The Crops.

June was not good month for the crops,
but in spite Of it they are very large. The
present promise for wheat. winter and
spring, is 1851, 100000 bushels, which is
136,000,000 bushels beyond the record
crop of 1915. 1t may prove even greater
than that. In this July report the Kansas
wheat crop is put at substantially the
same figures as month ago. But several
days ago the Kansas Board of Agriculture
gave out its crop estimate, which ran 20
per cent above the Governments report of
June l. Here is gain of about 38,000,-
900 bushels, which is large part of the
estimated deterioration in winter wheat
in June.
We do not assume that the Kansas Board
Of Agriculture is better authority than
the National Department of Agriculture,
but for its own State it is certainly re-
spectacle authority and one upon which
we may base hopes.
The wheat and -four exports of 10 months
were about 228,500,0OO bushels. If they
were proportionately large for May and
June the exports for the fiscal year were
274. 100000 bushels. Julius Barnes esti-
mate of domestic requirements for food
and seed is 570,000,000 bushels This
accounts for 844,O00,000 bushels. The
last crop was 9lS. 100000 bushels, leaving
a carry-over of 74,000000. regardless of
the small amount brought over year ago.
That was certainly not large. but it was
something. The official estimate is IT,
100000 bushels. including -four.
The current crop as estimated by the
Government July is 1851, 100000, and
the carry-over from the last crop is a.
100000, giving a supply for the current
year of 1926. 100000 bushels. Deduct
ing Mr.. Barnes estimate of domestic re-
quirements. with an increase Of 10000
900 bushels for increase Of population. we
would have a surplus for export Of $751;
100000 bushels. without reckoning the
carrying-over year ago. or the possibility
that the Kansas Board of Agriculture is
more nearly right about its own crop than
the Department of Agriculture is.
The last Australian crop was not great
one, but was large enough to afford sub
stantial surplus for export Argentina still
has some surplus These two countries
will have harvests again before another
crop year begins in Europe and America
In Canada they are talking about a harvest
this summer of 3O0,OOO,OOO bushels in
stead of ITO 100000, as last year. Even
if the figures should be much less. there
will be a large surplus for export. and
some of the countries of Western Europe
will reap larger wheat harvests than they
did before the war.
The estimated corn crop is considerably
larger than that of last year. 1t is not so
large as that of two years ago, but very
much Of that was inferior quality. 1t is
also smaller than that of 1915. but it
is larger than the crops of 1915, 1914
and 1918. Agricultural products generally
will be abundant this year.-Philadelphia

MEMPHiAN'S SPEECH
MAY DO GREAT GOOD

The delegation of Memphis negroes
that left the city last week to attend
the national Baptist convention in ses-
sion in Newark, N. j., returned to the
city Saturday. They report that the
attendance was the largest in the his
tory of the convention. The outstand-
ing feature of the meeting, they say,
was the speech of DR.. Sutton Z. Griggs,
delivered to In audience estimated to
number $4,000 people. He spoke from
the subject, THE Present-Day Status
of World Thought on Race Questions"
The speech approached the race guess
ton from a new angle. 1t carried con-
~viction to the entire audience, accord
ing to comments OF the returned dele
cation.
BY unanimous vote the convention,
which represents the constituency Of
more than 5000, 900 members, voiced
its approval Of the position taken by
DR.. Griggs. and promised to use its in
justment into practice. There was quite
a demand for him to carry his message
into all sections OF the country. He
accepted invitations to address several
state bodies in the North at such times
as will not interfere with his duties In
Memphis. \
A representative Of the Southern Bap-
| list convention was present at the
meeting and told Of the purpose Of the
| white Baptists to aid in establishing a
| $500, 900 theological seminary for the ed
| ucation of negro ministers.
The next session of the convention
