SEVENTH AND CHEROKEE 1818 (Market Square) PHOE3E 1818 are going on a tour be sure to equip yourself with necessary accessories, extra tires, etc. from our Accessory Department.) i Different Seeds and Various Yields of Different Sections Are Given In Comprehensive Report. A rdnnrt lias heen received bv I. i N. Chapman on the yield of wheat in this section of the state and 6how the co-operative variety tests of wheat.

The results show the average yield of grain per acre by bushels which is as follows. Southeastern Kansas which includes 12 counties i south and including Coffey, Ander-1 I son, and Linn. I Fulcaster, 2S.T; Harvest Queen, 28.5; Currell, 25. Miracle, 26.6. Northwestern Kansas: Kanred, 33.4 Turkey, 31.4S; Fulcaster, 2S.07; Harvest Queen, 29.01; Currell, 26.65; Miracle, 26.06.

The northeastern part of Kansas includes the counties of Morris, Chase, Lyon, Franklyn and Miami. In the southeastern section of Kansas the conditions were more favorable than in the past as in that and in the other sections of the state as it did not experience the wet weather that the other had. The Fulcaster yielded comparatively well for the fourth consecutive term season. Harvest Queen made a better comparative yield than for any preceeding year, except 1917. The Currel and Miracle did not make as good an average as usual as there many varieties injured by the dry weather during the winter months.

In the northeastern part the Harvest Queen outyielded the Fulcaster for the first time since the cooperative tests have been under way. The Harvest Queen is more winter hardy than the other soft wheats and this probably accounts for its superior yield. This variety was injured less" than the other soft wheats by cold weather. The Currel and Miracle were winter killed badly. These varieties should not be recommended for northern Kansas.

The Harvest Queen is perhaps the best variety to grow throughout this section. It will not outyield Fulcaster on the average, but will prove more popular since the latter variety is headed while the Harvest Queen is beardless. Kanred outyielded Turkey while both of! these varieties outyielded soft wheats The results should be expected in a season as dry as that of 1917-1918. I. N.

"Chapman has also received reports on the results, of cooperative Fertilizer tests on winter wheat in 191 s. They were taken from 14 fertilizer: tests in Shawnee, Leavenworth, Franklyn and Anderson. Neosho, Labette, Cherokee, Montgomery, Wilson and Harvev counties. These results agree with those secured in similar tests conducted since 1914. This data shows the element of fertility re-j sponsible for increases in the yield of wheat in soils where fertilizers can be used to advantage.

The report averaged about 26.6 bushel which is the yield of grain per acre. The re- suits show that phosporous was the only element of fertility that wasj profitably utilized as a fertilizer on wheat. Nitrogen increased the yield one bushel per acre. Evidently seasonal conditions determine whether or not nitrogen can be profitably ap plied. In 1917, nitrogen was used to; good advantage.

Conditions for nu- trification were not as favorable as normal for that season, while in 191S they were more favorable, than usual. This probably accounts for the conflicting results for the use of ni-: trogen for this season. Fertilizers i failed to reduce a profit in a number; of tests, especially those on black, limestone and creek or river bottom lands. With the exception of one i test in Harvey county, fertilizers were not profitably utilized in cen-: tral Kansas. The wheat crop this year was probably the best in sv- eral years as it averaged bout 24 bushels to the acre.

Seed wheat is bringing the price of $2. IS while; first class wheat is bringing to some farmers as high as $2.50 per bushel. DEATH OF HERMAN' SIMON. End Came to Cigar Manufacturer Following An Oiwration. Word was received here by Mayor J.

C. Davis, telling of the death of Herman Simon, a well known Leavenworth man who was born and reared in Leavenworth. In recent years Simon left Leavenworth and went to St. Louis where he went into the wholesale cigar business and it was in St. Louis that he died according to the report received here by Mr.

Davis. Mr. Simon underwent an operation for a small growth on his lip and never recovered from the operation. Herman Simon is the son of the late Professor Simon of this city who was well known for his musical abilities and as an excellent music teacher. Herman Simon, his son, was in the grocery business on the corner of Fifth and Ottawa for many years.

