NEW YORK, Mar. 20.-As the
ma iority of newspaper polls on pro-
hibition close today, those who have
expressed. desire for the lcgaliZed
sale of light wines and beer or for
repeal of the prohibition laws seem
assured of to | lead over those
who have voted their satisfaction
with the existing situation.
Some of the more than 425 news
papers which have participated in
the largest unofficial referendum on
public question ever held in this
country, will continue their polls and
it may be weeks before all the re-
turns are in. But the more import
ant polls end today and the mum
Der of votes has been decreasing y
daily.
Results printed by three groups of
newspapers conducting their ballot
ing separately, today showed that
returns reported within "a hours to-
talled only 16S, S,494 and brought the
aggregate vote to 3,0l4,962. Since
some newspapers conducted their
polls independently, this figure is
not all-inclusive and the total votes
are expected to approach 3.750,000
when all towns and cities have been
heard from.

disinterest in the polls, asking their

HELENA.-Farmers are still stack

LIST, which indicated 1884 900 bushels
of wheat; 17,6S3,OOO of oats; $685.
600 of corn; 3,7O5,OOO of barley; and
1928, 1000 tons of tame hay, says the
weekly crop report issued by the
state and federal departments of ag-
riculture.
Threshing has been delayed in
Blaine and Phillips counties due to
high winds, but practically all grain
with the exception of late stuff has
been cut. Elevator men are reporting
large deliveries. Some winter wheat
is being sown. Dry soil is preventing
fall ploughing in Rosebud county.
Corn generally has been helped by
rains and is now sufficiently advanc-
ed to-. assure normal cropst before
frost. Corn will mature earlier than
usual in Phillips and adjacent coun-
ties, itsis reported.
Potatoes are generally in a thrifty
condition with some damage recorded
in eastern Montana due to dry wealth
er. The condition of beets and beans
is good, and some beans have beer
pulled. Alfalfa seed is said ito b'
heavy. Pastures are greatly i'm
