HALF WHEAT CUT
Much Lost Ry Being Tangled
Crops Now Oyer-ripe
Binder Shortage

There is scarcely half of the
wheat in the county cut at this
time and the amount of dead
ripe grain is appalling. The loss
by being unable to get binders
will be immense and can never
be correctly ascertained. Today
fields with one binder running
should have at least three in
order to get the grain down and
in the shock before heavy loss
will be inevitable. This situa-
ton is all over the county. Every
township has crops which have
not been touched and fields of
wheat now dead ripe. Rye has
been pretty generally put in
shock and fortunately, oats are
not pushing the farmers who
planted. Corn has been pretty
generally cleaned out tho there
are number Of crops as weedy
as corn ever gets and comes
thru with more than fodder.
1t is too early to make a fair
guess at the yield of wheat but
the impression is that the crop
will be much less per acre than
last year but that the greater
number of acres will make up for
that loss is sure. The quality is
good nearly all over the county
except where damaged by over
flow. Chicago Smith has 24O
acres which is the Turkey Red
variety and which it is estimated
will turn out at least 81 bushels
to the acre, perhaps more. This
farm is not in the part of the
county credited with the best
yield and best quality Of wheat.
Rye cut is disappointing to an
extent and the oat crop does
not promise what was desired.
But until threshing begins, no
reliable estimate can be made.
The thing is to get the wheat
and oats in the shock and thru
the threshers now as rapidly as
possible.
One thing has been proven
and that is, that a good tractor
with a ten or twelve fcrt binder
attached, will do the cutting
much more rapidly, smoothly
and satisfactorily than any two
binders with horses for the
motor power: Horses have new
er suffered more severely than
this year and the loss of time
necessary for the teams pulling
binders to rest and continue thru
"a dag has meant the loss of
many acres remaining uncut.

Keytesyill s Glasgow 0

The ball club at Glasgow met
its waterloo Sunday when Key
tesville took it in s to0 on a
muddy field. The most miser-
able day for fans as well as play
ers. But for the storms and
muddy roads the crowd would
have been a record one in this
section of the country for it was
generally known that the clubs
were after each others scalp with
overgrown bats. In spite of the
heavy rains and the miserable
roads. there were a number
from surrounding towns, even
as far as Bosworth, Kansas City,
st. Louis and intermediate towns
present. Marceiine turned out
her regular quota and witnessed
a good game. Not a single run
BY Glasgow spells something and
they and allthe world viii here.
after understand that when
we go after them, we bring
in the scalps. Ahem. Yep.

ter table set apart for the soldier
boys. their lady friends, their
parents, the league president.

his voyage over seas to serve his
country and who died in the base
hospital, Somewhere in France

there.
The banquet speeches savored
of true Americanism and eulog-
les as well as tributes of respect,
were accorded alike to those that
were training in the camps, to
those who served in the Govern.
ment departments, in the home
land and to those who faced the
enemy on the battle fields abroad.
The guests Of honor for whom
this happy occasion was provided
and who were present, were;
Messrs. Edward Meyer, Clarence
Kneuvsn, Brick Coll, Gus Buck
saith, Rudolph Knlhman, August

To their honor let it be said that
leach i'm his own particular sphere
and capacity, served his country

WILL PURCHASE
Is ARMY CAMPS
Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Is
Among Those Ordered
Abandoned

Washington. March 22.-Decision
of the War Department to proceed.
with the purchase of the sites of
fifteen army camps and thirteen ball
loon and flying fields over the coun-
try is announced. Less than S15,-
100000 will be involved. 1t will not
be necessary to await action by
Congress, as the department now
has the necessary funds.
Camp Colt at Gettysburg, Pa, the
site for which was leased and the
camp constructed for a tank corps
at cost of s414,5O0, will be aban-
doned.
Among the national army canton
ments to be purchased for military
purposes are Camp Dix, n. j.; Camp
Gordon, Ga; Camp Lee. Va: Camp
Meade. Md, and Camp Upton, n. Y.
Twenty-seven camps and fifteen
aviation fields will be abandoned.
orders already have gone out for
the abandonment of twenty of the
camps. including nearly all of the
MAJ ional Guard training quarters
set up after the United States de-
clared war on Germany. Con-
struction work on the % camps, ac-
cording to War Department figures,
represents a cost of approximately
$110, 100000, of which $43.0O0,00O
was spent on the four emba rkation
cantonments-Mills, New York, Mer-
rift, New Jersey and Stuart and
Hill, Newport News.
Approximately $3.50, 100000 has
been spent in construction work
on the fifteen cantonments to be
bought and the fifteen now owned
and it was largely because of the
sum involved that the department
decided to go ahead with the pur-
chase. Most of the thirty camps now
are being used as mobilization CEN
ters, but no definite plans for their
employment after the war army is
disbanded have been evolved.
Announcement already has been
made that only two flying fields act
ually would be used in training
army aviators in peace time and that
others purchased or now owned
would become storage plants for
material on hand or under contract
Location of the flying centers to be
retained shows a plan to have three
general training centers, one in the
far west one in the southwestern
part of the country and one in the
