GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
OATS HARVEST IN
BLUFFTON DISTRICT
Promising Showing of Crop
Offsets Poor Results Chalk
ed up by Wheat
Potato Market Shows Indica-
tions of Rise; SOys, Toma-
toes, Corn Good

Offsetting the smallest wheat crop
in recent years, oats this summer are
expected to turn in a yield of aver
age or better, according to opinion
expressed by farmers who are in the
midst of harvest.
A crop average from 60 to 80 BUSH
els is anticipated, altho this estimate
may be cut somewhat in this section
where part of the crop has been blown
down in storms of the past month.
A season of unusually favorable
growing weather is proving boor
to other crops including corn, toma-
toes, soybeans, pickles and potatoes
Corn Looks Good
Corn, backbone of farm crops here
is giving evidence of yield better
than was earlier anticipated, in view
of late planting, some borer damage
and smaller acreage than year ago.
Soys, likewise are expected to make
one of the best records in recent years
both in yield per acre and total pro-
duction.
Large increases in acreage of toma-
toes i'm the district northwest of
Bluffton has followed opening of new
canneries in that section, with both
prices and crop yields better than a
year ago. Pickles also are in demand
by canneries with better than average
crop at satisfactory prices.
Potatoes Promising
Potato growers who have been look
F, ing forward to a market of $3.50 PEI
hundred pounds this season may ge
more than this figure, it was indicated
the first of the week when the mark
ct developed unexpected strength.
Most of the crop in this section vii
| be harvested in August. The prevail
/ ing price of $3.50 is more than twic,
that of year ago when growers re
ceived S1.10. Potatoes are being sol,
| here at retail for 55 cents peck.
This week will witness the end o
! harvest season marketing of tn
wheat crop. Wheat marketed her
was about half the usual volume re
fecting lower yields due to unfavor
able conditions early last spring, re
stricted acreage resulting from gov
ernmental policies and storage o
grain on farms in anticipation o
higher prices.

Ream, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Ream of near Ada, writes:
'The natives here are very black,
have big bushy hair, wear skirts
and no shoes. They work for be-
tween three and four dollars week.
"It has rained here every day for
the past seven days. / don't like the
hot days but the nights are pleas
ant with nice cool breezes playing
and a rain every four hours.
"There are plenty of bananas and
cocoanuts and watermelons grow as
big as 40 inches in circumference.
"Only two meals a day were
served on our way over. After
recovered from seasickness, gained
about five pounds. Now, ! don't
mind the rolling ocean.
"There is a native boy here who
can speak fair English and gives us
the facts about the place. We gave
him some ice cream and he nearly
went wild over it. There are few
white people here"

Arnold Offers Bill
To Senators 10 Curb
Patent Racket Evils
Seeks Penalty for Abuse
Of Privilege and Restroint
Of Power in Future
By the Associat ted Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Thurman Arnold offered Senators
today a draft of legislation to curb
"illegitimate" use of patents, declar-
ing that mo privilege has ever been
subjected to such abuse by great cor
porate rackets as the patent privi-
lege."
The Assistant Attorney General. in
charge of antitrust investigations,
told the Senate Patents Committee
his bill had twofold purpose-"to
put a real penalty on the abuse of
the patent privilege to violate the
very purpose for which it was Gre
ated and to take away from an
illegal combination the weapons
which enabled them to build up and
maintain that combination against
independent enterprise"
Briefly" he said, "the bill pro-
vides as follows:
First, no infringement action can
proceed without having a copy Of the
pleadings served upon the ATTORNEY
General, who has the right to inter-
vene.
Second, any use of a patent, in
GLIDING any unreasonable failure or
refusal to grant licenses there
under, which has the effect of I'M
reasonably limiting the supply of any
article moving in interstate COM
merce Is declared to be illegal, and
judgment or conviction that a pat
ent has been SO used renders the
patent null and void.
Third, the criminal penalty for
such misuse of patent is made in
applicable where prior full disclosure
