Reports Differ
on Wheat Yield
in This Section
One Farmer Forced to Call Of
Threshing Crew Because
Of Poor Crop Is Claim
Made.

Messages received from the wheat
fields of Nebraska Saturday told
different stories OF the crop yield. Re.
ports that the farmers were storing
their grain in hopes OF better mar.
ket and because OF the low quality
which made threshing financially
impossible from the farmers stand
point, were both verified and denied
Incidentally both reports were from
farmers living near Gibbon.
Robert Leisinger. tenant, one
farmer reported, was forced to stop
his threshing crew because OF the ex-
tremely poor yield, which would not
even warrant him enough to pay for
the cost of threshing. The owner OF
the farm, however. persuaded him to
continue despite the evident poor
quality.
Another Gibbon tenant, advices
told, threshed a half day and received
140 bushels. estimated TO be worth
s91. Two-thlrds Of this sum went
for the payment of the rent, and
hired help. The remainder. the
farmer complained. was insufficient
to pay for his own services and the
cost of seed.
That the two above reports cannot
be taken as fair criterion for other
farmers was declared by farmers
whose fields adjoin the I,eisinger
fields. 1t was admitted. however
that in some localities, the average
ran only about two bushels per acre
while the yield of other fields was
from 10 TO Il bushels.
Farmers in Gage. Jefferson. and
Clay counties reported that while tbs
yield per acre was fair and the
quality of grain was good in some
places, many were storing thei'
wheat in anticipation OF higher
prices.

Very Much

Harding Reported Recovering
Rapidly From Attack of
Ptomaine Poisoning,
But Still Weak.
Spends Sunday in Hotel

San Francisco, July 29.-Presideni
Harding arrived in San Francisco this
morning. greatly improved in health
but still weak from the ptomaine at
tack which caused him suffering al
the way on the trip from Seattle.
Under orders from his physicians
the president went to bed as soon as
he reached the Palace hotel, under
instructions not to receive any visi
tors but to give himself up entirely to
rest. Mrs. Harding remained at the
hotel all afternoon and also denied
pherself to callers.
1t is probable that Monday also will
be spent by the president quietly at
the hotel, although an auto ride may
be taken in the afternoon il he feels
equal to it, General Sawyer and DR.
Boone, who are in constant attend
ance upon the president, have advis
ed complete rest in order that the
strict regime of dieting which they
have instituted may produce it's best
effect.
This afternoon General Sawyer
prescribed some liquid food for the
president which was the first he has
had since boarding the special train
at Seattle Friday evening.
Passed Serious Stage.
The presidents illness has passed
the stage of being serious, his physi-
clans announced, his temperature be-
ing normal and all indications of
fever having been dissipated. The
severe pains in the abdominal region
which caused him intense suffering
Saturday. also have abated and very
little discomfort now Is felt by the
patient.
During Saturday night Doctors
Sawyer and Boone were in constant
attendance upon the president, and
steady improvement in his condition
was noted. Several times during the
night he complained of recurrence OF
the pains, but relief was administered
ard he was able to sleep most Of the
time. When he reached the hotel this
morning. he was perfectly willing to
ssory the doctors orders by getting
into bed.
Few Pecple at Staf1On.
Because of the early hour of the
presidents arrival and the sudden an
nouncement of the change in the
plans. few people were at the station
to greet him when the presidential
special pulled In at this morning.

usual happy frame of mind.
San Francisco has made elaborate
plans for the presidents reception,
beginning with Tuesday morning, the
time originally set for his arrival from
Yosemite valley. 1t Is possible that
because of his condition the program
may be cut so that the speech to be
delivered Tuesday night will be al.

probable the trip to Palo Alto and
