Occupation of Vera Cruz
Cost Score of Lives and
Ten Million Dollars

Washington. Nov. 23.-American
troops which have held Vera Cruz
since last April were evacuating the
city and sailing for home to-day and
while General Funstons latest reports
10 the War Department gave no de-
taos. officials here expect sunset will
seV the Mexican flag floating again
over the ancient fortress af san Juan
and the American troopers we'll on
their way homeward across the gulf.
Dispatches early to-day from Gen
eral Funston said his furthereSt out
post had been Withdrawn at o'clock:
AT 10 troops guarding the railroads at
the approaches to the city were with
drawn and at II the embarkment was
on in earnest. General Funston re-
ported he expected to sail for Calves
ton at noon. He reported couStitu-
tionalist troops under General Aguilar
were taking possession of the city.
Occupation Of the Mexican port. in
reprisal for Huerta's insult to the flag
at Tampico. has cost the United States
more than a score of lives. some in
battle and some from disease and ac-
cording to some estimates. as much as
ten million dollars. But Mexico will be
asked to pay no indemnity. Admins
tration officials want that fact to stand
ont as an added evidence of the disin-
terested friendship of the United States
fer her southern neighboTs.
General Funstoi has instructions to
turn the city over to none of the
Mexican factions and thereby avoid
what might be construed as a recogni-
ton of one of them. His orders simply
are TO bring his troops away and leave
the city 10 whichever faction takes
possession.

CROP REPORT WILL
Be Comprehensive

MORE WHEAT WAS PLANTED
Interesting Comment Upon What
the State Is Doing With Its
Staple Crops Now
MORE WHEAT WAS PLANTED

Plans to develop the States crop re-

as Pennsylvania is concerned the re-
port service of the United States gov
eminent are being made and it is eN-
will show much that have never been
published before.
The review OF reports made to No
Vember shows the following:
The farmers of the State seeded
1900 more acres for wheat this Fau
than during the sowing season of 1919.
and the acreage devoted to the cereal
would have been greater if weather
conditions had been more favorable
this Fall.
The acreage devoted to wheat this
FAN is estimated at l,S25.120 acres
against 1,S12.00O acres last year. The
average condition is given as "a per
cent. The wheat was Sown late this
I'ail because Of the drought which
prevented the ground being put into
good condition and because of the Hes
sian fly. The average date for sowing
wheat in the northern tier was Sep
Sember l6 and in the southern coun-
ties October >.
The estimate of rye sown is 271. 500
acres against 2S0.000 acres last year.
In some districts where ground could
not bt prepared LOT wheat II WAS put
in rye.
The corn is given as !. 1.46S, 600 acres
Ond the crop is reported by Chief ].
II. While as well matured and of
splendid quality The yield was up TO
the average. probably between IL and
~ bushels Of shelled corn TO the acre.
More complete data will be given next
month.
Dry weather caused the buckwheat
report to be only s. per cent. of ;he
average crop and a poor yield of
CloVerseed.
II is estimated that 26S.OO0 acres
were planted in potatoes with a total
of 2S40S. .00O bushels. The rot affected
less than per cent. of the crop and
the average production per acre runs
considerably above that of last year in
most counties, the average per acre
for the State being 100 bushels against
SIS last year.
The State has as per cent. of the
