stated, will exceed a billion bushels,
the largest ever produced in one sea.
son by any nation and the corn crop
also may prove TO be the largest ever
grown. At the same time the gov
eminent forecast indicates record har-
vests OF oats, barley, rye, sweet pota.
toes, tobacco, rice and hay.
Corn still is king of crops with indi.
cations of $685. SO, 900 bushels. While
that is $4,000, 900 bushels below the
record OF 1912, the final production,
when the harvest is finished and all
statistics compiled may more than
make up the deficiency. The higher
prices this year assure the most valu-
able corn crop eve grown. At prices
to farmers prevailing October |, the
corn crop is worth So, 1885, 00, 900.
Wheat Crop Value $91 0,844,0 0
Wheat prospects increased as the
growing season progressed and the
governments early season forecasts
moved up month by month so that the
latest preliminary estimate of rro.luc.
ton was placed at 1902, 029, 900 bush
els. Wet weather at harvest time,
however, reduced the quality of win
ter wheat, SO that much of it will not
be available for milling purposes and
will have to be used for feed. At
prices prevailing October 1, the farm
value of the crop is $910.S44, 900, con
siderably more than ever was paid for
the wheat crop before.
Oats will exceed the record crop of
1912 by almost 100, 900, 900 bushels;
barley will exceed It's record by 49,

THE potato forecast has declined
to 36S. 10000 bushels, a reduction of
3S,000,000 bushels, or nearly 10 per
cent from September l forecast"
The crop is seriously affected by
blight and rot In the principal potato
sections east of the Mississippi river.
Greatest Barley Crop.
"The barley crop, like the other
small grain crops and wheat and oats,
has overrun early forecasts of produc.
ton and exceeds that of any previous
barley crop, the estimate being 237,-

Visits Wilson's Daughter.

1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew Mrs.
Gait into the White House circle.
They met her first in the early autumn
OF last year and were so much at.
tracted by her that they sought her
out more and more frequently and the
friendship between them rapidly ripen-
ed into an affectionate intimacy.
Mrs. Gait spent a month this sum-
mer at Cornish as the house guest of
the Presidents eldest daughter. 1t
was through this intimacy of his
daughter and cousin that the President
had an opportunity to meet and know
Mrs. Gait.
One of the most interesting facts
about the engagement, indeed, as told
by friends, is that the Presidents
daughters should have chosen Mrs.
Gait for their admiration and friend
ship before their father did.
Friends of the president expressed
their pleasure over the announcement
only because of Mr.. Wilson's per-
sonal happiness, but because they felt
this new companionship would give
him support and comfort in his home
life-a vital need during the hours OF
strain over the nations problems.

Do Not Oppose Allies.
The Bulgarians, so far as is known,

Greece and Roumania remain inter-

the entente have furnished the Greek
government with information concern

and Germany which, it is asserted.
gives Bulgaria a free hand to deal not
only with Serbia, but with Greece as
well, should the central powers win.
Little Change in West.
The fighting on the various fronts
brought about little or no charge in
the situation. The Germans, after
two days heavy fighting in which, ac-
cording to the British and French ac-
counts, they suffered a severe reverse,
have abandoned for the moment the
attempt to %recapture territory won
from them by the British south of La
Bassee.
They do claim, however, to have re-
taken from the French some trenches
east Of Souchez and at Tahure, in
Champagne.

Washington, Oct. IL. - Official adj
vices have been received here that the
governments of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile are in accord with the decision
of the United States to grant ~recogni-
ton to the party led by General Car
as the de facto government in
Mexico.
It become known that some OF the
South American governments long be-
fore the conference had authorized
their diplomatic representatives to fav-
or the recognition of General Carranza
in the Pan-American deliberations.
The form In which recognition Is to
be accorded has not been decided, but
1t may be done by formal notification
to Eliseo Arrendondo, authorized rep
r%esentative here Of the Carranza gov
eminent. Extension of recognition is
expected within a week. This will re-
suit in the immediate order of an en-
barge on arms against factions op-
posed to the Carranza government, a
step which will materially weaken the
OF the Villa element, which
intends to continue the fight in Mex
leo.

Miguel Diaz Lombardo gave out a
statement in behalf of the Villa fac
ton declaring that while it was a
urce of satisfaction that the United
States had shown its sympathy with
the Mexican constitutionalist revolu-
ton against Huerta by recognizing a
revolutionary faction, nevertheless 1t
was intended to demonstrate by fur
Their military operations that the Car
rama, party's supremacy was temper
ary.

sular agent, telegraphed the state de-
partment the substance of a long in
terview he had with General Villa at
Juarez. No mention was made of with
drawing protection to foreigners, as re-
ported In press dispatches, but officials
realize that the legal responsibility for
protection of foreigners rests always
with the recognized government for all
parts Of the country, whether In re-
bellion or not.
1t became known that C~arranza has
given explicit assurances with refer
ence to the protection of foreigners,
claims amnesty for political offenses
and the treatment Of the clergy.
