Washington, March 26.-Commer-

Pan-American union announced after
an analysis of reports from domestic

some of the countries were not i'm

Expert Says 1t Will Be
Record Breaker.
ACREAGE IS MUCH LARGER
Greater Area viii Be Planted to
Grain This Year by American
Farmers and Total Production May
Exceed One Billion Bushels.

Chicago, March 26.-Every present
indication points to all wheat crop
records in the history of the country
being broken for 1915
However, according to b. W. Snow,
statistical expert, ii would be mere
guesswork now to attempt TO esti-
mate the 1915 grain crop in bushels.
There is possibility he said. for
a crop of 900. 900 bushels, but be
cause no one can tell what the
weather actually will be until the
crop is cut it would not be surprising
il the yield ran as low as 500. 900 600
bushels.
with conditions similar to last
year said Snow, the 1915 crop
should break all records. Last year
$1,000, 900 acres of land yielded $780,
100000 bushels This year the acre
age is between Al 900. .000 and s2,000.-
600
so far weather conditions have
been exceedingly favorable for bum
per crops. This weather encourage
ment has been particularly apparent
in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri
usually dry states. So far there has
been every bit as much encourage
ment in the United States this year
as i'm 1914"

MANNED BY GERMAN TROOPS
Inland Batteries Guarding Straits oi
the Dardanelies.

Berlin, March 26.-The general de.
preston due to the fall of Przemysl
has been largely Offset by news that
the success of the attack of the al.
lies upon the Dardanelles is impossi.
BILE on the present basis of operations
This is said to be due to the fact
that the destruction of the old shore
batteries does not solve the real prob
lem, which has to do with the destruc
tion of the concealed inland batteries
which have been erected, armed and
manned by German defenders. These
batteries have been SO skillfully
masked that allied aviators have been
unable to discover them.
The general public was not inform
ed of this source of strength until
now, consequently the revelation Of
this aid to the Turks has caused ire
mendous enthusiasm among all
classes in Berlin.

The fortress of Ossowetz, where
the German bombardment continues

says a message from Petrograd. Both
to the north and south of this point

Open Season for
Shooting Game

With the approach of the open
season for shooting wild fowl. the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is warning spoctsmen that
the federal regulations as amended
October /. 1914, will be strictly
enforced. Some misunderstood
ing has arisen from the fact that
the various state laws do not al
ways conform to the federal regu-
lations. This is regarded as I'M
fortunate but in such cases the
department must insist upon the
observance of the federal regula-
tons.
The department will consider
any recommendations submitted
in good faith for amendment of
the regulations, but will hold no
public hearings thereon, nor will
1t amend the regulations prior to
October Is, 1918. 1t is the pur-
pose of the department to conform
the regulations to the wishes of
the majority of sportsmen so far
as 1t can be done and at the same
time give wild fowl the necessary
protection.
Federal regulations divide the
United States into two zones. Zone
No. /, the breeding zone, includes
the States of Oregon, Idaho, Co.
larado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
New Jersey, and all states north
of them. Zone No. 2. the winter
ing zone, includes all states south
of those named.

Harding's Views
and Cotton States
Bankers inAccord
Delegates from Recent Gal
weston Conference Confer
With Federal Official.

birmingham. Ala. Aug. 26.-The
delegates appointed at the recent Gal
weston conference of cotton states bank
ers conferred at length here today with
W. p. c. Harding, of the Federal Re-
serve Board, on the cotton situation. 1t
was found that Mr.. IIarding's views
we're thoroughly in accord with the
resolutions adopted at Galveston. A state
ment was issued by the bankers tonight
which concluded a. follows:
The delegation appointed at the re-
cent conference of cotton states bankers
held at Galveston August II, said dele
gates being composed of a representative
from each of the Southern States Bank
ers' Associations. and appointed for the
purpose of comforting with Hon. W. p.
G. Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board. made the following report:
That we have this, the 10Th day of
August, 1918, held such a conference
with Mr. Harding at Birmingham, Ala,
and after full consideration and dis
cussion of the matter of cooperation
between Southern bankers and cotton
producers, the resolutions adopted at the
Galveston conference are heartily ratified
and approved.
1T is a matter of much qualification
to the delegation to find that these
resolutions are not only in accord with
the views of Mr.. Harding, member of
the Federal Reserve Board and a recog-
niaed authority upon the production and
marketing of cotton, but that they have
met with such general approval through
ont the country. The Federal Reserve
Board and those entrusted with the
management of the federal reserve banks
are working in harmony with the prin-
ciples contained in the plan for the
gradual marketing of cotton, and We
earnestly bespeak therefor their further
cooperation and encouragement.
1T is the further sense of the dele
CATION that it is right and proper for
Southern bankers to accord special con-
sideration to loans made to farmers
based on insured. warehoused cotton
and other staple products. and to offer
OH such loans the lowest interest rates
consistent with sound business policy.
II is not, however, deemed wise or nee
essary for any arbitrary maximum in
terest rate to be named, it being the
sense of this delegation that better re-
suits to all concerned will be reached
by entrusting this detail to the patriot
ism and sound business Judgment of
individual bankers throughout the south,
local conditions being given due con-
sideration."
