CZECHO SLOVAK HEROES TRAVERSE U. S. ON WAY HOME

WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO. July 16. The grain sentiment is mixed. Bulls count on an old-fashioned warm wave. Weekly United States reports suggest a three billion corn crop. Some sections are dry. The report also indicates a cut in winter wheat, spring wheat and oats prospects. Losses not severe. Corn crop news favors the buyer. Argentine new wheat crop seeding delayed seriously by floods. European oats stocks are low. Shipping strikes and excess freights delay export grain sales. Corn crop in critical twentyfive days. Hogs twenty-five to fifty lower.

No soldiers of the world war underwent more varied experiences than these Czecho-Slovak troops from Siberia, the first 1,000 ef nearly 300,000 Bohemians forced to war against the Russians in 1914 by Austria to be tent on their homeward journey. These are wounded or ill who have recovered sufficiently to travel and were landed at San Diego, California, from Vladivostok early in July for a fortnight's rest at Camp Kearny base hospital before being sent across the continent for transport to France and thence homeThey are still a stalwart body of xaen, as a whole, after five years of fighting for their nationality, now recognized and assured by the peace treaty. Deserting the Austrian forces, this Bohemian army went to the Russian side, only to see Russia break, forcing them to defend themselves against the Reds and work their way to join the anti-Bolsheviki troops of Admiral Kolchak and at last the allied forces with which their wanderings ended at Vladivostok. Most of their original army lie scattered in graves throughout the former vast Russian empire. They

estimated there may be 50,000 aaining alive.

Wheat Crop Under Expected Yield; Threshing Starts Over County

'A few of the 1,000 Czecho-Slovak veterans, now en route home, taken on landing at San Diego from Vladivostok and Gen. Frederick S. Strong, commander at Camp Kearny, greeting Maj. Vladimir Jirsa, commander jgF Czecho-Slovak contingent.

By WILLIAM R. 6ANBORN Recent rains, some of which were quite general over Wayne county, and numerous showers which have spotted the landscape, have decayed threshing, and this work has but fairly begun. There is one large threshing ring, east of Fountain City and along the Arba pike, for instance, for which not a single acre has yet been threshed. Curtis McMahan. who will do this threshing, hope to get started early next week. But enough threshing has been done in different parts of the county to show that the wheat crop is far from realizing expectations, although there is much good wheat and many fair yields will be recorded. The promise

was so brilliant and the straw so heavy that the average field looked like "30 bushels or better" that it is a disappointment to harvest but 18 to 20 bushels where so much more was expected.

Will Bond, of Fountain City, who has been threshing for three days, reports the following results. The farmers in the Fountain City vicinity whose wheat has been threshed are: Emery Lewis, Clarence Boren, Lester Wright, John McMinn, Arch Knight, and Frank Longfellow. Mr. Bond states that these six had about 134 acres of wheat and that 2,340 bushels were garnered; a litle over 17 bushels per acre. Bond reports that he has at least two weeks threshing ahead and that some of the wheat looks mighty good and will far exceed this average. Pests Work In Crop. All sorts of pests have been working in wheat, to hear the farmer tell it. There was some blight, joint worms, minute green worms which attacked the grain in the milk and caused it to shrivel, and many other destroyers. But there is a lot of good grain at that, and straw in thousands of tons. And therein lies the disap

pointment; the Btraw indicated a won

derful harvest

Will Lewis, of Williamsburg, says that but little has been thrashed around that town, and that the result

has been most unsatisfactory to a number of growers, in one or two in

stances running as low as 11 to 12

bushels, and up to 18. Mr. Lewi3

appointed. His 75 acre averaged but 15 bushels, according to his statement today. Harry Gilbert threshed 14 acres yesterday which tested B8 and ran about 20 bushels, or a little better. Gilbert will thresh another field out near the Wernle Home this afternoon or tomorrow. The machine will then move to the Wernle Home place, where, we are told, not more than 15 busheU are expected. In Good Condition. Flour mills report wheat coming in in much better condition than on last year, it being free from dampness and ready for milling. There was some damp wheat with a tendency to moldlness among last season's receipts, in

fact considerable of it at one time.

Lawrence McConaha, of near Cen-

tervllle, isn't complaining any. He had sixty acres which averaged 22

bushels and tested 60 pounds. Glenn Brumfleld, ju6t south of Centerville.

harvested 20 bushels from one field

while a piece of wheat about a half

mile away, on another farm, netted

him but 12 bushels of 52-pound grain.

Those among us who have been

pessimistic over the wheat harvest

should brace up and forget it. Wayne county will harvest a pretty fair crop of good average quality and there is corn and oats to be considered as money crops. We told of a spring wheat crop on the Lewis Matti farm east of Richmond a few days ago. This wheat has not been all cut on account of rain, but seems to be in fine shape. The winter wheat on this farm averaged 20 bushels. Mr. Matti has a threshing outfit thie year and has Just gotten under way, but reports no exceptional yields in the New Paris district so far.

Mrs. Stephens Indicted for Forgery by Grand Jary

Following an indictment, returned late Tuesday afternoon by the grand jury, Mrs. Mary Stephens, living 60Uth of the city, was arrested and is being held in the Home for the Friendless, awaiting trial on a charge of forgery. The woman was arrested after it was found that she had cashed a check for $400 at the Dickinson Trust company, made in her favor and bearing the signature of Benjamin Kuhlman, of Boston township, her brother-in-law. Several other forgeries, it is alleged, have been made by Mrs. Stephens, not only on the Dickinson Trust company, but on other banks. Officials of the bank say that the

forged signature was a clever piece of work, and was almost identical with that of Kuhlman.

bushels of choice, plump grain. Col

traine lives in the Fountain City district. Averages 25 Bushels Considerable thresning has been done between Richmond and Center-

ville and along the National road. Arthur Curme reports a yield of 684 bushels on 32 acres, a little over 21 bushels to the acre, while Harmon

Wolke reports an average of 25

bushels on two fields totaling 38 acres facing the National road. John Hawley, living southwest of town reports an average of 20 bushels. Frank Jones reports that on his newly purchased farm north of Bethel, his wheat made 20 bushels which, because It was so thinly sown, was a pleasant surprise. Mr. Jones reports that Roscoe Coughlin. with about 100 acres to thresh, had reported 22'. bushels from the machine. Record of 28 Bushels. While claims of 30 bushels an aero have been made, we have not so far verified any such reports, though doubtless such record will be probably exceeded when all returns are in. Horace Hunt, near Webster, holds the record so far as we know at this writing, his field testing sixty pounds and running 28 bushels. Three Charlies figure in some good reports. Charles Papaw and Charles Mikesell, living north of Whitewater, report 24 bushels testing 60 pounds, on quite a large acreage, while Charles Stigleman, of Boston township, reports a little better than 21 bushels stretch of read that is not of the ber 2 wheat. It looks as if Franklin

township will exceed a 20-bushel average, for none has been reported running under that figure, out of at least

a dozen returns from the machines. Charles Carpenter, of the Richmond

Roller Mills, Informed the writer to

day that fully 80 per cent of the wheat

bo far received, around 10,000 bushels, say, has tested Number 1 and 2, with some Number 3 and a fraction of the total running lower. This reflects conditions at the Champion Roller

Mills also, where a considerable por

tion of the wheat received has grad ed 1 and 2.
