this year, according to the April /
outlook forecasted in the April crop
report issued by julius H. Jacobson,
Idaho statistician for the United
States department of agriculture
This is on the assumption of average
abandonment of acreage and average
influences on the crop until harvest.
The report states that the 1922 crop
totaled S,65S,OOO bushels and 1882
600 bushels were harvested in 1921.
Acreage abandonment due to winter
killing is not estimated until May 1,
each year. From 1915 to 1922, the
average has been 5.S per cent.
1t was lowest in 1919 when two per
cent of the planted area was aban-
doned, and higest in 1917 and 1920,
when 10 per cent of the acreage failed
to survive winter conditions.

MARRY YOUNG AND
 LIVE A CENTURY
Boy Scouts Are Gigsn Tips on
 How to Be 100 Years Old

Chicago, July 17.--Ore who desires to live 100 years should marry early, refrain from indoor dancing. should not be college athlete and be neither rich nor poor, according to an ad- dress made here tonight by Albert NJ, Johnson, president Of the National Life Insurance company, before sev- eral hundred boy scouts. Mir. John son said these maXims were reached by his company following statistical computation of results from a survey on longevity under modern conditions.
 The long list of "donts" which MT. Johnson said the survey suggested in order to attain this age contained a few 'do's," chief among which was religion in a true way" Mild ex- ercise daily and straight neck" in walking, were others.
 Five Score Years
 "Our statistics show, when compiled and averaged, that to reach five score years one should marry early, be neither rich nor poor, should not be a professional or college athlete or an actor, should refrain from indoor dancing and never dring intoxicating liquors," MT. Johnson said. Illus bands, we find, live longer than bache- lors because of their more regular habits. Stage people are handicapped by long and hard hours. Heart strain is too common in the athlete.
 Moderate Incomes
 "Persons earning between S2,000 and s6,o00 a year live longer. This probably is due to the fact that mod crate incomes do not give a person enough for dissipation but are ade- quate for comfort and sensible living
 Be religious in true way, Re- ligious people are happier as rule and going to church tends to make them regular in their habits. Do not drink liquor and do not smoke, If you n,ust, until yod are beyond 2l years Uf age. One of the most emphatic results of our sIlvey was the evil dc1.ce that the practlces cannot be fn- dulged in ten.pc"a' ely by enough peo-

loans for the improvements, but it was not until a few weeks ago that hope developed for other sources of revenue. ...
 It is admitted by university officials that should a producing oil field be opened on the schools lands in West Texas it probably would be one of the richest schools in the nation. Reports of 8 gusher in Reagan county were made recently, but it remains for the field to be proven.
 No Facts On Income
 University officials are reluctant to express themselves regarding the probable income of the school from the field. On returning from an in- spection of the Santa Rita well which has caused much discussion, Dr. J. A. udden, head of the university geo. logy department, declared that pros- poets are favorable for producer, all though he would not hazard guess as to the value of the field. All per- mits on the university block have been taken up as a result of the Santa Rita prospects,

AIRPLANE IS BEST
 DEFENSE FROM AIR
Experts Agree They Are Better
 Than Anti.Aircraft Guns

Washington. July l7.---whils post war development of anti-aircraft weapons has been satisfactory in the opinion of American military experts. recent game-board experience at the Army War college served to stress sharply the fact that airplanes them selves will in future form the chief defense against hostile aircraft.
 In the course of the war game played at the college hers as the con cluding work of the class just grad uated, a combined army and navy de- fense problem was set in which a hostile" fleet made a surprise attack on the entrance of Delaware Bay for the purpose of landing an enemy military force of 100000 men. When word of the impending fleet attack reached the Blue" or defending com mander his forces were 50 disposed that he was compelled to rely on air. craft to repel the attempted landing and rush a theoretical fleet of bomb- CTS to the scene. The Blue" aircraft resources were not sufficient to pro- vide also an adequate fleet of combat planes to accompany and protect the bombers in their mission against the enemy fleet.
 The enemy naval command, how ever. had anticipated an aircraft de- fense and came in with all available combat planes crowded on the naval airpiane carriers to be sent out on the approach to shore and beat off the defending, bombers. ... -.
 War college umpires, after careful consideration of all elements in the game at this stage, were compelled to award victory to the "enemy' air fleet because of the lack Of fighting planes to protect the defending bombing squadrons. It was held that the mobbers would certainly have been brought down or driven off by the enemy" combat planes and the um- pires ruled that the enemy landing had been accomplished.
 This result conformed with expecta- tions of army officers who have studied out the probabilities, of future naval and land engagements. The war game, however, was not of a nature to serve as any test of the various types of land defenses against air craft developed since the warsto sup plcment fighting air squadrons in pro. lection of cities or camps against hos tile bombers.

SCARS OF BATTLE
 BEGIN ID VANISH
France Making a Valiant Effort
 to Restore RaVaeeS of War

London, July 17.---France of today like the France of 1871, is making 8 magnificent effort ry hard work tc i-g to an official report of the Brit ish Department of Overseas Trade The raport is the work of the Gem n.ercIal Counsellor of the British cnl. bassy in Paris, J. R. Cahaill, and is painstaking and exhaustive. The general conclusions of the report are:
 The present economic position oi France Is strong.
 Population Employed
 Her industrial population is fully employed, and her, output in most fields of production is only limited by shortage of man-power.
 The industrial reconstruction of the devastated areas is fast approach ing completion. st.
 The report states that the destroyed or damaged coal mines are increas- ing their output with improved tech nical equipment The great woolen and cotton works are kept going to the full extent of the labor at their disposal, The great agricultural areas of wheat and beet root, the chief crops of northern France, will soon approximate the pre-war areas.
 Making Improvements
 Ports.a waterways, railways, and roads have been and are being im- proved. Water power, the report con- tinues, is being systematically turned to account. New resources in ores, coal, potash and oil have been de- veloped. There has been advance in industrial organization in a marked fashion in the chemical, electrical, engineering, aluminium and other industries, discernible through French industry as a whole, French foreign trade in weight has surpassed pre-war figures.
 Fine Results Obtained
 Fine results have been obtained by hard work in the devastated regions. Of S,166ss4 devastated acres, 7,4E.- 297 have been cleared of projectiles, trench work and barbed wire; 1s,s20 factories have been rebuilt out, of 22,- 16o. Of nearly 4,a41.oo acres of de- agricultural land, more than l, 1,235,000 have been put under the plough.
 The main railway system has been repaired, nearly all the waterways have been made navigable, and of the 36,45o miles of devastated roads. 19,-
