Amy Kind of Wheat In
Ohio Fields, Says Stranger

Until rather recently comparatively
little attention has been given to the
particular variety of wheat that is
grown by the Ohio farmer. Ordinarily
in past years the farmer grew merely
wheat, and If he had been asked to
give the name of IT. he very likely
would have said: We'll, I didn't know
the right name of it, but l got the
seed at the elevator a year or two ago
and l think it is pretty good wheat"
says Professor w f. Hanger, Ohio
State Agricultural college, in a bull
letin.
OF course, Professor Hanger says,
the farmer knew whether it was beard
ed wheat or a smooth wheat, but be-
yond that point he gave little thought
to the kind.
According to Professor Hanger. a
rather close observation Of the fields
of wheat even now in any community
of the state just before harvest time
reveals some rather interesting condi-
tions. On almost any road in any
county in the state one is confronted
by the lack of uniformity in the vari-
Gus wheat fields.
1t would seem that the logical thing
for the farmers IN community to do
~y to decide on one or two varieties
mat are good ones and we'll adapted to
the locality and eliminate all others.

WHEAT LOOKS BETTER
: And BETTER; JULY AIS
FIRST CUTTING DATE
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

There is always some rivalry among
threshing crews and farmers as to the
honor of being first to thresh crop,
and the first to deliver at the mill. The
present indications are that some
farmer in Boston township is likely to
carry off that honor, "but you never
can tell"
1t is possible that some Wayne
fields may be cut before Sunday, July
4, but not very likely. At any rate
the harvest will not begin seriously
until after that date, after which 1t
will soon be a continuous perform
ance. Now and then an elevator man
will put the first cutting at from 10
to Is days, but the general guess puts
the opening days of harvest at least
two weeks away.
Telephone calls covering Eaton.
Camden and Eldorado, Ohio, all tell
of an improvement in wheat fields and
a better crop in sight than was con-
sidered likely few weeks ago. This
is also true as to Dublin, Hagerstown,
Boston, Centerville and on as far north
as Economy and Modoc.
All Have Had Rain.
There is a much better feeling on
account of the late rains. The farm
crop outlook is very promising, in
spite or the lateneSS OF the season IN
less some calamity befalls we are to
have a good corn crop in Wayne. The
dry days gave splendid opportunity to
roll and cultipack, and since the show
ers corn has made rapid growth.
More and Better Wheat.
The improvement in wheat does not
mean a large" crop, though here and
there a farmer will harvest 20 to 80
tbsuhel grain. 1t does mean, how
ever, more wheat and better wheat

The Farm and
the Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANsoRN

How soon do you think your wheat
harvest will begin?' was asked of
H. L. Trick, elevator manager at Ell
dorado. Ohio. Il don't think we shall
cut any wheat around. EldOrado until
July 5. Wheat has improved a whole
lot of late. and should make around
Is bushels"
Mr.. Trick says that they have
bought 1900 bushels of old wheat
lately and that they know of about
1900 bushels still in farmers hands.
Wheat Outlook at Boston.
The manager of the Kitchell Gle
vator at Boston said he judged that
they would begin cutting wheat in
about two weeks. He said that west
of Boston there is some surprisingly
good wheat, estimates it running be
tween 20 and 80 bushels. "Will Miller,
living west of Boston, tells us that he
will cut a 25 bushel crop. East of
town the outlook isn't quite so good"
The kitchell elevator folks have
taken in 5000 bushels of wheat in the
past ten days and say that there is
still upward of 1000 bushels in farm
granaries.
Wheat Thin at Camden.
The Farmers Cooperative elevator
IOlhS at NdIlueu sdy LudI "ullS 1t is
possible some formers may get in with
their binders before July 5, that this
is doubtful, but they expect cutting to
begin about that time. They also re-
port still taking in old wheat They
are not expecting a great many oats;
say straw is short and expect oats
to be a little late this season"

The central figure is Speed" Carr,

During the filming of Told in the

scenario called for Mr.. Warwick to be

The picture was photographed in the

after some difficulty, persuaded to act

Immediately became much attached to
Major Warwick, admiring his splendid
physique, his brilliant horse manship,
and his skill with q rifle.
All Of which is very gratifying -
said Major Warwick. Ann Little is his
leading woman.

Alice Joyce, the star Of The Sport
ing Duchess" which is showing at the
Murray theater the last half of the
week, is an expert archer. 1t is one Of
her pastimes and she enjoys it more
than golf and tennis, although few can
excel her at these.
The star regrets that archery is not
a more general sport. 1T trains eye,
mind and hand" she says, "and brings
body and mind into coordination. It
is one of the most fascinating prac-
tees l have ever tried and now that
