PLUCK CARRIES
FARLEY THROUGH
FIGHT TO DRAW

Outclassed and outweighed, but
with remarkable show Of grit
and science, Dick Farley OF San
Francisco and Portland, won a
draw from fluffy" Wing, Port
land, in their six round bout
which topped the boxing card of
the military meet between COM
pany f of Salem and B company
OF Portland, Oregon national
guard, Saturday night at the ar
mory.
In spite Of the assurance given
BY the promoters of the event, to
the contrary, the headline bout
fell far short of being fight.
Wing didn't fight--he didn't
have to. Farley tried hard, but 1t
was. only because he won the ap-
proyal of the crowd through his
science and pluck. that he was Civ
en- draw.
Same Old Story
The local boxing commission
has a ruling that no two Portland
boxers can mix in the same bout.
Saturday nights main event is a
sample of what will be pulled off
for Salem ring fans, II rule is not
adhered to in all coming fistic
meets.
With the previous experience
Salem has had with Portland pro-
moters and fighters, to expect
fight from their strings Is to pre-
pare for their alibies, and to pro-
vide them meal ticket at the end
of the regular Portland fighting
season.
One thing Salem fans like bet
ter than fights two fights
an exhibition don't go. There must
be haymakers. bleeding noses,
black eyes and somebody put to
sleep. There never has been two
Portland boxers in the ring at the
same time who could, or would,
fill the bill before Salem audi
ence.
Amateur Bouts Good

ming between representatives OF r.
and D companies were well taken.

the bout between Lake, Portland.

on the card. but the decision for

CROP OUTLOOK AS.
SEEN FROM
RALEIGH
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Raleigh, N c., Dec. 12.-The latest
foreign information on crops and
markets indicate for thirteen leading
countries a slight reduction in acre
age of corn, as compared with last
year and the usual, which was 1873,
$4,000 million acres. The production
shows about nine percent decrease
from last years crop in sixteen cour-
tries"
This statement is contained in 4
digest OF official agricultural reports
issued today by Frank Parker, statis
tician Of the North Carolina and Unit
ed States departments of agriculture.
"Europe's production of corn shows
a great decrease" it is stated. "The
United States and Argentina supply
80 percent of the corn entering the
world trade, according to estimates.
These two countries export about the
same quantity in the long average,
twenty percent last year.
:Most classes of livestock are be-
low the pre-war level in number.
"The leading twenty four foreign
countries have experienced the same
general price level since the war
period. The high point was reached
in 1920 and fell until the summer Of
1922. Since then the trend has been
upward again.
eve are thankful that our south
land is being the first to recover from
the distressing]y adverse conditions.
Although cotton is generally lpOor,
North Carolina has a ~ocd crop when
oopci fJoripU tho ,uanv;1 and wp9t thpr
damages. General business has been
much stimulated.
"This years national corn crop is
back to the 1916-192O average and
prices are much better than last years
over production The Irish potato crop
is distressingly large. Many fields in
the western States will not be dug
at all. Rotting is bad with both the
white and sweet potatoes. Prices of all
potatoes are very low.
''The present outlook for tobacco is
considerably below the 1916-1920 aver
age but twenty eight percent more
than last years small crop. North
Carolina prices are six cents per pound
higher than 1921 average of twenty
| five percent. The cotton crop, which
is reconed at 100000 bales is twenty
five percent more thon made last year
but also is less than the consumption
| needs. The shortage is reflected in the
price level.
"It is Of especial interest to note
that about IL percent more productloi
of all the crops is made this year thar
last, but that we have no more .tha1
the fiveyear average production, the
digest states.
