Many Combines Operate

A noticeable feature of this years
harvest is the large number of COM
bines in operation. From one point,
in the Evansville section last Tues
day three different machines could
be observed, two of them drawn by
horses and the third by a gigantic
tractor. The ]. S. Klemgard COM
line Is one of the largest in that
vicinity, a mammoth Holt, with
20-foot cut, propelled by Holt rs
caterpillar tractor. Thirty acres per
day is an easy task for this machine,
with five men handling the various
operations.
The stationary outfits are earning
their money this year If they ever
did, the unusual growth of straw re-
ducing the average days work Tor
these machines to 700 sacks. Fred
Hodges, with a 1i-foot combine. IS
turning out 500 sacks each day.
w TN Tue cACSpIoh"t' i"a -
Der of combines in operation, it IS
very probable that this years har-
vest season will be the shortest in
the history of farming operations
here. The end of this week will see
nearly one-haIf the grain in the sack
while September s, according to To-
cal grain men, should see the close
OF the 1919 harvest season, incident
ally the richest, in point of dollars,
in all time.

Indications, With Harvest Well Under
Way, Point to Excellent Average
Wholesome Crops Already
Sold

With the grain harvest in the vi
entity of Pullman well under way and
many yields already reported on
which to base Judgment, a predic-
ton of yield close to 80 bushels
per acre for fall and spring wheat APP
pears to be conservative one, al
though some farmers claim that these
figures are a trifle high. Fred G.
Densow, local grain buyer who has
made close study of the situation,
predicts that fall wheat, which is in
the majority ih this vicinity this
year, will average between go and
81 bushels 10 the acre, while spring
wheat will run from 23 to rs bushels
joint average of close to 80 bushels.
If this prediction is borne out by
actual yields, as it undoubtedly will
be, the farmers of the Pullman dis
trict will receive more money, by
far, for their wheat this year than
ever before in the history of Whit
man county. While in more favo,
able years in the past the average
yield has been greater, such con-
dition has not prevailed with the
present-day prices in effect, nor has
the acreage been go great as this
yea;.
Seventy-fiye per cent of the fall
sown wheat is smutted, according
to estimates of grain men who have
sampled the wheat from many fields.
but the spring grain. which is nov
ready for harvest in many fields,
shows little indication OF smut.
Turkey red, in most cases this year.
is free from smut, while Red Russian
and the red hybrids show the great
est degree of smut.
Heavy Straw PTetiOnainates
Long. heavy straw, with small but
well filled heads. is the general sit
uation throughout this district. Some
fields which were estimated by the
farmers at 20 to 20 bushels before
the threshing, are yielding 80 bushels
and better, although in few cases
the actual yield at threshing has
proved somewhat disappointing.
One of the heaviest stands OF
straw in this vicinity is that in one
OF the j. S. Kiemgard fields in the
Evansville section, where the wheat
heads tickle mans ears as he walks
through the field and the straw Is
almost incredibly thick. Mr.. KLEIN
gard is combining this field this

NeU Drying Process
for Meats Permits of
Shipment Without Ice
BY Universal Service.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Actual
shipments have been made of
meats dried by the new process
discovered by DR.. K. c. Falk and
DR.. E. M. Krankel in the Harri-
man laboratory of Roosevelt hos
pital and perfected at Columbia
university, it was announced at
the university tonight. The re-
suits were even more than had
been expected, it was intimated.
The first shipment was of 800
pounds of dried meat to a south
ern military camp. Reports re-
ceived from the camp stated nat
the soldiers who ate the meat
took it for strictly fresh meat
Another shipment Of 1.500 pounds
has Just been made by steamer
consigned to Constantinople to
be distributed to hospitals in
Syria and other parts of Asia
Minor where refrigerating facili-
ties are lacking.
DR.. Ralph H., Mckee of
Columbia university explained
today that the process consists
of extracting all water from the
meat by placing it in a vacuum
under low temperature. 1t can
be kept indefinitely and has only
to be soaked in water to be re-
stored to its original weight and
condition.

Peace Conference Divided on

Paris, Jan. 28.-(By Associated

pied the entire attention Of two ex-
tended executive sessions of the su-
preme council of the great powers to-
day, and the disposition of this small
empire, scattered over the African
mainland in Asia and throughout the
Pacific, is presenting territorial
question Of the first magnitude.
The hearings given today cover I'd
the entire range of these German
colonies, as the delegates of Aus

sented their respective interests III

Gen. Jan Christian Smits, the
South African leader, and Gen. Louis

already have been heard on the
question of German East Africa and
now it only remains to obtain the
viewpoint of the Belgians, who are
about to present their ideas of their
interests on the colonies adjacent to
the Belgian Congo. 1t appears to
be the generally accepted view
among those having interests in the
matter khat Germany's colonies
should not be returned to her.
This in turn has developed another
crucial question, namely whether
German sovereignty over these
colonies should pass to the powers
who may receive them, or whether
they should be entrusted, as pro-
