The Total of Production
Helped Out by the I'm
mensely Greater Acreage
of Some Crops July a
whitening Month.

Washington, D. c., Aug 9-That a
tremendous decline in the condition
Of crops, general throughout the coun-
try, is indicated by reports and estima-
ties made today by the monthly crop
report Of the department of agriculture.
The report is the worst, as to the
general conditions that the department
has issued in any single month since
1907.
The area most seriously affected ex-
tends from Pennsylvania westward.
embracing all the great. corn. weat and
hay producing states to the Rocky
mountains.
In the southern states. with the ex-
ception Of Virginia and North Carolina.
ample rains served to maintain general
ly favorable conditions. Conditions in
the Pacific northwest are regarded as
excellent, although during July that
territory suffered in a brief and ex-
cessively hot period.
The figures of today's report indi-
cate a material slump in the prospects
of all crops. Corn, which at this sea-
son is most important. declined during
the month from condition of about
> per cent below the average 10 nearly
fifteen per cent below This does not
indicate however, that the crop will
not be large because the acreage of
corn this year is exceptionally heavy
The weather during July caused a fall
in the condition of corn which indi-
the estimated total production of the
previous month.
Spring weat fell from the condition
of month ago, 16 per cent below the
average. to approximately % per cent
below, indicating a loss of 35.2S6.000
bushels The indications are that the
total Weld of wheat per acre will be
the lowest since 1904 The oats crop
is very short. according to the figures
of tOday's report. The crop of hay
probably viii be the smallest in l.
years. The condition of potatoes in
dicates a loss of about 35.64S.O0O bush
els from last months estimated yield
While crops in many instances will
probably be short in yield per acre. yet
in the total production they will not
be small, as shown by following esti-
mates of yields of standard crops:
Corn 2620.221 900 bushels. winter
wheat 455,149,OOO bushels. spring wheat
?. .09f, f,646,00O bushels. oats St7.S0O,OOO
bushels. barley 139. $4,000 bushels. po-
tatoes 249,S9S.OOO bushels. tobacco 6OO.-
5SS,000 pounds. and hay 491290O0 tons.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT
OF POPE'S CONDITION
Physicians VigiIant Against New Com
2lications.

Rome, Aug. Pope Plus early to-
night enjoyed several hours of
rest in new room on the third floor
Of the vatican to which he moved to-
day from his small chamber on the
fourth floor. The room is more spac-
ious and airy and the change seems TO
have revived the pope's strength some
what and cheered his spirits.
When Doctors Petacci and Marchia-
fava visited the pope early in the ev-
ening his temperature was 1O1. but at
midnight after he had perspired pro-
fusely it fell below 100.
The pain in his knee is also dimin-
ished and the patient IS able to OBJ
tain some refreshing sleep. The ef-
forts of the physicians will now be
toward restoring fully the strength Of
the pope. fearing otherwise that there
may be fresh complications of the
throat and bronchial trouble.

liant headlight of the Flyer. He mis-
sed his aim and crashed through the

back into the aisle just as he was
applying the air breaks to bring the
car to stop.
The Del Rey car having the right of
way was already on the switch and
the cars crashed, both being derailcd

VETO is CERTAIN.
What Will Occur Aftervqard /,
Problematic.

Washington. Aug. 9.-The president
will veto the New Mexico Arizona
statehood resolution as passed by the
both in the house and senate de-
clared today however, that they could
marshal enough votes to pass the
measure over his veto.
The president indicated some time
ago that he would take this action
unless the Nelson amendment, is
adopted. This amendment required
To statehood. to vote down the pro-
vision of their constitution for the
recall Of the judges. The amendment
was defeated and the senate passed
the bill as it came from the house,
simply requiring a vote to be taken
on the recall feature
1t was believed last night follow
ing the passage of the bill, that Mr..
Taft would allow the measure to be-
come d law without his signature, by
permitting il to remain in his hands
ten days. News reached the capitol
today, however, that he was determ-
ined to exercise the power to veto
when the resolution reached him. 1t

his proposed veto message would hit

insisted on coupling the two terri
tories in any statehood proposition and
for this reason Mr.. Tafts veto will
cause New Mexico to be excluded
along with Arizona.
Just what congress will do in the
case of a veto at this time is not
known. In the past there has been
talk of steps to relieve President Taft
from passing on the constitutions of
the proposed new states. How this
is to be accomplished is problem
matical
Chairman Flood of the house COM
mittee on territories, author of the
resolution, declared today that there
would be plenty of votes in the house
10 pass it again over the presidents
veto. As to the senate, he could not
speak. He urged the democrats of
the house to get together as soon as
the veto message is announced. Mr.
Flood was surprised to learn that
the president would register his dis
approval of the resolution and he said
it had been drawn largely To meet Mr.
Tafts objection.
Senator CulbersOn is said To be
authority Tor statement thdt the
senate likewise will pass the bill over
the presidents veto if the question is
presented to that body 1t is also
said that the statehood question viii re-
suit in prolonging the session.
Senator Kenyon Of Iowa was the
only progressive republican who vot-
ed against the final passage of the
statehood bill admitting New Mexico
and Arizona. At first it appeared that
Senator Bristow. of Kansas had also
voted against admitting the terri
tories but this proved to be an error.
Senator Bristow voted for the bill.
