Talbert owns dry farming ranch
on Upper Current creek adjoining
the McClelland property. and it was
because of this community of inter

men resulted. Talbert raised a con-
siderable crop of potatoes last year,

High Wheat Prices Seen.

Wheat prices will remain high during
1920. in the opinion Of Government spe-
cialists who analysed the April report Of
the Bureau Of Crop Estimates on the con-
dition and probable yield Of winter wheat.
Various factors indicate the 1920 har-
vest will produce enough grain to satisfy
normal American needs and an average
export demand. Overproductiun. which
would bring surplus tending to force
down prices. is not in prospect.
The domestic consumption of wheat is
650.000,000 bushels annually. allowing
100000 bushels for seed and allowing
for a carry-over or reserve, The average
prewar export demand was 105,000.000
bushels. To satisfy these requirements
a winter wheat yield of 483. 1917 900 bush
ell, is in sight, and spring wheat crop
which cannot yet be estimated. Previous
experience would indicate the spring crop
will be around 250.000000 bushels. how
ever.
Thus, to satisfy total demands of $780,
100000 bushels a yield of 735,000,000
bushels is in sight
It is true there remain on farms stocks
which on June are expected to be l00,-
100000 bushels. This is not considered
an excessive carry-over. however, since
reserves were depleted during the war to
an extent which would have been consid-
cred unwise had the emergency been less
pressing.

Find Eight-Hour Day Costly.

Arguments that establishment OF the
6-hour day would result in as large, OF
greater, outputs as the ten or twelve-hour

France is concerned, by an investigation
conducted by the ministry Of commerce
Those VIII, have made study of the French
worker and know his inherent antipathy
to being converted into machine are not
surprised by the conclusion that produc-
ton is decreased in exact proportion to
the reduction in the hours of labor.

Forecasts Falling Off In Winter
Wheat Crop.

A severe winter. the Hessian fly and an

Department. of Agriculture forecast places
the crop at 4s3.6i7,OO0 bushels, com.
pared with 73i.6S6.O00 bushels last year
The acreage planted was not as great al
the year before. but larger crop than
forecast was anticipated.
In the principal producing States--Kan-
sas, Illinois. Missouri. Indiana and Ohio
the condition Of the crop on April ranged
from SO to rs per cent. Of a normal. CON-
pared with a lO-year average range OF
from 70 to 30. For the country as whole
the condition was 75.6 per cent. Of nor.

A. M. Wood Out OF Race, Gives
Support To Mish.

Declaring that it would be unfortunate
for the Democratic party to have primary
at this time and use up the energy and
power that will be so vital in the coming
campaign, Justice of the Peace Alban M.
Wood, who has been candidate to sue
coed Congressman Frederick N. Zihlman.
has withdrawn in favor Of State Senator
Frank Mish, of Washington county. This
insures the nomination Of Senator Mish
without opposition. 1t is generally thought
that Congressman Zihlman will have no
opposition in the primaries Immediately
upon withdrawal Mr.. Wood sent Senator
Mish letter, in part, as follows:
Some weeks ago contemplated running
for Congress in the Democratic primary
and at that time there seemed to be no
other available candidate. Since then,
however. you have indicated your willing
ness to make the fight in the Sixth district.
II have consulted with friends through
out the district and have given the matter
thoughtful consideration. have come to
the conclusion that 1t would be extremely
unfortunate for the Democratic party to
have primary contest at this time and
thereby use up the energy and power that
will be so vital in the coming campaign.
II am also thoroughly convinced that
your stand upon the Volstead act is the
same as mine would have been. and It is
this issue that intended basing princi-
pally the whole campaign, believing, as
do, that the people will not long tolerate
fanatical legislation"
Party leaders are Of the opinion that
there will be no Congressional contest in
the Sixth district The belief is general
that the Senatorial nominees will be John
Walter Smith. incumbent, and o. E. Weller
II is probable that scramble will take
place for a delegate from the Sixth dis
trict to the national conventions.
The indications are that the wet" anC
"dry" issue will cut considerable figure il
the Congressional campaign in this dis
trict. Mr.. Mish is understood to be aeains
the Volstead act.
