RAINFALL MAY ROT
NEARBY GRAIN CROPS
Department of Agriculture Con-
cerned Over Fate of Wheat.

If the present wet weather continues
the wheat crop in and around the
District may be an almost complete
failure, according to statements made
late yesterday afternoon by the De-
partment of AZ. iculture.
Wheat. experts say has heen cut
and shocked for the past week and
more. Dry. sunny days are neejcd
in order that the ripeped grain may
be dried. The continual storms have
prevented the farmer from spreading
his crop in the field, and 1t is thought
that 1t may rot in the shocks.
The rainfall yesterday measured 3.27
inches. The total for July this year,
9.25 inches. is practically double the
July, average precipitation.
According to the Weather Bureau,
the storms yesterday were purely To-
cal. No rain fell at Baltimore, cnd
only light rains were experienced
south of the District. The report for
today calls for cloudy and unsettled
weather. with possible local storms.
The outlook for crops other than
wheat is fair, the agricultural off,
Gals say. Tomatoes and potatoes on
some farms are showing a blight

vegetables are good.
Corn has been hampered somewhat.

In a letter to Charles F. .Nesbit,
chairman of the District Council Mr..
Columbus pointed out that it would be
difficult to regulate the discount
proposition and that experience has
proven to the merchants OF the city
that discounts Of any sort are not
satisfactory.
The organization. he said, favors
the adoption Of a twice-a-day delivery
and an extra charge for any delivery
made outside that time, which would
be fair to producer and consumer
and would place all customers on the

When stationed in. Washington or

ments. officers are allowed additional
compensation in lieu of quarters,
light and heat, which Is provided at
army posts. On field duty, however,
to which most of the young officers
will soon be detailed, there is no such
allowance.
A second lieutenant's monthly pay
Is $ll.67, and, it is true in civil life.
housekeeping is often carried on on
less than that, and with strict econ
omy breakers are avoided But in
civil life it is not necessary for the
husband to spend from $500 to 500 on
clothes. Many of the junior officers
who married Immediately on gradua-
ton are facing a serious problem.
The private's mess is furnished by
the government. but the commission
ed officer has to spend about $1.25 a
day, or $40 a month, for board. Even
with the strictest economy in the
matter of clothes. this leaves but
$500 year. Out of this, simply heavy
sums have to be paid for laundry. In

REBUILD INVADED
PARTS OF FRANCE

II present plans are carried to
fruition, the invaded parts OF France
will be rebuilt on a larger and finer
scale than before they were leveled
to the ground by the German armies.
Narrow streets in cities and towns
will be widened. The little one and
two-story dwellings so well known
to American tourists will be enlarged
and beautiied. Insanitary conditions
will be generally eliminated and other
measurably improved.
In all probability these sections OF
France will afford a market for guam
titles of American lumber and other
building materials, due in part TO the
ravages of war on both French man
power and materials OF all KINDS.
