more this morning on his way to Mill
Creek, where a few days ago he
brought about the arrest of 33 men,
three OF whom were charged with dy-
namiting Mill creek to kill fish. The
rest of the men We're charged with

near the town of Mill Creek, gave him
first information as to the dynamiting.
The congressman has a favorite fish
ing place in the creek, flowing through
his land, known as Blue Hole" which
he has stocked with game fish at his
own expense. When he came to Ard.

ton and learned that men had been
dynamiting Blue Hole" he telephoned
a complaint to the deputy game war
den.
When Rozzell went to Mill Creek he
also had information that many citi-
zens there had been killing plover. The
deputy warden thus killed two birds
with one stone" by arresting both the
dynamiters and the plover.killers.
one of the dynamiters and most of
the men charged with killing plover
pleaded guilty, Rozzell told The Ard.
moreite. The fines for killing plover
are $32 in each case. For dynamit-
ing "a stream the penalty is from 81
to $500 fine or a Jail sentence up to
one year or both fine and imprison-
ment.
Il got to Mill Creek unannounced,"
said Rozzell, "and took Il quiet walk
out along the creek to Blue Hole. Sew
eral automobiles passed me on the
way. When | got back to the town |
heard the repot that "A strange man

OKLAHOMA FARMERS
REAP|N E GREAT TEST
HARVEST OF WHEAT

Oklahoma City, June 16.-The farm
ers of Oklahoma are reaping a harvest
of gold in the wheat fields of the Soon
er state Between $115,OO0 900 and
Sl20, ,0OO, 900 are pouring into the gran
aries of the state, for the wheat har-
vest, now at its height, is bringing to
the tiller of the soil the richest reward
in the history of the state.
Based on information furnished by
1,100 agents in the various counties,
the state board of agriculture has pre-
pared supplemental report on the
condition of the crop that includes
some amazing statements. First, the
growing condition of the crop is only
nine percent below the 100 mark OF
perfection, and this in spite the heav-
lest and most frequent June and May
rains in the records of the weather bu-
reau at Oklahoma City, in spite of the
rumors of red rust that would cut
the crop half in two and the tales of
appalling damage by the army or cut
worm. The condition the second week
in June. with the harvest in progress
in at least a third Of the state, was
only one percent less than shown in
the department bulletin of June l.
When a farmer can get Is TO 90
bushels of wheat to the acre he thinks
he is mighty lucky, but this year Ok
lahoma's average yield is forecast at
eighteen bushels. With the average
price set at 81 a bushel, the big in
crease and the excellent present condi-
ton the Oklahoma farmer is not lucky,
b1it ninp his toaritpl reward
The nearest approach to this years
sixty million yield was in 1915 when
the state broke all records and taxed
the facilities of the railroads and fairly
swamped the elevators.
The predicted yield of the state is
placed at SO ,40O, 900 bushels, the largest
ever produced by Oklahoma. Last year
the states production was, in round
numbers, 33,000,000 bushels.
Red rust damage is figured at 4.6
per cent and while general is much
smaller than at first reported Insect
damage is estimated at 80 percent.

The revised draft of the treaty

at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
The council will give final con.

his colleagues, will leave for Wei

before the German national assem-

Saturday said that the concensus of
opinion in official quarters there
seemed to be that the terms, unless
modified in spirit and letter" will
