NEW YORK. June 22—(UP)—
The duke of Windsor and his
American wife. Mrs Wallis War-
field. are not coming to the United
States to purchase a long Island
estate.
The duke's solicitor. A G Allen,
arrived yesterday on the Queen
Mary and said:
"I am here on private business
of my own and shall proceed at
once to Montreal I have no com-
mission either for the duke of
Windsor or his duchess It's abso-
lutely untrue that they are com-
ing here to purchase an estate on
Long Island and f have no plan
to sell his Canadian ranch.”
Oklahoma's beat crop tn five years
moved to market.
The Enid terminal, largest In
the state, prepared for a second
record-smashing day after handling
787 carloads, approximately 1,-
’80.000 bushels, yesterday, for an
all-time mark.
Other wheat shipping center#
such as Frederick and Eldorado
In southeast Oklahoma reported
elevators were the busiest in years.
At Frederick 380 carloads, averag-
ing 1.500 bushels to the car. had
been billed for shipment. Eighty
three cars were shipped from Olus-
tee.
The largest wheat harvest In the
history of the Eldorado area con-
tinued with a total of 172 cars
ready for billing.
Clear, warm weather of the
past several days has speeded the
harvest over the entire state.
Southwestern Oklahoma virtually
was cleaned up as harvest hands
moved to the northern sector of
the state with the combines.
Exceeds Expectations
The crop was exceeding the
greatest expectations of agricultural
authorities. Enid gralnmen said
farmers in the northwest and
central sections reported the crop
was running 15 to 20 bushels to
the acre.
Wheat prices were up, too, as
reports of black rust in other states
pushed the market the full 6 cents
limit at Chicago and other major
trading centers.
The Enid terminal to date has
handled 1.921 carloads of wheat.
The Rock Island railroad was
running special trains on Its
branch from Chicka&ha to Man-
gum and Lawton, picking up wheat
at every station. Other railroads
lu Ihe western and central areas
were kept busy finding enough
freight cars to handle the crop,
estimated at 48,000.000 bushela,
nearly double last year's 27.000.000
production.
In scattered areas unusually good
production was reported. A three-
acre field belonging to Ted Ber-
gen. who lives three miles south
ol Weatherford, produced better
Ilian 45 bushels to the acre. The
average In the Weatherford ’Cus-
ter county) area will run 22 to
25 bushels to the acre, about
in bushels better than last year
and the best since 1931, farmers
reported.
