Charles E. Hoy, whose excellent
ranch is situated four miles south Of
Bozeman, threshed his crop last week
and had a very good yield. One hun
bred acres of wheat yielded $40 bu-
shells, an average of nearly 50 bushels
per acre. Forty-two acres of barley
yielded 2,164 bushels, an average of
81 bushels per acre. One hundred
acres of oats yielded $500 bushels,
an average Of 65 bushels per acre.
This IS the largest crop so far re-
ported this season and the average
yield certainly makes a good show
ing, especially for a small farm with
in the confines of the arid belt.

The ball game on Sunday between
Butte and Bozeman was n of the
most uninteresting Of the season.
owing to the severe rain on Sunday
morning and the grounds being very
muddy, no game was played in the
morning as advertised. In the af-
ternOon the grounds were in fair con-
ditIon and the game began at 8 D. M,
with the Butte team at bat. The alb
sence of MOffitt brothers from the
Bozeman team was particularly no
tIceable, as was also the catcher
Moore, who had a very lame hand
and was unable to play. Bently acted
as pitcher but seemed to be somewhat
or. A new player named Kelly pre-
sided behind the bat and from the
manner in which he handled himself
n would judge that he had been dis
carded from the "Haydigger's" town
ball nine, as he seemed unable to stop
the bali, although Bently's throwing
was not swift. His throwing was al
SO bad and errors innumerable were
scored. Arthur Place caught in the
ninth inning and the Butte team
failed to make a run or even get to
first. Ross did not pitch a tire
was no one on the team Who ccurI
stop the ball. The Butte ear. made
many errors and taking ii ali in all
the game was a decidedly poor one,
and at the end of the ninth inning
the score stood 10 to 4 in favor of
the visitors. The BOzeman nine then
offered inducements to the Buttes to
play another game without leaving
the grounds, but the latter team de-
clined. AS the weather was unsettled
the audience was small, there being
only about 100 spectators present.

ly by the working masses. Production
being three times as great in the
United States as over here, workers
receive not merely three times as
much money but receive three times
as much real wages in the form OF
goods which they can buy Hence the
American workers are infinitely bet.
ter fed, clothed, and housed than the
British workers.
The American worker recognizes
that prosperity consists in an abun-
dance Of useful goods and nothing
else, and that such abundance cannot
be created by insisting on high wages
in resepct of an utterly insufficient
output. He recognizes that capital
and labour-saving machines are his
goods which they can buy. Hence the
American worker can afford motor
car and other things which in this
paradise of trade un:onism, of Social
ism, and of ca" canny are privileges
of the rich and well-to-do.

College For Colored To Be
Opened AT Ridge, Md,

The Executive committee of the
Cardinal Gibbons Institute, National
School for the colored at Ridge, Nd,
have made recent announcement rela-
tive to the opening of the school,
terms of admission and courses of
study. The main building is under
construction and will be completed in
time to open the Institute early in
October. Separate departments for
boys and for girls have been arrang-
ed. Girls sleeping quarters will be in
the main building. The boys dormi-
tory is in temporary quarters 200
yards away.
Candidates for adm's sion, must be
Ia years of age or over, and be ready
to enter the sixth grade of the Mary
land school system or the seventh
grade in schools which have eight
grade system. The course of study
will begin with the ordinary Junior
High School work. The trustees are
unable to state how far advanced
work will be given at the present
time. Special opportunities for boys
and girls in trade education will be
given to those over fourteen years of
age even if unable to enter the regu-
lar academic courses. They will be
required, however, in addition to their
trades to take elementary academic
work. The trades opening the first
year are the building trades and farm
ing.
Tuition has been set at $500 per
month and board and lodging at SIG
per month. A reduction will be made
for those who regularly are at their
homes over the week-ends. Candid
ates for admission are now sending in
applications addressed to the Princi-
pal of the Institute at Ridge, Md.

