he is master of a falsetto the like of

The only manufactures of steel to be

OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT IS POOR
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT ES-
INMATES SHOW SMALL CROP.
Forecast Indicates Smallest Crop in
10 Years But Other Crops Show
Favorable Prospects.

Washington, May 10-Official wheat
| crop estimates show that with the
| world facing a bread shortage, the
| ent consumption, probably will pro-
duce only enough wheat this year to
supply it's own population.
The forecast, compiled by the De-
partment of Agriculture on conditions
May l, puts this country's winter
wheat yield at 366,000,000 bushels, the
smallest in 13 years.
There will be no estimate of spring
wheat acreage until July. But with a
crop of 25O,OOO,OOO bushels, which is
higher than the average, this country
will grow this year total OF only
100000 bushels.
Country Will Require All.
The normal American consumption
with seed requirements is put at
slightly more than 600,000,00 bushels.
The estimated production this year
of 366, 100000 bushels of winter wheat
falls l16,000,000 bushels short of last
years poor crop, and 30S,000,000 be-
low that of 1915, bumper crop. 1t
is 129,000,O00 bushels less than the
average for the preceding five years.
Reserve Stock Low.
Reserve stocks now are said to be
lower than for any previous CORE
spending period. ...-.
The Allies wheat requirements for
the coming year are put at 500,000,000
bushels as a minimum. The United
States will be asked to supply more
than half. Wheat crops in other parts
of the world are poor. The Argentine
crop failed and home consumption will
require the entire yield.
In statement accompanying its re-
port the Agricultural Department de-
clared that. although the winter
wheat crop conditions is the poorest
on record, crop conditions otherwise
are favorable.

sketch of the life of Robert Louis
Stevenson, whose "Child's Garden of

book of poetry ever written. His pas

Miss Hawthorne quotes:
'"There was very pleasant trait
in Stevenson's character which, per-
haps, does not display itself in most
of his writings-his great affection
for children. In an early letter
he writes: Kids is what is the mat

good to be true He had a natural
infatuatiOn, so to say, for children as
children little boys and girls
were his delight, and he was theirs"
