SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1925 ai te GORNCROP IN WNOMING 1 LARGE] GONOVTIONS PRO Cooler temperatures with only local. showers favored growing crops which made some improvements in condition, according to the monthly. crop report issued by the Wyoming Crops and Livestock Reporting Ser- vice. Corn is progressing rapidly toward maturity and promises a large crop. Harvesting and thresh- ing. of the small grains and beans were favored with very good weather. The second and third cuttings of hay are being put away and fall plow- ing and sowing of winter grains are making good progress except in sonve of the drier sections. Potatoes anid sugar beets are reported in very good condition, _.Corn is making rapid progress toward maturity and gives promise ofa large crop. It has fired to some extent in some of the dry land sec- tions of the northeastern counties but generally it hag not been hurt. Some has been cut for fodder in the} woytheast as an effort to preserve its feeding value. It {s thought that with another two or three weeks of favorable weather the crop will be out of frost danger, The condition of 91 per cent of normal fore an average yield of 23.4 bushe acre and-a total production of 3,- 987,000 bushels. The production last Year was estimated at 2,310,000 b and that of the five year ge at 2,645,000 bushels. The spring wheat crop promises very good yields in nearly every section. However, a few-of the dry farms report a,short crop due to dry and hot weather at the critical atase, while in the high altitudes ¢arly frost prevented the crop from maturing for grain. Cutting and thréshing in many sections has been favored by good weather and the work has progressed rapidly. The condition of the crop Js placed at 88 per cent of normal and forecast an average yield of 18 bushels per acre. Production is estimated at 2,358,000 bushéls, compared with 1,875,000 bushels last year and 2,590,000 byshels, the five year average pro- duction, No change is made in the Avgust preliminary estimate of win. tar wheat of 272,000 bushels. Total wheat production is placed at 2,- 630,000 bushels which compares with ,000 bushels last year and the year average production of 2,- 00 bushels. Oats suffered somewhat from dry weather and a large acreage will bo eut for hay. However, that which will be cut for grain promises fair returns while very large yields are reported from some of the irrigated sections where the harvest is in full swing. A further decline is reported in the condition of the crop from 89 per cent to 57 per cent of normal. It forecasis an average yield of 34 bushels per acre and a total produc tion of 5,984,000 bushels. The pro- duction in 1924 was 5,239,000 bushels while the five year average produc: tion is 6,240,000 bushels. ‘Fhe condition of barley is 90 per went of normal or the same as a@ moénth ago, It has come through the unfavorable weather in better shape than some of the other grains and harvesting is progressing rapid. ly. Some very large yields have deen reported and it is expected that the crop will supply a large amount ef feed for stock this winter. The forecasted yield per acre ts 32 bushels, making a total production of 1,344,000 bushels as compared with 900,000 bushels last year. The above forecast of production is ap- proximately twice the five year aver- age production and shows that the crop is continually gaining favor. Rye production remains the same as last month's preliminary estimate of 388,000 bushels. In the irrigated sections potatoes haye done well and yields from the early maturing flelds ave turning out good. Shipments began some: what earlier this season than last and are a great dea! heavier. Around 39 cars have moved from local ship- ping points up to August 29 as com> pared with 19 cars to August 20 last year and the total last season's movement of 659 cars. Very good prices have been received for the early season shipments. The con dition of the crop as of September } ia 92 per cent of normal or three points above that of last month compares with §3 per cent, the te year average on date, 1 above condition f an aye age yield of 12 Is per acre and a total production of 2,108,000 bushels. Last the mat production w 520,000 bi while the five year average produc: Hon. ia 1,087,000 bushels, The condition of all time hay shows a two point imprevement over that of a month ago and is reported at 95 per cent of normal now, Local shewers and good growing weather have helped the crop. Alfalfa and some of the clover hays were cut for the third time in the lower regions and the second time in the higher altitudes. Some difficulty. has been experienced in putting up the erop properly in the western and southwestern counties as rains havo been too frequent to make good buy- ing weather, Some damage to the quality of the cured product has been done. This month's condition fopecasta an ay ge yield of 1.95 tens per acre and a total production of 1,470,000 tons compared with the 1924 crop of 1,333,000 tons and ts the five year average production of 1,845,000 tons. The condition of alfalfa is estimated at 86 per cent of normal and that of the clovers at 99 percent, Timothy y: rage, are reported at 1. ‘while that of mixed clover and ‘timothy ts 2.00 tons per acre. ‘The quality of these two classes of lay {a éstimated to bo 98 per cent of @ high medium grade. The acreage of ‘wild hay cut this year is estimated at 328,000 acres, or four per cént greater than the 318,000 acres cut last year. With an average yield of 1,05 tons per aere the total production 1s eat! mated at) 344,000 tong and compares with 284,000 tons qygity of hey put up fi ported to be 94 per cent of a high medium The aggregate hay produc- for the state is placed at 1, $146,000 tons as compared with 1, > > - e 617,000 tons in 1924 and 1,631,000 tons the five year average crop. The bean crop has made some im- provement in condition during the past thirty days. Favorable weather for harvesting has prevailed and the operations have made rapid progress... The condition of 94 per cent of normal forecasts an average yleld of 14 bushels per acre and a total production of 140,000 bushels. The seed pea harvest is about com: pleted and very good returns were had, There were a few failures due toa poor start but most growers are optimistic and intend to devote a larger acreage to this crop next year.

