TIME was when dramatic critics
were employed on New York newspa-
Pers TO honestly inform their readers
of the current plays. But one by one
the Independent writer's were dropped
from the newspaper passes. Alan Dale
one OF the old guard, stuck longest of
all. But now he's been canned because
he would not approve some of the rot
offered for public consumption. All of
which will tend to increase the conf
dence OF the reader in the yellow pa
pers.

Washington.-As a result OF re-
quests from editors and editorial as
sociations in many states. the United
States department Of agriculture has
announced that the November crop re-
ports for each state win be supplied
to the new spapers in all states through
the central weather station, located in
each of the states.
This is an extension of the expert
ment Of telegraphing the state crop
returns to the central weather sta
tons in each Of nine states. and hav-
ing these kilograms duplicated at
once and mailed to the newspapers
and agricultural publications. Under
this plan newspapers In 80 additional
states will now receive full details of
the state crops far more quickly than
would be possible II these state crop
details we're put in the mails in Wash
ington and had to travel by train long
distances to the more remote states.
Under this plan, the general sum
mary Of the crops for the United
States WILL as heretofore, be issued
In Washington for Geographic dis
tribution. 1t has been found, however,
th2t the conditions of crops within
their particular states are of especial
value to the farmers and producers, to
whom the conditions In their own
state are important In the marketing
Of their produce.
Under this plan the department
sends one telegram to the central
weather bureau in each state, and
within a few minutes after the crop
figures for the state are completed In
Washington the weather bureau is en-
abled to mail copies of the figures
from a central point within the state
tn all papers in that state.
Uader the code system used, the de-
partment is under the necessity Of
telegraphing only a few figures, as
the figures of previous crops for com
parison are supplied to each weather
bureau station by mail. Che cost Of
the telegram for each state does not
exceed rs cents.
The Crop data thus circulated by
mail to the newspapers win give: (a)
a full list Of the crops; (b) the aver
age condition Of each crop for ten year
periods In that particular state; (c)
the condition of the state crop for No
Vember g. In the adjoining column
will be given the same data for the
United States, so that the farmers who
read these notices can compare the
crops in their state as of November
9, with the ten year averages of theil
own state, and in the same way viii
the average condition throughout the
United States on November 8. and fol
! ten years.
These state crop reports are not
supplied to individuals; and are mali
ed only to editors of regular publica.
tions. The November state crop re-
ports for the 80 states newly added
to the list will be sent only to the
daily papers, the county-seat papers,
and agricultural publications. Mean
while, the department is preparing
lists of small town weeklies, and in
December the crop reports will be
sent also to the smaller papers.

The regulations provide for foreign

addition, meats in countries will be in
spected by the department Of agricul-

But when they'd quit the christnin biz they called him Hans. An Hans he is, a reglar German guy.

But when he lit with Dooin's crew the Dutchman set right out to do what other castoffs did. He third based like a reg'lar fiend an when last seasons dope was gleaned Hans name was on the lid

By SCOOP"

Chalmers B Wood, instead of be- ing the precursor of trouble as in the case of his first appearance be- fore the motorcycle club, was an in stigator of progress, for in a short session last night. the club took up the program for the state fair track |. races and put it across with q whoOp. The program, being outlined before Chalmers B. Woods very eyes, with all the side discussions open to his own suggestions, pleased the fair commission secretary enough so he told the club the commission would probably put its O. k. on the docu ment.
 It was the belief of the riders that the public would break attendance records to see the big names in the Ghugbike racing world chalked up opposite the score blanks. So it was ordained that by every inducement possible to a committee with only $500 or possibly $500 in cash the re gular guys in the two wheeler sport should be drawn to Arizona's fair. This was the reason the mile time
  is the reason that the Coast to Phoe- nix race committee promised to do all in it's power to find the extra S10O to reward the rider who clips any part of a second from the track record of B.. Oldfield.
 On the matter of a race for just the entrants in the two road races, the club was divided, but on vote. it was shown that the Arizona Championship" would probably prove more popular A great deal of pub licity will be given to this event, as it will probably be won by one of Phoenix's big four:
