PRESIDENT
CONSIDERS
CALL | n c
CONGRESS
Wilson May Start Session Co.
ing While on Other Side
and Not Return Till
End OF June.

Paris, April 10.-While the ses-
sions of the council of four are oc-
cupying the chief attention of Pres
ident Wilson yet, those close TO
the president who have seen him in
recent days say he is giving serious
consideration to the condition Of
public affairs in the United States,
particularly the situation created by
the failure Of the appropriation bills
and the necessity of calling an extra
session of congress.
It is known that some Of the pres
ident's advisers are of the opinion
that call should be issued at very
early day, SO as to permit the new
congress to assemble in perfect Or
ganization by June !, and complete
the appropriate bills before the
end of the fiscal year. Should this
prevail, it would require an early
call in order to permit the usual
period for assembling, but it is not
known that it will prevail, for while
the president is listening to these
councils, he has given no intimation
of the course he intends to pursue.
Several new factors have recently
entered into the consideration of
this subject here. One is the Ge-
parture of the military committee
of the new congress for Europe and
and it is foreseen that the committee,
which is chiefly interested in the
appropriation bills, cannot make the
visit and get back much before June.
New Bills Necessary.
Another phase is the conclusion
that the usual method of extending
appropriations beyond June 80, by
concurrent resolution of congress.
would not suffice in the present
case, as conditions are SO entirely
changed from a war to a peace basis
that the former appropriations are
not applicable to the present con-
ditions. This, it is believed, will
make necessary entirely new appro-
priation bills, requiring considerable
time for their detailed elaboration.
The fact that the United States
transport George Washington has
been ordered to proceed to Brest has
given rise to the suggestion that it
was the situation at home, rather
than in Europe, which might require
the early return of President Wilson
e America. But, according to the
view of those in the confidence Of
the president, his physical presence
in Washington is not essential to the
meeting of congress or until the end
of June, when the appropriation bills
will be ready for his signature. 1t
is contended that the call for an ex-
ira session can be issued here and
the work of the new congress can
proceed without the presidents at
tendance.
Wilson Creates PRECEDENT.
1t is pointed out that no president
had personally appeared before con-
gress until President Wilson created
the new departure. and it is said he
could revert te the custom of his
predecessors in issuing calls and
transmitting messages. without his
personal presence.
The final decision depends largely
on the progress of the peace con-
ference, as the situations at Wash

BIGGEST WINTER
WHEAT CROP IN
STATES HISTORY
Crop Expected to Be 70,7W,-
600 Bushels Which, at So
Per BusheI, Would Bring
$141,OOO, 900.

Lincoln. Neb., May o.-(SpeciaD.
Winter wheat improved during
the past month and present chances
for record production~are excel
lent. The condition of l0l per cent
compared to 81 per cent last
month indicates a production of TO-
100000 bushels, which is more than
twice the production last year. AT
$500 bushel this will add $l4l 400,
600 to the wealth of Nebraska farm
ers. This is the latest estimate of
A. E. Anderson of the bureau of
crop estimates and E. R. DaIielson,
secretary of the Nebraska board of
agriculture.
The abandonment is practically
negligible this year. This is an un-
usual record in view of the extreme
ly adverse conditions until the Sec
ond week of last October, and can
be accounted for by a sufficient
moisture supply and a minimum of
low temperature since that time.
Cool, wet weather this spring has
caused exceptional stooling. Some
fear has been expressed that the
thick stand may induce rust or that
it may lodge or dry out. Wheat is
a little in advance of the usual,
which decreases the chance for rust.
Plenty of rain for another month
will almost settle its moisture re-
quirements as dry weather is prefer
able for wheat during the three
weeks preceding harvest. While
some lodging may be expected from
the large, rank growth, the present
Omaha daily bee., 1919-05-10

condition is preferable to the small,
spindling growth produced by & dry,
unfavorable season. Last years
harvests were very light and this
should leave an abundant supply of
available plant food for the heavy
stand of wheat. In view of this,
there is little room at present for
the pessimists.
100000 Bushels Promised.
The condition of winter wheat for
the United States is 1905 per cent
compared to 998 per cent a month
ago. This promises a production
of approximately 900,000,000 bushels
compared to 55S,449.000 bushels the
final estimate last year.
The condition of rye is 102 per
cent which indicates a production of
$4,000 bushels. The condition of
rye for the United States is o5.3 per
cent.
The preliminary estimate of all
tame hay is 1859, 900 acres. The in
crease in acreage is due largely to
the ever increasing acreage of alfal-
ia, having probably slightly lower
acreage than Kansas. The possible
harvest of wild hay may be 2,717,-
600, acres. This may vary consid-
able according to conditions. The
present condition of all hay is ex-
cellent. Alfalfa especially is farther
advanced than usual for this date.
Only 6 per cent of last years crop
of all hay remains on farms COM
pared to Is per cent year ago. The
condition of pastures is very good.
Spring Flowing Complete.
About S. per cent of the blowing
for spring planting was completed
May |. 1t was delayed ty contin-
ued rains. Approximately 4 per
cent of the spring planting and
sowing was done by May l. The
seeding of oats and spring wheat
was delayed BY numerous rains.
The mortality of live stock for
the past year was about the aver
age, except in the case of swine
where it was lower. The past whit
er was very favorable for livestock.
Shortage of feed reduced the vital
ity of the stock in some sections of
the state. The general health of all
live stock has been good.
In general farm conditions are very
good. Aside from the delay of farm
work by the numerous rains, most
indicate that farmers are
we'll pleased with the prospects.
With large reserve supply of Sub
soil moisture there is less to worry
about than last spring when the

Omaha Street Railway
Company Applies for
an Increase in Fares

Lincoln. May 9.-Claiming that
the company has spent its $l,500,OO0
depreciation fund for the purpose of
extending its lines and that it has
nothing left to build up its equip
ment, the Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway company appeared
in supreme court today and through
its attorney, J. L. Webster, asked
for relief.
The company says that its reve-
nues are not sufficient to bring in
funds to run the lines and that it is
necessary to have an increase in
fares to meet the emergency. There
is no money to pay interest or divi-
dends and the limit has been reach
ed in the issuance of bonds. 1t is
simply a proposition to get more
revenue to meet conditions. the
company says.
