DAIRY INDUSTRY
 IN POOR SHAPE
 FIGURES REVEAL
Alfalfa and PastuTage Much Decreased This Year-6O
 Per Cent of Valley Lands
 Are Now in Cotton

Stating that indications at present are that feed will have to be shipped into the Salt River Valley this year, into a district which once supported many of the finest dairy herds in the country, experts yesterday declared that the dairy industry in the valley s in a critical condition and prob ably in the worst situation it ever has Ueen.
 That the dairy industry is in more dangerous condition this year than last $ evidenced by the fact that this year there are only 10000 acres of valley land planted to alfalfa. Ss against S5.00o last year: and that this year there are but F 900 acres of pasture land, compared with 35.O00 in 1919.
 The dairy situation in the Salt River Valley for some time has been sub- ject of considerable concern among those woh think of the future, and not altogether of the present. The de- ct:ae of the dairy industry here has been simultaneous with. aSd in large part due to, the rise of cotton in the valley, until now men thoroughly in- formed on the subject declare the dairy industry in critical shape.
 Sixty Per Cent of Land in Cotton
 According to authoritative figures obtained by The Republican yesterday, 10000 acres of cotton are planted this year in the Salt River project, whose acreage is about 205, 900. In the whole valley 1S5.000 acres are planted, and it is expected 5000 will be picked, al lowing 10000 acreage for shrinkage. Of the 7.500 farmers in the valley. as compared with 2,229 in 1910. 000 are raising cotton.
 According to these figures, 60 per cent or the approximately 3O0-000 acres under cultivation is planted to cotton. That there has been tremendous in crease in the cotton acreage may be seen by comparing the figures for this year with those for 1919. when but S2,0e0 acres of cotton were planted in he valley, and but 67.00O in tSe project.
 4 Comparison In Production
 Especially significant. however, were he figures given yesterday the production of cotton per acre in the valley. In 1918 the cotton acreage averaged 250 pounds to the acre. Last year production averaged 231 pounds Q the acre.
 River Valley is toward making IL a one-crop district, one expart pointed put yesterday. saying that cotton and she returns it promises are over 54eighing considerations for the future This man went farther. and declared Jhat if valley lands are repeatedly planted to cotton they will he so worn 5ut as to require years to restore to High productive fertility 2 The rotation of crops has been given again and again by exberts as the gne thing that will protect the land from harm through being planted 3ver and over again to cotton.

JACK JOHNSON OFF
FOR CHICAGO JAIL
WITHOUT MANAGES
(By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, July %. Jack
Johnson, former worlds champion
heavyweight pugilist, was bound for
Chicago today in the company Of
federal authorities after years Of self
enforced exile from the United States
following his disappearance while out
on bail after convicted Of violation Of
the Mann Act
Johnson surrendered Tuesday at the
Lower California border. He had been
living at Tijuana, in sight Of the In
ternational boundary, for some time.
Because of Johnson's expressed dis
may at the prospect Of traversing
Texas and Louisiana, federal author-
ties said their original plans calling
for transportation over a southern
route, had been altered. The start
was made over a northern route.
At no time since his surrender has
Johnson been handcuffed, federal Of
f1cers said. Fear of being manacled
had deferred Johnson's surrender
several days, but no promise had been
made that handouts would not be
used the authorities said.
IF I had known all this trouble
would have been brought upon me by
defeating Jim Jeffries, I would have
laid down in Reno just as I did to
Willard in Havana" said Johnson while
in Jail. He won his championship by
knocking out James Jeffries at Reno,
New, in the fifteenth round on July 4,
1910. He held the title until knocked
out in the twenty-sixth round by Jess
Willard at Havana, Cuba, on April 5,
1915.

