Wheat Crop Improves.

The prospective wheat crop of the
United States this year was TO ec'st
by the department of agriculture at
656,0O0,O00 bushels.
This combines revised estimate OF
the badly damaged winter wheat croT
and the first estimate of the new
spring wheat crop, based on June
conditions.
That compares with 640,000,000 bush.
els harvested last year and 806,000,0C0
bushels, the average crop for 1911.
1915.
The increased spring wheat area,
placed at 19,039,000 acres, and the
good start of this crop under excellent
growing conditions, indicate produc'
tion of 2S3,000,000 bushels.
This compares with '15S, $4,000 bush.
els last year, 351,S54,O0O bushels in
1915, and 1851 900 bushels, the aver
age for the previous five years.
First announcement of areas plant
ed was made as follows:
Spring wheat, 19,O39,0O0 acres; all
"uedl, dIlCS, OdIS, fo,loIS
900 acres; barley, 8,379,O00 acres.
Improved weather conditions during
May increased prospects of winter
wheat and indicated crop Of 373,000s
900 bushels. The crop began this
spring under adverse conditions, 12,'
$4,000 acres having to be abandoned
because of the severe winter and other
causes.
April! l conditions indicated a pro-
duction of 43O,O0O.OOO bushels. During
that month growing conditions were SO
poor that the Nav / forecast was re.
duced to 366, ,116,000 bushels.

GEN. PERSHIHG
NOW IN LONDON
U. S. Commander and Staff
Received by Dignitaries;;
GIVEN A WARM WELCOME
Leader of First American Troops
Against Kaiser Accompanied by
Staff of 1873.

= Major General John J. Pershing, U
S. A., and his party landed at a port IN
Great Britain.
General Pershing, who commands
the first United States exped.tionary
force to combat the Germans IN
France, reached London. He was wei
coined by Walter Hines Page, the
American ambassador; Lord Derby
secretary of state for war; Viscount
French, commanding the British home
forces, and other officers.
These included Lord Brooke, who
will be attached to General Pershings
staff during his stay in England.
General Pershing was the first to
step off the train. Mr.. Page introauc
ed him to Viscount French. The two
generals exchanged formal salutes
Then they shook hands heartily and
exchanged smiles. Visco1nt French
introduced General PeTshing to Lord
Derby, Sir Francis Lloyd and Lord
Brooks.
Other persons on the station plat
form were members of the embas y
Rear Admiral Sims, U. S. N, and Rob
ert P. Skinner, the consul general.
The fact that no advance informa'
ion regarding the arrival of the part
had been published caused the re-e2
ton of it's members 70 be almost OF a
private character. The few pecrl'
who gathered at the STATEN and raise
cheers for the American uniform,
hardly realized the importance of the
event. The station was guarded by
military and police, who usherel the
American officers to the motor c"r'
awaiting them and tie soldiers to ON
nibuses, which took them to. their
quarters.
The expected arrival of General
Pershing and his party had been kent
:. fairly close secret from the public
but the many preparations for the
visitors which had been going on IN
secrecy came into pubic visw early
tris morning. Several floors or rooms
in a hotel had been reserved for the
American party and the hotel was COM
rletely transformed by the placing o.
numerous sign boards, the installations
Of bureaus of information, etc., design
ed to make the most efficient possible
use of the place as temporary Ameri'
can army headquarters.
General Pershing and the twelve Of
fcers of his senior staff are to be the
guests of the government at the Savoy.
The remai:RFer Of the contingent viii
be looked after by American societies
in London. The American chahmber
of commerce, the Pilgrims, the Lunch
ecn club. the American society and
the American Women's club have com.
bined to entertain the visitors. James
Dunring, European manager of the
National City bank, has been delegated
to take charge of the civil entertain
intent.
The Junior staff officers are also to
have quarters at the Savoy, whi e the
enlisted men will be quartered in the
Tower of London.
The entertainment program is to be
financially sustained by American or
ganizations and individuals.
The general and his party were re-
,eived by the officers at the port OF
arrival, the general commanding the
district and the mayor. They were
escorted frcm the dock by band and
a guard of honor.

MILLION NEGROES REGISTER

Service in New Army.
The number of negroes to be select
ed for service is in the same ratio
their population bears to the whites.
Figures announced show more than
100000 men of military age register
ed. AS there are ten whites for eve~y
negro in the United States it is rea-
sonab1e to suppose that slightly more
than 1000 900 negroes registered.
Just how many will be called IS
problematical, but 1t is the purpose of
the war department to call on them
wherever they can be fitted into the
service Their record as soldiers is
unexcelled, and under fire they always
have acquitted themselves srlendid!y.
So far as registration was concern.
ed, there was no distinction shown.
Whites and negroes registered in the
same booths and all of military age
are subject to call to the colors.
