Mystery OF Russian Spy
Is Solved By His Death

Asew died in Berlin in 1918. He
lived for a time in the west end Of
Berlin under the assumed name of
Kerl Neumayer. Equipped with a
passport he travelled aimlessly
through the near East Of Europe,
continually fearing discovery by the
powerful secret organizations of
Russia. He then disappeared in the
German provinces, travelling from
one small town to another.
In 1915 Asew was arrested in
Berlin as a suspicious Russian. In
to his request, he was not
put into an internment camp but
was kept in various prisons. After
the peace of Brest-Litowsk he was
set free and died soon after from
collapse. In his position as
secret agent for the Gear, Asew was
obliged to remain a member Of the
sercet revolutionary organization
until he was discovered to be a bona
fide agent by the police.

There it lay in the consular files,

Some two months ago someone

There postal authorities gave pos

The letter, written in his fathers

GOOD FINANCIAL
PROSPECTS ARE
SENIOR TILLER
Reports Of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture Says Farmers
in fer Banner Year

ATLANTA, July 15.-Good fl
nancial prospects for the farmers
this year are seen by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
which says in its July report on the
agricultural situation that "given
strengthening livestock markets and
fair feed crops, plus fair returns
from wheat and cotton, farmers
would come out in in 1925 better
than they have in most of the years
since 1919"
The report comedies that much
can happen between. now and the
harvest of fall crops, but "taken as
whole, the main crops promise
fairly well except in the case of
winter wheat. The present nice
balance in both livestock and crop
production is tribute to the read
justments made by American farm
ers since the fall of 1921"
A cheering fact of the present
outlook, as outlined in the report,
is that agriculture will not be in the
market with a large surplus of the
major products, although produc-
ton will be ample to meet consump-
ton needs.
"Wheat harvest is in full swing"
the report continues, "The grain
ripened prematurely over much of
the western part of the belt and
the harvest is early. Threshings
have turned out unsatisfactory
yields so far, but the grain is of
fairly god quality. 1t appears
that the winter wheat crop is de,
cidedly short of last years crop; so
much so that the chief conjecture
throughout the wheat growing world
is how the shrinkage in this country
will balance up against better crops
abroad. The spring wheat region
from Minnesota to Montana has
high hopes in spite of some local
floods in the East and minor set
backs elsewhere.
"The outlook in the corn belt IS
apparently good. Hogs are rela-
lively high priced and may go high
er. The pig survey shows a de-
cline of II percent n the number
of spring pigs as compared with
last year. Corn prices are not so
high as to prohibit feeding, and
everything points to a profitable
season ahead. It is from conditions
like this year, when price rations
furnish a stimulus to feeding that
the corn belt can hope for some de-
gree Of prosperity"
