Crops of Oats to Be Gpown at Lara mie, Wyo., and at .Lethbridge, In Western Canada, to Decide Relative Merits of Farming by Irrigation and Natural Rainfall. The relative merits of farming by Irrigation and by natural rainfall and whother or not the United States or western Canada can produce a larger crop of oats are to be decided for a bet of $10,000 in cash, according to the terms of a contest which was recently arranged between farmers of Laramie, Wyo., and Lethbridge, Alberta, says a Cheyenne (Wyo.) dispatch., The $10, 000 has been posted, and all the de tails of the contest have been arranged. Colonel E. J. Bell of Laramie, owner of the largest farm in Wyoming, put up the $10,000 which says that irriga. tion and the United States can do bet ter than Canada. A syndicate of farm ers around Lethbridge, Alberta, head ed by Professor W. H. Fairchild of that city, ' has covered Colonel Bell's money and says that natural rainfall and .Canadian soil can raise more oats to the acre than can Colonel Bell, "Wy oming and irrigation. On the American side the oats which will be entered in the contest will be grown by Colonel Bell himself on his great Laramie plains farm. This farm is more than 7,000 feet above sea level, on the western slope of the first range of the Rocky mountains, and depends entirely upon irrigation for its moisture during the summer. For years Colo nel Bell has paid particular attention' to the raising of oats, and he holds a record of 13" bushels to the acre. By carefully selecting the seed, specially preparing the soil and closely watch ins his ditches to see that just the necessary amount of water reaches his oats at the needful time Colonel Bell says he can considerably increase the yield of his. oat fields. In Canada the prize oats will be grown by farmers around Lethbridge, with Professor W. H. Fairchild in charge of the preparations and the harvest, Frofessor Fairchild has for years studied the crops in southern Alberta, and many of the great yields of wheat and oats from Canadian fields are due to the adoption of his theories by the farmers of his section. There are only two rules to the con test. One of them is that the yield from 100 acres in one body must be considered. The other rule is that the oats entered must be "standard" grade, or better. Either contestant maypre pare the -groiisd, sow his seed,'. culti vate and harvest in artf manner' he chooses. Nothing but the result from 100 acres will count In awarding the prize. The Alberta , farmers them selves are something in the way of oat raisers, and government reports from that province show that yields of 120 to 125 bushels per acre are common. Oat straw five feet in height is the ordi nary, according to these reports. The contest is to be decided by the officials of the National Corn show. Harvest in Wyoming occurs, very late in August and in Alberta in Septem ber, so that the winner will not be an nounced until probably the first week in October.

Bloomington and Decatur Teams Play ed Twenty-six Innings. Bloomington and Decatur of the Three I league recently broke at Bloomington, 111., the world's profes sional record for long baseball games, playing twenty-six innings. Decatur won, 2 to 1. The grounds were muddy and slip pery, but the fielding on both sides was extraordinary, and the pitching of Burns and Clark was phenomenal. The game was called for fifteen min utes on account of the rain in the fifth inning. The actual playing time was four hours and ," twenty , minutes. Bloomington scored its one run in the first inning, while Decatur scored one in the third and one in the twenty sixth, loomington made . thirteen base hits and committed one error, while Decatur hit eleven .times with' two errors. , Bloomington after the long grind pro tested the game on the allegation that Fieher, who got to first on a dead ball and scored on a three bagger, cut sec ond base, v 1 Novelty, In Islands. : A great French gun Company has constructed an artificial island in the Mediterranean sea some, distance out from Toulon to be used as an experi mental station for torpedoes. . It is called the "He des Torpilles," which means the Island of Torpedoes, and the method of its construction is in genious. When the idea first present ed itself to the company a small island in a proper locality was searched for, but without success. Therefore the company decided to build a hollow concrete island, float it to the position desired and sink it to the sea bottom. The huge structure, seventy-five feet long, fifty feet wide and about seven ty feet in height, was constructed on the banks' of the Seine, launched and towed to its position in the Mediter Weather Charts In Schools. : Study of weather charts is now gen eral In the elementary schools of Han over and Schleswig-Holstein with the 'object of making their value in agri culture better known. HvRrtE O. GAYLCRD. lit, laoa, by American Press Asso ciation.! My cousin, Betty Archibald, is scat ter brained. As i was about to wife Oil the 5:00 train topenu the week end at her cottage by the sea she sunt Je this telegram: VlO Will be at Slation at 5:1.V Rrinsr lij.r down: ..