which promises record crop. was gen erally improved.
 Shortage in the winter wheat crop fully as great as preliminary reports have forecast and little increase this year in the yield of potatoes are re- ported from every part of the country. The reports were made public today as part of the boards program to en- courage farmers to plant all acreage possible of cultivation.
 Three important facts affecting the crop and food situation stand out in the reports received from the presi- dents of the twelve land banks" the boards statement reads. These facts are stated as follows:
 The winter wheat crop will be snort to quite as great extent as pre- lmlnary reports have shown
 The shortage of labor and the high price of seed will prevent a material increase in the potato acreage, com mercially grown, but the increased plantings in small plots for home con- sumption will be a net gain.
 There is in all parts of the United States an organized movement on the part of communities state govern ments, agricultural colleges and civic
 
 food crisis, in many sections this movement taking the form of proyid ing the farmer with additional labor and seasonal loans at low interest,"
 Reports from presidents of the var lOuS land banks are detailed. By dis | tricts they state:
 Springfield, Mass.-The wheat crop of New York is two-thirds gone Pota- to crop yield will not be materially in creased except in New Jersey i St Louis One-half the winter | wheat in Illinois will be plowed and the replanting will be in corn The same IS true of Northern Missouri. The Arkansas wheat crop is all right The potato crop in these states will be but i slightly increased Some sort of con- scription of farm labor is suggested by President Danforth to meet the acute ! labor shortage.
 St. Paul-But little winter wheat is grown in this section, but the ground IS m excellent condition for spring seeding. Potato acreage will be in creased. Labor is scarce.
 Omaha-The winter wheat. crop is almost complete failure in Nebraska and Iowa and fields are being plowed up for corn and oats, mostly corn. The potato crop is slightly increased.
 Louisville-Indiana wheat crop is two-thirds of the average. Potato acre age has not been increased.
 Houston. Texas-Wheat crop is all most a complete failure. Texas will raise hardly enough potatoes for home consumption. Corn acreage will be in- creased sufficiently to provide for corn export.
 New Winter wheat crop almost complete failure. Southern acreage of potatoes increased
 Columbia, S. C.-Wheat crop is 2E per cent less than normal, the potato acreage being only slightly increased

 Desperate fighting took place over many sectors between French and Ger mans today, the Germans launching numerous powerful counter attacks. all of which were put down with great losses. the official report says.
 The French official statement issned tonight says:
 South of St. Quentin. after a very spirited bOmhardment the Germans at lacked our positions east of Gauchy. The first attemDt. stopped. short hy our fire, was followed by second of greater violence during which groupe- "f the enemy penetrated our advanced elements In immediate counter at tacks all the occupants were killed or taken prisoner. Our line was com pleteIy reestablished
 Between SoissOns and Auberivc we energetically continued our action de- spite the persistent bad weather
 North of Chavonne our troops Oc- cupied the village of Ostel and drove back the enemy a kilometer to the north. Braye- en-L Laonnois was like wise captured as well as all the ground to the east as far as the outskirts of COurtecon.
 Under the energetic pressure of our infantry and the murderous ac- tion of our cannon the enemy fell back in disorder. abandoning important ma terial and leaving in our hands his supply of guns. A single one of our regiments took 300 prisoners belong ing to seven different regiments. We captured 19 cannon of which five were short siege guns.
 South of Laffaux our troops GOV cred on the south by divisionary cav alrU routed the enemy and occupied Nanteuil?la Posse.
 Finally. or the south bank of the Aisne an attack. carried out in spir- ited fashion, gave us a bridgehead or ~a~i7ed by the enemy between Condo and Vailly as well as the latter place in entirety.
 The forest of Nille-au- BoS an inn nortant fertilization surrounded by us threw down it's arms
 About 4:30 o'clack in the after noon the Germans launched a violent counter attack with effectives of two divisions (40,000 men) against our po- sitions between Juvincourt and the Aisne. Our barrage and the fire of our machine guns broke down the at tack and inflicted sanguinary losses on the enemy.
 East of Courcy a Russian brigade ceh1pleted it's success. carrying for tified work and taking prisoners.
 Tn the operations in all regions we captured 24 heavy field guns and three cannon of 150 milIimeters with a thousand shells for each piece. These guns were turned against the enemy
 Tn Champagne we reduced several isolated places which were still re- sisting and occupied enemy points ot support Twenty cannon. of which eight were heavy guns, and five hun dred additional prisoners fell into oui hands.
