BUMPER WHEAT CROP SIGHTED

By Government Report in Reciting Conditions Over Country. Washington, May 3. —Prediction «of the department oif agriculture for a wheat crop this year even larger than the record-breaking crop of 1914, was repeated by the United States Chamber of Commerce, in a report based on statistics obtained from all sections of the country. The report stated that an acreage never before equaled had been planted, and a yield of 900,000,000 bushels was forecast. "‘The condition of the winter ■wheat is so high as to be without precedent or parallel,” the report said. "It is, in fact, a monotone of perfection. The plant came through the winter and the trying month of March unscathed and unhurt. In many sections of the West and southwest it was neces-

sary to pasture it to livestock to keep down Its rank growth. “Reports of damage are most remarkable by their entire absence. Mere rumors of Hessian fly and some stray predatory Insects, but that Is all. Unless some climatic catastrophe or some Egyptlan-like and unexpected plague or Insects intervene,’ the yield will probably be 900,000,000 bushels, or about 33% more than the great harvest of 1914.” The report stated that one Interesting sidelight of the situation was that about 25% of the yield would be south of the Mason and Dixon line. Southern states which never before grew winter wheat, this year have large acreages planted, it was said. Reports showed that the seeding of spring wheat had been delayed from 10 days to two weeks by excessive rain, and a decrease of acreage as compared with last year, was expected.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

We bought our bonds in times of stress, to help our Uncle Sam’l fight; war being done, we say, “We guess we’ll say to all our bonds ‘Good night!’ We need the coin for gasoline, for suits of clothes and shoes and lids, for playing on the slot machine, and buying fireworks for the kids.” Folks are so anxious to unload their precious bonds, they scarce can wait; they want to scorch along the road that takes them to the ipoorhouse gate. And so the price of bonds is down, to, figures low I've seen them skid, and gents are hawking them in town, and asking us to make a bid. The wise man buys in all he can, he'd rather have those bonds than wheat; the seller is an also ran who’ll never live in Easy street A little while and men will wish to buy the bonds to have and hold, and owners will remark, “Odsflsh! They’re worth more now than minted gold!” How foolish are the sons of men, how fatuous, so help me John! If they have fourteen bonds or ten, they.’re frantic till said bonds are gone. They care

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

not for the rainy day—the day they're living la serene, and so they throw their bonds away, that they may burn more gasoline. All heedlessly they whoop along, and put a mortgage on their coops, and sell their thrift stamps for a song, that they may gayly loop the loops.

ALL TO HE HOME BY (HIUHTMAN

(Continued from Page One)

French j>orts In the movement of troops after July 1. The transfer of all the debarkation business to Antwerp, Belgium, will have some effect on the troop movement, for it will not be possible to handle as many troop ships out of Antwerp In the course of a month as are now being handled out of the French ports. However, under this new circumstance, it Is asserted. It will not be a difficult matter to get everybody home by Christmas, provided all the men can be spared. Officers recently returned from France say the “two bottle necks'* through which practically the entire movement must pass, the embarkation camp at Brest and the debarkation station at Hoboken, are now operating at a remarkable speed. The system Is said to. be so precise that a unit or even an Individual officer or man who loses step with the system’s stride has a difficult time and probably never succeeds In catching up with the main flow. General Pershing will come home with the last unit of the army of occupation. He was the first over aifter the United States entered the war and he Intends to be the last back. His admirers are already talking about the reception that will Inevitably be accorded him when he lands In New York city, about next Christmas time, they hope.

EDDIE HEARNE WILL APPEAR IN LONG RACE

EDDIE HEARNE Eddie Hearne has been nominated by Cliff Durant to drive the second Chevrolet Special which took second place in the recent Santa Monica road race of 250 miles, in tho 500-mile Liberty Sweepstakes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 31. That Hearne can make the Chevrolet do tricks was shown in the first race in which he took the Chevrolet No. 2, and went through the race without a stop.

Talking of raids, the task of the suburban gardener Is likely to /provide a little supplementary excitement during the next few seasons, says the London Chronicle. While digging in his garden the other day a resident of Manor Park unearthed a loaded shell. During 1917 and the first few months, of last year am enormous quantity of ammunition was fired by the barrage guns in the London district. An uncertain proportion of this consisted of “duds,’’ which, when they did no material damage, were buried a few feet in the earth. It is a crop which will need careful harvesting.
