IN ACREAGE
OF WHEAT
Estimated that Next Seasons Crop
Will Be Double This Year
New Corn is Coming on
the Market

According to reports that come from
the farmers, the wheat acreage Of
Grady county for the crop OF 1915 will
be more than double that of 1914, ow-
ing to different causes. With more
than an average crop harvested and
with what wheat growers consider
good prospects for this time of year,
many are going into this form of agri-
culture for all they are worth.
A great deal of the fall plowing for
wheat was done in August, immediate
ly after the soaking rains that visited
the county during that month. Others
are just at this time completing prep
aration of their ground and intend
sowing the crop within the next few
weeks. 1t is stated by those who have
already prepared their ground that its
conditions are ideal for this time of
year.
In a great many instances during
the summer, fields of wheat in the
county became overripe before it was
cut The result was that in the pro
cess of cutting, great quantities of the
grain were shattered from the head.
From this premature sowing, in sew
eral fields have sprung volunteer
wheat that is now enjoying luxuriant
growth. On some OF the farms, these
fields have been plowed and the vol
unteer" wheat destroyed. In other
instances such a good stand was in
evidence that the grower decided tc
let it stand and pasture it heavily
trusting to that method to keep iss
growth sufficiently in check pending
the arrival of the cold weather.
The early sowing, together with th'
volunteer wheat, will, 1t is estimat
! ed, furnish valuable pasture for cat

General View Of situation.

(By j. w. r. Mason, former European
manager United Press.)
New York. Sept. 1.-THE Germans
are being forced more and more into
a defensive position. They are not yet
as completely on the defensive as the
allies were during the retirement from
Belgium. but their right and left wings
are approaching that condition.
The reported abandonment of Lune-
Vile by the Germans and the cessation
of their stack on Nancy indicate The
French are showing back the invaders
left wing. while at the other extreme
OF the battle line the English are doing
the saine TO the German right.
The German center is holding its
own, but is unable to advance. The
center pivots on vitry-Le Francois,
eighty miles east OF Paris. where the
continuation of the heights OF the La
! Fere-Laon Rheims fortified line termi-
mates. vitry-Le Francois is forty-five
miles southeast of the deserted French
intrenched camp at Rheims. 1t is prob
able the allies are trying to force back
the German right wing to Rheims in
the hope that the kaiser's forces will
fall into second Maubeuge trap.
1t would be bitter irony for the Ger
mans Ii any considerable part of their
army we're compelled to find tempo
/ rary refuge in one of the deserted
French fortified centers and there
forced to surrender. This possibly is
not remote, for the present natural di-
rection OF retreat of the German right
is toward the Rheims-vitry-Le Fran
cois line OF hills. Any other route
would be toward isolation. If the allies
succeed in folding up the German right
along this line, the necessity for
quick retreat toward Luxembourg will
| be as pressing for the Germans as the
retreat toward the Paris basin wa!
necessary for the allies. In this case
the Germans will require as master
full defensive general as Joffre ha'
proved himself to be.
i The disaster to the Austrian forces
lin Galicia is growing daily. II Is al
most certain that Germany canno
count on the help of effective Austrian
resistance to prolong her own cam
paign.
The Austrian army has crumpled a

Washington, D. c., Aug, 3.-All re-
strictions on the amount of currency
which may be issued under section
| five of the bank law was removed to-
J day by the house in an amendment
passed 231 to and hurried over to
the senate.
Restrictions which limit the issue
! of currency under the Aldrich-Vree-
land law to $5O0,0OO,O0O, would be re-
moved by an amendment to the bank
| ing act agreed upon today by the SEN
ate and house banking committees.
! An as amendment to a bill passed
| the house Saturday removing other
restrictions of the law in the present
crisis both houses of congress today
are expected to leave the amount of
the issue of such currency in the dis
cretion of the secretary of the treas
ury.
The amendment also would extend
the issue of the currency to state
, banks and trust companies which
have joined the new federal reserve
, system, or agreed to do so.
The first proposal was to increase
the authorized issue under the law
to $1,5OO,OOO,OOO. 1t was decided, how
ever, to leave the amount to the treas
ury department as it will in the end
| be regulated by the amount of secur-
tiles the banks have available to
pledge for its issue.
The bankers expressed the opinion
that the action taken would relieve
any situation which might arise.
When the amendment was brought
in Progressive Leader Murdock re-
fused unanimous consent for its con-
sideration and forced the house to
take it up under a suspension of rules
with forty minutes debate.
