ROOT KNOT CAUSES GREAT

AMERICA SEEKS AID
OF ALLIES CENSORS
Wants Names of Our Ships That Sink
U-Boats Suppressed to Safeguard
Captains.

WASHINGTON, June As a result
Of the action of the French government
in permitting a cable despatch to be
sent from Paris to American newspa
pers stating that the American ship
Silvershell had engaged Uboat, and
probably had sunk the German vessel
the State department has taken up with
the European allies Of the United
States the matter of censoring such
messages so as TO eliminate the name Of
any American vessel sinking an enemy
submarine The attitude of the state
department is based Oh the practical
ground that the Germans have threat
ened to treat as a pirate the command
or of any merchant vessel that engages
4 U-boat
In support of their desire to procure
the suppression of the names of mcr-
chantmen sinking submarines, officials
cite the case of Captain Fryatt, the
commander of a British merchantmen,
who was executed by the Germans for
resisting an effort to sink his ship
Fryatt was treated as a pirate, aud il
was stated at the time by the German
authorities that similar fate awaited
any enemy merchant captain who fired
on or attempted to sink U-boat by
ramming
Officials also pointed out that ever
since it had been published that the
American steamship Mongolia had an
encounter with a U-boat and was be-
loved to have sunk the German vessel
persistent attempts had been made by
I boats to intercept the Mongolia. On
her last trip, according to the press ac-
counts, the Mongolia ran into a nest of
submarines. The Germans, officials be
heNe, have determined to sink the
Mongolia.
In connection with the representations
to France on the subject of the Silver
she'll attention was called today to the
fact that while press dispatches an
nounclng the arrival of General Perish
ing in London carefully suppressed
the name of the British port at which
he landed, it was stated that among
those who greeted him on his arrival at
tins port was the Lord Mayor off Liv-
crpool.

WHEAT CROP IS

WASHINGTON, June Q. ~ America IS
1917 wheat crop, as forecast yesterday
by the department of agriculture, will
fall far below normal despite pros
poet for q more than ordinary yield of
spring wheat.
a total yield estimated at 656, 600 900
bushels will give the country 100000
more bushels than last year S crop, but
with the heavy demands from abroad
and virtually no reserve store, it will
not meet war needs unless the country
practices the most rigid economy.
The department forecast spring crop
of 2S3,0o0,0o0 bushels, big yield, but
estimates of winter wheat production
gives a crop of only 100000 bushels,
100000 more than was forecast from
the May | condition, but still far from
the normal yield.

100000 bushels of grain, most of it to
come from the United States and Cana
da. The short wheat crop means that
this country will have to cut its wheat
consumption if it exports any wheat.
since the United States itself normally
uses more than 600 100000 bushels At
the beginning of 1916 there were l64,-
100000 bushels on hand carried over
from the previous year S record crop
Some relief is seen in the better
showing this year in the forecast of
rye, which will be record crop. oats,
and barley. \ large corn crop also I'M
douhtcdly will be grown in response
to the repeated requests from govern
ment officials for increased production.
Winter wheat last fall was planted on
one Of the largest acrcages ever record
ed, but severe winter conditions caused
almost one-third of the area to be ahan-
doncd. The crop came through tho
winter in poor condition, and the April
forecast was only 100000. 600 bushels.
May 5 forecast showed a reduction of
6i,00o.000 bushels. The latest forecast
based on June | conditions, showed i'm
Provcmcnt of 1000 900 bushels over
May with total of 80 900 900 bushels.
The final outturn may he above or be
low that figure.
Spring wheat, the June report shows,
was planted on an area almost as large
as that of 1919, when a record crop of
352 100000 bushels was grown The con
dition Of that crop on June was al
most two points below the ten wear ay-
erage, indicating a production of only
2s3,0o0,00 bushels. With favorable
growing conditions the production NAV
reach greater proportions by harvest
time.
The late spring prevented farmers
from putting as much land in spring
wheat as had been expected. and the
cold weather has prevented termination
to n certain extent.
The indications are for a crop Of oats
third in size in the country S history.
and for crop of rye exceeding the rec
ord by 100000 bushels Barley also
will be heavy crop, probably third in
size III history.
The forecast issued in detail was as
