The Yield Per Acre.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The October es-
Inmates of the yield per acre. for the entire
breadth Of cereal crops, as computed by the
department of agriculture, are: Winter
wheat, 1913 bushels per acre; spring wheat,
11.5; wheat crop, Ill; oats, 1913; barley,
81; rye, lis. The condition of corn is 100
instead of 1910 last month. Buckwheat,
90.7 instead of 9O5; potatoes, 61.7 instead
OF 65.7; tobacco, S5.4 instead of S2.4. There
is practically no change in the general con-
dition except a reduction Of four points in
potatoes and an increase of two points in
tobacco.
The effect of winter frosts upon wheat is
shown by the lower rate of yield to have
been severe. Some of the higher rates for
the principal states are: New York, 1872
Pennsylvania, IL; Ohio, 12.5; Michigan
15.2; Illinois, 11.5; Missouri, liz: Kansas,
1875; California, II; Oregon, Is. Crops
made very low yield throughout the
south where the acreage is small. In the
Ohio valley the variation in the yield in
different counties, as on farms in the same
county, has some extraordinary range,
from five to twenty-five bushels, and in ex-
IRENE cases from one to thirty bushels.
One county in Illinois claims the ''best
crops in years. and another poorer crops
than expected
The Rocky Mountain area made averages
in spring wheat on limited area. Dakota
yields varying from a bushel or two to
twenty-five bushels, made an average of
bushels per acre. Minnesota returns, Il
and Wisconsin, 1915 bushels. The esti-
mated yield of oats of 1913 bushels, which
is the lowest ever reported, will probably
reduce the aggregate product more than
two hundred million bushels.

London Press Comments.

LONDON, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch to the Ne,Us
from Tipperary says: ''Though Swallowed
as never Swallowed before, they joined a
liner by the aid Of a friendly craft and are
now well on their way to New York 1t is
impossible to convey any idea of the frenzy
Of delight here"
The Nelcs, in an editorial, compares the
escape of Dillon and O'Brien to the mar
vellous escapes of Mazzini, and says they
will be received in America as Kossuth and
other patriots escaping from continental
expressions have been received here. The
Nelrs adds: ''If the Golfers of the league are
as empty as It's enemies boast. Balfour's
laundering will soon replenish them.''
The Chronicle says: 1.-THE inference is
that the government for some reason did
not desire to keep them in the country,
otherwise they could not have escaped the
vigilance of the police The stage is now
left to obscure performers and Balfour
may ring down the CURTAIN
O'Connor's paper, the Star, says: Dill
Ion and O'Brien went to Waterford
and from there to Havre on Wednesday
and proceeded from the latter port to New
| York.

Escapes-The Chronicle Says BaIfour May

DUBLIN, Oct. 10-The case against
O'Brien and Dillon charged with melting
tenants not to pay rents was again called
this morning. Neither of the defendants
was present. Both are members Of the
committee appointed at the committee
meeting of Irish Nationalist in Dublin to
visit America for the purpose of soliciting
aid for the Nationalist cause The rumor
was current that they mad forfeited their
bail, 81 ,OOU, each in the conspiracy case.
They sailed yesterday from Queenstown
for the United States
Much excitement prevailed in Tipperary
when it become known that O'Brien and
Dillon had abandoned their defense and
left the place. Confirmation of the rumOr
that they have left the country is received.
The information thus far received shows
| they did not leave by the ordinary channels
OF passage. Their bail will be escheated
| and paid by the National league.
AT the request of counsel for the crown
the court certificate of non-appearance was
attached to the bail bonds of Dillon and
| O'Brien. An adjournment was then taken
to enable the crown to consider what steps
should be taken. Warrants have been is
sued for the arrest of the missing Nation

! The steamship companies know nothing
of the fugitives and nothing is known at
Queenstown or MOyille of their where
abouts. A correspondent of O'Brien's
paper, the FreemeR's Journal sailed from
Queenstown yesterday on the City of Ber-
lin and it is thought Dillon and O'Brien
may be, aboard the same vessel. Detec-
tives have boarded all out going steamers
and searched in vain for the men. They
are convinced they are already on their
way to America 1t is possible they sailed
on some yacht and boarded the steamer
outside of Queenstown.
