OCEAN LINER IN U-BOAT FIGHT
Steamer Attacked Off New foundland and Shelled, Re
 turns Fire and Escapes.

New York, July Passengers of a British liner that arrived in an Allan tic port yesterday reported that their vessel was shelled by a submarine last Friday afternoon south of Newfound- land. The U boat came to the surface several miles away and opened fire.
 The liner turned so that her stern was toward the submarine and then started full speed ahead. For three quarters of an hour her stern gun crew exchanged shots with the U boat. The aim of the Germans was bad and the liner escaped unscathed.
 Before the liner had outdistanced the submarine a second U boat was sighted in the distance. To those on board the liner it seemed to be chas- ing another vessel. Passengers said that it was afterward learned by wire less that the second submarine had chased a British freighter, which suc- ceeded in sinking her.
 Another scare was thrown into the passengers on Saturday morning when several submarines were sighted only a short distance away. For the third time since the ship left Eng | land there was a rush for the lifeboat stations and the ships gunners opened fire on the first of the U boats. Three shots, all of which went wild, were fired before it was discovered that the submarines were American craft.

SARNICK STRUCK
 BY TRAIN BELIEF
 OF THE CORONER

Presumably struck by train, the body of Joseph Sarnick was found on the N. Y, N. H: & H. R. R. at 2:30 o'clock this morning by the tower man located very close to the Tin Bridge. The body was about 15O feet from the line between Fairfield and Bridgeport Medical Examiner W. H. Donaldson of Fairfield was sent for and took charge of the body, sending it to Cull1nan, Mullins & Buckley in this city.
 This morning the body was iden- tif1ed by the daughter of the dead man. In the meantime Dr. Doona1dson had reported the case to Coroner Phelan and had also visited J. W. Schwerdtle's place of business on Cannon street as one of the few sources of identification on the body was a pin, evidently fraternal emblem, which had been made by Schwerdtle.
 The man was plainly but neatly dressed in a blue serge suit and in one of the pockets was evidently a re- ceipt for milk from the Borden Go. made out to Sarnick, and dated June Is.

SOUTH DROPS ONE CROP
 SYSTEM TO HELP NATION

Dallas, Texas, July 27.-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 a Texas farmer, 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 situa- tion in the South, where large quan- titles of food now are being raised. The immediate and important effect members of agricultural departments say, is the sharp decGease in the drain on the North and West, which now permits of greater overseas shipments from those sections.
 Fixed government prices, insuring a fair return, encouraged planting l agents of the agricultural departments and agricultural schools pointed out to the southern farmer the benefits of a varied crop, and the excellent weath- CT brought crops that authorities say will result in still greater acreage ot wheat and oats next year. The idea weather resulted in an early harvest
 Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana North Carolina, Florida and Virginia will harvest greatly diversified foo6 crops this year. One striking result is shown in a shipping report from Al abama. Until four years ago from + counties in the state not a single car load of hogs was shipped. In the year ending April 1, 1918, hogs to fiji 2,352 cars were sent from the sam, counties. The value of the hogs nov growing in these counties was estmiat ed at $4,00O.O0O. Formerly the sec tion raised little except cotton.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-29

A summary recently issued by the Federal Reserve bank for the Elev- enth 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 S,000,000 to 12,000,- 900 bushels and the oats crop at ap- proximately 50,000,000 bushels" the report said. '"The yield is greatly cur tailed on account of unfavorable con- ditions in the Panhandle section where in normal times, the grain is exten- sively produced. In more favored parts of. Texas, the north, northwest and central portions, the yield Is far above normal. The acreage sown in peanuts and other feed crops in all sections Of the Eleventh Federal Re- serve district has been unusually large and correspondents advise these crops are doing nicely. Some sections of West Texas which for two years and more have suffered a terrific drought almost completely demoralizing the cattle business are again coming into their own.
 "The outlook in the cattle industry has shown much improvement in the last month," the report continues. "A large area of the range country has received fine rains and there is bet ter feeling among cattle and sheer men. It is still very dry in portions of New Mexico and the cattle inter ests are suffering. In the Pan Handl section of Texas conditions are mucl improved. Recent rains have mad Iplenty of grass and the shipping o cattle to pasture in other sections no longer necessary
