TEXAS CROP WILL NET
FARMERS MILLIONS

Dallas, Texas, June 4.-The two mil
lion acres of Texas land sown in wheat
last autumn are expected to produce
a crop of 10000, 900 bushels, five
times larger than any previous Tex
as wheat crop. The Texas growers,
guaranteed a price of 1928 a bushel,
figure a total return of $91 ,O00, 900
in round figures, with a $40, 600, 900
reduction as the approximate cost of
production.
Districts of west Texas and the Pan
handle belt are recruiting a huge ar
my for harvesting the crop within
the next 60 days. For the first time
in thre years the drouth-stricken sec
tions of west Texas have use for reap
ers.
The reapers have already started
on the southern edge of the grain belt
and will continue moving north, coun-
ty by county and state by state, until
they reach Canada next fall.
Many districts never before used fol
growing wheat were sown last fall
including tracts that formerly grew
cotton.
Wheat statisticians have figured
that the Texas crop, reduced to breae
would make 1920, 900 900 %loaves, o.
II 1000, OOO, 900 sandwiches.

ASSERTS RELIGION is

Theological seminary, New York, who
delivered the convention sermon on
"The mistaken Christ" g.
"Many men have reached the place
where they will not listen to light

"They cannot tolerate hearing some
one singing Gods in his heaven, alPs

LAST FOOD VESSEL UNDER
IT. s. COTROL SAILS sc

Paris, June 4.-The last food ship
under direction of the American food
control organization will leave Amer
lea late in June, unless there should
be a decided change in world affairs
and some new legislation is passed by
congress, it was indicated here today.
No law is now in existence author
izing the participation of the United
States in food control activities after
the signing of the peace treaty. Amer
lean food experts believe it desirable
that the financing of food transactions
should be handled by bankers and that
dealings should be permitted through
regular channels.
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the
i%nter-allied food commission, contends
that normal trading should be estab-
lished throughout the world and insists
that attempts to control prices will
tend to stifle production.
All the important governments of
the world with the exception of that
of Argentina having guaranteed prices
of wheat to farmers, and all the Eu-
ropean governments having standard
lied the bread supply, it is consider
ed probable here that m in
wheat will remain in government
hands next year and there will be lit
tie private trading. The American
members of the supreme economic
council, however, believe there is no
necessity of continuing centralized
control of the distribution in Europe.
The question of food control after
peace has been signed, has been dis
cussed by the economic council, Her.
bert C. Hoover and the other members
opposing control taking, the view that,
as there will be no food shortage af-
ter the next harvest, food control
as it now stands is unnecessary. Mr..
Hoover contends that normal trading
should be re-established throughout
the world, as no guarantees exist for
other commodities and that if attempts
are made to control prices in other
commodities, production will be stifled
and a shortage created.

berger told him, would earn the graf
titude of the fatherland.
Nikolaievitch Only Man.
Nayhaus told Erzberger that Mix
~olaievitch was the only mar through
whom the plan might be accomplish
ed, and that the only person who was
not afraid of the grand duke was a
beautiful former Russian grand duch-
ess, now a M~ontenegrin princess. 1t
would be necessary, however, to gain
the assent and confidence Of the Mon
tenegrin prince, who at the time was
in Strengthened circumstances:
The deposition continues that Nay
haus suggested the prince could be
won over for SIS, 600, 1000 and that Err
berger replied that money was no OBJ
ject, that $4,000, 900 would be forth
coming if needed. Erzberger said he
pointed out to Nayhaus that the gov
eminent must not be known in con-
n%ection with the negotiations and that
some one would have to 60 to Monte
negro. Count Nayhaus volunteered
to make the attempt.
Nayhaus planned, according to Err
berger's testimony, to land at a quiet
spot on the Montenegrin coast from
an Austrian torpedo boat, or to ente'
the country under a false name by
way Of Italy.

to understand the common or garden

and to live with them. Mr.. Wilson,
with all his a~ffectation of undying

one thing about those he calls "the

country they have a lot of votes. This

PERMITS WILL Be USED
TO MOVE WHEAT CROP
Rail Administration Decides on Plan
to Handle One of the Largest
Crops in History of Country.

Washington, May 27.-Permits for
the shipment of grain from interior
markets will be used by the railroad
administration this year to control
the movement Of the mammoth har-
vest which is beginning.
Problems involved in the transpor-
tation Of 1900, 900 900 bushels Of
wheat, the yield estimated by the de-
partment of agriculture, have been
under consideration by Director Cen
eral Hines.
1t was apparent that unless some
method of restriction was devised
congestion, which might paralyze all
transportation facilities, was possible
when the farmers, eager to market
wheat quickly under the standard
price guarantee, began to pour the
crop onto the market.
Regarded eBst Solution.
After consultation with leading
grain men in the west and officials of
the food administrations grain cor
poration, the director general decided
that a permit system similar to that
in effect during the freight conges-
ton last year would be the best So
luton of the problem.
Machinery for operation of the sys-
tenn is being worked out at the rail-
road administration. Grain control
committees will be instituted at each
market and perhaps shipping zones
established. Although the harvest al
ready has started on the southern edge
of the wheat belt, the system will no
be put into use until threshing begins
next month in the middle west.
Cites Heavy Grain Flow.
Gas illustrating the necessity Of
regulating transportation Of this ton
nage," Director Hines said, "the fol
lowing facts are interesting: For the
nine months of the crop year July 81
1918, to May 1, 1919, there passee
through the grain handling facilities
of the country-elevators and mills
a total of 3,44O,236,OOO bushels of al
grains, although the highest point O.
all grain storage at any n time wa
48O, 100000 bushels. That is, in MIN
months the flow of grain was sever
times the quantity which accumulat
ed in storage at the highest point dur
ing that period. This is a direct illus
tration of the necessity of keeping
the grain handling facilities of tn
country liquid, to avoid the distres
to all interests that would follow tn
blocking of the flow of this grain.
"It is the intention to keep tn
public fully informed to the plans TO
the transportation of the enormou
grain crop, and through the cooper
alton of all interests concerned j
should be possible to meet what 9th
erwise might prove a difficult situa
ton"
