Mrs. Watkins Termed
Kansas Wheat Queen
' Sublette, Kan., Joily 22.?A middleaged
woman of 58 is provmg thai
there's money to be made in wheat
farming, with or without farm
"relief."
They call Mrs. Ida Watkins the
"wheat queen" of Kansas primarily \
l>ecause her farm illustrates an application
of big business methods to
Agriculture. She has adapted metro- ^
politan factory methods to her 4,500 j
acres near here to earn that title.
A cattle queen of Oklahoma before
?he came to Kansas to raise golden
fields of grain on a large scale, Mrs.
Watkins, a widow, will see her 20
years of farming climaxed this year
by the largest crop she has harvested.
And this woman who is shoeing
the way to the wheat farmers of the
West is no white collared executive.
She directs the work of her farm,
aided by the lessons her years of experience
has taught her, and when the
harvest comes, she personally supervises
the great task.
She Is systematic and businesslike
in the management of the farm.
She keeps accounts of all operations
Only the most modern farm equipment
is used. She pays her employe"
for the time they are hired, rain or
shine. Tractors work day and night.
Her business shrewdness has been
demonstrated more than once to her
financial advantage. Last year she
had 2,500 acres in wheat and when
50,000 bushels were harvested, she decided
she wouldn't sell any <>i it for
less than $1 a bushel. She waited an i
with profit. i
When her husband died in 1002,
she was left with a ranch with 1.G50
head of cattle. Assuming charge, she
operated the ranch f6Y eight years
profitably before she was lured to
Kansas by the prospect of great profits
in wheat. She bougfit some land
for $3,500 and in the first year harvested
a crop which brought her
$8,800. The acrcago was increased to
280 in 1923 and in four years, she
sold $28,000 worth of wheat from that
Lract.
This year she expects to harvest
75,000 bushels.
Mrs. Watkin's farm is a show place,
during the harvest season. She employs
scores of men who work in three
shifts of eight hours each to complet"
the gathering of grain in a minimum
time.
Mis. Watkins has her own philosophy
about farming and it contains
no cry for farm relief. To the contrary,
she avers there is no more pro
fitablo business in the midwest than
farming, and believes that wheat
farmers will find relief in cooperating
in gp-owing and marketing their crop.
"Hard work, mixed with common
senao, never starved to death op a
Kansas farm," she oftentimes has
said, and a study of her own profits
indicates the basis for her statemeut.
"They call me the wheat queen,"
she muses. "Well, if I'm queen of anything,
I'm queen of hard work."
One man was shot dead when a
crowd of striking grave diggers
charged a bus load of strike breakers
near the Calvary cemetery, Queens,
Friday. Stanley Zasadzdniski, 25, one
of the strikers, was the man killed
Between 600 and 700 men were involved
in the strike at the cemetery,
1, and caskets were buried in shallow
ditches pending the end if the strike,

Merger's Death Closes
His Stormy Career
Milwaukee, Aug. 7.?Victor L.. Berger,
69, former Socialist congressman,
and a leader of his party, died at a
hospital here today.
Death was due to injuries received
July 16 when he was struck by a
street car while leaving his newspaper
office. His condition was first
critical but later physicians pronounced
him on the road to recovery. Last
night he fell into a coma from which
he did not regain consciousness and
died after futile efforts had been
made to save his life by the administration
of oxygen.
Death terminated the stormy career
of an immigrant boy who rose to
power in national politics. While his
foreign birth prevented him from being
the Socialists' nominee for president
of the United States, he enjoyed
the satisfaction of having for
his pupil Eugene V. Debs, who was
repeatedly chosen as the standardbearer
of the party.
Victor Berger was born at Nieder,
Austria-Hungary, February 28, 1860.
After attending the Universities of
Budapest and Vienna he came to the
United States in 1878. In 1880, he
traveled westward and pettled in Milwaukee,
a teacher of (Terman in the
public schools. His rise to influence
began in 1900 when he started an
English weeklj^newspaper in Milwaukee.
Ten years later he wielded a
political power that was sufficient to
send him to Washington as a congressman.
He was re-elected to the
66th Congress in 1918 and again in
1921 despite formidable opposition.
Berger was the Socialist party's
first representative in Congress.
During the World war the publisher
was attacked from every side for
his opposition to America's entry.
From 1917 to 1921 he was barred
from using the mails as he was
chnrged with disloyalty. Berger
maintained his opposition to America's
participation in the war was not
incited by "pro-Germanism" but that
the country's action was against his
principles.
Feeling ran high against the congressman
during those years and culminated
in his sentence to 20 years
in the penitentiary. Despite his indictment
and sentence his constituents
re-elected him to the 67th Congross
with an increased plurality.
The house of representatives refused
him.a seat but he gained admission
t<> the house when the supreme court
i. versed the sentence imposed by former
Judge Kencsaw M. Landis and
quashed all other indictment.-.
At the time of his death. Ms. Berger
was publisher of the Milwaukee
I vender. His first Socialist daily was
the Yolkszei Tung, published from
1890 to 1900.

Drunken Cows.
j Oakland, Tonn., August 7.?The
' drunkenness of Dee Alley's cows cost
(him his life. The cows got drunk on
,mash they found in the woods and
{stayed out all night. Dee Alley and
bis cousin, John Alley, took their guns
and went to look for thurn. While
crawling through underbrush, John
Alley's gun was discharged accidentally
and his cousin was killed.
President Hoover this week outlined
plans to provide more room in the
'Atlanta and Ivonvonworth Federal
prisons, and will ask congress at the
| regular session to authorise th? axtensions
and appropriate
$?,000,000
to erect the necessary buildings.
/. C. Penney Leads in
Guernsey Exhibits
'
New York, Aug. 6*??'The showing
of the fftmmns J. 6. Penney herd of
Foremost Guernsey cuttle at a largo
let of Southern fairs this year is mure<i
by plans which have just been
completed by "Jimmy" Dodge, interrationally
known stock breeder and
uperin^endent of the Penney farm
it Hopewell Junction, New York,
The herd which will cover the
Southern circuit of state fairs will include
Florentine's Kastern Lydia, the
2-year old heifer which Mr. Penney
bought from J. Audrey Grant, a
Nprth Carolina 4-H Club boy, at u
price of $1,000 a few months ago.
Mr. Penney, who is the founder of
the J. C. Penney Co., is actively interested
in the South, operating a
20,000 acre farm tract in northern
Florida and being chairman of t\?e
board of Foremost Dairy Products,
Inc., with important dairy companies
in leading Southern cities.
Along with the Southern heifer for
which he paid a record price for a
dairy cow bought from a 4-H Club
boy, the herd will include ResoluteV
Kminent, one of the outstanding winners
in the junior classes for the'
past two years and' now a contender
for grand championship honors in the
male classes, and many other well
known winners of blue ribbons and
turple rosettes. *
The Foremost herd won the distinction
of taking 75 per cent of all
awards in the Guernsey breed at the
National Dairy Show last year, an
lonor never before achieved by any
>ne herd in any one breed.
It is expected that Mr. Penney will
.ccompany the herd and that he will
follow the practice which he estabished
two years ago of speaking at
farmer and dairymen meetings at
points where his cattle are being
shown.
Wanted To Be Sure
"Gus," said Bill, as he caught up
with him on the way back to camp,
'are all the rest of the boys out of
the woods yet?"
"Yes," said Gus.
"All six of them?"
"Yes, all six of them."
"And they're all safe?"
"Yep," answered Gus, "they're all
safe."
"Then," said Bill, his chest swelling,
"I shot a deer."
