DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug 26.-
(By A. PA bumper crop of

yield was only % bushels to the
acre. Despite the yield being 132,-
100000 bushels shorter than the
previous crop and that it was of in
ferior quality, it brought the Iowa
farmer $13,O0O,OOO more than the
year before.
"The 1921 crop-Iowa's greatest

yield for that year was AZ bushels

In that year Mr.. Reed said the
gross return for land that grew

NEW YORK, Aug, 20 (By A.
PO-Thc pistol shots which early
Tuesday struck down three men.
two of them Chinese, in Boston.
echoed half across TIE United
States, as Chinese Tong men, after
a six months peace renewed their
warfare.
Fl. Yen Yung, Hip Sing Tong
man, zee Zip a member of the On
Leong Tong, and Joseph D. Crowley.
a bystander, were wounded in the
burst of gunfire in Boston's China
town.
Almost Immediately after the
Boston break, Ho Kee, a member Of
the rival On Leong Tong here, was
found dead on a cobbled China
town street with three bullets in his
back. 1t is believed he was the
victim of Hip Sing revenge.
In Pittsburg. Shing Sun, a laun-
dryman, was killed, and shortly af-
terward Low Suey, and a Chicago
Chinese were murdered in Mime
apolis. In st. Louis LeOng Chooey
q former "king" of Chinatown there
was wounded seriously by enemy
Tong men, and in scores of other
cities where the great Chinese
Tongs have outposts, police found
the Tong Ratchet men preparing for
battle.
News of the Boston attack spread
over the country as quickly as tele-
graph wires could carry it. II. Yen
Yung was obscure, but he was
member of the Hip Sing Tong and
the shots which felled him destroy
de the slender threads holding to-
gether the armistice arranged sly
months ago between the Hip Sing
and the On Leong Tongs.
Warned by a code messages, the
gunner of the rival longs slipped
into doorways to. avenge the new
blood debt and to settle debts held
over from the peace conference
here last March.
The new outburst followed by
only a few hours the burial of Lee
Kue Ying, the foremost Chinaman
of New York's Chinatown, who was
most influential in arranging the
truce. Members Of both tongs sat
side by side in his funeral cortege
as al Cinnamon paid their last re-
spects to him,
Until last October there had been
no hostiiities between the two
tongs for years. Then came sud
den outbreak of hostilities which
lasted through the winter. The On
Leong Tong is composed PRINCIPAL
" of Chinese merchants. The Hip
Sings, larger, but less wealthy
draw their members chiefly from
Chinese seamen.