WHY AMERICA
IS 50 WEALTHY
This Country Foremost 10 Output
Of Food And Raw Materials And
Also Manufactured Goods

Agitators demanding vast public
expenditure on their pet projects fire.
quently tell us that England is "roll.
ing in wealth." that it is "the richest
] country in the world" That was, per-
. haps, true decades ago, but matters
are very different now. England is
poor, very poor, if compared with the
United States.
The United States are fabulously
wealthy. Although they possess only
about one-twentieth of the population
of the world, they have half the
worlds wealth and have more than
half the worlds gold, diamonds,
pearls, and precious stones of every
kind.
The true wealth of nation can
. best be measured by the condition of
the masses. The prosperity of the
American workers is almost unbe-
lievablc. More or less unskilled men,
such Us carriers, milkmen, builders
l0DOur>rS, eCC., SdrH HoSs per uoy'
/ Vast numbers of skilled workers earn
81 900 and more per year.
The assertion that Americas wealth
belongs to the few, that the high cost
OF living counterbalances the high
wages prevailing, is incorrect. The
white population of the Republic is a
little more than twice as large as that
OF this country. However, the United
States have not. merely twice the
number of telephones and motor
cars that there are in this country
but have fifteen times as many. To
every three families there are two
telephones and two motor cars. Mil
lions of unskilled workers have not on
ly roomy houses which belong to them
but have a telephone, a motor car,
and other luxuries of which English
working men scarcely dream.
Before the war England's savings
came to about 100000, 900 per year.

The price of this product fell, howev-
er, from SLIP bushel in 1922 to 81
a bushel last year. Because of this
drop in price, the 1923 crop brought
$255,0OO less than the 1922 crop.
Tobacco was the third largest crop
of last year, yielding 19,OO8, 900 lbs
100000 pounds less than the 1922
crop report shows. Other crops of
1923, in the order Of their value, were
hay, potatoes, tomatoes, apples,
sweet potatoes, oats, peaches, pears,
rye, buckwheat and barley, according
to DIR. Symons' figure.

Say Agriculture Still Feels
Effects OF Post War Slump
Deflation Is Reflected In Conditions
Existing At Present Time.

Agriculture still is far from recov-
ering from the slump that befell it as
a consequence of the deflation that
followed the World War. This view
OF the farm situation was given by
DR. T B. Symons, director of the Uni
versity maryland extension service,
in the annual report of this depart
ment for 1923.
CONFRONTED with perplexing diff
culties," DR.. Symons writes, "agricul-
ture has been waiting patiently for a
hopeful change in the ill-adjusted eco
nomic situation. Here and there, dur
ing the last year the scale Of prices
received by the farmers has been re-
vised upward, but not sufficiently to
restofe agriculture to a firm footing.
"On the other hand, there has been
but a slight revision downward in
prices Of things which the farmer is
called upon to purchase. Agriculture,
consequently, continues to labor I'M
der financial disadvantage"
Maryland has been fortunate, DR..
Symons contends, in that this State
is less subjected than many other
States to the serious defects result
ing from this economic situation.
"The diversity of agriculture pos
sible in this State" he writes, "has
prevented anything like the difficult
situation prevalent in many regions
where a one-rop system prevails"
Nearby markets and the absence of
inflat on in land values have been in
strumental in helping the Maryland
farmer, DR.. Symons holds.
Corn yielded the greatest crop of
any in Maryland in 1928, according to
figures published in the report by DR..
Symons and obtained by him from
the bureau of agricultural economics
Of the United States Department of
The total value of the
ID largest crops produced by the
State during 1923 exceeds that of
1922 by $4,42O,000, the figures show.
Although the total corn crop in
1923 was smaller by more than AGO.
900 bushels than the 1922 crop, the
yield was valued at more than 49,
100000 above that Of 1922. Last year,
according to the figures published by
DR.. Symons, the corn crop yielded 25,-
231 600 bushels and sold at 81 cents
a bushel. In 1922 corn sold at 60
cents bushel.
The wheat crop last year-10,42
900 bushels-was larger by almost a
million bushels than the 1922 crop.
