WINTER WHEAT SLUMP
PRODUCTION ESTIMATED AT
ABOUT 100000 900 BUSHELS
LESS THAN LAST YEAR
CONDITION Is BAD.

Washington, April S.-A total pro
duction of 495, 900 bushels of
winter wheat was forecast today by
the department Of agriculture, bas-
ing it's estimate on the condition of
the crop April |, and an assumption
of abandonment Of acreage and aver
age influences on the crop to harvest.
That compares with 655,045,0 600
bushels, the estimated production in
1915 and 6S4.990,O00 bushels in
1914.
Condition of winter wheat on April
! was 1873 per cent of a normal
against SIS last year, 95.6 in 1914,
and S7.3 the average for the last ten
years. There was a decrease in con
dition from December l to April /,
of "a points compared with an aver
age decline OF 3.5 points between
those dates in the last ten years.
The department of agriculture. in
a statement analysing the report
said
THE small production forecast is
due partly to a reduction Of about IL
per cent from the acreage of the pre-
ceding year and to a low condition of
growth, namely 7.2 per cent OF nor-
NAL, which is lower than the condi-
ton on April l in any year since
1904; it is 10 per cent poorer than
the ten year average on April l..
The cause of the low condition
was a wet cold fall, causing poor seed
beds and poor start for wintering.
Much of the crop vas own late part
ly from necessity of the season and
partly to avoid Hessian fly.
THE Hessian fly is reported pres
ent and active in many sections of the
southern part of the belt.
Climatic conditions were harder
on late than on early seeded wheat.
The winter snow covering was light
er than usual, often lacking; sleet
damaged fields bare of snow, consid-
cradle grain on lowlands was destroy
ed by flooding and the injuring from
freezing and thawing was greater
than usual. The southern parts of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and por-
lions of Missouri were worst affect
ed. The relatively best sections are
the most eastern and far western
states. The season is late and the
real extent of damage is problemat-
ical in the northern portion of the
belt"

not been robust for a couple of years

try when a boy of Is years. He To-
Gated in New York state and in 1864

vived by four daughters and four
sons, as follows: Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith and Mrs. Mary Berther, both
of this city; Mrs. Theresa Bagley,
who resides on a farm i'm the southern
part of Lake county; Mrs. Eva Ryan,
who has been sojourning in Colorado
Springs, Colo, but who still calls
Madison her home; Henry j. Miller,
of Madison; Charles A. Miller. of
Montrose; John V. Miller, of Mckay,
Idaho, and Paul Miller, residing on a
farm near Winfred. Twenty-three
grandchildren and four great grand
children also survive.
Mr.. Miller represented Lake county
in the last territorial legislature, and
was a charter member of Madison
Odd Fellows lodge No. 90, in which
order he took an active part right up
until the time of his last illness.
The funeral will be held at 2
O'Clock Monday afternoon in the
German Baptist church. The service
will be conducted by Rev. Mr.. Pfeif-
fer, the pastor of the church. and the

C~ARELESSNESS SCORED
PERSON WHO HANDLES KERO-
SENE AND GASOLINE CARE
LESSLY, B~LAMEWORTHY.

