A SUMMARY of general crop condi,
tions throughout the country indicates
wheat crop 120,000,O00 bushels
larger than similar estimates made
last year. There were 8,500,0C0
more acres in wheat this year than
last and conditions are better, while
a yield of corn at least 60,0O0,000
bushels larger is indicated. Uncer-
tainty as to final outturn of the wheat
crop, using the government figures
as basis, is, of course, not unex-
pected in view of the fact that the
actual yield last year is thought to
have been 60,000,000 bushels in ex-
cess of the governments final esti-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The ap-
preaching retirement from active

conjecture in army circles as to the
men who will be invited to take the

Graham retires week from next
Wednesday, and Gen. Coppinger goes
out of the amy October 1lth.
Whether the President will appoint
officers next in seniority or will re-
ward others who have distinguished
themselves in the war, is not known.

do as he pleases in the matter, and
