GROW FOR
MAMMOTH WHEAT CROP
Has Most Favorable Week of the
Season and Outlook Is
Promising.

Prospects for the billion -bushel
wheat crop continued to grow during
the week ended yesterday. Spring
wheat had the most favorable week
of the season over much of the belt and
the outlook everywhere is most promis-
ing. The National Weather and Crop
Bulletin announced today that winter
wheat. however. had unfavorable
weather and harvesting had been de-
layed in the important producing sec
tions by rain, much ripe wheat being
still uncut.
In southern portions of the belt and
Pacific coast states harvesting is
progressing satisfa ctorily and good
yields are reported.
Corn Is Also Favored.
Corn was favored with somewhat bet
ter conditions than during preceding
weeks. but is being retarded in the
more northern portions of the belt.
Elsewhere. however. it has made
rapid growth and is reported tasseling
as far north as central Kansas, with
prospects Of an excellent crop largely
assured further south.
Rain is delaying harvesting of oats in
some sections and promoting too heavy
growth and rust in others. but on the
whole the crop outlook continues ex-
cellent. Tobacco generally made sat
isfactory growth.

EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.

By command of King George Of
England no wines or spirits will be
allowed TO be consumed in any of his
majesty's houses.
The question OF drink and its effect
on the work necessary for the prose-
cution Of war overshadows everything
else in public interest.
The press and the public favor some
drastic measures, majority Of the
newspapers expressing the belief that
total prohibition, which would appeal
to all classes, is necessary.
King Georges example and appeal
is said to have had most remark
able effect at Glasgow. The shipyards
OF that city comprise probably the
hardest drinking community in Great
Britain, but after word was received
OF the kings action by concerted
agreement the laborers are reported
to have Stunned the bar-rooms.
Government leaders have stated
that they are considering the question
not from a moral. but from an eco
nomic standpoint. They believe the
country will gain financially by any
movement sHppressing the sale of
liquor A manufacturer, who Is a
student of the drink problem, says;
If the public saw the time-sheets OF
industrial concerns engaged in man
ufacturing munitions Of war, showing
the contrast between the work done
by teetotalers and drinkers, 1t would
be appalled,. The days lost by drink

average TO three full days a week.

pIspLAcE DRINK WITH TEA.

The rapid increase in dry territory
in the United States has resulted in a
shortage of tea, according to George
F, Mitchell, supervising tea inspector
OF the treasury department. The price
of tea is advancing steadily. Russia,
the greatest tea-drinking nation In
the world, is expected to consume even
more tea as a result of the czar's or
der abolishing the sale of intoxicating
liquors, particularly vodka, in that
empire. Russian soldiers in the
