CONDITION OF CROP
HIGHER THAN IN 1917
About t6 Per Cent Over Ysse

Condition 10 Good.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The ArgsN
winter wheat crop ever grown in the
history OF the United States Is pro-
missed by the enormous acreage sown
this fail. The acreage is almost ls per
cent larger than last Ssar's and totals
~. or 900 acres.
A crop of $4,000, 900 bushels, or so.-
600, 900 bushels more than the best rec
ord, is forecast by the department os
agriculture for next years wheat crop.
ALLOWING for winter killing and sprins
abandonment.
The condition OF the crop on Dec.
/. was ss.5 PEI cent OF normal. COM
pared with 1913 per cent year ago.
S5.7 per cent IN 1915. and a ten year
average OF sS.2 per cent.
Rye Acreage Increased.
The area .iown to rye Is 6,S20.00o
acres, which is II per cent more than
the revised estimated area sown in tho
fall of 1917. which was 6,70S,O00 acres,
The condition Of the crop on Dec.
/, was 50 per cent of a normal. com
pared with o4.l per cent lear ago.
SSs per cent in 1916, and ten year
average of 94.4 per cent.
,Surpassss Acreage Requested.
In a statement summarizing the re.
port the department said:
The new winter wheat crop pro.
mise far transcends the performances
Of any past year in the history Of the
United States
The United States department Oh,
agricultural asked that the acreage bo
increased over the big acreage Ut
42.30 o00 planted last fall. to at least
45.O0O.000 acres. and suggested - de-
.sirahle 47.500.0O0 acres. which II yWasS
thought could be obtained II conditions
were favorable" ~ 8
Crop Conditions Almost PsHssA.
"a long and almost perfect fall
planting season. coupled with an cx-
traordinary effort on the part OF the
farmers resulted in The seeding OF
total of 49,o27.0 900 acres.
The same favorable season that
permitted the amazing increase in
acreage has also given TO the growing
condition on record, 9S.S per cent, with
eight important wheat states at 100 per
cent or over, and only one state, and
that OF small Importance. in winter
wheat, below 80 per cent
The crop promises, on the basis OF
the present acreage and condition, with
allowances with average spring aban-
donment due to winter killing. and as
Suming an average, season for deyel-
opment. is for 765. 100000 bushels of
wheat, which is so,Ol0.0Oo bushels more
than all previous records, and 206.551.-
5000 bushels more than the winter
wheat production of this year.
The rye acreage this autumn Ia
slightly larger than last, being $780,
600, compared with 670S,000 acres in
1917. The condition is 80 per cent,
compared to. Si.l per cent last year.
and 9l.+ per cent the ten year average,
the condition being held down by poor
conditions in the important producing
states of North and South Dakota.
This forecasts "A somewhat larger pEo-
duction than last years record CROP"

IABOR'S ATTITUDE
CASTS SOME DOUBT
Desire to Make Test Of Strength Under
New Elections Laws Prevents Com.
promise With Laborites-Ballots OF
Women Believed to Have Been Fairly
Divided-votes Can Not Be Counted
For Fortnight.

London. Dec. l6.-Considering the
novel conditions under which yester-
days election were held and the neccs-
,sity of waiting for a fortnight before
the ballots are counted. there is very
little indulgence in speculation as to
the result. 1t is universally admitted
TO be almost a forgone conclusion that
the Lloyd-George coalition has been
victorious and probably will have some
100 members in the new house OF
commons.
Naturally, with many millions of new
voters, women as well as men, there is
ample room for surprises and the gov
ornament party will feel doubts as to
Its success, even of several members OF
the cabinet, including Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord OF the admiralty; Sir Albert
IL. Stanley, president of the board Of
trade, and Edward Shortt, chief secreS
tary for Ireland, have been elected.
Greatest curiosity centers. however. on
the strength of the lab Dor vote. which
under new conditions is an unknown
quantity. While it is believed that the
women of south England mainly sup
ported coalitiorA candidates. it would
be no surprise II it is found that in the
midland and northern industrial
counties the women vote largely sup
ported labor.
1t was because the labor party was
determined TO test its strength that it
refused to compromise with liberal
candidates in three -cornered contests.
A compromise would have given the
coalitions much greater strength
in the new parliament. The la Dor party
hopes to win over 100 seats but it is be-
-lieved that, had the elections been
postponed until after the treaty OF
peace was signed, the party would
have secured at least 200.
Political speculation is chiefly con-
cerned with the reconstruction of the
cabinet after the election. One, rumor
credits Premier Lloyd George with
favoring the appointment Of the first
woman minister. The name of Pank-
hurst is mentioned in this connection.
General Smuts Retires.
Lieut.. Gen. Jan Christian SHUTS has
resigned as member of the war ca binet
on the ground that the end of the war
has terminated the need of his services
according to the Express.
Jan Christian SHUTS has long been
a figure in the political life Of South
Africa. During the Boer war he was
in command of the republican forces
in Cape Colony. In 1914 he became
commander of tte British forces in
East Africa, fighting against the Ger
mans, his success in that campaign
being remarkable.
In January. 1917, the British gov
ernment named him member of the
imperial war conference as representa-
tive Of the union Of South Africa. and
in June, 1917, he entered the war
cabinet.
