A. p Mack, who owns splendid
farm near Marmaduke, and who is
always interested in progressive
movements incident to the conser-
walton of farm products, has handed
to The Daily Press an exceedingly
interesting issue of the Country Gen
tleman, a Curtis publication, which
contains an article by a food eX-
pert calling attention to the neces-
sity of each farmer planting enough
wheat this fall to guarantee one or
two barrels of flour. This wheat,
the expert insists should be bolted
at local mills and put away for in
dividual use, thus relieving the
northern markets of heavy drafts
for -four next year at time when
the nations railways will be taxed
to their capacity with government
orders and troop movements. Mr.
Mack is of the opinion that too much

Memphis, Aug 10. The condi-

spotted, according to- reports to the
Commercial Appeal from correspond

date of Aug, 8.
The crop lost ground heavily in
Texas and Alabama, about held its
own in Georgia, the Carolinas and
Louisiana, and made big progress IN
the remainder OF the belt This
probably averages a slight deterio-
ration for the crop as a whole as
the acreage in Texas and Alabama
is greater than that in the states

POKER PLAYER
KILLED in H0LD-UP
Another Wounded By Bullet Fired
At Third Man-Robbers Got
The Pot.

Forst Smith, Ark. Aug. ia
bullet that a highwayman had
aimed at another man killed John
Hawthorn, aged 50, in a holdup of
a poker game near Old Jenny Lind
last night. Before striking Haw-
thorn the bullet struck and in
ficted flesh wound in the arm of
Frank Phillips. The robbers made
their escape With approximately
$500, the stakes of the game.
The robbers, two in number, were
masked. Entering the room where
dozen men were engaged in the
game. they commanded the latter
to hold up their hands. Hawthorn
looked upon the holdup as joke
and refused to raise his hands.
When one of the men poked a
revolver into Hawthorn's face he
realized the holdup was genuine
and raised his hands,
While herobber was engaged
with Hawthorn, West Bradshaw, one
of the men in the room, seized upon
the opportunity to escape. The
robbers companion fired at him.
The bullet missed Bradshaw, struck
Phillips on the arm and then struck
Hawthorn near the heart, inficting
instant death.
Bloodhounds failed to trace the
robbers.

vANADIUM IS NOW
 IN GREAT DEMAND

While no end of interest is being manifested just now in the activities at the properties of the United States Vanadium Development company, near Kelvin, and reports of finds of rich ore are being received almost daily, attention is being directed to the various uses of vansdium. It has been generally understood that vanadium finds general usage in the making of armor plate, automobile and machin- cry wearing parts and other purposes where particularly hard steel is re- i quired.
 In this connection the following arti- cle from the Mining and Scientific Press, under the heading, "Vanadium for Aeroplanes," is of especial inter- est:
 'Vanadium has been in great de- mand since the outbreak of the war , for steel parts of aeroplanes, sub marines, and in armour plate for war ships and armored motor truck. Light machine guns and aerial artillery are almost wholly constructed of vana dium steel. In all cases where it is essential to reduce weight without sacrifice of strength, and especially where great resistance of shock is re- quired, this alloy is employed. The growth of the vanadium industry has been phenomenal. In 1905 only 1000 tons of vanadium steel was produced This was used for high speed tool steel. The present consumption ot ferro-vanadium, which is used in the manufacture of the steel-alloy, is near ly 1000 tons per month. representing about 5000 tons of steel. The objec- 1 tions offered to the use of vanadiun. were essentially the same as tLose that now operate against Molybdenum it occurred in deposits that were not dependable. a No assured supply was available, sufficient to sustain a grow ing market. The discovery of the fla nous vanadium sulphide (patronite) deposits in Peru in 1915 was the basis on which the industry grew The mines are at an altitude of 16.300 feet. at Nina Ragna, 32 miles from Cerro de Pasco. The ore yields 19 per cent vanadium. and an enormous tonnage has been developed. Its reduction is accomplished by an electric process. the details of which are not made pub lie. Refining is done by other means but the bulk of the worlds vanadiun. is produced by methods largely per fected by D. Saklatwalla, chief metal lurgist of the American Vanadium con- pany at Bridgeville. Pa. This concern was developed from small beginnings about 25 years ago. when James Flan- nery. a Pittsburg undertaken. was com pelled to take over the infant indus try with the patents on which it was based to cover a loan. This accident has made him a millionaire.
