The United States Department Of
Agriculture reports that the Irish po-
tato crop has been damaged by the
long continued drouth and heat, and
the yield will be light The yield of
early potatoes was generally disap-
pointing. The condition of sweet po-
tatoes is promising and a good crop
is expected. Early varieties are being
marketed. The yield of all tree fruit
will be extremely light throughout the
eastern and central belt of the coun-
try. The corn, oats and wheat crops

Thee United States Department of
Agriculture, through the Bureau of
Public Roads, has about 12.5O0.00o
pounds of salvaged picric acid to dis
tribute free among land owners to
land clearing operations.
This explosive was used in large guam
titles during the world war. Because
of its high cost of manufacture it
cannot be classed as an agricultural
explosive; but as a sa1vaged war ma
terial it is recommended to farmers
who can obtain it at a lower cost than
they would have to pay for commercial
explosives. The only charges made by
the government will be for packing
and transportation. For particulars

As Beat Tanks

Philadelphia, Aug. 13.-A few days ego the lowy but not meek Athletics gave the Clevelands a beating which pulled them out of first place; yester- day they inflicted that indignity on the Yankees. A five run lead held by the Yankees lasted no longer than 1t takes to tell 1t, and the Athletics won the game, 8 to 6.
 Recently a good many runs have been needed to win for New York pitchers Waite Hoyt, who has lost his last three games found five run margin insufficient. He withered fast once he began to go, but there were as baneful influences as he. Bad work around the infield helped to lose this ball game.
