ALFALFA SEED CROP
TOPPER CENT LARGER
Registered Grimm Production
Will Be One-Fifth Greater;
Prices About $3.50

Alfalfa seed production is expected
to be about 10 per cent larger than q
year ago. The y. s. bureau Of agri-
cultural economics estimates produce
ton of about $500, 900 pounds Of
country-run seed, compared With
about 41,250y000 pounds last year.
Production increased in several OF
the important producing states but to
the greatest extent In Idaho and
Kansas. Larger crops were likewise
harvested in Montana, Oklahoma.
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. On
the other hand a marked reduction
took place in Utah and q smaller
crop was in prospect in South Da-
kota.
Acreage saved for seed in the coun-
try as q whole was about the same
as a year ago. Yields In q few i'm
portant states were much larger than
last year, with the result that the
average yield per acre for the country
as q whole was slightly larger than
that Of last year. The average yield
of 400 growers, whose aggregate pro-
duction amounted to about one-nine-
teenth of the crop In the United
States, was $50 pounds.
Production Of registered (certified)
Grimm alfalfa seed, estimated at ap-
proximately 6,000,0 900 pounds, Is ex-
pected to be 20 per cent larger than
that of last year. The marked IN
crease in the production Of this Va
riety in Idaho more than offsets the
indicated decrease in Utah and the
Dakotas. In Montana the crop seeme
to have been about the same as laSt
year.

those of a year ago. Losses from
rains at blossoming time were like.

Ill Trade Quickening Over Country According to Dun's Review

in itself represents a heavy drain on
the resources of a pasture.
In many sections, particularly in
the East" Abbott says. I'VE have
reached the stage where more cows
than the grass will maintain are
kept, and so much manger feeding
Is necessary that in many cases dairy
farming Is Improbable because OF
high production costs.
I'VE believe farmers Ia the hay

of the corn belt, could use nearly

Rise in Farm Prices Near,
Says Cleveland Financier

Farm products values have dropped
to levels prevailing Is or more years
ago. It's a long road which has no
turning, however. and the govern
ment's most recent index of farm
values showed q small rise.
This index late in September stood
at Ill, taking the base Of 100 as the
average from 1909 to 1914. In August
the index stood at l08, the lowest
point in many years. One year ago it
was 141. ~
Food consumption does not vary
greatly in good Or bad times. The
decline of farm prices this year has
reflected large world SURPRISES of
wheat and other products. Consump-
ton may be somewhat accelerated by
low prices, and as supply and demand
become better balanced, steadier
| prices will prevail. Recent indica-
tons have pointed to the possibility
that a genuine strengthening of farm
products prices Is near.

Leona the Great trailed the Wedgemere Stable entry to the wire. The track was heavy because of the rain Tuesday night and, as re- suit, the time was poor.
 Ability of Leona the Great to re- main flat" won the first heat. She got away to a good lead and re- mained in front of the field all the way. She wired in at the head of all opposition several lengths in the lead. Harry Brusie on Dattide, gave her a great battle for three :. quarters of the way in the second heat but a bad break on the turn into the stretch put the horse out of running. Larkspur, one of the favor ties, broke early but picked up enough to finish second.
 Larkspur went right out after the final heat and took over the lead in the back stretch of the first time around

Charges Bob Up

Chicago, Sept. IS R-Though barred from the evidence, the tap ped-phone charges continued to bob into the picture which senate pro- bers of Illinois primary campaign funds expected to finish, for the time being, today.
 Photographs of the phone circuit, which Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, republican senatorial nominee claimed tapped the line to her home at Byron, H., were laid before the senate Investigating committee yes, terday byT. B. Thompson, publisher of the Rockford, Ill., Daily Repub, lie, owned by Mrs. Mccormick.
 The photographs were taken last Sunday, Thompson said when he was called as a witness to testify whether or not the republican can- didate had become financially inter- ested in the newspaper in order to further her campaign. The photo graphs were not admitted as evil dence but the members of the com mittee inspected them.
 Nye Halts Witness
 Chairman Gerald P. Nye, senator from North Dakota, then told Thompson, Unless you are definite ly prepared to declare that this committee, a member of it or an employe was responsible for this bwire-tapping we are not inclined to carry our investigation any further V Mr. Nye also said, "No member of this committee, no person employed by this committee has done anything of this kind.'
 The committee again denied the plea of Attorney General Oscar Carl strom of Illinois that he be allowed to present a statement in defense of Mrs. Mccormick.
 Mrs. Mccormick, in a statement last night, attacked that of Nye by asserting that, Tt is a fact that agents of the committee have tapped wires and that these operations were in connection with the investigation being conducted by the committee. VI She said her only conclusion was that "the reason the chairman had finally refused to hear those wit7 nesses," who she said would prove her charges, was that he is afraid to hear them"

\ Mrs. H. M. Hanson, night super visor in the local telephone ex- change, and Police Officer Thomas Lee, today are sharing honors in preventing what might have been 8 serious fire which was at first dis covered by Officer Lee at 1909 this morning, but which made Mrs. Han son suspicious at 1:05, or four min utes earlier. The fire was in the Packard Block, corner of Arch and Walnut streets, at exactly the same point, beneath the Packard drug store, as was the fire on April 30, which was also discovered by Officer Lee.
 Mrs Hanson saw the lights of the pharmacy wires f1ickering on the switchboard, and after trying to, get reply called the police station and made a report on the situation.

 Officer Lee had gone into the lunch cart on Chestnut street to get his 1 o'clock meal and was walking toward Main street when he saw smoke emerge from window pn the Walnut street side of the build ing. He ran back and sounded the alarm.
 Tha firemen found a smoky fire raging in the cellar of the drug store. Store owners sinee the April fire, had not left any acids or chem icals in the basement, so that there was no fear of an explosion of chemicals.
 The firemen were forced to don smoke masks. They could not see flames, but they could hear them back of partitions. The smoke was so H-eavy that beams from the stor- age battery lamps carried by the firemen did not penetrate more than three or four feet until opened win dows and doors had carried off much of the smudge.
 ' The fire was confined to the base ment of the drug store, which, was gutted Smoke and water did consid- erable damage to the stock and also to stock in the Herman Gerber jew dry store, next door on Arch street. Fire department officials estimated the damage at s2,500.
