HARVEST REPORTS
Wheat Yield Generally Holding Up
Above 40 Bushels on Irrigated
Lands.

AS the threshing season progresses
the reports coming in from the thresh-
ing outfits continue to show splendid
results for the seasons wheat crop,
and the average yield for the irrigat-
ed acreage is keeping up above the
forty bushels per acre mark A few
fields show less, but the majority show
more, and it is evident the average is
above that mark. The non-irrigated
wheat is in all but a very few in
stances that we have heard of running
above ten bushels, and some farms are
showing more than twenty bushels.
The average will certainly be above
twelve bushels. Ii these figures,
forty bushels for the irrigated and
twelve bushels for the non-irri-
gated be applied to the entire acreage
of the county, the crop for this seas
on will be over 100000 bushels or
more than double the largest crop ever
raised in the county. Ii means over
a million dollars paid out for the crop
in Prowers county or more than the
highest amount ever received even
during the big days of war prices.
The following figures have been re-
ceived since last report:
p. G. Martin, AZ bushels per acre.
Paul Idler, 2S bushels.
Smiley Irwin, 30 bushels.
Lee Gist, 81 bushls.
o. G. Shinn, 43 bushels.
Carl Shinn, 38 bushels.
Elmer Buchtel, 80 bushels.
Lin McShane. 45 bushels.
f. l.. Girard, so bushels.
The farmers are now all busy spray
ing for worms on the sugar beets. The
crop has been looking fine, but the
worms have suddenly commenced to
make considerable inroads upon the
crop and the farmers taking advant-
age of last years experience have
commenced to spray at once.

Auto Licenses Heavy.

The secretary Of states report of
motor licenses issued for 1921 up to
August l discloses the fact that the
tight money market is having little
effect on the business of burning up
the gasoline supply. There had been
almost as many licenses issued in sew
en- months this year as in the entire
twelve months of 1920. For Prowers
county there were 1929 licenses issued
for autos and 81 for trucks or total
of 2Ol6. In Baca there were just an
even thousand, 1863 autos and 1877
trucks. In proportion to population
Baca county has any county in the
state beat for trucks. The report ex-
plodes the theory that the auto is
more popular in the city than country,
because in proportion to population,
Denver has not its full share of either
autos or trucks, but is long on motor
cycles.

day, Miss Margaret Wagner, who
taught in the Lamar schools for sew

was injured so severely that she is
not expected to live. Miss Wagner
was driving the car at the time. and
recovered consciousness long enough
after being taken to the hospital to
explain that she did not see the train
until it was too late to avoid it. Her
sister and a friend were also in the
car and were badly injured.

Labor Day, September s, is to be
the great day of the year because La
mar Lodge No. 1919, B. P. o. Elks,
is going to make it so. All Elks are
urged to come to Queen Beach on that

"a rounds of boxing contests before
the big supper in the evening, and
then there will be the grandest dis
play Of fireworks ever seen in this
section and big dance at the pavilion
in the evening.
Another big feature that will be
pulled off during the program will be
a grand water carnival on the Queen

North Dakota Election.

The North Dakota recall election is
assured. 1t probably will be held on
Tuesday, November /. Enough sig
natures are on the petition to make it
necessary under the recall law. The
recall is aimed at Gov. Frazier, Attor-
ney-General Lenke, and Labor Com
missioner Hagen. These three are
members of the State Industrial Com
mission, which, under Non-Partisan
League political control, became vest
ed with extensive power. There are
no democrats or republicans in North
Dakota when this issue is involved.
II Is a question of being for or against
the Non-Partisan League and the In
dustrial Commission.
The recall election will be of more
than statewide interest. Not only has
there been immediate effect felt by
banks and business concerns quite gen.
orally from the North Dakota situa-
tion, but students of economics and
particularly those interested in what
really has been an experiment in state
wide socialism have followed develop
ments closely.
At present the Bank of North Da-
kota is not paying checks drawn on ii
by its depositors. Not n tap of work
is being done by the Mill and Elevator
Association, which has a half-built
mill and elevator, into which about n
million has SO far been put. The
Home Building Association has stop
ped work, and the various, other enter
prises, such as chains of newspapers
and grocery stores, that We're to bring
untold happiness to the farmers while
knocking down the hated money pow
er, all are dormant Everywhere over
the state there is disgust.
Non-Partisan League people have
kept their adherents pretty well in
line by saying that as soon as the
state bonds were sold. activities would
be resumed by all these various aux
iliaries, but the bonds have been Of
fered extensively in New York and
Chicago and nobody seems TO want
them.
Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Washing
ton and other western states are con-
graduating themselves that they were
able to defeat the plans of the Non
Partisan League leaders during the
past four years. The league is now
opening campaign in Oregon.

