Wheat Yield Double

year, according to the Continents

Chicago.
Estimated yields of wheat this.
year in this country are 909, III,

dry kilns. 1t is a big undertake
ing, but our Uncle Sam is stopping
at nothing to bring early victory
over the Huns, and the aeroplane
promises to play the final and de-
cisive factor to bring this about.
We are glad that Cottonwood
will thus be able to actively par
ticipate in actual war work and
sincerely hope that the operations
will assume such proportions as to
bring to our community an op-
portunity of contributing towards
winning the war, besides buying
Liberty Bonds and contributing
to war charities.
Mr.. Hussman has already put
three men into the timber cruis-
ing and selecting suitable trees;
is building a loading platform at
the siding here to load logs onto
the cars, engaging, outside motor
trucks, teams, loggers, cutters,
etc, and will be ready to com
mence shipping within a few
weeks.
While the labor situation is bad
at this time owing TO the harvest
being in full blast, he has instruc-
.tions to proceed without delay;
that this matter just now is Of
just as much, Importance as har-
Yesting, and that if sufficient men
cannot be secured locally the de-
partmentwill furnish them, per-
shaps taking some of the enlisted
men into this service.
Let the good work go on, and
may the weather man favor the
undertaking by giving us another
two months of dry weather and
good roads.

many entered this war with en-
,thusiasm, but this has long since
disappeared and it is now a dread
ful and hopeless struggle with no
chance for victory, now that
America is entering the waron
such a gigantic scale. They also
admit that the submarine warfare
is a failure.
These officers attribute e.
cent defeats to the inehiciency OF
their air service and more espec-
tally to the inexperience and lack
of stamina of the latest recruits,
who are most inadequately drilled
and trained ard who are physi-
cally incapable of sustaining the
heavy strain of defensive warfare.
The mere presence Of these new
recruits, they say, produces in a
company demoralizing effect
upon the older men because it in
dicates to what straits Germany
must be reduced to employ such
poor material.

PRAIRIE CROPS
BREAK RECORD
Yield Heavy and Acreage
n Largest Ever Sown Here

J
Victor Peterson, county food
administrators and warehouse
manager, sent the following in
formation to the Spokesman Re
view and which was published in
Saturdays issue of that paper.
Mr.. Peterson has been handling
grain here for many years and is
regarded as good authority on
grain statistics. He says: Is
while the,wheat yield may be
lighter than previous years figured
on basis Of the number of bush
els to the acre, the total is as
great, if not greater, than ever
before. Many farmers planted
larger areas than ever in wheat
this year and to this we owe the
larger total yield. The oat crop
is light and there is not a great
quantity OF barley, but the wheat
crop all over the prairie is good.
"Harvesters report fall wheat

per acre. The average yield will
be between 25 and 80 bushels an

Hussman Lbr. Co. to Ship
Logs for Wing Beams
to Government Mill

Cottonwood is to help win the
Wa4and participate in actual war
wo,k is the report Of w. B. Hass-
Nrfraal, who returned from Spokane
Wednesday evening, where he
had gone to meet Mr.. Kenneth
Ross of the Spruce Division rep
resenting the government and at
the head of that division for the
Inland Empire, to see about fur
nishing logs or lumber for aero
plane constructions
The Aeroplane department has
recently made experiments with
Idaho White Pine and Western
Pine with the result that both of
these woods have been found
highly satisfactory and the de-
partment is now anxious to secure
vast quantities of this lumber,
and just as soon as possible.
Mr., Hussman made arrange
ments te,supply logs to be loaded
and shipped to either Potlatch or
Occur D'Alene and in any amount
that he may be able to get out up
toa million feet. However, the
distance these logs mist be hauled,
and that on motor trucks and the
lateness Of. the season will limit,
his output to perhaps one fourth
= of that amount or less, since we
cannot under the mo favorable
weather conditions hope to have
good roads for more thana few
months.
But the department. is very
anxious to secure even the small
est amount and at the very ear
liest date SO that laboratory tests
may be made of the grain, texture
and strength of lumber from this
particular district and if found
superior to that from other dis
trictsg as. Mr.. Hussnnan feels con-
fident that it, is, we may look for
vast quantities Of logs to be
shipped from the Craig Mountain
section. To secure the quality
of logs wanted requires selective
logging, since they must be
straight grained, free from pitch

Prisoners Admit There is
No Chance for Them.

contain the glorious news that
along a front of rs miles the Ger
mans are suffering the most crush
ing defeat of the war and that
many thousands of the butchers
are being killed and taken prison
er daily, besides millions of dol
lars worth of guns and war ma
terial captured.
Within the last few days the
Germans have lost a dozen or
more of their greatest strongholds
such as Montdidier, Albert, Arras,
Monchy, Bullecourt, Bapaume,
Bray, Chaulnes, Noyon, Roye and
numerous others-and the good
work still goes on.
Many letters taken from pris-
oners and dead Germans indicate
that hopeless despair is beginning
to prevail on the German side of
the line. A letter written home
by a German who was stationed
in town which has now been
captured, said:
"The war has been lost for some
time, only those high up are fail
ling to admit it"
The letter added: ''Oh, poor
Germany, only the dead at the
front have forgotten this swindle."
Another letter said:
"This cannot last much long
err" while still another German
wrdge
"Our losses greatly exceed all
the drafts. Germany is sure to
lose very soon"
Many letters taken from pris-
oners, whether written or received
by them, are in the same vein.
One German in Berlin chided his
brother at the front about max
ing rapid progress to the rear. He
then predicted the war was surely
coming to an end and with the
allies then making an economic
war, Germany would be ruined.
Many of these were written be-
fore the British began their drive.
German soldiers believe that
Germany is not planning any
more offensives because of the
man power shortage, according to
one of a party of seven of a Ger
many patrol captured by the
Americans Sunday a t Fismes.
The prisoner said the German sol
diers no longer had any enthu-
siasm for war and were thorough
ly worn-out and whipped.
Most of those with whom he
came in contact believed the war
would end soon.'
/, The prisoner had been fighting
three years and declared he was
thoroughly tired of it. He said
the soldiers understood that the
German losses during the recent
allied offensive were so frightful
as to be beyond belief. These re-
ports were credited by the soldiers
and were having a demoralizing
effect. He said he knew of one
division of $4,000 which had been
reduced to less than 1000.
Plenty of Germans, he added

en- the opportunity, and were do
