VIRGINIA CROP REPORT FOR
AUGUST

Richmond, Aug. 1.-THE yield per
acra of Virginia wheat is the small
est since 1903, according to the Aug
ust report of the U. S. Bureau of
Markets and Crop Estimates. The
average yield per acre is 10 bushels,
compared with 1875 bushels last year,
and 1913 bushels the ten year average.
In 1903 the yield was S4.bushels.
Wheat came through the winter in
excellent shape, the April 1st condi-
ton being % points above the ten
year average, but from this time to
harvest there was a rapid decline. The
poor yield is attributed to the spring
freezes, rust, Hessian fly, and unfavor
able weather during May and just as
the crop was ripening. The highest
yields are reported from the north
ern part of the State, but all coun-
ties have a much smaller yield than
usual. The quality Of the wheat IS
$50 per cent of high medium grade.
while the ten year average is so. The
preliminary estimate of production is
S,750,000 bushels, compared with H.
425,000 bushels last year, and l4,5S4,-
600 bushels the average production
1853. The forecast for the United
States has been reduced 81 million
bushels from the July estimate. The
total crop Of both winter and spring
wheat is now estimated to be I57 nit
lion bushels, against 1877 million bu-
shells last year, and S31 million bus.'
els the average production 19l5-iH
The corn crop improved slightly
during July. The condition is very
good in the Southwest, good in the
northern and western districts, and
below the average in the Central,
Eastern and southern districts. The
crop is very irregular because the
rains have been so local, and fire.
quently in the same county conditions
vary from excellent to very poor.
Generally the crop has an excellent
color, but it is now at the critical
period in it's growth when good rains
arc needed for the full development
of the ear. The condition OF 81 per
cent indicates a production Of 1929,
900 bushels, compared with 50.100,000 |
bushels last year, and 53,524 900 bu-
shells the average production l9lo-l9.
The total crop for the United States
from the August condition of Sl.3 per |
cent is estimated to be 1892 900, bu
shells, compared 3,232,000,000 bushels
last year, and 2,79S 100000 bushels
the average production 1858.
The condition of tobacco is the same
as last month; there has been some
Improvement in many sections that
have had showers, while III others the
crop has deteriorated. The best con
ditions are reported from the south
eastern edge of the belt. The condi-
ton of IS per cent indicates yield
of 57S lbs. per acre, and a total pro-
duction of 95,46S,0 lbs, or Al per
cent les sthan the record crop of $50
million ,bs. last year. On account of
the dec ease in acreage and the poor
condit; N of the crop the production
this Ear will be less than the average !

CALLAUDET OPENS
With c. U. TODAY
First College Baseball Game
OF Season Billed at
BroOkland.

Washington's collegiate baseball
season will open this afternoon
when Catholic University's nine
will hook up with Gallaudet on
the Brooklanders' diamond. The
game will start at 3 o'clock.
The game. while being listed on
the regular schedule OF both col
Ieges, will be more or less in the
nature of a practice affair as
neither team will be allowed to go
at top speed. The Brooklanders
already have one victory to their
credit. a l4-to-2 win over the
Marist Seminary nine Thursday.
which however is nothing to go
crazy over as the seminary nine
can hardly be considered a college
aggregation.
Gallaudet has been practicing for
the last three weeks and are in
great shape physically. Both teams.
however. will take it slow today
and 1t is probable that nearly every
man on the squads will get a
chance to show his class.

VICTOR
In FIRST BATTLE
Red and Blue Nine Trim
Briarley Hall by Score
OF s to 2.

The first baseball battle on Gen.
trail Highs schedule for 1921 turned
out to be an easy victory for that
team yesterday when the Briarley
Hall Military Academy nine was
defeated by an S-to-2 count in the
stadium. The Mount Pleasanters
used three pitchers for three in
nings each and all looed good, con-
sidering 1t was the first game.
Coach Menefee started Boyd Ede-
lin. a newcomer. who throws with
the orthodox method. for the Blue
and White. and sent in a team be
hind him which looked entirely diff
ferent from last seasons nine.
Lemon. Roberts and Buckley were
the only regulars from last season
in their accustomed positions while
Dey played second base, instead of
third. Edelin, exhibited a nice as
sortment of curves and had excel
lent control. He will undoubtedly
improve considerably during tine
season under the tutorship of Coach
Doc" White, who fakes care Of the
Central moundsmen.
Walker took up the slab work in
the fourth inning and until he rs-
tired at the end OF the sixth he
tanned six men. an exceptionally
good job for his first game. The
Cadets nicked him for two hits. oae
of which was a double over the
short right field wall. Brinkman N
went into the battle in the seventh
and showed up well, allowing one
hit. He famed two and had plenty
on the ball.
Today Central stacks up against
the Georgetown Freshmen at the
Hilltop at p. m. Lefty Jermaine
and the other three slabbers will
probably divide the hurting assign
ment. The box score:
