last year, the Department of Agricul-
ture announced today. Rye produc-
rion for sixteen countries is placed at
101 per cent Of production for the
same countries in 1921, but only 81
per cent of the average yield for
1909-13. Production in the United
States and Canada Is 1853 per cent of
the 1921 crop. while production in
European countries Is only S3 per
cent.

wheat crop is reported good in Ar

in Italy, Hungary and Jugoslavia.
while September rains retarded the
work very much in England and
Czechoslovakia. and also to some ex-
tent in France. Better progress is

has been retarded by poor weather
conditions.

PROBLEM TOAVERT
RUIN OF GERMANY
international Financial Con-

Situation.
By GEORGE WHITE.

Special Cable to The Star and Chicaso la
News.
BERLIN October 2s.-How ca2
Germany be saved from absolu,,
financial ruin?
This is the question of the day a!tg
not only Germany's best brains. bur
also the financial experts of othe.
countries are seeking to find the an
swer Beginning early next week, the
reparations commission will hold d
prolonged session in Berlin, and al
the same time an International fnan-
cial conference will be held here l."
discuss the problem Of stabilizing tn
German mark.
Labor Unions UIttmatum.
Though well aware of these meet
ings. the federation Of labor unions
has chosen this time to deliver to tin"
government an ultimatum demandins
all wages to paid in gold marks-thai
! is to say, according to the days rate
Of exchange. The well informed
Koelnische Zeitung says: This would
mean that the reichsbank would have
10 turn out nNe times as nuCn paptI
/, money as 1t does now. or, in otheo
words. between 100 billion and 10"
billion paper marks daily
In allied circles in Berlin the opin-
ion is that the mark cannot be stabii-
lied. An attache ut the French en-
bassy said:
1.-THE trouble with the German go,
| ernment is that il is afraid to fac
the crisis. Why does il not suddenly
stop issuing paper money. to see wfst
would happen? Germany's position is
already SO bad that it cannot possibiY
get much worse"
Sound Advice Lacking.
Though the country's leading busi
ness men, such as Hugo SHINES ana
August Thyssen. have been called
upon to offer suggestions in this des-
perate situation. no sound advice has
been Forthcoming. Both SHINES and
Thyssen suggested twelve-hour
working day in all the industries as
the only solution. but the labor unions
not only refuse to consider any propo-
