REPORTS OF THRESH|NG
CONFIRM ALL FORECASTS
Wheat Likely to Prove Best Yield
ing and Best Paying Grain Crop
Harvested This Fall

Talking about the crop of Olga and
Fremont townships while in the city
last Friday, Cashier T. Cregan of the
First State Bank of Olga stated that
last week closed with at least 80 per
cent of the wheat crop of that section
of the county cut. He placed the
percentage of oats and barley some
what lower, owing to late grain not
being all harvested. Wheat will give
yield running from 18 to rs bushels
to the acre, very little of the crop
being down to the lower figure, while
he knows of wheat in both Olga and
Fremont townships that will give
yield of not less that 40 bushels when
threshed. The barley crop is esti-
mated at 35 to so bushels and on the
whole is not as strong crop in yield
as the wheat. Oats show heavier
stand than seen there in years, lots of
fields will run from rs bushels an
acre upwards and it will really be
impossible to give conservative esti
mate but when threshed the figures
are pretty sure to prove record break
ers in number of instances.

While some of the threshing reports
that are coming in are of the big kind
and they cannot be too big to be
acceptable-if they are only true,
there are others. Tuesday we heard
that John Leek, who is farming the
Yves Mahon place south of town
threshed 100 acres of oats which
yielded him $500 bushels. That
means that the yield was only 25
bushels to the acre, which isn't big
crop and not much OF paying crop,
especially when the price of oats on
the market is only 25 cents as it is
just now. This merely goes to show
that although you hear of the big
yields there are other fellows, perhaps
only mile or so away who have to
be satisfied with the small end of this
much talked of bumper crop and ii
may not be their fault exactly either.

Not Required to Have Single Freight
Car Equipped With Air Brakes.
UTILITIES COMMISSION REPORTS
Selectnnan Get Reply to Query Sent
To State Board-Appoint New Clerk
For observation-disclosures to Furnish
Teams For Clean-up Week.

According to information received
from the public utilities commission
the Connecticut company Is not violat-
ing any rule OF that body in hauling
freight cars from the tracks of the
steam railroad through the streets OF
the town to the plant OF the Hart and
Hutchinson company In New Britain.
The commission has advised the Sc
lectmen that the company has the
privilege of drawing one freight car
at time without using air brakes
and that there Is no law by which they
can be forced to discontinue the prac-
tice Of drawing freight through the
highways At least there Is no court
decision covering the point.
The information was given at tho
request of the selectmen who refuse
to get enthusiastic over the matter OF
using street for freight traffic, even
though the cars are hauled after mid
night The local board wrote to the
mmission asking for information
regarding the rule announced some
time ago concerning the operation of
freight cars not equipped with air
brakes on trolley lines.
The deep flanges on the wheels Of
the cars, it is claimed, had done con-
siderable damage to the highways and
the selectmen believe the practice
should be stopped The decision OF
the commissioners, however, does not
furnish a solution to the problem az
the company hauls but one car at a
time, making the use of hand brakes
permissible.
Town to Furnish Teams.
/ The selectmen have advised the
committee in charge of the cleanup
campaign to be held next week that
the town will furnish teams on Thurs
day and Friday to cart away rubbish
| that will be gathered up during the
crusade against dirst The teams will
cover the section Of the. town east Of
the railroad crossing on Thursday
and on Friday the western part of the
town will be attended to.
Property owners will put the rub
bish In barrels or boxes, leaving the
same on the curb in front of their
places, and the town cleanup squad
will cart t away to the dump.
The campaign will begin on Mon
!. day and the committee urges the peo-
Pile to make an early start In order
that they will be ready for the teams
on the dates selected for covering the
routes.

DO NOT USE ENOUGH
COTTONSEED MEAL
Southern Farmers Product Goes to
Europe, Where it is Used to Fat
ten Live Stock.

Clemson College, June 21.-The
Southern farmer has not yet learned
at in cottonseed meal he has one Of
the most economical and most valu-
able feeds for cattle He knows much
less of its feeding value tan does the
European farmer, who uses it very
extensively.
In an article on the cooperative cat
tie sales held in South Carolina this
spring by the extension division of
Clemson College, a writer Of the U. S.
department of agriculture concludes
as follows:
"At the present time products Of the
South are used in finishing not only
some of her own cattle but tie cattle
of all other parts of the United States
as we'll. In addition there is slipped
annually from the South to European
countries more than 100000 tons Of
cottonseed meal and cake. This ma
terial is shipped from this country be-
cause there is insufficient market for
it at home. One country in Europe
feeds annually an average of over
500 pounds of oil cake, chiefly cotton
seed cake, to each of the mature cattle
within that country. The people Of
this country know less of its feeding
value t. an these European farmers do,
A very large per cent of this material
could be used in the South for cattle
feeding purposes, if some successful
method of marketing the cattle of the
small farmers could be found.
''It is hoped that these sales Chose
conducted by Clemson college in this
State) will result in a general stimu-
lus to the cattle industry of that Sec
ton, since a great many farmers were
in attendance and all were very
enthusiastic over the outcome of the
sale. Such meetings and the kind Of
enthusiasm that was here evidenced
are sure to result in general improve
ment in the quality and methods en-
ployed in the feeding of the cattle,
as we'll as in better systems of mar
keting"
