SPLENDID YIELD OF OATS.
N~inety-six Bushels to the Acre on a
Willow Creek Farm

The famous Gallatin valley may
well claim to be the Egypt of Amer
ica," but like that ancient country it
is not by any means an oasis in the
midst of deserts, as can be proved by
the following facts:
This season Messrs. Northrup,
Braslen and Goodwin company of
Minneapolis offered a permium of
$500 to any competitor within Uncle
Sans dOminions who could show the
best results from one bushel of their
Lincoln oats. Among others in this
vicinity, George L. Gordon of Willow
Greek entered the list Of competitors.
He sowed a bushel of the oats on 1%
acres Of clean fallow ground, gave it
good attention and the yield has late
ly been threshed by Messrs. Wilkins
and Cook and machine weighed. The
results show the enormous yield Of
1853 bushels, % pouRds, out of the one
bushel Of seed, or over 96 bushels ia
the acre. Mn. Gordon has sent in the
returns with his affidavit and those
Of the threshers as to the truth Of his
statement and now confidently awaits
the award.

There probably are no two lines of
business as closely allied as that Of
the producer Of live stock and the
banker.
This connection has come about
naturally down through the ages,
commencing long before there was
any such thing as present day medi-
ums of exchange.
The producer, of course, came first
as he was the beginning Of all things
as we are told that the first three
men in the world were a gardener, a
plowman and a grazier, and that they
combined the four requisites given
them by nature to become producers:
namely, the earth, the sun, the wa
ter and the air.
However, as civilization progressed
necessity pointed to the Importance
of some medium of exchange. In the
early days before the density of pop
ulation evidenced itself, perhaps it
was practical for the producer to ex-
change his product with the merchant
for commodities of like value. It is
true that in those days the bullock
was the medium of exchange and the
standard by which values were meas
ured.
We can well imagine with the pres
ent state OF development what the
difficulties would be in having such
a cumbersome method of exchanging
commodity for commodity. So the
money changer resulted who was the
early banker. It was necessary to
have something representing the pro-
duet which was easily transported and
handled; money resulted and with
money anne the banker. In its pres
ent state of efficiency there probably
is no one unit of the agriculture.
and commercial structure which ha:

building and progress of the world al
a whole as has the banker.
The close relationship existing be
tween the live stock producer ant
the banker is the natural result of thu
fact that the production Of meat foo,
animals in various sections is boun,
to be more or less seasonal. Of course
the more seasonal the production O
any commodity, the more vital is tn
contact between the producer Of tina
commodity and the banking facilitie
at his disposal. This is important il

game. The argument arose over a
hit by Kucera of the Bisbee team
which he went to second base on
but on which he was called out for
not touching first base. Both of the
Bisbee debaters said that Kucera had
touched fiItt but the jumps ruled
otherwise and they were banished.

day at the Wembley stadium when the
Bolton Wanderers won the English
football association cup by defeating
the Manchester City team to o. The
match aroused as much enthusiasm as
the deciding game in an American

Both teams are from Lancashire,
and that county sent tens of thousands
of boosters in charabancs, special
trains and by other modes of travel.
The scramble to get seats just prior
to the kick off caused exceptional
crushes at the gates, where thousands

scalpers away and received few
bruised heads. All told there were 16S
