washington, Aug. lO.-lnfee OIL
lion bushels of corn, one and half
billion bushels Of oats, and billion
bushels of wheat are in prospect for
this years American harvest. Rec
ord crops of rye, white and sweet po
tatoes, tobacco, rice, and hay also are
predicted for the prosperous farmers
who have planted 31O,546,00O acres,
or 100000 acres more than last
year, to their principal products. The
wheat crop, the greatest ever grown
in any country, will be worth more
than 81 OO,O0O,OOO, while the corn
crops value may reach $4,000, ,000, 900.
Estimates of the principal crops,
announced by the department Of agri-
culture, based on conditions of Aug.
/, show that all crops will be greater
than last year. Interest centered on
wheat and corn. Both showed i'm
provement over July conditions,
though excessive rains and cold wealth
er in the central states interfered
with threshing. Oats also suffered in
those states, but in other sections the
improvement more than offset this.
Corn prospects increased almost
100, O,OOO, 900 bushels the principal
gains having been, Illinois 10000, 900
bushels, Kansas 24,O0O,OO Oklahoma
&c, ,OOO, 900, Nebraska $4,000, 900, Iowa
$4,000, 900, and Texas 100000.
Kansas showed a loss Of 10000, 900
bushels in winter wheat; Oklahoma
5000, 900, Nebraska 100000 and
Missouri 5000, 900, while Ohio and In
diana showed an increase Of 5000, 900
bushels each.
White potatoes promise to exceed
their former record production by
1O3, 100000 bushels, and sweet pota-
toes by 1000, 900 bushels. Other in
creases ever record crops indicated in
clude, tobacco 20, 900 pounds; flax
100000 bushels; hay 2,400,00 tons,
and rye 1900, 900 bushels. Corn pro-
spects fell 2O6, 6,OOO,O 900 bushels and
oats 16,00O, 900 bushels below the rec
ords.
Details of each crop, other than to-
tai production, as announced by the
department, follow:

SEED CORN TO BE
SCARCE NEXT YEAR
SOME CAUTIOUS FARMERS
HAVE SAVED SOME OF LAST
SEASONS CROP

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 6.-What
is North Dakota and the northwest in
general going to do for seed corn for
1915? While it is early to talk about
seed for next years crop the farm
ers who have developed corn raising
in the northwest are interested, for 1t
is an open secret that not a bushel OF
corn will ripen in North Dakota this
year and it is stated on good author
ity that Minnesota and northern Iowa
are in much the same fix.
Save Last Years Seed
A few cautious farmers have pro-
tected themselves by saving few
bushels of last years crop, each year
guarding against just what happened
this season. But it is estimated that
there is considerably less than hum
dred bushels of northern grown seed
corn of successful varieties in the
state at this time. One corn farmer
last week declared that he would not
take $25 bushel for the seed corn
which he has.
Few Realize Conditions
Few realize the significance of the
condition this year. The setback
which will be suffered to corn raising
is near appalling. For years farmers
have been acclimating the choice vari-
eties, each year saving the best seed.
in an effort to secure variety Of corn
peculiarly suited for the northern eli
mate. To see one entire crop wiped
out, leaving no seed, except what has
been saved from the year previous, is
recognized as a keen loss which will
be left for years, and which it is fear
ed will tend to discourage branch Of
farming which has taken years to de-
velop to the present stage.

FRENCH RENEW
WAR PLEDGE

SESSION IN MOST PATRIOTIC
MANNER

Paris, Aug. 6.-The first meeting Of
the chamber of deputies after the an
niversary of the beginning Of the
war and after the establishment Of
the union of all political parties in
France, to endure so long as the war
lasts, was held yesterday. The sea
sion was marked by an extraordinary
demonstration Of patriotism which
was a strong indication Of. the unani-
nifty of all Frenchmen Of every faith
and shade Of political belief. The
meeting was the first since the forma-
tion Of the present coalition cabinet in
France.
Paul Deschanel president Of the
chamber, opened the session with IN
eloquent speech, which was appar..
emily intended to be following Of
the example Of the address of M.

