ing to Mr.. Hughes, who said there
would be more livestock in the state
than feed to take care of it. He
estimated the present value of the
crop about so per cent of what had
been expected.
A large part of the loss will be in
its commercial value, it was ex-
planned, because soft ear corn finds
little market One of the big dis
appointments of a killing is
that it interferes with plans to sub
stitute corn products for wheat -four

NORTHWEST YIELDS
TURN OUT BETTER
Federal Reserve Bank Says Reports
Show Usual Dry Year Surprise
in Yields

Crop yields in the Northwest gen.
orally are far greater than at first
expected.
This is the burden of the crop re-
port issued Monday by John II. Rich,
federal reserve agent for the Ninth
district.
Two months ago and one month
ago the reports we're that the yields
would be greatly diminished. Thresh-
ing reports have altered the opinions
then expressed, however.
The report in part follows:
LAS frequently happens in a dry
year, the final crop reports from the
Ninth federal reserve district are
proving to be somewhat more en-
couraging than might have been ex-
pected 80 days ago. There can be
no question about the prosperity of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and South OAK
Ota. Wisconsin and Minnesota are
harvesting crops that are as large
as any that have beer previously
produced. South Dakota will doubt
less show total production this year
that will be somewhat in excess of a
good average year in spite of the
damage that occurred in the central
and western portions of the state
during June and July. The eastern
one-third of North Dakota is thresh-
ing better than an average crop. The
remainder of the state and the entire
state of Montana shows much smaller
yields, but grain is being harvested
that 80 days ago gave little hope Of
being worth cutting. Some of the
wheat, although on very short straw,
has headed in good shape and the
quality is excellent.
''In parts of Wisconsin, through
out all of Minnesota, in South OAK
ota and the eastern portion of North
Dakota the outlook is for a consider
able amount of good fax. A con-
siderable part of this crop has al
ready been cut, but very little of it
has so far been threshed. In the
western half Of the district there will
be some fax that was despaired of
a month ago that will come through
| ScL1SIJS dAIAOuSh IA1O IOIcSA " LA
be reduced as compared with year
ago.
"The money return from the crops
will be large. The consensus of busi-
ness opinion is that while there will
be some localities, especially in the
western half of the district, where
the farmers will not enjoy a good
year, that the district as a whole is
safe from any danger of business
depression and that the buying pow
er of the people as whole will not
be diminished. Money rapidly dis
tributes itself, and even in the dis
tricts where the grain yields are
small the farmers have realized
handsomely from the sale of stock on
an unusually high market"

YOUNG AVIATOR KILLED
HAD RELATIVES HERE
Lieut.. R. R. Kennedy, of Minneapolis.
Falls 200 Feet in Blazing Aero
plane; Dies

]. H. Devenney was greatly shock
ed to learn of the death of his cousin,
Lieutenant Roderick R. Kennedy, of
Minneapolis, Tuesday at Fort Sill,
Okla, from fall from blazing aer-
oplane. The young officer was a
protege of Mr.. Devenney and the ap-
plication of Mr.. Kennedy for the
aviation training camp was signed
by him.
The following account is taken
from the Minneapolis Tribune of
Sept IL.
Lieutenant Roderick r. Kennedy,
"a years old, an officer of the Third
Aero squadron in training at the
Fort Sill, Okla, military camp, died
at 1870 p. M, yesterday of burns and
injuries suffered when he crashed 200
feet of earth in blazing airp1ane at
the Fort Sill camp earlier in the day.
He was a son Of DR.. Jane F. Kennedy,
Minneapolis.
CDR. Kennedy, who lives at 2311
Humboldt avenue south, had planned
to visit her son this week to deliver
to him his commission as a lieuten-
ant, received from Washington Mon
day. A telegram from the army sur
geon at the Fort Sill hospital, an
nouncing the lieutenant's death,
caused her to leave at o'clock last
night, with another son, George, to
bring back the body.
According to witnesses of the ac-
cident, Lieutenant Kennedy had just
started on a fight when the machine
tipped downward and dived to the
earth enveloped in fire. The aviator
leaped from the wreckage and ex-
tinguished the flames on his clothing
unassisted. He then collapsed. He
was terribly burned about the head
shoulders and the lower part of the
body.
"a graduate of the Minneapolis
West high school, Lieutenant Ken
nedy finished at Harvard university
last June. He was widely known
throughout the Northwest as a cham.
pion tennis player. Shortly after
finishing his college course he tried
to enlist with the Harvard engineer.

