In anticipating the total yield
of wheat for the state considera-
tion must be given to the short
area seeded, being 245, 943 acres
short of a ten-year average.
However, with the high average
production per acre, the total
yield will not fall far short of a
ten-year average crop.
The area of corn shows an in
crease of 1913 per cent, as COM
pared with last year, or about
324, $50 acres.
The condition of the crop as
compared with an average is 80
per cent. Damage by cut worm
3 per cent, by grub, 2. The ex-
cessive wet weather is retarding
cultivation.
Potatoes have increased in area
as compared with last year 15.4
per cent, or about 1921 acres.
The present prospects for a crop
are very good, showing SO per
cent of a full average. Last year
the potato crop was about one
half ap average. With the in
creased acreage this year and the
better prospect for product, the
potato crop in Ohio promises to
be very large.
The area of field beans report
ed last month was 1901 acres,
with a condition of IS per cent.
This months report shows an in
crease of 6221 acres, with a grow
ing condition Of 81 per cent.
Meadows very light and weedy.
Tobacco area compared with
last year 80 per cent.
Weather conditions were un-
favorable to plant growth. Cut
worms are doing considerable
damage.

Q ST Q RIA
Weather in Ohio for
June.

Cool weather attended by fre,
quent and locally heavy rains was
persistent throughout the first
and second decades of the month,
making conditions quite unfav-
orable for the termination of
seeds, the rapid growth of plants,
and for farm work generally, but
not altogether unfavorable for
the more substantial though slow
growth of wheat, oats, meadows,
pastures and gardens. The wea-
ther was decidedly cool during
the four-day period from the 14th
to the 17th inclusive. when the
temperatures averaged from TO-
to 20 below the seasonal normal.
AS a result of the continued cold,
wet condition of the soil and the
consequent rotting of the seed
considerable re-planting of corn
was necessary in some sections
of the state. During the third
decade, however, the weather
conditions were much more fev-
orable and as a result the plant
ing of corn was finished, fields
were given a thorough cultiva-
ton, and all crops made rapid
growth.
The rainfall coming as it fire.
quently did in the form of thun-
dershowers was more or less To-
cal in character and the station
amounts for the month varied
greatly over the state. ranging
from slightly less than three in
ches at a few stations to consid.
erabIy over seven inches at a
number of stations. AS a rule,
the station amounts were in ex.
cess of the seasonal normal, and
in general, the fall was greatest
in central and southeastern coun'
ties.

WITH THE FRENCH ARM ES
IN THE FIELD. May Ger
many's retirement from France
must come unless Hindenburg can
stop the French drive.
Today's fighting brought proof
Of complete realization of the ne
cessity of such retreat by the
German commanders in the super
human effort which The enemy is
making to save the Rheims salient.
Germany's picked troops are
being hurled into the breach made
by the French. The flower of the
German army, which Hindenburg
had saved for what he hoped would
be a final decisive offensive, is
now being sacrificed.
Entirely aside from the Franco
British offensive between the Aisne
and Lens. the Germans are now
facing an equal menace in the
Champagne. They know that the
French offensive between the Aisne
and Moronvilliers threatens to
force their evacuation of the
Rheims salient.
Slaughtered Like. Sheep
The 5000 prisoners taken up to
today does not indicate a shat
tered German morale. On the con-
trary, the Germans are resisting
with the degree of desperation
hitherto unknown. But the num-
Der of prisoners does reflect the
immense bodies of troops which
the Germans are throwing into
the conflict.
They are being put to the
slaughter like sheep. Today,
standing on a height from which
| could see the French steadily
wiping out the Hindenburg salient,
1t was possible with glasses to
make out long lines of motor lor-
ries behind the German trenches,
each packed tight with German
troops and speeding to the charnal
house of the German front lines.
Retreat Threatened
Arriving there, these fresh re-
serves were unendingly launched
against the French. And they
melted away unendingly In the
French machine gun fire, the
deadly accurate barrage of the
famous Soixante Quinzes, the cold
steel of the French bayonets or
the explosions OF French grenades.
The double success of the allied
armies today menaces the entire
Hindenburg retreat line from its
two most vital points. The victor
ies constitute the first great OBJ
tectives toward which every local
French and English action since
the beginning of the great often
'sive has strategically contributed.
