WHEAT HARVEST OF 900,000,000 BUSHELS HOPED

Large Crop in Middle West is Expected to Counter Balance Losses in Montana. ?4gW YORK. July 16. Although the mid-July estimates made by the government experts of the aggregate number of bushels of wheaWhlch will be ' harvested this year is disappointing, ' nevertheless reports which have come to New York since that estimate was published Justify the surmise that the next government report may be more encouraging. It may be that the farmers will not harvest a billion bush Is of wheat, but the chances are that, unless weather conditions in the Northwest are unfavorable, as many as 900.000,000 bushels will be harvested, and perhaps many more. The weather has not been entirely favorable in some parts of the country, whereas in other wheat bolts thn climate has been admirably suited," according to reports received here, for growth of a high quality of wheat and ' the garnering of more than an average number of bushel3 an acre. But the United States is so large, its northern wheat boundary reaching the Canadian line and its southern including parts of Texas, that it is almost inconceivable that perfect crop weather will prevail In every part of the country in any one season. John H. Rich, who is Chairman and Federal Reserve Agent of the Ninth Federal Reserve District with headquarters at Minneapolis, has sent to New York a somewhat detailed report of crop conditions' in the Northwest. Mr. Rich i3 in an especially favorable position for securing accurate statements from farmers of the Northwest, since as Federal Reserve Agent at Minneapolis he is brought in touch with the agricultural regions within the boundaries of that district. According to Mr. Rich it is dry weather especially In Montana and North Dakota which has played havoc with the grain crops. In June the reports from Montana led to the expectation that the state would maintain her position as one . Jf the leading wheat producing states, but heat and sun have played some havoc with Montana's wheat production, as also with that in parts of North Dakota. On the other hand the promise is excellent of a large wheat harvest in South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Therefore the belief prevails in the Northwest that the losses due to hot and dry weather in some sections will not be great enough to prevent the entire district from reaping as large a crop of wheat as it ever has grown.

French Children Beg Pennies From Americans Writes Local Boy

The following letter, written by Lewis E. Klnley, with the quartermaster's 'department, now In France, has been received by Mrs. Clyde Alexander, hl3 sister, who lives on the National road east of the city: "Yesterday waa a long hard day. We were up from 3 a. m. to 11 p. m. The camps, of course, are not In the city and are not very near, Just as our Americans are not, and we had another Tew miles walk. The quartermaster's corps showed their old time 'pep' and were still going strong when others fell out to rest. Of course we don't have as heavy a load as the other organizations. s "The French people are very interesting and they were out to see us along the streets, all sizes from babies up to old men and women. They have wonderful courage to smile and greet the Yanks as they do. The kids are continually begging for pennies and cigarettes for mama and papa. They are sweet little beggars with' dark hair and rosy cheeks. Not much chance of bringing you one for I don't think I can ever explain to them what I mean in French. "Pufl Funny Things." "I wish you could see the odd-looking peasants and their old-fashioned way of working. Pick up a magazine about ten years old and look at the

"The freight cars are the queerest and the cute little engines. I suppose they know how to railroad as well as we do In America,, and it is only their way that is different than ours. "A good many people wear wooden shoes and seem to walk pretty well in them. The old men cut hay with a scythe, while the women and children sell fruit, nuts and vegetables to the soldiers. ' I bought four onions for

breakfast, 10 cents, and they want 10 cents each for the oranges. The peasants will wash our clothes for a couple of francs" or cheaper, and they wash in pools outdoors and put them on the ground to dry. "The country around here is surely pretty. Land is rolling and cut up into small fields by hedges made out of dirt with some queer kind of cedar and flowers growing on them. "I was on detail with another fellow this afternoon to carry blankets about mess time and will finish while I can before dark. That will be several hours for twilight lasts until nearly midnight and it is light at 3 p. m. They don't have any daylight saving plan over here."