- 1 knew iio more who Vic was than the contents of a Hottentot uewsyaiter. What should I do go to the station and trust to luuUV That was all I could do, and that I did. There was the usual rush to get aboard that mie finds on the last days of the week at trains going to seaside resorts. There were a dozen people ahead of me at the. ticket office, among them a pretty girl to whom the agent gave a ticket to Manasquan, which was my station. Of course I took note of her and hoped sue might turn out to be Vic, but there was only the rea son of her destination. I walked about for ten minutes before the train start ed, observing every one who seemed to be looking for some one. All I could see were a youngster of eighteen who waited at the gate till the starting bell rang and a man with a dog, who leaned against a post. -; As the train rolled off I entered a car, and there sat the girl with the Manasquan ticket. I stared at her, and, after looking at me for a mo ment, she dropped her eyes. Beside her on the seat was a suit case, which I noticed was marked V. T. That set tled it. She must be Vic. Instead of approaching, her and asking her if she was the girl I looked for 1 concluded to gain the information on the detec tive plan. It would be interesting to discover her identity by following the clew given me on her suit case. It would be more interesting to know hev, she not knowing- me. It would be downright fun to take her to my hostess, chaff Bet for her failure to give me proper information, then tell them both that by my ingenuity I had, after all, been enabled to do all that had been required of me. Raising my hat, I said to her: "Pardon me, but I think we are go ing to the same station, and. arrived there, we will be entertained at the same house." "Yes?" she replied, with a smile. "You are going to Manasquan, I be lieve?" "I am." "And you will be the guest of my consin?" ' v She put the suit case on the floor, and I sat down beside her. ?;'.'Who is your cousin?" "I have thought that, it would be en tertaining to have you see if by ques tiof'!ig me you can find out who I -am .iod cer':ain orders I have received re-' specting yon." V- .;'-'.-.,'. "That would serve to while away the time we shall spend on the train." "Will you begin?" "Let me see. You are Harold Bliss?" "No." "Not Rose Dutton's fiance?" "No. I wish I were any one's fiance." " "I give it up." "Can't you guess my orders?" , "No." ; "I;am directed to be your escort." - "You don't mean it." "Yes; I was telegraphed to meet you at the station to escort you to Manas quan and thence to" "Where?" "To tell you would spoil all the fun." And," she said, after a little thought, "to tell you where I'm going would spoil all the fun too." " "It certainly would. The person from whom I received my orders is very careless and gave no clew by which to recognize you. Nevertheless I have secured a clew. Do you like to read detective-stories?" "I dote on them." "Well, we are enacting a little de tective story. When we get to the end of our journey we shall have the de nouement." "I dare say it will all be very clever. How did you happen to think of such a -plan?" "Manasquan!" shouted a trainman. I picked up her suit case and left the car with her. I was about to hand her down the step when a gentleman put his own hand in ahead of me. He stared, at me ominously. The lady said: . "Mack, this gentleman has enter tained me delightfully on the train. He knows me, but I don't know, him. He says he was ordered to escort me home." '-':. I ttidn't like' this feature of the af fair at all. v "Come, Ginnie,' the carriage is wait ing," said the young man, casting a suspicious glance at me. "Heavens! Ginnie!" I had blun dered., ' - "Is not your first name Victoria?" -Oh, no; it's Virginia!" 3 got very red in the -face and stood mute. j"The denouement is different" said the girl, "from what the story indi cates. ; I admire such endings." She. smiled back at me with dancing eyes as she left with the man. whom instinct told me was her fiance. ' When I reached th6 Archibald, cot tage the first thing Bet said, to ma was: h : ' . ... "Where's Vic?" "Who the dickens is Vic?" I asked angrily. - . .. . . "My poodle.; Thomas was. to have her at the station for you. Didn't yon see him?" i'y-- "Yea, I saw him," I growled, "but I dldn t know him.
