BUMPER CROP
Of WINTER WHEAT
BREAKS RECORDS
Estimated Yield of 551, 100000
Bushels Is lis per Cent.
Ahead of Average
Acreage Bigger.

Washington, April "A record-hreak-
ing winter wheat crop is in prospect this
YEAR the department of agriculture esu-
mating on Il conservative basis that the
Weld may exceed SOL, coo 90 bushels. The
condition Of the crop April 1 was 96.6 per
cent. Of a normal or 1l.5 per cent better
than the average April condition fol
the past ten years.
The area planted last autumn was 81
5C6. 900 acres and with q comparatively
good winter it Is believed the percentage
of acreage abandoned has been hat
less than 90 per cent, the average aban-
doned during the past ten years, go that
an unusually big acreage will be harvest
ed if conditions continue favorable through
the season,
In a statement to-day concerning the
crop, the department said:
'The condition Of winter wheat on Apr
/, viz: 95.6 per cent. of normal, is l1.5 pen
cent. higher than the average of the past
10 years. The yield per acre in the sal md
10 years averaged IS bushels; an increasd
of 11.5 per cent. to this average would BID
16.7 bushels.
The acreage planted last fall was estii
mated at 36,5O6,Oo acres; 1861 bushels ap1
piled to this acreage gives 609,65o,0oo. But
there is always some of the planted AIRED
abandoned before harvest; the average Of
such abandonment in the past 10 years hal
been about 90 per cent Of the area plant
ed If this average of abandonment bI
deducted from the estimated planted area
and 16.7 be applied TO the remaining
amount a production OF about 55l,c0,WI
would be indicated.
The wheat plant wintered UNUSUAL
well and 1t is not to be expected that tn |
10 year average Of abandonment has oc
Cured this year. On the other hand
crop that is in very high condition o |
April !, as is the case this year. is nor
susceptible to depreciation later in til
season than a crop having a lower cond
ticn on April /.
The final estimate of production
winter wheat in 1913 was 523,56l,oo bust
els (the largest ever recorded) and in 10
IL was 800 91q 900 bushels"

New York, April 7--"Governor Glynn

prleve to the gunner. He said he had
congratulated the Governor on his
decision
These four men," he added, were con-
victed in a fair trial, beyond even a rev.
sonahle doubt.
"The public, very likely, has no con-
ccption of the pressure that has been
brought to bear against Governor Glynn,
and he is to he highly commended for the
strength he showed"
Charles G. T. Wahle, attorney for the
gunner, appeared surprised at the de-
cision of the Governor. He was notified
at his home in Brooklyn, and Immediately
went to his office, whore he was in con-
sutation till late at night.
az have as yet not seen the statement
Of Governor Glynn," he said "In view
of that fact do not see how I can
consistently discuss it"
with reference to what he might fur
ther undertake in behalf of his clients,
Mr. Wahe said:
There are one or two things that can
be done, but that is a matter that we
have not decided upon"
court could not be appealed to, he
said. He intimatcd that the Governor
might again be asked to interfere, but on

Ottawa, Ont, April 6.-An increase of
import duty on a number of iron and steel
schedules was announced by Finance
Minister White in his annual budget
speech made before tho Canadian House
Of Commons to-day The change affects
all three tariff classitiCations, the ''prefer-
entail which is charged on imports from
Great Britain and most OF the British
colonies, the intermediate applied in the
case Of treaty countries, such as France,
Belgium and Austria, and the general
under which important duties against the
United states and Germany are levied.
Tho lowest rate is charged on the prefer
cntial and the highest on the general tar
ifs
Under the increase announced to-day
wire rods, which have heretofore been
imported free, are made subject to
duty of s225 per ton British preferential.
and $50 per ton IN the intermediate and
general schedules The duty on wire,
which is included in this schedule. will
be refunded in case 1t is used for fencing
purposes. Up to the present time, struc-
tural steel Weighing over 35 pounds per
yard has paid s. on the preferential. $2.75
on the intermediate, and 50 on the gem
eral schedules per ton. The increase pro-
v!des that up to 30 pounds per yard
structural steel shall pay SL25 preferen-
tial, SO intermediate and 81 general.
whenever the government is satisfied that
steel of this character can be made
satisfactorily in Canada.
Tubing of iron or steel up to four
inches diameter, on which in the
past twenty per cont has been paid
under British preferential, thirty per
cent. in the intermediate and 80 per
cent. in the general schedules. will
continue to be imported under this
tariff, as also viii all tubing up to ten
inches in diameter on which suhstan-
tial reductions were forinerly made.
Under the new arrangement re-
payment Of duty win be made TO the
Canadian manufacturer on imports of
iron in the form of ore, pig or steel

KennelUick Picks First
Strawberries for Season

Kennewick = The first ripe straw
berries of the season were sent in to
H. w. Desgranges, manager of the
Richland- Kennewick Fruit Growers
association, from Richland by Mrs. G.
C. Lawrence and Mrs. G.. E. Floyd
The Strawberries and other early
fruits in this district have been prac-
tically uninjured by frosts so far, and
the prospects for double the crop of
last year are good. Figures compiled
by the local fruit growers association
show that $4,000 crates of strawber-
ries were shipped from Kennewick last
year at an average price of $3.61 per
crate. From the large number of
young patches that bear for the first
time this spring, combined with the
other favorable conditions, the esti-
mated crop is $4,000 crates. Last year
growers were unable to secure pickers
enough. This year pickers will be Sc
cured from the outside by both the
association and the Kennewick Fruit
Exchange. About 400 will be needed.
