CROPS IN ARGENTINA.

Corn Falls Off, but Wheat Is Expected
to Beat the Record.
The Argentine government report OF
July 2s estimated the area sown with
wheat for the 1914-15 crop at about
15.30O000 acres. falling Off OF nearly
100000 acres as compared with last
year. While the acreage has decreased,
according TO Consul William Dawson,
Jr., the report considers that. in view
OF very favorable weather conditions.
the wheat crop should exceed the rec
ord crop Of 1o07-0s, which was $3.50
coo metric tons from an area about
100000 acres less than this years.
Linseed. oats, rye, etc. are said to be
equally promising.
As regards the present corn crop.
which was originally estimated at
s000000 metric tons and has been the
subject of much speculation with vary
ing weather conditions, the report now
estimates the crop at 5.196000 metric
tons. Of which nearly 2,0o0.oo0 tons
had been exported up 10 July % This
is substantially confirmed by local grain
circles, which estimate that about one
third of the available maize has been
exported.

BOTH FOR PROHIBITION

Vermonters are greatly interested
in the Shepard Ilobson joint resolu-
ton now pending in Congress for an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale OF Intoxicating liqu-
ors. The proposed amendment is as
follows:
Section /. The sale, manufacture
for sale. transportation for sale. i'm
portation for sale of intoxicating liqu-
o.s for beverage purposes in the Unit
ed States and all territory subject TO
the Jurisdiction thereof, and the eX.
portation for sale therefrom. are for
evs- prohibited.
Unless passed by the necessary
twothirds majority of both houses at
the coming winter session, this res
olution will undoubtedly be introduc-
cd again in the next Congress to
which this state will next month elect
a senator and two Representatives.
So the attitude OF the several candid
ates for these Offices iowa I'd the am
endment becomes a matter of import
ance. and the Vermont AnuSaloon
League has asked each of them
whether if elected his cooperation
may be looked for in securing favor
