Department of Agriculture
Announces Quantities of
Grains Needed
Increase All Crops
United States, Allies and Eu-
ropean Neutrals Are
To Be Fed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-To supply
the food needs of the United States,
the Entente nations and the European
neutrals next year, it will be necessary
to plant about 4S,7OO,OOO acres of wheat
this fall, 100000 acres Of spring
wheat. 100000 acres Of rye, 100000
acres of barley, 100000 acres of
oats and III 100000 acres OF corn, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
Departure of Agriculture to-day.
Compared with 1917, these acreages
represent increases of % per cent for
winter wheat, 10 per cent for all wheat,
81 per cent for rye, and per cent ior
oats. and decreases of 6 per cent Tor
barley and of 8 per cent for corn, or
a net increase of 4.5 per cent over the
total 1917 acreage of these cereals COM
bined.
The original programme of the De-
pertment of Agriculture called for
44.634,OOO acres of wheat to be sown
this fall. When the proposed state
acrcages were presented to the author
tiles of the states in which wheat and
rye are important crops a further in
crease was considered possible and de-
sirable by them. As a consequence, the
recommendation for the sowing of Al
$4,000 acres of winter wheat and o.
l31 900 acres of winter rye is made.
On the basis of the average yield
for the last ten years, the planting OF
approximately 1881, 900 acres of win
ter wheat will give total production
of 672,000,000 bushels, which will eX-
coed all previous winter wheat crops
harvested in the United States, with
the exception Of the crops of 1914 and
1915, when the acreage and yield per
acre were both above normal.
Assuming this increase in paintings,
if the extremely favorable conditions
under which the winter wheat crop of
1914 was grown are repeated, the yield
of winter wheat next year will be $780,
100000 bushels, or by far the largest
winter wheat crop ever produced in
this country, and even larger than the
total of both winter and spring wheat
crops for every past year except two.
The figures quoted are based upon a
winter killing of 8 per cent, and yields
of 1916 bushels for winter wheat, the
average for the last ten years, and a
yield per acre of 10 bushels, which was
the yield in 1914.

Busy Buying Outfits

Hundreds Of New Workers who have
been admitted to the second Officers
Training Camp and are scheduled to
report at Plattsburg next week were
busy yesterday purchasing their out

While the government undertakes to

them the discomfort Of living in camp
in civilians clothes while the military
authorities are assembling complete
equipments.
The ideal Pl.ttsburg outfit, accord
ing TO regular army officers at Gov
errors Island. includes a wrist watch,
one Khaki olive drab service uniform,

Denial of Smuggling
Cotton Entered by Italy

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The Italian
to-day authorized an en-
phatic denial of published reports that
large quantities of American cotton are
finding their way across the Italian
borders into Austria.
He states that there is not the slight
est foundation for any such charge,
which appears to be based entirely
upon the fact that the importations of
American cotton into Italy have greatly
increased in the past year.

executed, he shot and killed a keeper
in the death house. He had been VS.
