Marne That Saved France
To Supply Big Wheat Crop
PARIS, Aug. 21. (/P)—'The battle
fields of the Marne, where the Am
ericans helped the French turn the
tide of war seven years ago, will fur
nish a bumper crop of wheat this
year. The Depai tmeut of the Marne
and ‘.he P.uie were rated at the end
of June at 90 in the official crop es
timates, while 80 is exceedingly good
and far above the average of recent
years. Thirty-three of the 80 depart
ments were rated 80 to 85, yet gov
ernment officials are wondering if
they will not again this year be ob
liged to import some wheat to meet
with ordinary requirements.
Agricultural experts say that while
the crops look good, the rust has
done much damage and that an early
July estimate of 90,000,000 metric hun
dred weight or 324,000,000 bushels of
wheat must now be reduced to about
288,900,000 bushels. France consumes
about 325,000,000 bushels every year.
The harvest which began recently
in some departments, is just in tinje
to keep the mills going, the stocks
on haffd having been practically ex
hausted so that if the agricultural
experts are nearer right than the of
ficial crop judges, France will have
to buy abroad nearly as much wheat
as she imported last year. It is
pointed out, however, that the agri

Sweetser Expects to Set
Fast Pace on Golf Links
OAK MONT, Pa., Aug. 21. (/P)—Jess
William Sweetser has given warning
this year that he will make trouble
for the nation’s amateur golfers in
their annual meeting at Oakmont
Country Club, beginning August 31.
At Merion a year ago the former
Yale star failed to qualify for the
match play, one of the greatest sur
prises of the tournament, for he was
a youngster who had just come in
to the ranks of the leaders through
winning the intercollegiate cham
pionship of 1920, beating Chick Evans
in the finals of the amateur title play
in 1922, and gaining the runner-up po
sition to Max Marston, in 1923, the
Philadelphian winning at the 38th
hole.
In his first appearance in the am
ateur as collegian in 1920, he reach
ed the third round where he was el
iminated by Fred J. Wright.
This year Sweetser forced his way
through to the title in the Metropol
itan amateur title and gave critics
reason to believe that he had regain
ed the consistency and confidence,
when he marched to his national con
quest at Brookline three years ago,
pushing aside Willie Hunter, Jess
Guilford, Bobby Jones and Evans.
Clifford Lideen, whose illness left
him a cripple in his first college year
has graduated from the University of
Iowa by radio.
In Idaho about 500 pounds of uails,
tacksand other metals were picked
off less than two miles of highway
by dragging an 1800 magnet over it.
Suing for divorce Mrs. Mary Kline
of New York testified that her hus
band would not speak to her but com
municated by writing her notes.
