IOWA MAN WINS FORTUNE FROM
 CANADIAN SOIL

 REGINA, Sask., July 29.--Back in 1907 a farmer boy bundled his bride and his hopes in white-topped prairie schooner and turned north ward from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They followed the road straight into Sas katchewan, settled on a tract near here and were soon head over heels" in debt
 That was fourteen years ago. This year the profits of the once penni less youth will run into many thous ands of dollars. He is being hailed n Canada and other nations as a world champion wheat and oats grower.
 James S. Fields won second prize for wheat at the 1915 Denver inter national show; first prize and sweep takes at the 1917 Peoria exposition second prize at the big international in Chicago in 1919, and took first prize at Kansas the same year. First prizes and sweepstakes for oats were won at the Kansas City and Chicago expositions in 1919.
 To the scientific development work of MT. Fields is partly attributed the enlarge acreage production in the 'ich district along the line of the Canadian National railways. Upon lis shoulders this year rests the task If making wheat growing more prof. table in New Zealand. The govern ment has sent a cargo of his best seed to that country.
 He has followed a simple system of plotting grain for special seed, a sys. 'cm which has resulted in agrcul. .ural experts placing him among the few grain wizards of the world This year he will try for premier honors lt the big international Grain and Hay Show at Chicago. The prizes. offered by the Chicago board uG trade, total $Io.0oo His wheat was 1e high as fifty bushels to on acre. vhrc a twcnty.acre tract Of selected pats seed returned liz bushels 10 the acre.
 The Fields farm is one of the western Canadian show places. It is a composite example of scientific grain raising and mixed farming, the aim of every f@rmer in the west. It represents the determination of a poor farmer boy.

RADIO CONTROL OF BATTLESHIP
 IS SUCCESSFUL
(By Associated Press)

] WASHINGTON, July 29. The ef- ficient performance of the battleship
 Iowa under radio control during re-
 cent aerial bombing tests may lead to revolutionary changes in naval devel-
 opment, officers believe. Without soul on board the Iowa was maneu.
 vered from the battleship Ohio, 5
 miles away with the utmost precision
 and there was NOT a hitch in the
 mechanism in more than two hours
 while the Iowa was being bombed.
 It was a scientific triumph. The
 Iowa was a real Flying Dutchman,"
 that mythical crewless ghost of the
 seas, as she obeyed the will of Cap
 tain F. l.. Chadwick on the Ohio, al
 most hull down on the horizon. The invsiable, magic fingers of the rad
 io reached out across the sea to whirl the Iowas steering wheel, operate the
 fuel oil and water supply valves and
 start and stop the ship,
 So perfectly did the control function
 that the officer on the Ohio maneu. vered the Iowa away from the attack 1 ing air forces at the moment the 1 bombs were being released, varying
 the speed of the target vessel at will. Army and navy officers who witnes-
 sed the test were much impressed by
 the possibilities of development of
 the radio control idea for use in fut-
 ure wars. It was said to be apparent
 that radio control might eliminate
 some loss of life in such enterprises as block ship" operations as when the British undertook at Zocbrugge land Ostcnd t0 bottle up German sub. marines The block ship" of the fut- urc it was pointed out might sail se- renely into an enemy harhor without a soul on board and be sunk to ob- struct its channel by the electrical explosion for her magazines.
 Already the navy is working out plans for shifting control at will from a surface vessel like the Ohio to air craft. either heavier or lghterthan- air The radio control device on the Ohio is so simple. officers say, that . little difficulty is anticipated in adap- ting if for use in an airplane or a dir igihle When this development is worked out. the controlling aircraft will be able to work at an altitude of 10. GOO feet and above. safe from any gunfire from below. and steer the controlled vessel anywhere on the sea
 within fuel ardius.
 A movement is afoot to install ra- dio control on at least one more ah- solute hattleship and two old destroy
 CTS 10 serve as targets for atrial bombing practice and further eXperi. ments with radio control Extension of experiments to the possibility of ap- plying the radio control idea that giant. crewless bombing planes, load ed with high explosives could b.
 launched against naval vessels. cities and forts with NO costly sacrifice of trained officers and men.
 The entire radio control idea, post war development, in its present ap- | plication is in its infancy naval of flcers believe, and they expect great
 improvements in efficiency and scope
 of control within a few years.

YANKEE OWNERS DENY
SLUMP IN BASEBALL
Say 1921 Attendance Is Keeping
Well Up to the Mark

New York, July 15.-Colonels Rup-
pert and Huston, owners of the New
York Yankees, have followed up the
statements Of John A. Heydler, presi-
dent of the National League, and
Charles A. Stoneham. president Of the
New York Giants, that this years base
ball attendance Is up to normal with
the following announcement
Apparently the baseball attendance
has slightly fallen off during the last
few weeks. but we believe that it is due
merely to business depression. However.
we have nothing to complain Of regard
ing our attendance.
Last year was an abnormal baseball
year. Our 1921 attendance is keeping
well up to that mark. In forty games
played at home this year the attendance
was about 10000 more than with the
same teams in the same number of games
last year, but in forty games irrespec-
tive of clubs the attendance is under
5000 less than last year.
I'VE believe the Yankees outdrew all
clubs In either league last year, both at
home and abroad and we believe we
have done likewise so far this year, and
we further think that the attendance of
the American League as a whole would
not suffer by comparison"
