This States wheat crop on July 1
was 60 percent of normal crop
prospect and the corn prospect is 80
percent normal, according to the Co
operating Crop Reporting Service
here.
"Of the wheat crop, the report
says: THE States wheat crop shows
, 60 percent of a normal crop prospect.
This is 81 percent below the condi-
! tion July 1 last year and 25 percent
below the 10-year average on July
/. The indicated production of a A.
705,0 900 bushels is about As percent
less than the official December esti-
mate for the 1920 crop, and 10 per-
cent less than the forecast on June
l of this year.
"At the present price of $1.51 per
bushel the crop will be worth ST.
1O4,55O."
| The crop reporters estimate that
the North Carolina corn crop will net
$64, ,576,700 provided an average of
SO cents per bushel is received for
the 55,12S,O00 bushels forecast.
! The preliminary cotton estimate of
the States crop shows a 26 percent
decrease since last year, or 1,1S6,OOO
acres.
North Carolina's fire loss, exclusive
of forest fires, for June was $313,-
76O. In May the totals were $3S5,-
900 and in April, $1,24S,O0O. The
total loss for the first six months of
+, the present year was $3,713,SS2.
; But for the burning of a lumber
plant near New Bern with a loss of
$15O,O0O nearly half the loss OF the
State for the month, and an iron
works at Wilmington valued at $751;
900, that June loss would have been
wonderfully encouraging, Commits
sioner Wade says.
Other principal losses were at
Richlands, where stores burned
valued@at srs, 500; AshevilIe, garage
and damaged hotel, s1O,02O; States
vile one building and 1ve brick
stores damaged, $4,000 and the Dud-
ley residence at Wilmington, which
was $4,000 loss.
! Single roofs and cracked flues,
the commissioner says, caused a ma
jority OF the fire losses during the
last 80 days.

GOV. OF PORTO RICO


Kansas City, Mo-, July 11.-From
q residence on a quiet street in Kan
sas City, e. Mont Reilly is moving to
a palace in the tropics, a palace built
In the year 1915, with thirty-fve

President Harding appointed his
friend Mont" Riley a few weeks
ago. Governor Reilly sails for his new
domain July 10, to take up the task
OF colonial administration that has
been assigned to him. He has already
devoted considerable time and
xhought to the problems of Porto
Rico and has tentatively formulated
"a number of policies which he hopes
90 carry out.

and completely American as any state

Cony High boys will go to Bath
today for return game of baseball
with Morse High of that city this
afternoon. To be sure, Cony easily
beat the shipping city boys in the
game here, but it is very natural that
on the home grounds things may be
different, SO Coach Thompson has
been giving the squad some heavy
practice during the past few days
and he says that the boys were never
in better condition to show up well
and is confident that they will re-
turn winners of this game also.
Rideout will start things going for
Cony in the box and will he backed
up by Austin. Other members of the
team who will make the trip will be
Drawn, harrington, Stafford, Poor,
Brennan, Ellis, Maurice Roderick,
Murray Roderick and Plummer.
The boys will leave the city in the
morning at about ten o'clock from
the school grounds and will go by
automobile. 1t is expected that quite
a goodly number of supporters will
also accompany them.

ular decision over Woonsocket Joe
Gibbs. in double six, the main bout
of the weekly show of the Dover Ath-

night. AS the show was held on

under the law of that State. The
fans however showed that they were
largely with the Maine boy.
Both boys fought a hard, gruelling
battle with Pooler's left in Gibbs
stomach all the way. Gibbs was un-
able to box with Pooler and kept tear
ing in to close quarters only to be set
back with straight left to the mid
section. Twice in the last three
rounds Pooler crossed his right but
could not land the sleep pill. 1t was
a game fight that the Rhode Island
boy put up, taking a bad beating as
Pooler landed a good many stiff wal
lcps to his down stairs section.
In the last three rounds Pooler
drove his man all over the ring fore

his man all the way. On his agrees

Ruth Objects to
Paving Boston Tax

Boston. May Baseball fans the
country over have known for two
years that Babe Ruth had trans
ferred his batting headquarters from
Boston to New York, but city hall
learned of it officially today. Served
in his bathtub this morning with a
warrant for unpaid taxes of 1921
on his automobile for two years, the
outfielder protested that he had not
been a resident of this city since the
fall of 1919. His objection unavail-
ing. he dressed in haste, took the
constable into his automobile and
whirled to City hall. The mayor
was not in to hear his protest. The
city tax collector however, had
heard that Ruth was playing with
the New York Yankees and ar
ranged for him to certify that the
assessment was in error.
Mice of them to keep me on as
citizen of Boston, but rather rough
on me to ask me to pay for the privi-
lege," Ruth remarked as he left city
hall.
