Of rs per cent over last year, will be

the banks" Mr.. Bell said. The re-
naming amount. according to the
averages he said were taken from
selected banks throughout the coun-

maturing in December, 2 per cent;

CHICAGO, November 20.-The Amer

mates that the value of American
farm products this year will exceed
ten billion dollars. over three billion
more than for the low year of 1922,
but four billion less than the high
mark reached in 1920. The estimates
are that the farmers in the wheat
belt, from Kansas to Montana, will
have about 25 per cent more income
and growers in the cotton belt about
per cent more.
This trend. according to the sur
vey, does not extend to the Pacific
Coast. where farmer income Is esti-
mated at 10 per cent less than that
of last year.

 Three times since leaving here with her crew of adventurers, the vessel has been reported overdue at various ports and once she has been posted as missing. From time to time word was received here of mutiny on the vessel because of the hardships un- dergone but the men today declared such tales had been unfounded. Eight of the original party left the craft at various ports but their places were filled by other men picked up during the cruise.
 The crew of the vessel included only two professional sailors. the cap- tain and mate. The others included a motion picture camera operator, retired United States army and navy officers. Russian nobleman, a British aviator and others.