Bookings, April ga person
who is careless in the use of the high
ly inflammable oils, kerosene and
gasoline, is just as blameworthy as
the person who is careless with load
ed firearms" says Prof. Robertson
Cook, of the State college engineer
ing department. Prof. Cook suggests
the following simple rules 10 prevent
nearly all explosions or fires caused
by kerosene or gasoline-accidents in
which usually some one is badly, per
haps fatally, burned
First. Do not bring or allow ex-
posed gasoline or anything covered
with gasoline into a room where
there is a lighted stove or lamp. A
spark of any kind may be enough 10
explode the gasoline vapor formed.
Second. Use the greatest care in
rubbing any articles soaked in gaso-
line or in cleaning with gasoline as
the friction may cause an electric
spark which will ignite the gasoline.
Third. If gasoline stoves or
lights are used, the odor of gasoline
in the room should be danger signal
not 10 be neglected n all lights and
fires should be put out at once and
not relighted until the trouble has
been located and remedied.
Fourth. Never put gasoline in a
can unless such "a is painted red
and plainly marked Gasoline Do
not put kerosene into gasoline cans.
Fifth. Do not pour oil into a
wood or coal stove whether the stove
is hot or cold.
Sixth. DO not fill the lamp or
can full of oil, but leave a small air
space at the top to allow for eX-
pansion.
I'm case an oil fire does start do
not pour OF water. but cover with
earth, flour or sand. If a persons
clothing takes fire do not wait to get
water to dash on same, but wrap in
stantly in the nearest coat, rug or
blanket and thus smother the fire.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April Special: Fol
lowing up their capture of the village
of Haucourt, in the Avocourt-Bethin-
court salient northwest of Verdun,
the Germans have shifted the line Of
their attack slightly to the east, driv-
ing against the lines between Bethin-
court and Ch%attancourt and penetrat-
ing a first line trench there. In the
vicinity of Dead Mans Hill Paris de-
clares that the Germans have been
driven by a counter attack from the
greater part of a recently captured
position.
East of the Meuse the French are
continuing their nibbling tactics, and
report continued progress in German
communicating trenches, southwest
of Fort Douaumont.
The Germans give signs of initial
ing an offensive on the eastern
front.
In the Caucasus campaign the Rus
slams are making continued progress
along the upper Tchurko, in Turkish
Armenia, driving the Turks west
ward.
The Spanish ambassador at Berlin
has been instructed by the cabinet to
ask from Germany an explanation Of
the sinking of the Spanish steamer
Vigo and a definition of the German
submarine policy with regard to the
rights of neutrals.
London announces that the British
steamer Symia, a Peninsular and Or
iental liner of 5,844 tons, has been
sunk with the loss of eleven member
OF the Asiatic crew. Dispatches last
night carried unyerified reports of
the sinking with the suggestion that
the Symia, supposed to be in the gov
eminent service, might have been the
transport reported in previous mes
sages to have been sunk off the
Greek coast.

TRACK team
UNIVERSITY SQUAD OF WHICH A
MADISON BOY Is A MEMBER.

Vermillion, April S.-One of the
best balanced track squads that the
University of South Dakota has ever
turned out is being whipped into
shape for the seasons meets by Coach
McKusick. From thirty to forty men
are out regularly for practice and
there are a goodly number of likely
candidates among them, the greatest
lack being in veteran material.
The track season begins on May G
with the dual meet at Canton be-
tween the University and State col
lege. On the Wednesday following,
May 10, the squad is at M~orningside.
May IL is the date of the interstate
int~erscholastic meet at Vermillion.
On May 20 Yankton meets the uni
versity. The season closes with the
Minnesota-Dakota conference meet at
Huron on May 1921, in which par
ticipate Hamline, Carleton, st. Olaf
and McAlester colleges of Minnesota;
the University of North Dakota,
jamestown and State colleges of
North Dakota, and Huron. Mitchell.
Yankton, State college and the Uni
versity of South Dakota.
Coach McKusick is confident of a
good showing from the Coyote squad
this year through consistent, wheel
horse work in most of the events
rather than stellar stunts in a few.
OF the veterans, Capt. Mead, vi
dal, Hengel. Quigley and McCay form
a strong nucleus. Mead is the best
quarter miller in the state. He won
the event last year in both state and
tristate meets and is in better form
this year. Last year in the same
meets he captured third place in the
half mile.
Quigley, last years captain, with a
record of % flat in the 220. holds
the premier place in that event in
the state. He Is almost as strong in
the 100 and a consistent point win
In the low hurdles. Quigley has

yet to appear in his track suit, but he
is expected out on the cinders next
week.
Roland Young, a sophomore, got
5 u points for South Dakota last year
in the state meet. He is showing fine
form in the low hurdles and is a good
high and broad jumper. Hoy and
klebsch are getting their seasons
stride in the high hurdles.
One of the developments of this
seasons practice is the work of Vidal
in the shot put. He has already
pushed the lead beyond the state rec
ord in practice and is good for 38 to
80 feet. Vidal's best event has been
the high jump and he is a sure point
winner in this i'm the meets of the
season.
