The yield of the wheat crop In
Gullford county will be. from 70 to
80 per cent., according to Farm Dem-onstration
Agent E. B. Garrett.
Rains within the past month have
to a great degree hindered the
progress vof the wheat. This has
caused much straw to form and the
heads are not filling out as they
should. ' ,
Farmers who planted their wheat
late are fortunate, tor the weather
conditions were much more favor-able
In the latter part of the grow-ing
season. The late crop has light
straw and the heads are well filled
with grain.
Earlier in the season some farm-ers
In estimating their crops thought
that the yield would be very near a
full one. The stalks were large with
big beads, but when tbe wheat was

oases that the heads bad not filled defendant and plaintiff, testified that
out.
In some parts of the county con-ditions
have been more favorable
than others an4 the growers are ex-pecting
a teol yield.
The grain In many parts of the
county has been attacked' by pests
of files andi much damage to being
done to wheat. The fly attacks the
stalk, causing l» to break off at the
third joint. Just below the break
the fly deposits some eggs. They
infest whole fields at a time and
spread rapidly.
Fields where the flies are- notice-able
should be plowed Immediately
and sowed in peas, beans, or some
other cover Crop, so as to destroy
the eggs. If these eggs are not de-stroyed
flies will hatch out next
year.
Wheat harvest Is now In progress
In Gullford and within a short time
It may be possible to obtain more
definite Information regarding tbe
yield.
Hay and oats are In an excellent
condition and a full crop to expect-ed..
Winter oats ore the beat that
have been grown In many years. Dae
to excessive rain, the farmers have
had much trouble In saving the hay
crops.
Judging from reports of crop con-ditions
from other counties Gullford
county Is just about on a par with
the remainder of the state. Condi-tions
generally are far below nor-mal.
Much corn In Gullford and ad-joining
counties is late thle year. In
fact, In a number of Instances farm-ers
have not finished planting their
corn. Tobacco also has been consid-erably
damaged by rains.

Chicago, June 28.—Two possible
means of averting the threatened
rail strike of 400,000 shopmen sug-gested
themselves to railroad circles
tonight followed by what B. M. Jew-ell,
head of the shop unions, termed
the "last word" to tbe railroads In
the union ultimatum, sent to the As-sociation
ot Railway Executives last
night.
The executives, »y eelncidence,
were scheduled to meet In Chicago
tomorrow afternoon and local rail-road
executives today said the shop-men's
proposal of a truce pending
further negotiations on wages and
working conditions would undoubt-edly
receive attention.
The certain rejection of the-union
proposal left in the opinion of the
railroad men, but two possible loop-holes
to avoid issuance bt thesstrike
call. -..,
One was that a conference be-tween
the union leaders and,'the> ex-ecutives
might be called tomorrow
and If no agreement was reached a*
technical dispute bight be an-nounced,
over which the railroad la-bor
board, acting ._ under authority
of the transportation act, could take
Jurisdiction as it did in the Big Four
brotherhoods' strike last year and
act to prevent a walkout.
The other was that if the strike is
called, the board could also take
jurisdiction under tbe act, on the
ground that the strike would Inter-rupt
commerce, and order the men
back to work.

RAILWAY MEN WILL
STRIKE AS PLANNED
Will Strike July 1 Unless Wage Re-duction
Is Stayed—Based On
Vote of Men
Chicago, June 28.—A strike of the
400.000 railway shop men ot the
country will be called tor July 1, un-less
the railroads agree to stay the
$60,000,000 wage cut due the shop
workers on that date and to restore
certain working conditions formerly
in effect. It was made known last
night through a telegram from B. M.
Jewell, head ot the shop crafts, to
the Associstlon of Railway Execu-tives.
Decision to call a strike came late
today after a lengthy discussion by
the executive committee of the six
shop crafts unions, based on the
strike vote ot the men thus far tab-ulated.
Should the rail heads r.rrange an
Immediate Conference, agreeing
meanwhile to continue present
wages, restore working rules modi-fled
by the railroad labor board and
discontinue farming out railroad
work, however, a walkout can be
halted, the telegram said.' Other-wise
"a sanction of withdrawal from
922, as voted
the case was ealled for trial Jack-son
wasn't here.' The bondsman,
however, hated to\ see his money go
and some time later affidavits were
produced to show that Jackson waa
dead. Poor follow, he had died in
a logging camp near Greenville, 8.
A picture of
his grave was also produced.
But the sheriff of surry cotthty
happened to be here on official busi-ness
one day and he told Gullford
authorities that Jackson was alive
and well and the man was brought
back to jail here. Jackson doesn't
like confinement, so he got out on
bond of $500 again. He was broke^
but he borrowed $3.50 from Mike
Caffey and that is the last of htm.
It Is not known whether he went off
to die or not. However, noboay
here has sent any posies to be placed
on his grave.
His bond was ordered forfeited.