SANDY HOOK, n. J., July 22.-The
cup challenger Shamrock w, was
towed to the Staten Island shipbuild-
ing company plant early today to be
dry locked. and have her underbody
cleaned in preparation for the fourth
race with the American defender
Resolute tomorrow.
The contest yesterday in which the
two sloops went over the 80 mile
course in exactly the same elapsed
time, has added marked interest to
the contests to come.
Captain Burton. designer Nicholson
and Navigator Claude Hickman, of
the Shamrock, were especially pleased
with what they agree was a wonderful
ly fine race yesterday even if the
challenger lost it on time allowance.
Praises Resolute.
"Resolute is a fine boat" said Mr..
Nicholson land Herreshoff has de-
signed a craft that goes better to
windward than Shamrock. On the run
home before the wind yesterday the
sloops raced along beam to beam as
is they had been locked together. 1t
was a fine race even If we did lose
it."
The race tomorrow will be over a

Raise Right Wheat Crop
Osfrander Tells Farmers

W. A. Ostrander Of the soils and
crops department of Purdue university
gave a valuable talk along soils and
crops lines to the Harrison Township
Farmers Association last Thursday
evening at Hanna's Greek. Mr.. Os-
trander emphasized the fact that
farmers should stick to a variety Of
wheat that millers demand. White
soft wheat and Red Wave are poor
marketing varieties. Every farmer
should make it his business to know
how wheat should be graded.
The leading elevator men Of every
community grade wheat according to
the national grain grading standards
and every farmer has a right to this
proper grading of the grain he sells.
Mr.. Ostrander explained in detail the
proper grading of grains.
The sad lack of manure and clover
on Indiana farms was discussed at
length by Mr.. Ostrander. The wisdom
Of buying high analysis fertilizer in
comparison with low grade was also
discussed. The man who buys a ISL
fertilizer is paying out money foolishly
for lot of excess filler. THE higher
the analysis the cheaper the tndivid-
ual plant food unit" said Mr. Ostrand-
err No fertilizer is high grade unless
it contains at least IA per cent Of total
analysis.

Rich Farmer is True
Title of County Agent

When Mr.. Average Man gets a farm
of $50 acres in Wayne county with
horses, COWS, buildings and implements
as accessories, his neighbors say he is
well fixed" Perhaps he Is, inasmuch
as such an outfit would be worth
about 100000.
But to a county agent $50 acres of
5000 land is only an item. Likewise
1000 bushels Of wheat, 200 head Of
cattle or 100 bushels of potatoes are
matters of everyday appearance to
a county agent.
A county agent counts his acres by
thousands, his farms by hundreds, his
poultry in droves-yet IN a financial
way they mean nothing to him.
For these riches accrue to him
through his job. On behalf of the
state he watches over the agricultural
destinies of about 5000 farmers In the
county.
When Old Dobbin refuses to take
nourishment, when the fruit trees get
"scaly," when a patch Of soil gets
thin" the agent is ready to advise.
All the ailments that a farm is heir
to are brought to his attention. He
travels among the farmers helping
them pitch hay or pillow and offering
the benefits of his bureau in correcting
any mistakes he DISCOVERIES.

There is no pressure of wheat at
the elevators as yet, because the grain
has just begun to move. There is,
however, considerable anxiety for the
future, when filed to capacity.
Brownsville reports all the cars
needed; Fountain City has one car in,
and this is also the case at Williams
burg. Liberty says that they haven't
a car ahead and the outlook is dub
ious. Preble county points are also
anxious" about cars, but it will take
a few days to discover just how great
the car shortage may develop to be.

ALEXANDRIA CONTINUES
TO FACE GAS SHORTAGE
Carload of Coal for Plant Arrives
Today and Efforts Are Made to
Get Further Supply.

Little change has been noticed in the
flow of gas to consumers in Alexandria
today. The city was without gas for
several hours Saturday. and household
ers and small manufacturing plants
We're in sorry straits.
Shortage of coal is given by officials
of the city gas works as the reason
for the inadequate supply in Alexan-
andria. Somewhere between the mines
and Alexandria are several carloads
of coal which have been consigned to
the plant. What has become of them
the officials do not know. They say,
however. that until the plant gets a
sufficient supply the situation will not
be alleviated
The District of Columbia govern
ment came to the rescue Saturday with
two carloads of steam coal. This is
not the type of fuel which makes good
gas, but it was better than none, and
the officials welcomed the gift.
One carload of gas coal arrived in
Alexandria today, but more is urgently
needed: Mayor J. NJ. Duncan took up
the matter with railroad authorities.
with the result that information has
been received that a second carload of
gas fuel is being rushed to the Fir-
ginia city.
