C., June 10. —A bum per wheat crop, sufficient to mill more than 16,500,000 barrels of flour anti which may reach the proportion of the record wheat harvest of 1901 if condi tions from now on are exceptionally favorable is forecasted by the depart ment of agriculture in its June crop report. Government experts estimated this year's harvest would be 744,000,003 bushels, of which 492,000,000 bushels will be winter wheat and 252,000,0 K) bushels spring wheat. An increase of mor than one per cent, over last year’s acreage was planted to cats this year, but the con dition of this crop on June 1 was below the ten-year average, and officials es timate the production will he 1,104,000,- 000 bushels, or more than 300,000,000 bushels below last year’s harvest. Producers in the United States were receiving for their staple crops. 28 per cent, less on June 1 than at the same time last year 5.1 per cent, less than in 1911, and 9.2 less than in 1910. The average price for corn on June 1 was 60.6 cents, against 82.5 last year; for wheat, 82.7, against 102.8; for oats, 36 against 55.3; for barley, 52.7 against 91.1; for rye, 64.1 against 86.1 and for potatoes, 55.2 against 119.7. Prices paid for meat animals on Mav is, according to the department of agriculture, averaged about 10.7 per cent .higher than at the same time last year, 27.7 higher than two years ago, but 4 per cent, lower than in 1910. The average price for hogs per 100 pounds on May 15 was $7.45, against $6.79 last year; for beef cattle, 6.01 against 5.36; for veal calves, 7.17 against 6.23; for sheep, 4.91 against 4.74; for lambs, 6.66 against 6.06. CRITICISES WIVES WHO PREFER DOGS Continued from page six time ago SIO,OOO or $15,000* was con sidered a reasonable figure. To the wife of William Gould Brokaw was awarded $15,000, and her husband was reputed to be worth $2,000,000. “When women are married to a man fortunate enough to have a mil lion dollars they come into court and say that their social position requires an exorbitant amount of alimony. It will take me but a very little time to decline this motion. Justice Apsinwall reserved decision, however, and took the papers in the case. Mr. Willett alleged that as Mr. Heve was paying $4,500 for an apart ment at a hotel for the correspondent and was spending large sums other wise not on Mrs. Heye, he should be compelled to pay for the support of hds wife and their two children in the same manner to which they had been accustomed. He said that the rooms in the Langdon hotel cost $lO,- 000 a year, that the food cost S2OO n month and automobiles S7OO a month. Clothes and entertaining, he said would make it necessary for Mrs. Heye to have the amount asked for. In her petition Mrs. Heye named one of the correspondents as Myrtle Vincen, or Vinson, and said Mr. Heye had taken her on voyages to the West Indies, where he went in search of historical data concerning the American Indian. Isaac E. Oeland, of Brooklyn, Mr. Heye's attorney, replied that through his wife’s extravagance, Mr. Heye, who was left more than a million dollars by his father, now was worth only about $360,000, with an income of $29,000 a year. He said that “the insatiable desire for social promi nence, the ungovernable temper and the excessive drinking of the plaintiff caused such an expenditure that Mr. Heye's property was much reduced.’’ A man should no more neglect to I take care of his health than a mechan ic bis tools. THE AMERICbS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER. COLD WEATHER MAT INJURE COTTON CROP Fear Expressed Here By Farmers That the unusually cold weather pre vailing yesterday will result in mate rial injury to the young cotton crop was the fear expressed by farmers who came to Americus to attend the court session, or upon other business. This opinion was very general among the farmers, and doubtless is well founded. Cotton is among the most sensitive ot local crops and cannot withstand coll to any great extent. It is essentially a sun plant, and thrives in hot weather, standing long periods of drouth with little apparent injury. Here in Sumter and adjoining coun ties a considerable portion of the cot ton crop is just now coming up, and is at the tenderest stage. A great deal i)f this cotton, of the re-planted portion, has come up within the past week, and ii cold weather continues it may 1 killed or seriously injured. The continued rains, which have lasted now for a week, are injuring the cotton to some extent as well, be sides bringing up a crop of grass, which the farmers may find difficulty in handling unless good plowing weather comes again soon.
