Wheat and Corn Projects

The wheat crop IN this state is
threshing out much better than was
expected. For the unusually heavy
yield as compared to the amount Of
straw, farmers have TO thank the
remarkably favorable weather dur
ing the last few weeks before har-
vest while the grain was forming.
Because there have been unexpected
decreases in parts of Kansas and
Nebraska the national outlook for
the wheat crop is no larger than
seemed likely month ago, and
hence the increase in Ohio will not
cause a drop in the price. This
means that the added bushels are al
most a clear gain for the Ohio farm
er. 1t is now estimated that the
Ohio wheat crop will amount to 44,-
G75,00 bushels, according to statis-
tician West Of the State Federal
Crop Reporting Service.
Corn prospects have increased
more than 10 percent during the
past month, so that if the crop yields
according to present indications the
production for the state should be
around III 900 900 bushels.

OIL POLLUTION
VOTE IN SIGHT
Move by AppIeby to Have Bill
Considered by Congress
Before Adjournment
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Havins
succeeded in having the Frelinghuy-
sen-Appleby anti oil-pollution bill
reported out to the House, Represen-
tative Appleby of Asbury Park, N. J.
Is now taking the fight to the rules
committee in an endeavor to have
the bill brought UP for consideration
on the floor before congress adjourns
next month.
In spite Of the failure of the river
and harbor committee to include in
! the bill the amendments desired by
the Massachusetts, delegation, who
we're opposed to the measure in its
original form, 1t is expected that the
bill will find sufficient support to put
it through. Amendments may be
offered in the House, or a substitute
bill introduced; but in any case II
seems highly probable that the pol
luton Of coastal waters will be stop
ped.
The action OF the committee or
HI oil pollution measure, which is
offered as ar amendment to the river
and harbor act of 1899, followed i'm
mediately on the receipt of a letter
from Brigadier General Harry Tay-
lor. assistant chief of engineers, to
Representative w. F. Clouse, OF
Tennessee, who had been appointed
as a subcommittee to prepare the
bill for final action by the full COM
mittee.
In this letter General Taylor wrote
that in his opinion the amendment
OF the existing law so "a to prevent
the discharge of oil into navigable
waters was highly desirable.
Secretary Weeks some time ago
wrote Chairman Dempsey of the riv-
ers and harbors committee, with re-
gard to the attitude of the War De-
partment on the proposed legislation.
In part, the secretary said:
The great Importance of having
an adequate legal provision for deal
ing with the growing menace of oil
pollution in the navigable waters of
the United States generally has been
recognized by this department for
some years, but it has been assum-
ed by the department that the pro-
visions of Section Is of the river
GENTLY broad to include the dis
charge of oil, although the question
has not been definitely determined
~judtcially.
at Is thought that the amendment
OF Section IS so as to make it apply
specifically to oil in any form which
may be discharged or deposited in
navigable waters may be of mater
ial assistance in prohibiting the in
furious practices, and is very desir-
able. Such an amendment has, in
fact, been recommended by this de-
partment several times in the past
three years"
In spite of the contention OF OPP
ponents OF the oil bill that the poll
luton evil was provided for by ex-
isting law, a ruling made by Judge
D. Lawrence Groner. OF the United
States court of the eastern district
Of Virginia. in a cas- which came
up last year, expressly stated that
existing law did not come within the
provisions OF the law of 1899.
In deciding this case, Judge Gro
ner said, "While it seems to me that
congress would have power to pro-
vide against the pollution Of navig-
able waters by the depositing of oil
in them, it has not done So"