duma, at the recent opening Of that
legislative body, and reply to the
anniversary manifesto Of the German
emperor. To this Premier Viviani
gave response in the name Of the
government.
Year Of Glory
NJ. Deschanel said year had pass
ed since the enemy Of France, even
before declaring war, had violated
French territory. :.
"This year has been 50 full Of .
plorv so pure," he declared, "that 1t
will forever illumine the human race.
It has been a year in which the
France of Joan Of Arc and Valmy,
has risen If possible to even greater
heights"
Continuing, the president Of the
chamber recounted briefly "the break.
ing of the German military power"
and "the forcing back of the enemy
of France.
"Be the war of short or long dura-
ton, France accepts it," M. Deschanel
declared. "The country is sum-
moning it's genius and changing its
methods. Each French soldier, be.
fore the enemy, repeats the words Of
Joan of Arc: You can enchain me,
but YOU cannot enchain the fortunes
of France These touches of human
grandeur come from the depths of
the muddy trenches q
Matter of Constancy
M. Deschanel then reviewed in a
1e" "OTUS Lue wV1A VI Pa
praisine especially the activities OF
the several committees.
In an eloquent passage the presl;;
dent Of the chamber then repeated
the determination Of France to con-
tinue the struggle to complete VIC
tory. "It is a matter of that honor
which France always has preferred
to life."
A message from President Poln-
care was read in the chamber OF Pre-
mier Viviant and in the senate by
Aristide BRAND. minister of Justice.
It was addressed to the French par
lament and reviewed the first year
of the war. M. Poincare laid especial
emphasis on the sacred union Of the
political parties Of France" calling
this one Of the conditions Of victory.

CZAR'S FORCES
SEEM TO BE OUT
LOOKS AS If RUSSIANS HAD ES-
CAPPED FROM TRAP-MAY
SURROGATE SERBIA


are pushing the Russians back from
the old fighting ground around War
saw, and are meanwhile making de-
termined efforts to entrap or crush
the armies of Grand Duke Nicholas
before they have chance to make
good their retreat to their new de-
fensive positions.
Particularly successful operations
looking to this end are reported by
Vienna where the claim is made that.
Arch Duke Joseph Ferdinand's army
has forced the Russians IN disorder
across the Vieprz near Lubartoy,
southwest of Miechow. Unofficial ad-
vices from Austrian headquarters in
dicate that a split in the Russian lines
caused by these operations may spell
danger for the forces thus divided. A
probability that the troops retiring
from the vicinity of Ivangorod will
protect the line of retreat, however
is suggested.
Military observers in London ex--
press the opinion that the entrapping
attempts will fail, gathering from
official reports the indications that the
Russians may now be expected to
reach their new line safely.
The latest official reports from
Rome recount activity by Italian
mountain troops resulting in gains.
In Cadore the Austrians have been
forced back as far as the south slopes
Of Burgstall in the valley of Sexten:
The statement declares counter at,
tacks by the Austrians on the Carso
plateau are characterized as "weak,"
and were easily repulsed. The AUS
trian official report declares that all
the Italian attempts have been re-.
pulsed.
London, Aug. 9.-Russia, having
refused to consider the proposal Mon
day by the German emperor for peace
with part of Poland traded for Ca
licia, the great struggle in east must
continue. AS there are no lndlca-
tions of an immediate general o6en-
sive by either side in the west, the
struggle of the Russian forces to
shake themselves free of the Austro-
German grip remains the chief factor
in the war news, with added interest
in the Dardanelles operations.
The Gallipoli field will be closely
watched because Of its possible bear

PRISONERS TO MINE COAL
German Military Authorities to Aid
Coliiery Owners.

Essen, Germany, Feb IL, (yia Ber-
lin and London Announcement has
been made here that the coal mine
owners have reached an agreement
with the military authorities to sup
ply them with prisoners of war to
work in the mines. This step is TAX
en- in order to relieve the scarcity OF
labor, which has become acute within
the past few months.
The mine owners have been trying
in vain to keep the production of coal
equal to the requirements Of the mar
ket These have Increased as re-
suit of the big demands for military
purposes. The owners have not
been able to produce coal as fast as
it was wanted, and they will now be
supplied with prisoners of war to
help them.
The military authorities purpose to
select from among French Belgian
and Russian prisoners men who have
previously worked in mines. Camps
for their accommodation already
have been established in the coal