His death is one that will be sad news to many Leavenworth boys. The surviving relatives are one daughter Mrs. Ethel Meyerott and one son, Herman. By Printing the Names of Men Supposed to le elinquent, Many Have Names Cleared. Below is a list of the delinquents, published by the draft board.

Through various channels, the Post lias determined the names of many of the men in the service and put them on the other side of the list. Although the large proportion of the names are still on the delinquent eide, the majority of the men are prisoners who were in the State penitentiary when they registered and were later released and the local board here can obUin no trace of them. Several of the men on the cleared side of the list, read in The Tost that they were regarded as delinquents and went over to the board and reported. Several parents of the boys, who were on the original list, have made an affidavit that their boy is in the service and have thus cleared his name. The public is requested to scan carefully the list of names on the delinquent side and if they can give any information to the Post concerning the men who are on the delinquent side, we will appreciate it and it will help materially towards clearing the men's names.

If necessary we will publish the list below with the changes that have been made from time to time until all of the men on the list have been accounted for. The list of delinquents with a correction for those who have found to be in the service is as follows: -n cleared: Jerry Lambkins. Harry Wimer. Harry O'Garvey. Eugene Owens.

B. Shaughnessey labor representative for this county. The class of work called for are tool makers; gauge makers; machinists; riveters; boilers; coppersmiths; griddley tool setters: and anglesmiths. Anyone interested in any of these lines and are willing to work for the government may apply to Jos. O'Brien at the Keteheson print shop or Wm.

B. Shaughnessey. who are both labor representatives for this county. The government is running short of skilled labor and if enough men cannot be found it will probably mean another labor draft law to be passed which would mean the shifting of labor to parts of the country where it would be needed. Miss Laura Copeland of Easton was in Leavenworth yesterday for the purpose of trading with local merchants.

Ford, which we are fighting is not only a great obligation but likewise a great opportunity. Such a contribution as that made by the forces of organized labor of Alameda County is significant of the spirit and aspirations with which men everywhere are working for the realization of our common desire that no effort shall be spared and nothing shall be left undone which can contribute promptly to the winning of this war being waged in the interest of all that civilization represents. (Signed) NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War. "What organized labor has done in Alameda County in giving labor and materials for the addition to the Defenders' Recreation Club is only one other evidence of the spirit of service and help which has characterized that patriotic body of men since the war began.

Second only to the men in the trenches and on the decks of fighting ships have been the men who have manufactured munitions and constructed ships. Under the leadership of Secretary Wilson and Mr. Gompers they have set an example of patriotic devotion to their country worthy of the highest commendation. I congratulate the people of Oakland that the representatives of organized labor of that city have set such a high standard. I wish I could have been present in person to extend my greetings to them.

Mrs. Abe Laird and daughter Francis and grand-daughter Katheleen returned yesterday from Kansas City after a two weeks visit with friends and relatives. 3 BABIES HAVE EXAMINED Clinic Y. Held Each Wednesday at C. A.

BAKER AND DANIELS PRAISE UNION LABOR Spirit of Service and Help Manifested In California Characteristic Elsewhere. Oakland, Aug. 2 4. When Secretary of War Newton D.

Baker and Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels were informed by Alexander Stewart, community organizer of the War Camp Community Service in this city, that several hundred union laborers, representing every branch of the building trades of Alameda Countyj built in two days with unj0n materials purchased by themselves an addition to the Defenders' Recreation club of the War Camp Community Service which practically doubled its capacity, they wired him as follows: "I have learned with much interest of the generous contribution made by organized labor in Alameda County in contributing the work and materials free for the building of an addition to the Defenders' Reelection club in Oakland to be opened by the War Camp Community Service. The waging cf war successfully under present conditions required the closest sort of co-opera-( tion not only of all the different branches of the government but likewise of all factors in our civil life as well as in the military activities. The efforts and struggles of the men overseas acquire new significance under the increasing unity and singleness of purpose at home whicla make the conviction ccme to all that participate in whatever way possible in the effort to establish, tie ideal for neglect of duty and has a habit of going with other men.
