Hail Storms Fail To
Hurt Good Wheat Crop

Meade, Kan, Aug. S.-P)-The
wheat crop in Meade county was so
good this year that hail storms could
not destroy it.
Wheat on the large Cunnins farm
was pronounced a total loss after hail
stones as large as golf balls had bat
tered to the ground every head Of
grain several weeks before harvest.
Unusual prolonged rainy weather
kept the field green. New stalks
sprang from the roots. Finally Cum
minis obtained yield of twenty-f1v
bushels an acre.
Another farmer, who had collected
hail insurance, harvested thirty-five
bushels from every acre. The insur-
ance company, having admitted its
loss, found no recourse to compel the
farmer to return his insurance
money

PLANS PROGRESS
Continued from Page One)

FOR an international series off this
port between October and -.
The race committee sent the fol-
lowing telegram to H. r. Silver of
Halifax, chairman of the trustees:
AT the meeting of the American
race committee this evening your teIe-
gram of July 80 was interpreted as a.
challenge for an International race
this fall off Gloucester. Our commit
tee accepts your challenge and is TAX
ing immediate steps to perfect neces-
sary arrangements.
1T is essential to expedite matters
that the date Of the international race
be decided upon at once. We suggest
that the race be held as early in Octo-
Der as possible and suggest October 8
and the days following, which include
October 12 legal holiday"
The early date was proposed by the
committee because the schooner Co.
lumbia, the only American possibility
for an international race, must leave
not later than October IS for her fall
trip to the New Foundland coast for
herring. In the event of a race being
arranged, it was said today that Cap
tain Marty WEIGH, who steered the
American schooner Esperanto in the
first international series at Halifax in
1920, probably would be at the wheel
Of the Columbia.
The first international race was held
in the fall of 1920 and was won by the
Gloucester vessel Esperanto. The Blue
nose of Lunenburg n. S., won in 1921
and 1922, and in 1923 the cup was not
awarded because Of a disagreement
over the rules Of the contest.
The telegram referred to in last
nights Gloucester message was sent
by Chairman Silver of the board of
trustees and said that a Nova Scotia
fishing schooner race would be held
this fall with the object of the win
ner entering a race against a United
States champion.
