At no time during this year has the

These are the kuestions that are

which was virtually destroyed recent

ON GRAIN CROP

BIG GRAIN CROP IN IMPERIAL
"By A. NJ. Nelson
"When the Imperial Valley gram
harvest starts, then tie national
grain harvest starts. This year I'M
perial Valley had a carload of wheat,
its first, rolling toward market on
May 8, and since then the harvest
there has been in full swing, pro
ceeding as fast as the threshlng
equipment would permit.
"The wheat acreage in the Valley,
which heretofore has been less than
10000 acres, is this year estimated
between 10000 and $4,000 acres. The
wheat shortage has led many flour
ing mills to close or reduce their out
puts, and there have been many buy
ers in Imperial Valley to contract
for the valley wheat as the first
which will reach the market. Vary
ing premiums over the Government
guarantee price have been paid. and
the valley ranchers will record this
years wheat crop as one of good
profit Figuring on an acreage Of
10000 with 35 bushels as an average,
the valley crop this year will bring
Approximately 100000.
"Nearly all of the earl CONNER
cial paintings were made with either
eastern varieties of wheat, which
were poorly adapted to our conditions,
or with Sonora, whose origin is in
the State of Sonora, Mexico. While
these varieties yielded fairly well
WREN given the proper conditions, the
quality of the grain was not good
and the grain was largely sold local
ly for feeding purposes. Experiments
carried ON at the experiment station
at Meloland gave results which indi-
Gated other varieties as superior to
thos already being grown. Among
these the most promising were the

Early Baart has become the most
popular and it is estimated that OF

of that variety.
"Among the fields harvested in the

common occurrence to find some
which averaged fifteen to eighteen

In the Days News

Senator Morris Sheppard of
Texas, who enters upon his 45th
year today, is widely known as the
chief sponsor of the much-discuss-
ed federal prohibition amendment.
Mr. Sheppard has served in con-
gress since 1902. 1t was in that
year that he was elected to the
house of representatives to fill out
the term of his father, John L.
Sheppard, and after more than ten
years of service in this post was
similarly chosen to complete the
unexpired term of Senator Joseph
w. Bailey. Mr.. Sheppard is a lawyer
by profession. He was educated at
the University of Texas and the
Yale Law school, receiving his A. B.
degree from the former in 1895 and
his LII M from the latter in 1898.
In addition to leading the fight in
the senate for prohibition he has
also been a staunch advocate of the
proposed woman suffrage amend
ment.

Consolidation of Revenue Districts.

Proposed consolidation. Of the Fifth revenue
district, with headquarters at Peoria,i with the
Springfield district Is bringing protest from
this part OF the state. The move isaproposed
by the treasury department in the< interests
of economy. IT is possible that few'dollars
might be saved to the government, but h'would
certainly be at the expense OF much Fincon-
venience to the public.
The Peoria district formerly wassthe most
important in the matter of revenue insthe west,
second only to the Cincinnati district in the
entire United States. OF course abolitionj q
the manufacture Of distilled liquors alters mat
ters considerably and the income here win be
greatly reduced. On the other hand. however,
the income tax and other methods OF raising
revenue resorted to to meet the cost of the
war have vastly increased the amount OF work
connected with the local once. Collector Nc
Cabe has had and will continue to have all the
work that he can properly attend to.
Collection Of federal taxes already imposes
a great deal Of inconvenience upon 'the public.
Impairment Of the collection machinery inevita-
bly, would result from the proposed change, so
the emphatic demand that the Peoria ONCE be
retained is not surprising.

The First Transatlantic Flight.

Americans, flying in machine invented and
developed by American ingenuity, have been
the first to cross the Atlantic by air.
The achievement of Commander Read and
his crew is one which will rank with the great
exploits of h,~~ry. 1t was made possible only
by long preparation and by perfection of de-
tail for which direct credit must go to the
United States navy.
1t Is significant that the N. CA which per
formed the feat, seemed hopeless contender
on the face Of the showing it made on the first
leg of the fight, and that it won out by sheer
pluck and stick-to-itiveness on the part of its
crew, favored. Of course, by an even break in
the luck. No better lesson on the virtue of
persistence in the face of encouragement has
been offered anywhere in modern times
The imagination falters in contemplation
Of the vistas that the first successful fight
across the Atlantic opens. If the changes are
as striking as those which followed the first
trip in a steamship it means the opening of a
new era which will draw the continents vastly
nearer together and which will immensely
quicken international life

early and as certainly as possible hut to make
arrangements work out properly everybody
must do his part
Experience Rock Island has had with SIM
liar demonstrations has shown what would
happen IL there were no restrictions There
would be dense, struggling mob ar the train
which would not untangle itself for an hour
and many reunion would go awry. AS mat
tiers have been arranged there will be room
for the soldiers to line up and start their pa
rade unhampered and without loss of time
Members of their families will be able to see
them IN line and then may Join them in the
gymnasium at the college where the banquet
will be served. Relatives should provide
themselves with tickets to be obtained from
the Red Cross headquarters to avoid trouble at
the door.
The plan adopted probably is the best that
could have been devised for a joint demon
stration- by Rock Island and Moline. Ger
tainly it will be more satisfactory to the men
TO parade but once and then directly to the
place where the banquet awaits them and
where they can see their families. The Rock
Island streets over which the parade will pass
are boulevarded and there Is room for great
many people. Opportunity will be also afford
ed to see the spectacle from the hill side above
Seventh avenue.
The committees are working faithfully and
have met so far with willing response on the
part Of the public. If this spirit is maintained

ton will be the kind we should all wish it to
be-a welcome that the boys will look back