games in a row. One game they lost
to a regular salaried team which is in
perfect condition at all times. The
other they lost through a dago trick
of bunch of cheap sports in dago
town.
The La Junta champions of the Ar
kansas Valley League came down last
Thursday and took a game from the
home boys because they are regular
professional team. better seasoned and
steadier under fire The game was a
fine one for five Innings, both sides
playing fine ball and the score being 3
to ia favor of Lamar. In the sixth
some poor umpiring and several drop
ped flies in the outfield started the
team on the hummer and they all
blew up before it was over. The game
from that on was one sided and La
Junta won by score of ~ to 4. The
game was delayed some by an injury

Lamar. He split his thumb in the
eighth, but after the injury was dress

there. The Lamar team had the game
7 to 3 in the last half of the ninth
when they put the third Trinidad play
er out on n double play at first and
second. Cummings at second put the
ball on the runner three feet off the
base but the umpire would not allow
it. Even the Trinidad papers admitted
il was a bad error, but the umpire
gave as his excuse that Trinidad WAS
entered in the Post tournament and
could not afford to lose that game.
He then commenced to call everything

batters caught on and waited them
out and as result put over the five
runs needed to win.

GOOD NEWS FOR VALLEY
Both Railroad and Loan Bank Hear
ings in Washington Look Favor
able for Our Farming
Interests.

There have been two important hear
ings in Washington the past week in
both of which the farming industry of
the Arkansas Valley are deeply in
terested, and in both of which the val
ley was ably represented.
The freight rate hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
ably managed with the farmers inter
ests in charge of able men from all
sections of the plains territory com
prising the states of Kansas. Nebras-
ka, Colorado. New Mexico, Utah. Wy
Dakotas. Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace took the lead in presenting
the farmers case, and insisted that it
was not a case entirely Of the rail-
roads not paying dividends, but that
under the present conditions the farm
ers and allied industries are not pay
ing dividends either. He insisted that
until present conditions are adjusted
and the country energies from the de-
preston brought Oh by the terrible
waste during the war, that all indus
tries must divide the loss and pull
through together. This is the quick
est and surest way to a return of
prosperity. He says the present freight
rates are putting the entire burden
on the farming industry and must be
adjusted. The Colorado interests were
represented by Manager F. NJ. Wilson
of the d. A NJ & P. Co. and Senator
Harry Cassaday. Mr. Wilson. who has
just returned from week spent at
the national capital, informs US that
the general sentiment seemed to be
that the case had been extremely well
managed by Secretary Wallace and a
reduction was believed to be sure. 1t
will probably place the freight rates
of alfalfa hay and products where they
were previous to the raise last Aug
ust that paralyzed the industry. The
removal of the war tax January ! q.
will be small help in addition.
The second hearing was that secur-
ed by Congressman Hardy and Senator
Phipps and Nicholson for the ditch
companies of the valley in the matter
of loans for repairing flood damages.
President Lassater and Chairman Lob
dell of the board of directors and Di-
rector F. NJ Wilson and other diree-
tors were present. The regulations,
which had prevented the companies
getting loans from the Wichita Farm
Loan Bank, heretofore, were gone over
again thoroughly. and the evidence of
the needs Of the bitches and their
strong standing financially consider
ed The rules were so modified that
it is believed most of the companies
will be able to secure funds. Mr.. VIII
son is much encouraged over the out
look and feels assured that both hear
ings will result in much good for the
Arkansas valley He says that he was
much impressed by the harmony ex-
isting in the Colorado delegation and
the earnest way they were looking af-
ter the best interests of their state.
