WEATHER HELPS CORN.
Increase of Thirty Million Bushels

Washington, Nov. S.-October
weather conditions resulted in an in
crease Of 3O.000,000 bushels in the
country's crop Of corn. The depart
ment of agriculture's November crop
report today placed the preliminary
estimate of production at 2,749,1SS,-

smaller in size than last years, its
food value is materially greater be-
cause the quality this year is more
than ten points higher.
With a wheat crop of about 91s,-
600, 900 bushels which is some 1ao,-
000, 900 more than the average of the
last fve years. and large crops of rye,
buckwheat. potatoes, rice, beans

food crops this year have been
bountiful.

FURLouGHs FOR woRKMEN
Negro Limited Service Craftsmen To
BE Transferred to Construction Df-
vision.

Washington, Nov. S.-The an
nouncement, just made by the
department, that negro limited
vice men would be furloughed 10
work on projects under the supervis-
ion of the construction division of the
army and that 10000 men will in2-
nediately be sent to Camp Jackson
and other camps for this purpose, IS
the most important order yet issued
looking toward rehabilitation OF
American troops. Besides Camp
Jackson, the men are soon to go 10
Camp Wheeler, Camp Sewer and 10
Charleston, where much work is to
be undertaken in the near future.
This means, according to the best
information available here, that not
only will no more men be sent across
seas, but that as quickly as possible
those already in camps will be fur
loughed in the manner indicated un-
til they be officially mustered out OF
the service. There is now no neces-
sity for additional American troops
being sent abroad, it is said here, :nd
no reason why those in camp should
be held with nothing to do while tne
work Of mastering them out is ii
progress.
The second important step lies in
the fact that after construction work
is supplied, labor interests generally
throughout the country will be SINH
larly supplied. This will be Of ma

CANCELLATION OF WAR
CONTRACTS.
Chairman Of War Industries Board
Makes Announcement Of Course to
be Followed.

Washington, Nov S.-Chairmar
Baruch Of the war industries board
authorized the statement tonight that
the coming Of peace will not result in
immediate cancellation Of war supply
contracts, but that contracts Will be
cancelled gradually as requirements
are reduced, making it possible to
lift curtailments and restrictions up
on ordinary industrial activities.
For some time to come said Mr..
Baruch, assuming the armistice will
be signed for period to be deter
mined by the war making agencies
Of the government contracts must
continue on a wide scale. This cir
cumstance applies to considerable
share of present contracts.
"As the demand for raw materials
is lessened by the reduction Of war
requirements and the cancellation OF
war contracts, and when such can
cellations be made, the raw mater
ials so made available will be releas-
ed and allocated by the war indus
tries board, for use in supplying civ
ilian and export demands, which
through curtailment, have been sell
dom checked during the war. In ad-
dition to the ordinary commercial re-
'ouirements there will be a heavy
flow of materials released to supply
the demand for the great recon
structional work required by the Eu-
ropean countries.
cat the same time there is to be
gradual falling Of the restrictions
and curtailments that have been i'm
posed upon industry by the eXigency
of the war so as to allow as promptly
possible free flow of all supplies to
peace channels.
1.-The war industries board viii
continue to exercise its functions un-
til the peace treaty is signed, to the
end that the readjustment Of the mat
ters on which It has been acting
may be made in as orderly manner
as possible.
ga committee named by the pres
ident has been and is now at work to
bring about the best mechanism OF
bringing about readjustments from Q
war to a peace basis. The report OF
the committee may take the form Of
suggested legislation.

ment plans will be to the end of
bringing about necessary changes with
as little dislocation jas possible and

fit as in the past b. Individual in
