CROP OUTLOOK Is
LITTLE CHANGED
Mid-June Prospect Practically
the Same as at First Of
This Month.
CAR SHORTAGE Is SERIOUS
Winter Wheat Yield May Be
Under 9OO,0OO,0OO Bushels
Visible Declines.

The crop outlook of the middle of June
appears to be practically unchanged from
that Of June 1. There is possible some
further loss In the condition of winter
wheat, and the final outturn Of the crop
may be under 900, 00o. 900 bushels. In
the Southwest 1t is generally believed
that there is certain to be the equivalent
Of two crops, and the question Of hand
ling and moving that crop is a serious
one. Unless the facilities are available
for moving the wheat very promptly It is
feared that there will be a great deal Of
damage. due to the fact that the coun-
try's facilities do not permit caring for
more than half of the crop that will be
raised At the conference which has
been going on for the last two days
Southwestern men made the point that
unless cars were furnished the loses in
the Southwest might easily be rs per
cent. of the crop.
Cutting In the very early fields has ad-
vanced as far North as southern Okla
homa, but owing to rains the delay has
been material in Texas. and 1t is not ex-
pected that the wheat will move until
the latter part Of this month. In Cali
moving freely. The first cars Of new
wheat from the Imperial Valley moved
during the first week in May. The quail
ity of the wheat there 10 unusually fine
and the crop unusually large.
Reports from the American Northwest
do not point to any material change in
condition. There is always a material
falling off In the promise OF the crop in
June compared with that Of June 1. In
the Canadian Northwest conditions have
not been as favorable as in the American
Northwest. and already there are a
good many complaints of damage.
Whether this damage Is serious or not
cannot be told. but the position Is be-
lieved to be less favorable than on June
I, when private crop estimates claimed
the possibility OF 900. 000, 900 bushels. On
the basis OF an average yield In the Ca
madam and American Northwest the
total crop promise this year would be
about 1,536, 100000 bdshels for North
America, against i,419,000.000 bushels
In 1915. In 1915 there was a large carry
over in the United States and fair
carry over in Canada. This year the
carry over probably will be very small.
The Grain Corporation shows that the
visible supply of wheat in the past four
weeks has decreased 100000 bushels,
compared with a decrease of less than
100000 bushels in the same time of
last year. At the present rate Of de-
crease. 1t is possible that the carry over
Of old wheat, outside Of the farms. this
year will not be more than $4,000. 900
bushels, against 100000 bushels last
year. II the export commitments be
taken care OF. the shipments and the
milling should use up more than $4,000
900 bushels out Of the 65. 900. 900 bushels
on hand.

Corn Market Is strengthened.

CHICAGO, June 12.-Demand for corn
broadened out to an unusual extent to-
day owing largely to unfavorable crop
conditions and talk of falling of in rural
consignments. The market closed strong.
Sh to 41ac. net higher. with July $1.71&
to $1.71T. and September $1.64% TO
sl.65. Oats gained IN to 2Sc.. and
provisions 37c. to $1.35.
Highest prices of this season we're
reached in corn by the July delivery,
which, with other months. closed at vir-
tually the top level of the day. Excess
sive moisture and predictions Of more to
follow had led TO many bullish estimates
on domestic crop losses. At the same
time serious results from drought In
France and Great Britain attracted much
notice. Steep fresh upturns in the value
OF hogs tended further to stimulate buy
ing of corn, a disposition of which. to-
ward the last, was increased greatly on
account of advices that shipments from
first hands next week would undergo a
big cut. About the only important SELL
ing was to realize profits.
The oats trade was much enlarged and
sentiment bullish. Adverse crop condi-
lions appeared to be chiefly responsible.
Lard scared to a new top record price
and carried other provisions skyward.

on suffrage for the District in your
paper.
Yours for the Vote.
JOSEPH D. KAUFMAN.
Hon. Harold Knutson,
Washington, d. C.
Dear Sir-I have read with interest
your comments in The Washington
Herald. on the question of suffrage
for the District of Columbia. + see
that your mind is open on the sub
jeet, despite the fact that YOU seem
misinformed as to the rights we are
after.
AS to the half and-half plan. this
has only to do with local self-gov-
ernment and Is distinctly separate
issue from national representa- ton,
The half-and-half plan Is the arrange
ment Of Congress clearly because the
Congress realizes that the people of
the District should not be burdened
with the fuli cost Of maintaining the
Capital OF the Nation. where great
part Of the physical holdings are In
the hands OF the government, which
hand Is not taxed. In return for this
the Congress has not only half con-
troll OF the District. but full control.
This Is certainly equitable, as far as
the government is concerned.
NOW as to the question of repre-
sentation In Congress: this claim Is
based on the ground OF our bearing

1t was through accident that George
A. Emmons became citizen of
washington-and he has never regret
ted it since.
He was on his way to see New

he was swerved from his purpose by
q sudden desire to visit the National

ton as clerk with Woodward &
Lothrop's department store. Mean
while he attended business night
school. preparing a way for him to
accept a bookkeeping job with Hutch
inson >& Mccarthy, plumbers. where
he remained seven years.
About this time he remarked to one
of his friends that nothing would
please him better than to own Will
lam Wagner's hardware store at 2c7
Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
1t was some time later before his
circumstances were such that he ac-
tually could fulfill his desire, but
he eventually bought out the bust
ness and has made a success of IT
from the start.
Mr.. Emmons has a hobby which
occupies all his spare time 1t is trap
shooting and cunning. He Is a MEM
ber of the Analostan Gun Club, and
is rated as a good shot
He was the principal promoter of
