JUNE FORECAST OF
PRINCIPAL CROPS
Improvement in Wheat Condition Indi-
Gates Total Yield of ESQ.,
100000 Bushels.

Washington, d. c., June 9,---The pro-
spective wheat crop of the United States
this year was forecast yesterday by
the department of agriculture at $685.
100000 bushels, combining a revised esti-
mate of the badly damaged winter wheat
crop and the first estimate of the new
spring wheat crop, based on June con-
ditions. That compares with 640000000
bushels harvested last year and 806,000,-
600 bushels the average crop for bills.
Improved weather conditions during
May increased prospects of winter wheat
and indicated yielG of 373,0O0,000 bush
els. The crop began this spring under
adverse conditions, l2,437 900 acres hav
ing to be abandoned because of the Sc
we're winter and other causes. April
conditions indicated production of $780,
900 bushels, but during that month the
conditions were so poor that the
May | forecast was reduced to 366, 49,
600 bushels.
The increased spring wheat area, placed
at l903a,000 acres, and the good start OF
this crop under excellent growing condi
tions. indicate production of 2s3 100000
bushels, compared with 1853 $4,000 bush
els last year, 35l, 900 bushels in 1915,
and 233 81 900 bushels, the average for
the previous five years.

and next week the committee will take
up the anthracite situation.
The meeting appointed subcommittee,
one of which already has proposed a plan
of pooling at Hampton Roads and New
port News. About 100 classifications
have been reduced to eight. Another
committee will discuss the pooling from
other ports. A situation even more Sc
rious than that in New England, for To-
cal reasons, has existed at the lake ports,
where some 500 elassifications existed.
The general committee on coal produc
ton, of which Francis S. Peabody is
chairman attacked this first, and through
agreements with the railroads and ter
rife reduction OF classidcations the lake
ports bid fair to be served efficiently un
til the close of the season. which owing
to the lateness of the spring will be only
five months longer this year

FOOD SHORTAGE
GROWING ACUTE
Government Officials Want
Relief from Con-
gress
EXPECT OPPOSITION
IN THE SENATE
Action of House on Control
Bill Is Anxiously
Awaited

! Washington, d. c., June .. - Unless
there is relief soon, the food situation in
the United States will become acute, ac-
cording to government officials pressing
for action on the administration food
bill.
Already the threatened outbreak
against food prices is smouldering, and
the suffering from lack of life's necessi-
ties in many of the large cities is now
chronic, they say.
Bread is the fetish of food. Without
the loaf you cannot preserve public
tranquility" Food Administrator Hoo
Yer says.
1t is now question Of food control by
the government or by the gambler, Off
Gals say, and it is up to Congress to de-
termine which is TO control the situation.

the country" Assistant Secretary of Ag-
riculture Carl Vrooman declared yester
day. 1T is food control by the specula.
tor and gambler tempered somewhat, it
is true, by the threatening club of indiet-
ment. But the weapon is unwieldy and
inadequate.
Because irresponsible tyrants are ex-
plotting the people, there is already fam
inc in the way OF necessary nourishment
among great numbers of the poor"
In the face of this situation, Congress
is about TO tackle the food control bill.
which places in the hands of President
Wilson or any one he may designate vir-
tual dictatorship of conservation and
distribution of foodstuffs during the war.
The only real danger to the measure
lies in the Senate, it is believed. The
House is expected to pass the bill by a
large majority after few days debate.
Senators Reed Missouri; Hoke Smith,
Georgia; and Kirby, Arkansas, together
with others, have consistently held out
against further concentration of author
ity. That the bill is unconstitutional is
a point that will be raised by some,
But apart from these conscientious
there is strong propaganda |
Of ''unloyal pro-Gcrman and unloyal rab
id pacifists," working against the meas
ure, according to government officials |
The disloyalists see in the bill, it is de- |
clared, an attempt TO place the food con |
troll departments on such an efficient ba |
sis as to insure immediate and effective |
strokes by the United States against her
The people are apparently urging their
legislative representatives here TO get
the bill over, because they see in it relief
from oppressive prices. As a result, off
'ials are confident the bill will finally be
passed, provided President Wilson keeps
MS shoulder to the wheel.
