UULKi LUUL0 ULIILIl AND BETTER; JULY 4 IS

FIRST CUTTING DATE ! By WILLIAM R. SANBORN i There la always some rivalry among threshing crews and farmers as to the honor of being first to thresh a crop, and the first to deliver at the mill. The present indications are that some farmer In Boston township is likely to carry off that honor, "hut you never can tell." It is possible that some Wayne fields may he cut before Sunday, July 4, but not very likely. At any rat the harvest will not begin seriously until after that date, after which it will soon be a continuous performance. Now and then an elevator man will put the first cutting at from 10 to 15 days, but the general guess puts the opening days of harvest at least two weeks away. Telephone calls covering Eaton. Camden and Eldorado, Ohio, all tell of an improvement in wheat fields and a better crop in sight than was considered likely a few weeks ago. - This is also true as to Dublin, Hagerstown, Boston, Centerville and on as far north as Economy and Modoc. All Have Had Rain. There is a much better feeling on account of the late rains. The farm crop outlook is very promising, in spite of the lateness of the season. Unless some calamity befalls we are to have a good corn crop in Wayne. The dry days gave splendid opportunity to

.roll and cultipack, and since the show- j

ers corn has made rapid growth. More and Better Wheat. The improvement in wheat does not I mean a "large" crop, though here and I there a farmer will harvest 20 to 30 ibsuhel grain. It does mean, howlever, mere wheat and better wheat 0Lhan wo have been anticipating. 3 Threshing rigs are being overhauled

and crows assembled, in all directions, getting ready for the word "go". Threshing rings are working out details of how the ground shall be covered. The threshing schedules vary from year to year. This applies tc some of the "rings", the last man to thresh last year being the first this season.

rAny Kind of Wheat In

Ohio Fields, Says Stranger Until rather recently comparatively :little attention has been given to the 'particular variety of wheat that is grown by the Ohio farmer. Ordinarily In past years the farmer grew merely wheat, and if he had been asked to give the name of it, he very likely .would have said: "Well, I didn't know the right name of it, but I got the

seed at the elevator a year or two ago I

and I think it is pretty good wheat." says Professor W. E. Hanger, Ohio State Agricultural college, in a bulletin. Of course. Professor Hanger says, the farmer knew whether it was bearded wheat or a smooth wheat, but beyond that point he gave little thought to the kind. According to Professor Hanger, a rather close observation of the fields of wheat even now in any community of the state just before harvest time reveals some rather interesting conditions. On almost any road in any county in the state one is confronted by the lack of uniformity in the various wheat fields. ft would seem that the logical thing for the farmers In a community to do

to decide on one or two varieties

mat are good ones and well adapted to the locality and eliminate all others.

The rarm ana the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

"How soon do you think your wheat harvest will begin?" was asked of H. L. Trick, elpvator manager at Eldorado, Ohio. "I don't think we shall cut any wheat around, Eldorado until July 5. Wheat has improved a whole lot of late, and should make around 15 bushels." Mr. Trick says that they have bought 1,500 bushels of old wheat lately and that they know of about 3,000 bushels still in farmers' hands. Wheat Outlook at Boston. The manager of the Kitchell elevator at Boston said he judged that they would bein cutting wheat in about two weeks. He said that west of Boston there is eome surprisingly good wheat, estimates it running between 20 and 30 bushels. "Will Miller, living west of Boston, tells us that he will cut a 25 bushel crop. East of town the outlook isn't quite so good." The Kitchell elevator folks have taken in 3,000 bushels of wheat in the past ten days and say that there is still upward of 4,000 bushels in farm granaries. Wheat Thin at Camden. The Farmers' Co-operative elevator folks at Camden say that while it is possible some formers may get In with their binders before July 5, that this is doubtful, but they expect cutting to begin about that time. They also report still taking in old wheat. They are not expecting a great many oats; say straw is short and "expect oats to be a little late this season. " Outlook Better at Modoc. The Farmers' Crain and Simply com

pany at Modoc, Ind., say that it will be at least two weeks until harvesting begins in that vicinity. The late rains have bettered the outlook considerably. Wheat has been benefited fome, and oats very considerably. Since the rain corn is growing fast. "Drouth checked its growth but it was well cared for and more than held its own. Our lawns and gardens suffered most for lack of rain." Very little old wheat is coming in to Modoc at this time. Oats Are Heading Short. Thompson and Powell, of the elevator at Hagerstown, say that it will be 10 days to two weeks before the first binder will be used up that way. The rains have benefited wheat of late and that some of it look3 very good. They report oats heading out short and predict a rather light crop. "Corn is looking fine, in the main, and there is still some old wheat dribbling in."

WASHINGTON. Wallace Reid Is at the Washington theatre In a breezy comedy picture called "Double Speed." As a youthful millionaire who is robbed and becomes cheuffeur to his lady love, the star is engaging and amusing as ever. The tempo of the film is suggested by the title. The story Is light, but brisk in Its action and well suited to the comedy talents of Mr. Reid. The central fjgure is "Speed" Carr, rich and a "live wire," who, while enroute from New York to Los Angeles by auto to meet his uncle with regards to his inheritance, is robbed of his car and belongings in the west ern desert and arrives at his destination looking much like a tramp. Supporting Wallace Reid as the girl is Wanda Hawley. Tully Marshall and Theodore Roberts are also in the cast. RICHMOND. During the filming of "Told in the Hills," the new Paramount-Artcraft picture starring Robert Warwick, v hich will be shown at the Richmond Theatre on Friday and Saturday, the scenario called for Mr. Warwick to be initiated into a tribe of Indians. The picture was photographed in the Nez-Perce Indian country, and several hundred members of that tribe were, after some difficulty, persuaded to act as "extras" in the production. They immediately became much attached to Major Warwick, admiring his splendid physique, hi3 brilliant horsemanship, and his skill with a rifle. "All of which is very gratifying," said Major Warwick. Ann Little is his leading woman. MURRAY Alice Joyce, the star of "The Sporting Duchess," which is showing at the Murray theater the last half of the week, is an expert archer. It is one of her pastimes and she enjoys it more than golf and tennis, although few can excel her at these. The star regrets that archery is not a more general sport. "It trains eye, mind and hand," she says, "and brings body and mind into co-ordination. It is one of the most fascinating practices I have ever tried and now that

I have got my company interested in archery I expect to stage some exciting tournaments duriaE our hours of rest." The archery tournament forma an Interesting episode in The Sporting Duchess."
