LARGEST WHEAT
CROP IN 8 YEARS
Corn Crop Is Short 587 .O00,.
900 Bushels From Last
Years Yield.

westinghouse corn crop of 2,459,-
100000 bushels, the smallest since
1903 with the exception of 1913, the
largest wheat crop, S56,000,0OO bush
els, in three years and close to the
average, and an oat crop of 100000
600 bushels, the best since 1918, were
the outstanding features of the gov
eminent crop report given out here.
An aggregate yield of 500, 100000
bushels for the five grains-wheat,
corn, oats, rye and barley-is only
100000 bushels less than last months
returns, but 100000 bushels short
of the final yields in 1923. OF small
grains there is an aggregate of 1882,
100000 bushels, an increase of 50,000,-
600 bushels for the month, mainly in
wheat and oats, and an increase of
2S5,000,000 bushels over last years
harvest.
Spring Wheat increased.
A feature of the crop report was
the increase of 100000 bushels in
spring wheat, with yield of 266,0OO,-
600 bushels, one of the largest in re-
cent years, gaining 100000 bushels
over last year and only 100000 BUSH
els short of the five-year average. In
the total wheat crop there are $780,
100000 bushels, or 100000 bushels
more than last month, 100000 BUSH
els in excess of last year, and only
26,O00,00O bushels short of the five
year average.
Minnesota, Montana and the Dako-
tas have 224,00000O bushels Of spring
wheat, or 100000 bushels more
than a month ago and 100000 BUSH
els in excess Of last year. North Da-
kota has raised one of the largest
crops for that state, 115,000,000 bush
els, while last year it only had 59,000,-
600 bushels
Thls is putting the farmers in that
state in better condition than for sew
eral years, as the yield per acre is
about double that of 1923. The Unit
ed States is most fortunate in having
a large wheat crop, as it will be need
ed abroad owing to the shortage in
Canada of nearly 200,000000 bushels,
and so far it is estimated that 1O0-
100000 bushels or more have been
sold for export.
Corn Crop Short 537 100000 Bushels.
Cold weather and early frosts cut
down the corn crop to 2,459, 900 900
bushels, a drop Of 100000 bushels
from the September returns and 587,.
100000 bushels from last years har-
vest. There is also a loss of AGO.
oOO'OOO bushels from the five-year av-
erage.
An oat crop of 1,5O9,OOO,OOO bushels
Is 2O9,OOO00O bushels in excess of
last year. Flax crop is the best in
many years. White potatoes are a
good crop in excess of the average.
The tame hay crop, 95,1O0,O0O tons,
is 100000 tons greater than last
wear

FRS ENDS LONG
FLIGHT OVER SEA
Giant Dirigible Arrives at
Lakehurst, N. j., From
Germany.

A1rdrOme, LakehurSt, N. 1.-The
giant Zeppelin airship ZR-3 ended its
long flight across the Atlantic ocean
from Germany on Wednesday. Sew
eral airplanes from Mitchell escorted
the giant dirigible to its mooring mast
here.
The ZR-3 was delayed by heavy
fogs. The following messages were
received by radio before the huge ship
was sighted off the coast:
Now off South Nova Scotia; every
thing WE'LL" was the message sent at
II % o'clock Tuesday night from the
dirigible to the air station at Bar
Harbor, Maine. Navy officials said
they thought the ZR-3 at that time
was clearing the fog that had wrapped
her as she scared down off the coast
Of Newfoundland.
All Engines Working.
Two messages at IL p. m. to Lake
hurst, relayed by the Philadelphia
navy yard, read:
''At the present rate of travel ex.
pect to reach Lakehurst before noon"
Proceeding with all engines at
cruising speed with following
breeze"
The first message was signed by
Captain Steele. The second bore no
signature.
Turns Its Nose NorthWard.
Steadily cutting down the miles be-
tween it and it's goal, the ZR-3 sud-
denly shifted position. 1t had been
heading on a straight course from the
Azores toward Bermuda, but ran into
stiff head winds about a. m The
dirigible had been averaging 70 knots
up to then, but the elements prompt
ly brought it down to about %.
Faced with this problem, the navi-
eating officers of the ship abruptly
pointed its nose toward the tip of
Newfoundland. The ships speed was
held down to % knots
The first direct message from Capt.
George w. Steele, American naval man
aboard the ship, who is to command
it, was picked up by the cruiser De-
troit and relayed via the Boston navy
yard. The message disclosed a slight
tear in gas cell while flying at 5000
feet, but reported quick repairs. Cap
tain Steele said the ship was running
on only three of it's motors for the
sake of economy.

Another message from Captain
Steele said:
'ZR-3 continued during night under
