WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The October esti-
mates of the yield per acre of cereal crops,
as computed by the Department of Agri-
culture are: Winter wheat 1913 bushels per
acre, spring wheat lis. wheat crop III,

are 61.7, instead of 65.7; tobacco is S5.4, in
stead OF 50 A. There is practically no change
in the general condition, except the re-
duction OF four points in potatoes and the
increase of two points in tobacco. The
effect of winter froStS upon wheat is shown
by tile lower rate of the yield to nave been
severe. Some of the higher rates in the
principal States are: New York 15.2,
Pennsylvania u, Ohio 125. Michigan 15.2,
Illinois ll.5, Missouri 11.2, Kansas 1875. Cali

yield throughout the South, where the acre
age is small. In the Ohio valley the varia-
tion in the yield in different counties, as on
farms in the same county. has au eXtraor-
binary range, from 5 TO % bushels, and in
extreme cases from l to 80 bushels. One
county III Illinois claims "the best crops in
years" and another. "a rOorer crop than eX-
pected." Rocky Mountain areas made
averages in spring wheat on limited areas.
TIE Dakota yields vary from bushel or
two to twenty-five bushels, an average of
nine bushels per acre. Minnesota returns

mated tha yield Of oats will be 1873 bushels,

Land Dec sion.

ct al. petition the Secretary OF the Interior
to rescind the order suspendIng certain
entries in the Humboldt Land District,
California, the same having been issued
four years ago, because of the discovery
that the subdivisional survey of the
township in which the petitioners
made their entries was discovered to be
fraudulent. The Commissioner of the Gen.
eral Land Office previously refused to re-
scnd the order. The Secretary decifed
to-day, however, that until resurvey is
made of this township, the order suspending
all entries of land therein should
not be rescinded, and there is no sufficient
reason, as shown by the petition, why the
action of the Commissioner should be
disturbed, but he thinks resurvey
should be made as soon as possible,
in order that these entries may be investi-
gated and disposed Of. He therefore directs
that such reSurvey be made, and after that
the entries may be released from further
suspension.
