made a lootless getaway.
1t is practically a settled fact
that amateurs did the work. After
tampering with locks on various
business houses, in which it was
not possible to gain an entrance,
they got into the garage of p. S.
Sims and appropriated a yellow
wheeled Ford touring car with a
green body, showing clearly the
work of amateurs. Sheriff John z.
Fleming stated this morning that
they evidently realized the unadvis-
ability of trying to make away with
such a marked machine, and it was
abandoned one-half mile west of
the city.
Mr.. Sims had been to Alexis the
night before, and due to the bad
roads was not able to get home
until o'clock this morning. He
noticed the theft at 4 o'clock this
morning and Immediately notified
the sheriff. Mr.. Sims was told not
TO lose any sleep over the affair, as
the sheriff was certain the car
would be found abandoned this
morning. This was true Sheriff
Fleming made doubly sure by no
tifying authorities in nearby towns
of the theft. It was reported that
in five business houses an attempt
had been made to gain an entrance
without success.

MERCER GRAIN
VALUATION Is
LOWER IN 1921
p. 8. Richey Tabulates Crops on
Basis of Average Value Dur
ing Last Two Years.
Especial to The Argus.)


Aledo, Jan. 6.-Valuation OF the
principal grain crops of Mercer
county for the last year shows a
decrease of more than so per cent
over the year 1920.
p. s. Richey, Mercer county farm
advisor, has tabulated the corn,
wheat, barley and rye crops of the
county according to their average
value during the last two years.
To get the report in dollars and
cents, Mr.. Richey based the size of
the various crops on information
received from the government de-
partment of commerce.
Following are the valuations of
the various county crops for the
1921 and 1920 years, respectively
Corn 81 ,190,792. $3,074,334 wheat
$685., 237, $41O,S02; barley $25,091,
S49,197; rye $31, 200, S43,293. In all
likelihood farm products will sell
in 1922 for a much higher price
than was obtained the last year.
Mr.. Richey states that this will be
due to a great extent to the follow
ing reasons: % foreign demand
is opening, (2) general campaign
win be launched by the A. F. B. F.
to decrease acreage. 90 market de-
mand will be supplied but will not
be OVERLOADED
Mercer county farmers will be
interested to know of a recent ex-
pertinent in regard to using clover
in rotating crops conducted at the
state university farm. having the
same kind of soil as this county.
A rotation of straight corn and
oats has been used for 40 years
on one plot Next to it rotation
of corn, oats and clover for the
same period of time. The average
yield of corn from 1907 to 1919 on
the corn-oat land has been SO
bushels per acre. On the other
land the yield per acre for the same
period of time has been 5512 bush
els. This shows that clover used
once in three years has caused an
increase of 1872 bushels per acre.
Postpone Meeting
Directors of the local farm bu-
reau are being notified that the
regular monthly meeting for Janu-
airy will be held on the 18th in
stead of the 10th, making a post
