The 1918 Oklahoma wheat yield is
estimated at 33,75O,00 bushels
This estimate will be lowered or
raised by threshing figures to be
shown during the next month. Last
years wheat crop was 29.756,0O0
bushels. The 1918 crop had previ-
ously been estimated at from tween
ty-nine million to thirty-one million
bushels. These figures are given in
the monthly report on crop condi-
tions for June. The growing con-
dition of wheat at the time of har-
vest was SIS per cent, compared with
6S per cent on the same date last
year. The increase of the 1918 crop
is not the acreage but the yield per
acre. This compares as of 12 bush T.

Italy Is Hunting Cause of
Last Years Great Defeat

ROME. July LIN response to n
growing popular demand the Italian
government has appointed com.
mittee to investigate the causes OF
the great reverse of last year. The
men appointed on the committee are
such ms TO inspire great confidence,
the chairman being Admiral Cane,
varo.
This is an interesting bit Of news
for Americans because Admiral
Canevaro was born on their side OF

but his grandfather was from Genoa.
When still a boy Admiral Cancvaro
returned to Italy and recovered hia
Italian nationality. He has been in
turn minister OF the navy, minister
of foreign affairs and premier OF
Italy.
Conjectures have been made as
to just what the report of the COM
mittee viii! be but the most plausible
reasons which nave been given may
be covered by three heads, military,
political and moral.
II will be remembered that in Oc-
tobcr 1917, the Italian army was
hurled back when actually In Aus.
trian territory and apparently free
to reach Vienna and Budapest in ths
closing months OF last year The
army had been victorious up TO this
time. But the army's victorious ad-
vances left its left flank exposed at
one OF the most dangerous points
of Italy's dangerous frontier. The
enemy lost no time. took advantage
of this oversight Of the Italian su-
preme command forced the passes
with overwhelming numbers of men

When the June business Of the

Of gross production tax brings that

not be difficult to forecast the next

the levy of 2h was made, was
