FIRST STARK
COUNTY YIELD
ISEXCELLENT'
Over ~ Bushels to Acre of
Marquis Wheat Is Made
on Is Acre Farm

Dickinson, Aug. 23.-First new
wheat to be marketed in Dickinson
this year was threshed Thursday by
F. A. Meyer of South Dickinson and
hauled directly to the elevator. From
Is acres of the old Jack McDonough
farm inside the city limits to the
south, Mr.. Meyer threshed 4O2 bus
hels of Marquis, machine measure.
The elevator weight, dockage deduct
ed, was 41O bushels, making the aver
age yield per acre q 1-3 bushels. The
first load of 112 bushels hauled to
the elevator graded No. 2 and sold
for SLIP. Being cut less than a
week, the wheat was little damp.
Consequently the grade was lower
than it would otherwise have been.
Yields from nearby rye fields
threshed during the week indicate a
general yield ranking considerably
above the average for the past sew
eral years. A 60 acre field on the N.
C. Langdon farm northwest of the
city showed machine run of slightly
above 20 bushels per acre.
Wheat harvest is now so advanced
in Stark county that rust, which
has developed rapidly during the past
week, has been able to do little dam
age. Threshing of wheat and oats
will begin next week. Corn is ma
turing slowly; flax will yield better
than usually, from all indications,
and there is an exceptionally large
acreage in the county this year.
A heavy hailstorm south Of Hebron
did much damage, but territory
around Dickinson escaped the hail
entirely.

SEARCH FOR THIRD MOON ON MARS

Planet Mars to be Closer to
Earth at $3.50 Tonight
Than it Has Been For 12O
Years and Scientists all
Over World Are Searching
For Signs of Life on the
Planet-Cap of Ice Is Re-
vealed by One Search

Chicago, Aug. 23.-(By the A. PD--
Search for the third moon of Mars
and study of the moisture content
in the air which may encircle the
planet are being made by scientists
here as the planet draws near to
earth.
There is bare chance that we
may discover another moon around
Mars Prof. Frost of the University
of Chicago in charge of the Yerkes
Observatory at Williams Bay, said
today.
He said that at about $50 tonight
the planet would be closer to the
earth than it has been for 12O years
or will be again before 2OO7 A. d.
Mars is already credited with the
possession of two moons. one, Fear.
10 miles in diameter and Dread, 35
miles. both travelling around Mars
three times day, he said.
Last nights study of the planet
through the 40 inch telescope-the
largest refracting lens in the world,
at Yerkes observatory, revealed cap
of ice 700 miles in width. This ice
field is rapidly shrinking, Prof. Frost
declares, and within a few weeks
will have disappeared entirely and as
tronomers will then have a better op-
portunity to observe the presence
of vegetation.
Seems Arid
"Mars seems to be an arid contin-
ent, Prof. Frost said Zone of the
things we are anxious to do now is
to verify or discredit our belief that
the amount of moisture there is
small. 1t is perfectly reasonable to
believe that there is vegetation on
Mars. possible fungus. In fact am
of the opinion that the canals you
have been hearing so much about are
nothing more than strips of vegeta-
ton.
"As for life existing on the planet,
that is almost out of the question.
One thing is certain, if any animals
are there. they must be able to stand
extreme heat. The notion that Mars
is signalling to us is ridiculous.
