championship competitions in the final
round of the tourney of the Fencers'
Club of America which was held in the
ballroom of the Hotel Aston last even

the champion, failed to finish better
than third.

Kansas Wheat Crop
Smallest in 20 Years
Fiftv.hve Per Cent of Acreage
Abandoned; More Corn,
Oats and Potatoes

Topeka, Kan. April 20.-Fifty-hve
per cent of the 1917 wheat crop in Kan
sas has been abandoned, leaving the
smallest acreage since 1897 and one Of
the poorest conditions the state has
ever known, says the official crop re-
port. issued here to-day by j. c. Mohler,
secretary of the State Board of Agrl-
culture. The report covers every acre
of wheat producing land in Kansas.
Prospects for crop from the re-
naming A. per cent of the last fall
sowing is shown as 6O13 per cent. The
report does not give the bushel estl-
mate, but it was explained by experts
that the figures would indicate a prob
able crop Of 100000 bushels, nearly
81 900 900 bushels less than last year
and more than 133,OOO,OO bushels short
Of 1914.
This failure is attributed in the main
to dry weather, freezing and the blow
ing of the soil by the wind.
Increased acreage of corn, oats and
potatoes is shown by the report.

canning facilities.
To prevent such loss the government,
has asked Gamers 10 cease packing
ron-perishqble foods. thus leaving
greater supply Of cans for the perish,
sblc products. Several have consented
~ do this. and similar action probably
will be taken by all the other canning
companies. NJ
"Tin" cans arc made of steel. There
is merely a thin coating of TIN over the
steel. The can factories have been lot
some time unable to obtain enough
sheet steel. Virtually all the big can
factories arc now running only on a
LaIf-time basis. Even under the aO-
formal conditions - is said that the
total product Of the canmakerS Will be
in excess of last years. But the de-
mand for cans has increased so ire

an equally large gain. Approximately

Wheat Profit for Allies
Reported to Have Made
S3.5OO.OOO on Market Turns

Chicago, April 2O.-The Allied gov
ernments. dealing through Chicago
brokers. are credited to-day with hav-
ing made a profit of more than S3,5Oo,'
900 in the last two months in turns
on the grain market by changing from
one option to the other.
This profit, it is said, was made by
selling a line of July wheat and buying
the September option at a price APP
proximately thirty cents below the July
option. Only a short time ago agents
Of the Allies sold more than 100000
bushels of May wheat in an endeavor
to block the rise in price, and accord
ing to brokers they made a large gam
on the transaction.
Agents of the Allied governments
have bought wheat futures in anticlpa--
ton of shipments of cash wheat, and
thus have taken up about 10000
bushels, according to brokers. They
also have taken some 12,000,0OO bushels
of May and July corn and as much oats

suited in your being mobbed. Such ac.
ton is breach of the peace Nothing

Preparedness Begins
In Your Own Garden

They are. however, among the most
desirable vegetables that the home
gardener can raise. String and Lima
beans grow rapidly and leave the
area in which they have been planted
free for another crop. To secure a
continuous supply it is desirable to
make paintings at intervals of ten
days or two weeks from the time
that the ground is reasonably warm
until hot weather sets in.
Both string and Lima beans are
subdivided into pole and bush types.
The pole Lima bean should be plant
ed with from eight to ten seeds in
tho hill, and after the plants become
established should be thinned to
three or four The hills should be
four or five feet apart Bush Lima
beans are planted five or six inches
apart, in rows thirty to thirty-six
inches apart. Bush beans of the
string type may be planted somewhat
closer the plants standing three or
four inches apart, IN rows from TWEEN
ty TO twenty-four inches apart, If
hand cultivation only is to be en-
ployed.
Beans should not be planted any
deeper than is necessary to secure
good termination. This should never
be over two inches, and on heavy
soil it should not be more than one
and one-quarter to one and one-half
inches.
Bets can be planted comparatively
early in the season if the danger of
frost is past. The seed should be
sown in drills fourteen to eighteen
inches apart and covered to a depth
Of about one inch. As soon as the
plants arc well up they should be
thinnel to stand three TO four inches
apart. From two 10 three paintings
should be made in order to have a
continuous supply of young, tender
beets.

War Marriage Rush Ends

The ardor of New York City's young
men for married life took a sudden
drop Yesterday, following the announce
ment of the War Department that all
men married since war was declared
would be subject to call the same as
unmarried men. Only 100 licenses were
issued during the day. and only thirty
three marriage ceremonies were per-
formed. -..
Scattered throughout New York City
there are 4,277 bridegrooms who have
been married since the declaration OF
war. Out of this number more than
half. according to the estimate of the
CITY Clerks office, married to evade
service. About GO per cent of those
who joined the marriage stampede are
between nineteen and twenty-seven
wears of age.
