Department Of Agriculture Sends
Out Estimates.
THE AREA IN WHEAT IS VERY LARGE
OF A LARGER YIELD
THAN LAST YEAR is PROM
lSlNG.

Figures from the bureau of statistics
of the department of agriculture, COM
piled from the correspondents and
agents of the bureau, show the area
under winter wheat remaining in Guilt
walton on May 1 to have been about
20, $4,000 acres.
This is per cent, or about 1,71S,OOO
acres less than the area reported as
sown last fall, and 1 per cent. or about
241,OOO acres, less than the area of
winter wheat reported as harvested
last year.
Nearly one-htird of the loss this
year, or about $4,000 acres, was in
Kansas. In California the loss was
10 per cent, or 10000 acres. Michi-
gan lost Z per cent, or $4,000 acres.
The largest percentage of loss in area
was rs in Washington, 10 in Oregon.
II in Wisconsin and in Idaho.
But the combined loss in the three
Pacific states, where the acreage in
winter wheat is 2,272,OO0, was only
$4,000 acres, representing a loss of
5.O9S, 900 bushels from last month, and
they have a promise of 39,49S,OOO
bushels against 3S,954,000 bushels
harvested last year.
There is a loss in Kansas of 7,OOO,-
900 bushels from the April report, al
though the condition advanced two
points last month; Michigan is off g.
100000 bushels and lost four points.
These decreases are due to reduction
in acreage.
The thirteen winter wheat states
have a crop of 37S,699,OOO bushels, or
22,S2S,OOO bushels less than a month
ago. and show a decrease in acreage
of 1910 Ohio, Indiana, Missouri
and Oklahoma made gains of one to
three points in April. The inlicated
crop for the country is 2S,G0O,OOO
bushels more than was harvested last
year.

LONDON, May 23-Among the
many types of criminals, perhaps one
of the strangest and most interesting
is Frank Russell, better known as
Truthful Frank" who has just been
sentenced at Clerkenwell sessions to
two years penal servitude as a rail-
way thief. The name Truthful Frank
was given to Russell by the police
themselves because through his long
career of crime, when once fairly
caught, he has always, as sort of
religion, strictly confined his state
ments to the truth. Time after time
the police have tested in every detail

had represented them to possess, he
disappeared from the city and was

year later, when he was first convicted
of horse stealing. Since then he has
continued his career of crime, combining
himself especially to horse stealing ana
railway thefts.