A. A. sanction, recently completed the first really continuous transcontinental drive ever made. Wade left Los Angeles at 12:00 noon Thursday and arrived in New York at 12:50 p.m. one week later. He was accompanied and relieved at the wheel by Linton Wells, the news- paper correspondent who stowed away in Wade's plane from India to Persia. Official A.A. A. observers were in the car every foot of the way from coast to coast anid have certified that in the 165 hours and 50 minutes elapsed time these two tireless men drove 3,965 miles without once allowing either the motor or the car to come to a stop. Pas unique feat was undertaken by the daring pilot of the “Boston” as a “‘va- cation pastime” while on leave from the army. Wade and Wells wanted to attempt again something which had never before been done. Cross-country speed runs were an old story. But a non-stop wheel and motor run—driv- ing a car from ocean to ocean within legal speed limits, without a second’s halt for any purpose whatever—here was something new indeed! Chooses Packard Eight * Two of Wade's companions on the historic world flight, Lieutenants Smith and Arnold, own Packard Eights. Their advice agreed with his judgment and he bought a Packard Eight in which to attempt his record run. His choice was a sound one. The Packard Bight never once in seven days and nights s¢ased its forward motion. Gas, oil, food and JOE E.

Packard SACI Ww HO ****T would never have any other car but the Packard Eight, for I know that the Packard is the only car equipped with the chassis lubricator and the motor oil rectifier, **** These devices enabled us to drive the entire : 3,965 miles without once changing oil or leaving the ' driver's seat to lubricate the chassis. To them the wonderful Packard Eight motor which never fal- tered in the 165 hours and 50 minutes continuous driving, I attribute the success of the run. * sg : *We have Suffered no after effects from strain. } This is a real tribute to the ease with which the car was handled and its riding qualities, **** The car came through with a perfect score. We had My no mechanical difficulties of any kind. I believe we could have turned right around and driven back to Los Angeles without Stopping either car or motor.

The chassis was thoroughty lubricated every hundred miles—without stopping the car — by the mere pull of a plunger er the dash Value of Improvements Confirmed Lieutenant Wade's spectacular trip merely served to impress what the owners ot !5,000 new series Packard cars have learned in the past seven months. For these owners have found in their cars the most important new improvements since the electric self-starter —the chassis lubricator and the mator oil rectifier. To the average owner these improvements mean longer life of parts, lower costs for oil, quietness of operation and service uninter- rupted by frequent giving up of the car for chassis lubrication.
