CLAY COUNTY MAN
HAS BUMPER CROP
Eighty Acres of Wheat Averages
Twenty three Bushels, Selling
For More Than 5000.

The wheat from 80 acres of the l..
s. Thorn farm, north Of Moorhead,
was sold for over $1,000. This was
one OF the first fields OF wheat
threshed in Clay county and the adj
monition to Edo your threshing
early" proved profitable to Mr.. Thorn.
He says the yield averaged 20 BUSH
els to the acre and every bushel was
sold at the top price, 1884. This
means a gross return of $5,225.60
from the field, or $65.32 from each
acre in the tract.
The oats on the Thorn farm aver
aged so bushels and the barley lit
tie over rs bushels to the acre. An
other advantage Of early threshing
Is that the grain was all OFF the stub
BILE fields and blowing was begun this
morning with twelve 14-inch bottoms
pulled by a big tractor engine.

CALL ON FARMERS
TO SAVE 1918 SEED
Crops Division Committee Empha.
sizes Need of Reserve Stock
In Case of Loss,

d. A. Wallace. chairman, and c. p.
Bull, secretary, of the crops division
of the Minnesota State Committee OF
Food Production and Conservation.
are issuing call to the farmers and
gardeners of Minnesota to save seeds
of the staple farm products and of
garden vegetables as a means of
providing for the crops of 1918, 1918
and 1920. Mr.. Wallace ami Mr.. Bull
urge the saving Of seeds of farm
crops and vegetable gardens in
proper amounts and Of proper kind
and quality.
The seed needs for one years use
may be illustrated by giving the
amounts necessary to plant normal
crops OF corn and wheat. These are
100000 and 4,569,000 bushels respec-
lively; which, on the basis Of normal
consumption, would feed the nonula.-
ton of Minneapolis. ST. Paul and
Duluth for one year with wheat.
"But the committee urges saving
just a little more than is necessary
for one years sowing, that a reserve
stock may be had in case OF loss in
next years crop. This need not be
regarded as withheld from the
worlds needs for as soon as the crop
In 1918 Is practically safe it, can be
released.
The committee urges the great
est Of care In the selection and grad
ing Of seed, also the use Of varieties
known to be well adapted to the To-
cality. The farmers are especially
urged not TO adopt new and highly
advertised varieties without a knowi-
edge OF their adaptibility or the
sanction of the agricultural college. :"

CLOSING LETTER.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 1s.-Corn: Short
covering early held prices steady, but
whens ii let up. and with offerings
still liberal, there was a further de-
cline Stop loss selling added to the
weakness. Cash trade was slow ana
some of the industries are out of the
market. General tendency of buyers
of cash corn is more conservative. due
to the increased offerings of new oats,
and the enormous crop, with the ex-
pectations of far shipments a little
later on from the south. Receipts are
moderate. Sentiment has become
bearish and new support at the pres
emit is feeble.
OATS Pressure was again heavy on
the September with cash houses sell
ing. while few buyers were in the
market The crop has been secured
in good condition in most sections
with huge yields reported every
where. Sentiment continues bearlsn,
but the big decline should not be lost
sight Of nor the fact that the short
interest has been greatly Increased.

CLEAR WAR FOR
war TAX DEBATE
Chief Fight is Expected
Monday on Incomes and
War Profits
(By Associated Press.l


washington, Aug. 1S.-Disposition
oy the senate yesterday Of many
uncontested provisions Of the So
OO6, 100000 war tax bill almost clear
ed the way for the sharp fight which
probably will begin Monday over Inc
come and war profits taxes.
Among important features dis
posed of during the day were the
wine and motor vehicle schedules.
The revisions OF the finance conn
mittee levying between $4,000, 900
and $5o,O00.0O0 on owners of motor
vehicles instead of $4,000, 900 on
manufacturers as proposed by the
house bill were adopted, as were the
increased rates on wines, estimated
to raise $21.000.000 against $6,0OO,-
600 under the house rates.
House provisions levying a s per
cent tax upon gross sales Of many
manufacturers and designed to raise
$11S, 900 also were formally elm
mated, the new automobile and 9TH
er reduced excise taxes being sub
stituted. The senate also accepted
the finance committees action in
striking out the house provision for
additional federal taxation of inher-
itance. An amendment to the auto |
mobile section suggested by Senator
4AAOA anu duOpIcu lulpOSSS u sur
tax of $40 for each $500 value on
cars costing more than $4,000.
AS accepted the section now pro-
vides the following motor vehicle
taxes, payable by owners of those
not used exclusively for business
purposes:
Motorcycles, $3.50; automobiles,
costing under $500, IS annually:
costing between $500 and $3.50, $7.50Yh
costing between $3.50 and $1,000, $40,
with SIS additional for each $500 up
to $4,000 and $40 for each $500 above
5000.
The tax based upon original list
price would be reduced by 10 per
cent for each years use OF the ma
chine up to a gross allowance of so
per cent. #,
Senator Smoot said that the motor
tax would fall upon those able to
bear it. Any person using an auto s
mobile with present prices of gaso-
line and supplies, he declared, can
well afford the tax.

