ing wheat crop of that district Is har-
vested. A general gain of so per cent
In registered I'm 70 Panhandle cities.
Deposits In some cities have doubled
in the last fortnight,
The wheat belt of Oklahoma Is
teeming wealth. Farmers have har.
vested the largest crop In the history
of the State Some fiorid estimates
place the yield as high as 97.000.O00
bushels, but the more conservative
place 1t around 10000, 900 to 10000. 900.
Kansas has the second largest wheat
crop on record. and it's sale is spur
ring purchases of every other kind
of merchandise in that section.
Illinois Wheat Crop.
The Illinois wheat crop has shown
exceptional improvement during July
and the corn crop has picked up to
marked degree, due to favorable
weather. These facts indicate that
the agricultural outlook is better to-
day than at the beginning of the
month. Taken for the country as a
whole, 1t is perhaps less satisfactory
than at this time last year, but the
drop from 1925 now promises to be
less severe than was anticipated.
Some farm products seem likely to
suffer pretty severely, but the trend
is not countrywide by any means.
For example, according to indicated
acreage, condition and yield, and based
on present spot and future quotations,
the wheat crop is expected to bring
around $1.215 900, 900, a gain of lis
per cent as compared with last year.
Oats also promise to show q gain
around 10 per cent, but corn Is low
and cotton and tobacco are expected
to show decided decreases in dollar
yield to growers.
According to these figures, the
South would seem in the worst po-
sition. Yet such probably will not
be the case, owing to the diversified
ton of crops and fruit yields. The
Northwest will feel some effects of
the reduced Spring wheat yield. but
IL should be remembered that live
stock prices are higher than year
ago.
Weather To Hove Effect.
The movement Of fresh grapes this
season Is expected to make new
record. but early bids are from $3.50
to S. a ton lower than at this time
last year. The outlook for sugar
beets is about 10 per cent lower than
year ago. although Montana, Col.
orado, Wyoming and Nebraska will
probably produce more than In 1925
The largest drop Is In California and
Idaho.
Most Of these forecasts and figures
are based on conditions existing be
fore the critical month OF August is
over. Weather may materially af.
feet corn, cotton, beets and other
products before final harvest, with
corresponding price changes. Alfalfa
through the sale or use of both hay
and seed, is likely to prove a life
saver for some districts.
Canada Is going to become
larger factor in the prices American
farmers will get for certain crops.
The vacant land Of the prairie prov.
inces is being rapidly taken up.

COMBS WAS SLATED
 FOR SCHOOL ROOM
Speedy New York American
 Player Is a Modest Baseball Star

Richmond, Ky. April l7 Pt-Earl Combs, speedy New York Ameri. can league player who Manager Hug gins of the Yankees once called the greatest outfieldcr that has broken into the American League since Cobb and Speaker made their de- buts," is q modest ball-playcr.
 Combs talking reluctantly on the eye of his recent departure for the 1aG6 campaign. gave the impression that there are at least fifty out ficlders in big agues who are bet ter men and gave so much praise to his manager and fellow players that his interviewer coull hardly get him back on the subject of Combs. He confessed to one ambition that of batting $50 in 1926. Since he hatted .S43 last season with the handicap of q slowly mending ankle, which he had broken sliding into tho platc late in Ihe 1924 season, there seems 10 be little chance of dis appointment.
 Joe Mccarthy, who has taken over the rcins Of the Chicago Cubs, is responsible for developing Combs and incidentally spelling a good school teacher for Kentucky. In polishing off Combs to attract the eyes of big league buyers, Mccarthy made possible one of the most pre- tcntious minor league players in the country.
 Earl was all set 10 teach the youngsters of the Bluegrass reading and it's kindred arts in q little coUn- try school when hc was sried by 2 scout from tho Louisville club Of the American Association,
 Here's the way 1t happened In Combs own words;
 When 1 went to Louisville, I was greener than the rawest recruit from the bushes.
 "In my first game a line drive was hit to me that should have been ,nn easy ont, I ran in, misiudged fl and the runner got three bases on 1t. My chance to atone for the rot ttcp play came when single was
 polcd over first. I went In to take i'
 on the bounce and sat down on the
 ball. Tho runner reached third. "I felt like quitting and If Me .Cnrthy had hawlcd me out, Kentucky would have had another good schoo'
 teacher but all Mac said was don't
 mind that, boy and the fellows or
 tho bench Insisted 1t was tougr
 luck"
 Combs however. continued tr
 travel a thorny road. Louisville fan' began 10 ride" him for his awkward mess and Mccarthy, recognizing hl
 sonsitiveness, kept him out of th' , home games and used him on th' road. In the meantime, Combs rrac , ticed for hours each morning, A the season neared ifs close. he va placed in the regular lineup an, , made good without any trouble, natural hitter, he had acquired con
 f1dcnce and ability to handle himsel
 gracefully.
 Then he was was given his bi
 chance. He was sold 10 the Yankee
 for a substantial sum which wa I later used as tho basis for buildin Parkway Field at Louisville.

PENN COACHES NOT

Only Fair Sprinkling Of OarSnen

 Spuhn, who had charge of the 1j0-pound crew at Harvard last year, and Luft, captain of the 1925 Washington "Huskics." succeeded the veterans, Joe Wright and Jim Rice. both Of whom resigned after misundcrstandings with tho HcnnSyl- vania rowing committee last sea son.
