Record Harvest Predicted for
Canada.

5 After having made careful sur
vey of the wheat producing area OF
the United States, experts whose bush
ness it is to keep the people informed
on the acreage sown to foodstuffs
state that this year there will be
falling off in the wheat production in
the States, due to considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion of these
experts is that the decrease will be
several hundred million bushels of
wheat less than in previous years,
which according to past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet the
requirements of the demands of the
people of this country.
In Canada, however, the situation
is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
were the prospects SO encouraging for
bumper harvest. 1t is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915. the year of the
record harvest in Canada, when the
to'o' piouuNIioh was oocsoHS.ONV
bushels. Not only is the wheat looking
excellent. but the same is true of oats,
barley and flax, of which a greatly
increased acreage has been sown in
the great grain producing provinces Of
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come at the right time to stimu-
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture in the ground With
the world generally facing shortage
of wheat and continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price Is likely to be
maintained at the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and it is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms In the
early spring have every prospect Of
a crop yield that will give them a re-
turn sufficiently large. after paying
all current expenses, to pay off large
part of their capital investment.
Livestock is in excellent condition
everywhere. the rains having induced
a good growth of grass.-Advertise-

Prices of oil have rapidly advanced,
contracts awarded by the shipping
board and navy during recent months
being about double those of year
ago. Data supplied the federal trade
commission by oil producers recently,
in response to house resolution, sup

creases of prices are inevitable.

ton will be subject for the next con-

WASHINGTON CLUB Is

Together With Philadelphia He
Is Now in Control.
Manager of Nationals Will Be In Alb
solute Power and Is Expected to
Make Many Changes in the
Personnel of Team.

Clark Griffith has purchased the
controlling interest in the Washing
ton baseball club The veteran man
ager, who has piloted the Nationals
since 1912, associated with William
NJ. Richardson, a Philadelphia grain
merchant, obtained approximately
four-fifths of the 10000 shares of
the corporation for 100000. Griffith,
in the reorganization, will become
president and remain as manager for
the time being at least.
The syndicate which made the pur-
chase is expected to make big changes
in the personnel of the team, and ev-
cry effort will be made to strengthen
the clubs nine next season. The new
purchasers, it is said, intend to cut
loose from the policy of economy that
has generally been followed and use
every means possible to produce a
winning combination. In short, 1t is
felt that the city Of Washington will
be put to the test in 1920,
Griffith, who is now in the class or
John McGraw and Connie Mack as
manager owning considerable stock,
has been in baseball since 1887. He
broke in that year in Bloomington, Ill.

old st. Louis Browns, then managed
by Charley Comiskey, who was play
ing first base.
Griffith, one Of the greatest pitchers
the game ever had, was on the coast
in 1892 and the following season went
to the old Chicago White Stockings.
He was one of the stars of that ia
nous outfit until 1901 when he man
aged Comiskey's club in the American
league and won his only pennant with
it.
When the Yankees entered the
league in 1908 Griffith was their first
manager. He was IN New York until
the middle of the season of 1908, when
he and Frank Farrell, then owner of
the club, had a disagreement. The
next year Griffith managed the Cincin-
natl Reds, and he was Garry Herr
mans manager until he was made
manager of the Nationals in 1912
