Des Moines, Aug 9.-The extension
department at Ames and the state
council of defense will unite efforts to
encourage more general seeding of
winter wheat in Iowa this fall. The
goal fixed by the extension department,
under the direction OF r. K. Bliss. IS
ten acres per farm for each of the 216,-
600 farms in the state.
The extension department already
has secured sufficient pledges of seed
to insure good seed. For many weeks
the department has been in CORE
spondence with winter wheat growers
in Iowa, and now has the necessary
seed in sight.
The state defense council is now
sending out 100000 cards to farmers,
in which the following questions as to
winter wheat are asked: Acres grown
this year? Amount Of seed? Variety?
Number of acres to be seeded this
fall?
Campaign at State Fair.
A big program will be put on in the
interest of this campaign at the Iowa
state fair on Monday, Aug. -. Other
patriotic questions will be discussed at
this meeting. County crop agents.
members of the county councils Of de-
tense, farmers and others interested in
the production and conservation OF
foodstuffs are TO be present. Governor
Harding will Ue 0ns &C the principal
speakers. ]. F. Deems OF Burlington.
is in charge of the state council OF
defense campaign on wheat growing.
The wheat which did not winter-kill
has matured a splendid crop, the re-
ports indicate. 1t is Of excellent quail
ity, and. therefore, suitable for seed.
I'VE already have sufficient good
seed wheat in sight to supply the needs
of the state for the fall planting" said
r. K. Bliss in discussing the fall wheat
campaign. If every farm in the state
would seed at least ten acres, it would
mean a big increase in our wheat crop
With favorable weather for fall seed
ing it is probable that there will be
a big winter wheat acreage put in.

BLACK ROCKS IN
INITIAL BATTLE
Famous Semi-Pro Team Will
Meet Anodes at Anaconda
in Two Games.

The Black Rocks, who for years have
had the leading semi-pro baseball team
in the state. are certain to enter the field
again this season. This announcement
has been made by both Manager Hudloff
and Captain Cary. The news is welcomed
by the local fans as well as many In tho
various parts of the state who have
watched the work of the local players in
the past.
Despite the backward spring and the
unreasonable weather Captain Cary has
had q number of the men out during the
past two weeks and they are now round
Ing into fair shape. The team IL COM
posed OF men working at the Black Rock
mine and their practice Is necessarily linn
ited TO the evening hours. With better
weather conditions the players hope to
round to and have an aggregation in the
field that will equal those of other days
when they brought the bacon home to
Butte
Manager Hudoff is busy arranging
schedule and in the course of week or
80 hopes TO have the summer campaign
mapped out. The opening gun of the
season will be fired tomorrow when the
Rocks leave for Anaconda to meet the
Anode team, fast semi-pro bunch that
will give them stiff battle. The game
Will be played at the Anaconda commons
tomorrow afternoon. starting at o'clock.
The same teams will meet again Sunday
afternoon. This battle will be held at the
Waehoe park and will be called at 3
o clock.
Several new men are now being tried
with the Black Rocks this season and
many of the old war horses who have
given up the game will be missed 1t is
no easy task to fill their places and the
lineup for the Anaconda games has not
been settled. However, each Of the new
men will have a chance to show his worth
and some of them in practice have given
indications of being worthy successors of
those whose shoes they hope TO fill.
Among the members of last years team
who will start tomorrow are Knight, Har-
mon, Brogan. Tucker, Pierce and Cary.
The names of the others who win be
taken along have not been announced by
the management
