Wet weather ha damaged winter wheat and delayed threshing. In Kansas not more than half the crop haa been threshed. Addi tional Inquiries by crop reporters this month, however, resulted In the crop reporting boards making no change in its August prediction of 659.000,000 bushel of winter wheat. Conditions for the spring wheaLcropi have been Ideal lately, and threshing discloses yield above the average and o fexcellent quality. As a result of the favorable condi tions the spring wheat production fere cast was increased 15.000,000 bushels to a total of 322.000,000 bushels. When the final canvass is made the entire wheta production probably will reach one billion bushels Corn production prospects incresed 67,000,000 bushels during August, the forecast now being 2,985,000.000 bush els. Although that exceeds last year's crop by more than 110.000,000 bushels. It falls 139.000.000 bushels short of the record crop of 1912. Oats may reach a record, the Sep tember forecast being 1,408,000.000 bushel, which is 167,000,000 more than was harvested last year, but 10.000,000 bushels below the record crop of 1912 Indications point to record crops of barley, rye. sweet potatoes, tobacco, rice and hay. The apple and peach crops also are far above the averagw in production. LIQUOR RAID MADE AND ONE ARRESTED FOR BLIND-PIGGING F. A.

R. Anderaon. the man who In troduced the prohibition bill, in the j pulpit of the Flrat Methodlat church Sunday night. Dr. Anderaon replied to statement recently made by Oeorge ( ,,rown". ho denounce, the hill aa an Insult to the people of the elate, al I though the tpeaker Sunday night did not mention Mr. nrowaeU' name. Court Decisions Quoted. Doth .tale supreme court, and the i t. it.-1 8tate. (upretne courts had held against prohibition taws which abso lutely prohibited the ahipment of liquor 'rom a wet to a dry state, be said. He mentioned the Oklahoma law which was declared unconstitutional In the federal supreme court In a toQetiPtl thai one quart of wblakey. the limit under the atatute, waa an unreasonable restriction. The Oklahoma taw now provides that nn more than one half gallon of liquor ran be shipped into tba itate at one lime. The case of the state ot Kentucky rs. the Adam Express' company, which was carried to the highest court in the uUoili was also dlsrusaed by Dr. An- I feraon. The expreaa company won ' after being arreated on a charge of carrying liquor Into a territory dry . under the local option statute. The liquor was shipped from a neighboring tate and the aupreme court ruled that a state may not regulate traffic strict ly interstate. In the Kentucky law. Dr. ruler -ic said. a., attempt waa mad.' ' j make the place of delivery the place of sale, but this too. failed. Weta Seek Invalid Measure A far as ne personally was con cerned. Dr. Anderson declared that he would like to have a law which would absolutely prohibit the sale, manufac ture and use of liquor. "I would like to see the day when every drop was Wtt ti. perdictioi' he said. '! onlv wish that a drastic law was posaible. one that would prevent the handling of liquor in any way." But such a law- " tho,,fh '"P.tiM w"l other law. Dr. Anderson declared that the liquor interests during the legislature exerted every effort to secure a drastic dry law. knowing that such a statute would soon be knocked out by the courts. "A copy of a paper called the Hop Growers' Journal, which was edit ed by a man named Cooper, was pre sented to every representative during the session," he said. "Cooper was the sou of a saloon keeper and the prin cipal plea of his paper was for a dras tic prohibition lnw which would abso lutely prevent the importation of liquor." Law Carefully Prepared. The careful preparation of the nieas Uie, the -vecks ano weeks of painstak ing work of the leaders in the state-dry movement were told by Or. Anderson. The tentative prohibition bill was in troduced in the house by Dr. Anderson after district attorneys, attorney gen erals and other state officers in a doz en states had been consulted and a score of dry laws had been read. The bill was referred to the alcoholic com mittee for every night trom S to 12 j lor almost four weeks, the committee j met to work on the measure. The j Prohibition party, the Committee of ! One Hundred, the Woman's Christian Temperance I'nion and individual lend- ers had been called into consultation and y,eW8 hag een workp( tne mtwTt before thc w WU8 lnken up again by the house. Dr. Anderson said that Oregon was profiting by the mistakes of other states and had a bill to be proud of. In closing his address. Dr. Anderson read parts of the law and explained it. impossible, reminded his audience that one person or family could receive only 24 quarts of beer or two quarts of whJs- key, made clear the rigid restriction placed around drug stores which nan- died ethyl alcohol. Letters from the state's dry leaders were read which strongly commended the new measure. THREE COUPLES DIVORCED Thre divorce decrees were signed Tuesday by Circuit Judge Campbell.