CORN DAMAGED BY
VERY EARLY FROST
Farmers Will Sustain Heavy Loss
and Supply of Feed Will Be
Greatly Reduced

This locality and all of the North
west sustained a heavy loss on Sun
day night when an unusually early
frost seriously damaged the corn
crop. The extent of the damage To-
cally is difficult to determine, some
fields having been ruined while in
others the damage was comparative
ly slight. The frost will result in
great amount of soft corn, a re-
duction of the feeding value of the
stalks, and a shortage of feed which
with some farmers will cause forced
marketing of stock. To some ex-
tent also, good seed corn will be
scarce.
According to the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, the frost is the earliest in 10
years, September 27, 1912, a heavy
frost was reported in Minnesota, but
the damage done to corn and other
grains was not as large as the pres
ent one.
Southern Minnesota, according to
reports, suffered the worst from the
frost in Washington, Steele, South
dl 1Oou1J anu AOOOOAA
counties the damage to corn is estim-
ated at $10,0OO,00O. Other counties
that were affected as yet have not
reported the approximate damage to
their fields
Prof. A. D. Wilson, chairman of
the Minnesota Food Production COM
mittee and head of the University Of
Minnesota extension division, who
placed the damage at S5O,OOO,O0O or
approximately so per cent of the
full estimated corn crop value was
more optimistic Monday after a
thorough inspection of fields at the
state farm.
1--WE found the corn not entirely
killed." said Mr.. Wilson. "The
stalks for the most part had been
left green, indicating that growth
was not altogether stopped. Much
of the grain probably would ripen
fairly WE'LL
Mr.. Wilson and other agricul-
tural experts estimated that approx
imately 10 per cent of the entire Min
knesota corn crop was sufficiently
matured to escape frost damage. The
big proportion was in the dough" "
while some of it was so retarded as
to still be Sin the milk
This unmatured corn will not be a
complete loss. Hugh J. Hughes, an
other member of the food committee,
said that corn in the dough" would
have nearly full feeding value if
harvested at once and put in silos.
The more advanced Of this, he said,
was capable Of being ripened while
in the shock. Corn in the milk
stage, according to Mr.. Hughes, has
4 a low feeding value as fodder.
The crop could not all be turned
into ensilage, however, he explained,
because there are not nearly enough
silos in the state to take care of it,
and also because it could all be har-
vested before it would be withered
by the sun and much of it's value as
a ~succulent feed lost.
All of the corn saved as feed can

erintendent tried to get it and was
attacked by the bear, and Rothwell
tried to rescue his companion and
the bear turned on him. A policeman
shot the animal and rescued the men,
but not before they had been serious

who lived in Horton township until

MANY ATTEND RED
CROSS CONFERENCE
Kerkhoven Sends Delegates to Morris
Meeting Tuesday to Learn of
Our Methods

The Stevens County Red Cross So
ciety conference that was held in the
parlors of the Morris chapter Tues
day afternoon was one of the most
enthusiastic meetings ever held by
the organization. Mrs. Cora Wells
Thorpe was in charge and the meet
ing marked the last active work of
Mrs. Thorpe in Red Cross activity in
Morris. 1t has been largely due to
Mrs. Thorpe that the Stevens County
Red Cross Society was organized and
has been able to accomplish the many
important things in the past few
months. Mrs. Thorpe will leave
Morris the first of next week to join
Col. Thorpe, now stationed on the
island of San Domingo.
All of the chairmen of the Han
cock, Chokio, DOnnelly and Alberta
branches of the society were present
and nearly all of the chairmen of the
different work and finance commit
tees of these organizations were also
there. The reports given by the diff
ferent chairmen showed increased
interest and activity and many new
members. The chapter rooms were
attractively decorated and all of the
work of the garment, hospital, sur
gicaI and knitting committees were
on display.
Editor A. T. Archer and another
gentleman, delegates from Kerkhov-
en- visited the conference with a view
of establishing a Red Cross organiza-
tion at that place. These men were
particularly interested in the re-
ports of the finance and work com
mittees.
The conference was held Tuesday
afternoon to enable the women tc
attend the matinee presentation Of
the war picture "The Battle of the
Somme."

WILL CONTINUE SESSION
TO COVER NINE MONTHS

The Kelly's school, on Tuesday
night, raised $500 cash to go towards
carrying their term or for the nine
months session. State Superintendent
Swearingen and County Superintend-
ent J. H. Hope agreed to provide a
third of the amount necessary to do
this, provided the school would raise
its third which was $500. the
amount raised in one collection Tues
day night. The matter was brought
to the attention of the patrons on the
occasion of lecture by Will D. Up
shaw, who, together with Rev. ]. D.
Croft, stressed the matter. Kelly's
school is to be congratulated upon this
forward move. Prof. Lake, the wide
awake principal of this school, is also
to be commended for his efforts in
this direction.
Another thing agreed upon by the
patrons and trustees of the school was
to sign for chautauqua course there
for next session. This is a decided
advance for the community, and so
far as we know, it is the first rural
school in this section to go into such
an enterprise. The whole county has
entered with zest upon the movement.
