WHEAT CROP TO BE SHORT
st. Louis Man Declares Farmers Who
Expect IS to 20 Bushels Per Acre
viii Be Disappointed.

Farmers Of southwest Missouri are
inclined to be too optimistic regard
ing their 1922 wheat crop, is the opin-
ion of Bob DeArmond Of st. Louis,
who is connected with the DeArmond
Grain company there. Many farmers
in this section, believing they nave a
crop that will average 18 to 20
bushels an acre, will be disappointed
when they thresh and check up to find
they will get only II to 10 bushels, he
said.
Mr.. DeArmond has spent the last
two days in southwestern Missouri
counties, inspecting wheat fields in
the various parts Of the district, In
the interests of the grain company.
"The average yield in this section
will be IL to 13 bushels an acre and
the highest will not be over II BUSH
els" Mr.. DeAmond said last night.
"The average yield for this section is
10 bushels and this years crop will be
larger than usual, but it will not be
as large as expected"
Wheat in this section Of the coun-
try ripened prematurely, Mr.. Dear.
mond said. 1t grew well during the
cooler days and the heads had just
began to form when the heat wave
struck, ripening the grain before it
was fullv naatured.
The average grade Of wheat in
this section will be number three, he
said, while the average test would rot
be more than 81 pounds to the bushel
The fields near Aurora and Mount
Vernon show promise of larger
yield, with a better test, Mr.. De-
Almond said.
Missouri will be extremely FORUM
ate to produce total crop of $5,000,-
900 this year, Mr.. DeArmond said.
While state agricultural officials pre-
dict a total yield OF approximately
48,000,O00 bushels, Mr.. DeArmond be-
lieves this figure is about $4,000 1000
too high.
Dade and Lawrence counties will
have the heaviest yield of the coun-
ties in southwest Missouri, Mr.. De-
Almond said.

BOARD sLAsHEs
RAIL PAYR0LLS
Clerks, Signal Mems and Stationary
Engineers Salaries Are Cut From
- to 6 Cents an Hour.

Chicago, June 16.-Pruning nearly
$27, 100000 from the annual payroll
of 325,000 railway employees by cut
ting salaries of clerks, signal men and
stationary firemen from 2 to cents
an hour, the United States railroad
labor board today announced another
wage slash, bringing the total reduc-
tion under the boards orders up to
$135,000, 900, beginning July 1,
The clerks were cut and cents an
hour, according to their classification,
the signal men cents and the fire
men 2 cents.
Approximately 100000 railroad
employees will share the total reduc-
tion, which will result in a strike vote
of ten railway labor bodies. The vot-
ing already is under way in seven
unions and the other three affected
by today's order are expected to mail
their ballots Immediately.
A dissenting opinion, protesting
against any reduction, was included
i'm the decision, as was the case in
the two previous cuts for the main
tenance Of way laborers and the shop
men. The minority decision today
signed by Arthur 0. Wharton and
Albert Phillips,x both labor members,
w. L. McManimen. third member of
the labor group, is in the east on an
investigation trip for the board.
Definite recognition Of a Giving
wage" and Saving wage" was made
for the first time by the board in
today's decision.
Although abnormal postwar con
ditions were pointed out as obstruc-
tions to fixing any scientific living
or saving wage at present, the board
declared that as soon as this condition
cleared way it would "give increased
consideration to all the intricate de-
tails incident to the scientific adjust
ment of such wage"

WILL IMPROVE NEOSHO-
ANDERSON ROADWAY

The commissioners of the Neosho
special road district have received
from the Government and State be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 due this dis
trict. This money will be expended
in three miles of road from Neosho
south to the corner Of the Mahin farm
following the Neosho and Anderson
road, or north and south highway. 1t
is our understanding that the road is
not to be completed, but that it will
DE improved, necessary concrete cpl
verts being installed, sharp corners
eliminated and the whole road put in
good condition, with the expectation
that itgwill be made a part Of the
north and south route through the
county and probably be part Of the
1900 miles of cement hard surfaced
primary state roads to be designated
by the State Highway Commission.
This work is to be done under the
direction of the State Highway En-
gineer. County Highway Engineer M.
F. Mahin, Jr., has completed blue
print Of the road and the plans and
specifications have been prepared and
we learn that bids will be advertised
for and the contract let as soon as the
necessary right-of-way has been Sc
cured by the commissioners of the