cam, with eight victories in it's last
twelve games, has been moving
along much better than either of the
pennant chasers, but squirting under
present conditions seems a wasted
effort as far as the pennant is con-
cerned.
Owner Comiskey of the White Sox
is quoted as saying that Ban John
son has been talking too much and
that the White Sox will take part in
the worlds series regardless of the
war. Comiskey, If he hasn't been
misquoted, is talking through his
hat. In the first place the White
Sox have not yet disposed of the
Red Sox in the race for the American
league pennant. Furthermore, it is
doubtful If Comiskey would agree to
pit his team against the Giants in
the worlds series IL Uncle Sam
should take Schalk, Scott, Danforth,
Felsch and Weaver into the national
army. The willingness of Ban John
son and Governor Tener to end the
pennant races prematurely in re-
Spouse to the nations call was a
fine display of loyalty and patriot
ism. But President Wilson's desire
to keep baseball alive has saved the
game. Comiskey should have in
dorsed Johnson and Tener instead of
giving out his amusing interview.
President w. f. Baker of the Phil
lies declared recently that the en-
gagement of John j. Evers has
greatly improved the team. Evers.
to Baker, is playing Sec
ond base in old time form. He Is as
fast as ever and is putting new life
into Pat Moran's players. "Evers
is behaving himself admirably" said
the owner OF the PhiIlies. He is
having no trouble with the umpires
and is playing clean ball" All Of
which proves the assertion that
Evers wanted to get away from the
Braves field, where rowdy conduct
has disguised Boston baseball fans.
McGraw has fortified the Giants
against losing players In the draft
He has his eyes on the worlds series.

Though the Chicago White Sox
continue to set the pace in the Amer
lean league bunting chase, close fol-
lowers of the American league
games are not inclined to string
along with the Chicago club in the
question of winning the pennant.
The idea seems to prevail that be-
fore October is reached the Boston
club will be out in front and that the
next worlds series will be a repeti-
tion Of 1912. the Red Sox VS.. the
Giants.
This is the prevalent idea among
the Yankees and also among the
Cleveland Indians. Both these clubs
are out of the race, or at least have
nothing but an outside chance that
is worth little at this stage. Mathe-
matically they could be in front with
in the next ten days, but no such
hopes are entertained. Teams with
a lead ranging from eight to ten
games at this stage of the season
are not in serious danger.

Boston win win, the players give
the Red Sox the edge because of SUI

THE OLD ORIOLES.

II
Hugh Jennings, leader of the
Detroit Tigers, hasn't played
game of baseball for nearly
twenty years, but when he prac-
tees at shortstop, to get some
exercise, he reminds veteran fans
OF the days when he covered that
position for the old Orioles of
Baltimore. This famous ball
club, one of the best ever seen
in fast company, still is repre-
scented in the game of modern
times. McGraw, the Giants
manager, played third base. Will
bert Robinson, the leader OF the
Brooklyns, was the catcher. Kid
Gleason, the assistant manager
OF the White Sox, pitched and
played second base. Joe Kelley,
the heavy hitting outfielder. is
the Yankees chief scout, while
Bill Clarke, another backstop,
has been baseball coach at
Princeton for many years. Dan
Broughters is employed by the
New York National league club
as a scout and Jack Doyle is an
umpire on the coast. Doyle
succeeded Brouthers at first
base.
