HEAVY HARVESTS
 OF FARM CROPS
 BUREAU FORECAST
Prospective Yield In Most Instances Larger Than Five Year Average
 From 1914 to 1918
By Associated Pres.

Washington, July 9.-Fopecasts of heavy harvests of the country's principal farm crops were made in the July report of the department of agriculture today The prospective yield in most instances $ larger than the average production for the five years, 1914-ls. while tobacco and rice production promises to be the larg- est on record. tobacco with 1l2,o00,00o poands more than the previous largest crop, and rice with II l,00o.0O0 bushels more than ever produced.
 Compared with last years output, this years winter wheat, rye, corn, sweet po- tato, peach and hay crops give indicd- tions of being smaller. Larger crops than last year are forecast for spring wheat, oats, barley, white potatoes, toba scs flax, rice and apples
 Throughout June better weather con ditons increased the prospects of the output of every important crop. The hn- provement was reflected in a forecast of 2S.0oo,00o bushels more in the combined winter and spring wheat crop than esj- mated month ago, 7oo0. .O90 bushels more oats. S,OO0.oO0 bushels more barley and 2.000,000 bushels more rye.

 Wheat of last years crop remaining T.,I., xl ty 4. bushels, or more than 5 per cent of the crop. That, added to this years prcs- pective production, makes available S56,- O00,0 900 bushels of wheat which. according to officials will be ample to meet domes- tic requirements and leave a surplus for exports
 The condition of the corn crop was re- ported not so good as year ago, but the area planted shows an increase of 67l.000 acres. Indications are that the crop will be f3S.000,0D0 bushels smaller than last years, but 190O,0O0 bushels larger than the five-year average.

GERMANS BOW ID
 ALLIED DEMANDS
 FOR DISARMAMENT
Affix Signatures to Prot0- col Drawn In Exact Form Submitted By Allied
 Military Chiefs
By Associated Press

Spa, Belgium, July Seer many today in conformity with the unanimous decision of her cabinet, signed the protocol for her speedy disarmament firmly insisted upon by the al- lies. Chancellor Fehrenbach and Dr. Walter Simons, the foreign minister, affixed their signatures to the document, which was drawn in the exact form submitted by Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Will son, the allied military chiefs.
 The signature was preceded by a no- tification from Dr. simons on behalf of his government, that in signing the pro- toeol Germany did not give her consent to further occupation of German terri tory which could only be given by the Reichstag. Premier Lloyd George said he quite understood that point of view The question of further occupations in the event of Germany, not observing the stipulations of the treaty and protocol. however, was one for the allies to de- termine and not for the German parla- ment, he declared.
 BOWS ARE RETURNED
 The protocol was signed in a small room adjoining the conference chamber Chancellor /tfehrenbach and Dr, Sim ons signed first After laying down the | as though saving. ''Well, that disagree able business is finished.1
 MT. Lloyd George bowed courteously in return. Herr Gessler, minister of de- fense, was not present. but he voted earlier in the German cabinet council for signing the protocol. It is now gem erally accepted that the conference will proceed rapidly with other business on it's programme, Asked by M Delacroix. the Belgian premier, at the opening of the morning session. what reply the German delegates had to make regard ing the protocol, pr. Simons declared;
 Tho German delegation has decided to sign. adding under the German constitution we have no power to alter the treaty and recognize that the pro tocol relates merely to it's execution and grants the Germans certain delays On the other hand the allied threat to ec- cupy the Ruhr or other German terri tory in case of non-fulflllmeut or ths conditions really means alteration in fa- yor of the allies The Germ1n delesa- ton can find no clause in the treaty requiring Germany to consent to such oe- cupation except in the casa of non-eA- ecution of the reparatons Clauses.
 LLOYD GEORGE PLEASED
 After a shorf adiournnrnt PfpnHer Lloyd George took the floor and said;
 'I am very glad the German delesa- tion has decided to sign the protocol It would have been disastrous If the conference had been broken off.
 The premier then pointed out that ths protocol contained real concessions to Germany, saying it gave her more time f., sign and allowed her certain increases in the number of officers and armament notably machine guns.
 He declared;
