmill right-hand smashes to John
sons heart. This was the beginning
Of tho end.
When tho round closed johnson sent
word 20 his wife that he was all in.
and told her TO start for homo. She
was on the way out and was passing
the ring In tho 26th round when
singing left to the body and a cy-
cionlc right TO the jaw caused johnson
TO crumple on the floor Of the ring,
where he lay partly outside the ropes
until tho referee counted 10 and held
up willard's hand In token Of his new
ly-won laurels.

In addition TO the score awarded TO
each variety In the uses heretofore
mentioned, the bulletin furnishes in
formation on the seasonal value Of the
varieties, on the relative value OF
some of the varieties for each Of the
purposes named, and the correlation Of
values for sauce and for jelly pur-
poses. Much other useful information
is also contained in the bulletin, such
as giving recipes for crusts, cooking
directions. amount of sweetening and

81 Wheat bv FaH 10 Hope.

Baker-With two large contracts
for wheat in Umatilla county at dol
lar bushel reported, farmers in this
vicinity are holding their grain at this
price and expect to get it at harvest
time. Some think Il will 60 as high
as last winter. while some are even
more optimistic. Reports from all
parts Of Baker and Grant counties
show that there is larger acreage
than ever and with the rains of the
last week the yield an acre promises
to be greater than any yet known.
Many Of the farmers are plowing up
hay fields and planting grain, the prin-
cipal crop Of which is wheat. There
were only few cases Of damage by
frost during the winter. because of
light SHOWS. The early rains cause
belief that despite the small amount OF
snow in the hills there will be enough
rain to make grain and hay raisers in
dependent Of irrigation. The outlook
for rye and barley, at war prices. is
bright. Hay raisers also expect big
crops with prices better than last year.
