Wonderful Persian Shawl.

Mrs. Bernard e. Grace, collector
Of st. Louis, submitted a rare Per-
sian shawl at the New York Metropol-
ttan museum. The owner had traced
its history back 1888 years. The shawl
is eleven feet by four feet, worked in
long flowing designs Of the palm leaf
and the River Of Life with the stories
Of the mosques. The predominating
cclors are mellowed garnets and
brown, with alternating sheens Of steel
gray and rusty brown. A Washington
expert to whom the shawl was shown
said its makeup probably represented
the lifetime Of the weavefs.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Produc
! tion Of 1919 wheat crop of 1000,
600 bushels, was forecast today by
the United States bureaN of crops
estimates.
This yield was Indicated by the
average condition of winter wheat on
+, April /, which was 99.S percent OF
normal against 1876 year ago, 63.4
two years ago and 1928 average for
the past ten years.
The production forecast is an In
crease of 278,551.000 over the esti-
mated production of last year of $685.
$4,000 bushels.
The crop two years ago was 412,-
901 900 bushels.
Winter wheat showed an increase
in condition from December l, 1918,
of 1.2 points as compared with an
average decline in the past ten years
of So points.
The average condition of rye on
/ April was 900 percent of normal
! against 85.8 year ago, 86 percent
two years ago and 88.6 the past ten
years average.
An official statement by the crop
reporting board follows:
"The condition Of winter wheat in
the United States April /, is the
highest Of record and on the largest
acreage ever planted In this country.
The condition improved during the
winter-an unusual occurrence-due
to the favorable winter weather, par
ticularly to the absence Of alternate
freezing and thaw1ng which appears
also to have resulted in minimum
of winter killing.
IA striking feature Of the present
situation is uniformly good condition
in practically all important wheat
producing states, ranging from lO4
in Ohio down to SO in North Caro-
lima, among the 100000 acres Or
more in crop. The lowest figure from
any state was SO in Wisconsin.

The present moisture conditions
throughout the country. with unim-
portant local exceptions, are ex-
tremely favorable.
"The condition Of the crop is
higher than has been reported on any
April / since 1882. The indicated
yield of 837 100000 bushels is nearly
double the yearly average production
in this country for the five years
before the war. 1t Is also neaiiy so
percent larger than the production
during the war years 1914 to 1918.
The indicated yield is higher in
actual production than any year with
the exception Of 1914, when the yield
averaged 1876 bushels per acre, on an
estimated condition of 95.6 percent.

CHICAGO, April S.-The govern
ment's estimate of a bumper wheat
crop for 1919 will have no immediate
effect in the price of bread, according
to grain experts here today. The
price Of wheat, they pointed out, has

administration grain corporation alone
can regulate or effect any change in
prices.
"The estimates OF s7,oo0,0o0 bush

ed," said B. M. Snow, Of Bartlett

wheat and food conditions will now
