WESTERN CROPS
MAKE PROGRESS
August Report Shows
Eastern Farming at
Standstill.

WASHINGTON-Crops in general
have not made particular Improvement
east of the Mississippi river or in the
western part of the corn belt, but con-
ditions have slightly improved in the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast
states during August, according to the
reports of correspondents of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Washington and Oregon have
received sufficient rain to relieve the
drought and conditions are still fav-
orable in California. A continued
drought in the Southwest and West
ern Texas and New Mexico has re-
suited in deterioration of ranges.
Small grains are still being threshed
in the east as far south as the Chesa-
peake Bay but the bulk of the wheat
threshing is finished south of the
Great Lakes Unsatisfactory yields
are reported in the Ohio Valley with
quality only fair. In the Dakotas fair
weather has favored harvest of small
spring grains and in Montana of win
ter grains Threshing returns in that
state show high quality of rye and in
South Dakota the quality of the spring
wheat is good so far, with relatively
light rust damage Threshing has
been delayed by rains in Iowa and
Nebraska. Threshing of wheat is
practically completed in Oklahoma
and a very low yield is indicated.
Wheat harvest is nearing completion
in Utah and Wyoming, is well under
way in Idaho and the harvesting of
barley and oats progressing. Con-
siderable oats will be cut for hay in
Wyoming. In California the harvest
of the grain crop has been completed
with good yields. In Washington and
Oregon winter wheat is mostly har-
vested, spring wheat and oats in those
states are too far advanced to be bene-
fitted by recent rains and production
may be about half of normal

gress in Virginia and the western part

MINNESOTA ONION CROP
ONLY 80 PER SENT OF NORMAL

The average condition of the COM
mercial onion crop in Minnesota is
estimated at the present time as 80
per cent of a normal. During the
past few weeks the crop has been
breaking down due to lack of mois-
ture. This condition is more apparent
in the light sandy fields than in the
heavier soils. However, the general
condition is much better than it was
the same time last year.

Jingle Of Fifteen Million Dollars hMcCorrick Wedding
Son of Former Harvester
Kings Splits Fortune
and Unmakes two Mar
riaes To Wed Woman
of His Choise.

CHICAGO,-When Harold F. Nc
Cormick, son of old Cyrus McCor-
mick, the inventor of the wheat binder
was married to Nine. Gamma Walska
the other day, there echoed the clank
of some fifteen million American farm
dollars.
Country America is not much in
terested in the doings of millionaires,
but the name Mccormick is different
because it is known in every farm
yard in the United States. The Nc
Cormick millions are made up of dol
lars paid in for farm machinery during
the last half century.
What Love Will Do
The marriage of Harold McCor-
mick to the thrice married Polish
Opera singer, Gamma Walska is the
story of man great wealth, swayed
by love, who gave up one of America S
greatest industrial positions the presid-
ency of the International Harvest Co.,
stripped himself of large part of his
huge fortune and unmade two mar
riages (his own and that of Nine
Walska), in order to wed the woman
of his choice.
1t is estimated that it cost him
SIS, 100000. These figures include the
settlement with his former wife; a
settlement of $5,0OO,OO0 on his new
wife and the cost of the two divorces
Harold McCormick's first wife was
Edith Rockefeller, daughter of John
D. Rockefeller, the worlds richest
man.
Gets Divorce
The Rockefeller family is much op.
posed to divorces-still it was John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., who finally wen,
to Chicago and after brief and Wig,
orous conference with MS sister, per.
suaded her to start action for divorce
which was granted just three day:
before last New Year. An outside
property settlement was then made
which was reported to be almost hal
the Mccormick fortune.
Mccormick still holds his former
father-in-law, John D., Sr., in higf
regard and only recently said he wa'
sure the former Oil King sympathizet
with him.
Harold Mccormick met Gamma Wal
ska in 1920 She called OH the phon
and asked him to help her realize tn,
ambition of her life to score success
on the operate stage. 4

world"
That means he will spend the rest
of the Mccormick millions if neces-
sary for her successor failure.
And there is the rub.
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, the
spurned wife, from her high social
throne can have finger in the sue
cess or failure of her former husbands
love bride when the latter is ready
for her Grand Opera test.
But will she? Maybe it will not be
necessary.
Maybe Harold Mccormick, blinded
and swayed by love, is following a
will of the wisp idea-imagining qualit-
les in voice which do not exist.

COUNTY WANTS ITS MONEY
Mandamus Proceedings Filed in SUI
preme Court to Secure Deposits.

Mandamus proceedings were filed
in the supreme court today by the
Rdrber county commissioners to com
pei Frank Fl. Foster, state bank com
missioner, to issue certificates of the
state bank guaranty fund in the
amount of $9O,65S.S0. The amount is
claimed to be due the county thru
claims for deposits in the Lake City
State bank.
According to the petition of Barber
county board an effort has been made
to secure acceptance of the claim by
the state bank commissioner. 1t is
claimed that Commissioner Foster re-
fused to either approve or disapprove
the deposit account of the county. A
writ of mandamus is now asked to
force acceptance of the deposit as d
liability against the state bank guar
anty fund.
In discussing the suit today ]. H
SandelI, assistant state bank commits
sioner, asserted thatthe Barber county
deposit was specially secured and that
it cannot be listed as liability of the
guaranty fund. The department, he
said, had refused to approve the
boards claim because of the fact that
the county held special security.
The Lake City bank was taken over
by the state department last fall
David Freemeyer, cashier of the
institution. went to Kansas City with
a load of cattle which were sold on
the market. The commission firm re-
mitted thru its bank for the cattle.
but Freemeyer disappeared. He never
returned and the bank was closed.
