A summary recently issued by the
federal reserve bank for the Eleventh
Federal Reserve district dwelt on the
prosperity following the planting Of
a varied crop in the largest state in
the union.
Authorities whom we consider en-
tirely conservative, estimate the Texas
wheat crop from 100000 to 100000
bushels and the oats crop at approxi-
mately 50,O00,000 bushels" the report
said. "The yield is greatly curtaled
on account of unfavorable conditions
in the Panhandle section, where in
normal times. the grain is extensive
ly produced. In more favored parts
of Texas, the north, northeast and
central portions, the yield is far above
normal. The acreage sown in pea
nuts and other feed crops in all sec
tions of the Eleventh Federal Reserve
district has been unusually large and
correspondents advise these crops are
doing nicely.

British Have an Open Air
Camp to Cure tuberculosis

An important experiment in the
treatment Of tuberculous soldiers has
just been inaugurated by the British
authorities at Papworth hall, near
Cambridge. Here an estate OF 100
acres of park and woodland has been
turned into an open air sanitorium,
where the patients will undergo
treatment and work at the same time.
The men already assigned to the
Papworth hall sanitorium are at work
as carpenters, tailors and market gar
deners. For some, cottages have been
erected, while others must remain in
the main building under closer medi-
cal supervision until the doctors are
satisfied that they are ready to live
by themselves in the cottage colony.

the following story:
Some time ago. Perkins had private

THE outlook in the cattle industry

large area of the range country has
received fine rains and there is a bet
ter feeling among cattle and sheep
men. 1t is still very dry in portions
of New Mexico and the cattle inter-
ests are suffering. In the Panhandle
section of Texas conditions are much
improved. Recent rains have made
plenty of grass and the shipping of
cattle to pasture in otler sections is
no longer necessary"
The fruit crop has been good,
peaches in particular being plentiful.

SOUTH DROPS ONE
CROP SYSTEM; IS
FEEDING ITSELF
Necessities of War Force the
Southerners to Vary Crops
to Provide Food for
the People.

Dallas, Tex. July H.-The south
has dropped the one-crop system and
is beginning to feed itself and help
the rest OF the nation, thus putting an
end to the story about Texas farm
er who bought his beans in Boston,
his furniture In Grand Rapids, his
food in Kansas City and raised only
cotton and a pack of hungry dogs.
The war, according to authorities,
has done more than years of advice
in bringing about the present situation
in the south, where large quantities
of food now are being raised. The
immediate and important effect, men,
bers of agricultural departments say,
is the sharp decrease in the drain on
the north and west. which now per-
mits of greater overseas shipments
from those sections.
Raise More Wheat.
Fixed government prices, insuring
a fair return, encouraged planting.
Agents of the agricultural depart
ments and agricultural schools point
ed out to the southern farmer the
benefits of a varied crop, and the ex-
cellent weather brought crops that au-
thorities say will result in still greater
acreage of wheat and oats next year.
The ideal weather resulted in an
early harvest.
Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana
North Carolina, Florida and Virginia
will harvest greatly diversified food
crops this year. One striking result
is shown in a shipping report from
Alabama. UntiLfour years ago from
II counties in the state not a single
carload of hogs was shipped. In the
year ending April /. 1918. hogs to
fill 2,352 were sent from the same
counties. The value of the hogs now

RASPUTIN KICKED

BEEN EXECUTED

gE. A. Special to The Evening Journa.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden. Nov 29.-New
leports keep coming indicating that the
Brand Duke Nicholas. former COM
mander-in-chief Of the Russian army,
has not been executed, as several times
reported. and these recall personal

Early in the war, when he was IN
bower, he met q group Of army con-
tractors by appointment and this was
bis conversation with them: Good
morning If anyone OF you cheats me
! will hang him. Good morning"
Another story reveals his contempt
for Rasputin, the monk who had such
strange power over The Gar and
Lzarina. Rasputin called on the
brand Duke one morning and declared
that Our Lady had appeared TO him
two nights before and commanded him
20 tell the Grand Duke to make peace
with Germany. That's odd" said
Nicholas. "Our Lady appeared TO me
last night and told me you were COM
ing and that should kick you out OF
she room" And the Grand Duke car
lied out the Injunction. The next day
ne was exiled.
