GREATER POTATO
CROP Than IN 1926
WORD j. s, Dept, ACRI,

Wakefield, Mass, Oct. 14.-(P)-
This years potato crop will be six
percent greater than the potato har-
vest of 1925, but will be 1913 percent
below the five year average of pro-
duction, according to revised estimates
issued today by the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Adverse
weather conditions in the north CEN
trail late crop potato states in the
past month caused slight decline in
the expected production. The pros
pect, it was added, was for "a strong
market and good prices"
The condition of the crop on Octo-
Der /, indicated production of $780,
S21, 900 bushels, or 2.99 per capita, as
compared with 2,S2 last year and the
five year average of 3.55.
The New England crop gained 81
percent during September to a fore
cast of 44.172.000 bushels, which 81
32 percent more than last years har-
vest but short OF the five year average
by As percent.
Maine is the outstanding leader of
all states with present forecast for
a crop of 35.545,000 bushels as COM
pared with $4,000 in 1926 and the
average .of 34,790,000.

bank merger, combining the Irving
Bank and Trust Company and the
American Exchange Pacific National

the American Exchange
The recent history of the two
banks, whose union now gives them
place as one of the most impor-
tant of New Yorks great financial
institutions. has been marked by a
steady growth in which mergers have
played an. important part. Several
years ago the Irving National Bank
and the Columbia Trust Company
We're joined and until a few months
ago the name Irving Bank Columbia
trust Company was used. Their
program of expansion recently was
marked by the purchase of the
Butchers and DToyers National Bank
ABOUT year ago a consolida ton OF
the American Exchange National
Bank and the Pacific Bank was eff
fected.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 14.-(P)--
The American Legion in national
convention today refused to reatfirm
the action taken at its Omaha con-
ventfon last year at which time 1t
favored the adherence of the United
States to the world court. A reso-
luton restfirming that action was re-
jected by a large vote after speeches
had been made that the world court
had become a political question and
that to adopt the resolution would
b violating the Legion's constitution
which provides that the organization
cannot be used for the dissemination
of partisan principles. The merits of
the world court were not discussed
by those who opposed the resolution.
The question of a unified air SER
vice for the army and navy, went
over for another year after the con-

had adopted a recommendation that
there be one department Of air SER
