WHEAT GROWING
PROSPECTS FAIR
HEAD TO CONE

HEAD TO COME -
The wheat growing prospects for
the valley, with particular reference
to milo maize, promises TO be one Of
the most tick!ish for stockmen this
year that it has ever been since the
industry assumed important proper
tions in the valley.
Up to June of 1919 the government
has, during the period or the war,
put guaranteed price upon all wheae
products, which made it an object for
growers to raise many large crops Of
wheat, and the acreage planted to
wheat last year was approximately
$4,000.
This year, according to figures COM
piled by Harry Cuthbertson of Albers
Brothers, there is small likelihood that
there will be more than 10. 600 acres
put in wheat because of the high
prices now being obtained for cotton.
There was between $4,000 and 10000
acres of milo maize grown in the val
ley ,ast year, most of which was
shipped out, while there is at present
remaining of last years crop about
5000 tons.
The wheat acreage this year will
be more or less scattered. many grow
ers blowing up their wheat for the
purpose of planting cotton Of both
varieties, The coming milo crop will
probably approximate $4,000 acres,
including barley.
1t is estimated by Dr. W. o. John
son Of the farm bureau that the

of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber COM

growers in the valley for $4,000 acres
of long staple cotton, the stipulated
price to be not less than 60 cents per
pound. the grower reserving the right
TO sell to the highest bidder when the
crops are matured.
One of the chief problems confront
ing the growers of long staple cotton
is the labor problem, according to DR..
Johnson, and it is said that growers
of the valley viii be forced to import
a large number of Mexicans into the
valley the same as is done in the
Yuma and Salt River valleys duript
the cotton picking season.
Owing to last years early frosts
both milo maize and other grains did
not mature, with the present wear
the crop acreage is more or less prob

have shown q marked tendency to-
ward the purchase Of government
thrift stamps and war savings GER
tificates, according to the instruct
ors OF the school. As an incentive
during war savings week, the
pupils have been requested to write
themes, with the subject - How

most every student owned thrift
stamps or war savings certificates.
The themes which have to be
written are to be handed to the
instructors today and after judging
them, the four best articles will be
read before . general assembly Of
the school.

ably be held tomorrow, but owing
to pressing business matters. men
of the city whom she interviewed
we're unable to accept the invita-
ton to speak to the students. 1t IS
not known whether or not speak
er will be secured.

MRS. OSBORN IS
GUILTY OWNING
UNHEALTHY FLAT


Five Tenants Of the Osborn mats
at 1917 Second avenue, Moline,
were arraigned today on charges
Of violating city sanitary ordinance.
The tenants admitted insanitary
conditions, but each defendant
claimed someone else was respon-
sible. Charges against the tenants
were dismissed.
Mrs. Eva Osborn, $50 Sixteenth
street, owner of the fats, was
found guilty of maintaining build
ing unfit for human habitation.
Mrs. Osborn was at police station
but did not appear in court. the
tenants were in court and were
loud in denunciation OF the land
lady and demanded that she be
brought into court.
James Johnston. city attorney,
declared that to permit conditions
such as those in the Osborn hats
is a shame and "to defend thing
of this kind is to deprive people of
human rights" The arrests OF the
tenants and Mrs. Osborn were made
following investigations by Levin
Lindblad, city health inspector, and
Paul Skoog, director Of the state
health now in progress in Moline.
George W. Wood, attorney for
Mrs. Osborn, stated that Mrs. Os-
born is not responsible for condi-
tons and alleges that the tenants
are to blame.
Magistrate Gustafson declared
the building should be condemned.
He warned the tenants that all
would be fined the next time condi-
tons are found to be insanitary in
the building.

TO SHOW HOW
SPRAYING Of
Trees HELPS
Farm Bareau Purchases Apparatns
for Demonstration Work In
County.

P. s. Richey. farm advisor OF the
Mercer county farm bureau. an
nounces the purchase by the farm
organization of a pump for spray
ing purposes, to be used in demon
stration OF the work on orchards
throughout the county. The farm
bureau will choose one or two or
chards and will demonstrate by
actual work, the aid and results
which come from spraying fruit
trees. 1t in said that thousands Of
dollars worth of fruit has been lost
in Mercer county, because Of me-
glect Of the trees. The farm BIZ
rean intends to aid the owner OF
the orchard in saving the trees.
Inspection of orchards by repre-
sentatives of the farm bureau will
be made upon request and recon-
mendation for treatment OF trees
will be made. 7; would be impos-
sible for the farm bureau TO spray
all the orchards Of the county. but
the next best thing will be done.
The organization is urging the
purchase of spraying apparatus by
communities under the organ'za-
tons supervision. The commun-
ity farms could then spray their
own trees and the same result
would be had as If member OF
the county Office handled the work.
Inspections and recommendation
are expected to be followed by
good results throughout the
county.
Owing to the sudden change N
the weather, it may be several
days before actual demonstration
work can be started. But accord
ing to MIR. Ricney, as soon as the
weather will permit. demonstra-
tons will be started on one or two
orchards in the county. Appliea-
ton for inspections and recommen-
dations are expected to be received
in the office in a few days. Much
enthusiasm has been aroused
throughout the county over the OPP
portunity to increase the orchard
production and many farmers are
waiting the chance to spray their
orchards.
