The exhibit was successful in

every respect.
Prominently among the matters uc-
cessfully handled by this department dur
ing the year was organization OF the Saint
Thomas Chamber of Commerce on Janu-
airy IL, 1927. This Chamber of Commerce
has been accepted as an organization
member in the United States Chamber Of
Commerce. An advertising campaign
has been planned and cue thousand dol
lars has been raised to finance it. The
progress made since its inception is most
gratifying,
The agricultural survey mentioned in
the annual report for the previous fiscal
year was continued as time and shortage
Of assistance would permit Itthas not yet
been completed in Saint Thomas and
Saint Croix.
The Agricultural Experiment Station
in Saint Croix has detailed a Horticul-
turist to duty in Saint Thomas for eX-
tension work and his services have been
efficient and fruitful. Based on expert
ments conducted at the Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station in Saint Croix it has
been felt, for some time, that vegeta-
bles. such as tomatoes, peppers, onions,
etc, could be raised in the Virgin Islands
for export to the New York winter mar
kets at a time when prices are highest.
The opportunity seems unlimited and
results of small ventures have been en-
c0uraging. While such a project would
provide work for the unemployed in Saint
Thomas. it would give the much needed
crop diVersiticatiOn in st. Croix and make
that Island less dependent on sugar cane.
Under another section Of this report ben
eticiaI legislation enacted during the year
in this connection has been given promi-
nence. A small nursery in Saint Thomas

the reforestation of the Virgin Islands.
has been started.
It is believed that in the development
of agricultural pursuits lies the solution
of the fundamental economic problems Of
the Virgin Islands. Saint Thomas trade,
once so prolific, has declined due to causes
beyond human control. Saint CrOiX'
sugar history is a tale of successive woes
and there is little likelihood of great i'm
provement. Every effort is being made,
therefore, by the insuDar authoriu,s TO
solve the problem of getting the people
of the Virgin Islands back TO the land and
every encouragement and inducement is
being granted TO industries that will fur
nish more employment ard create more
real wealth for the people of the Isl 3Dds.
In Saint CroiX. the raising of cattle,
though still a minor industry. has made
marked strides since the transfer OF SOW
e~reigpty, due to the opening up of the
Porto Rican market to the people Of these

INDIANA WHEAT
YIELD DECLINES
Purdue Also Predicts Small
er Corn Crop.

BB United Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 15.-.The
Purdue agricultural experiment sta
ton today estimated the yield of
winter wheat in Indiana at 15.5
bushels an acre, or a total Of a.
621 900 bushels, as compared to 33,-
$4,000 bushels last year.
The August corn estimate is two
points higher in condition than last
month, but it made no more than
seasonal progress, so the actual i'm
provement is not considered great.
Planting was about three weeks late
and the crop is backward. Estimates
place the yield at log, los. 900 bushels
compared with 170,528,000 bushels
in 1926, or 81 per cent of the last
years crop.
The apparent yield of oats de-
clined sharply as harvest and
thrashing began, and the estimate
fer this year is 56,O36,00o bushels, as
compared to 61,524.O00 bushels in
1926. Rye is yielding slightly bet
ter than was expected early in the
season and the forecast is for l.
$4,000 bushels. Potatoes show only
an average condition, but a larger
acreage makes the estimate 4,730, 900
as compared it $4,000 last year.
Tobacco is reported eighteen points
below average.

food thirty-three pounds and mail
eighteen pounds.
1t was estimated the fuel supply
was sufficient to keep the plane in

Vanzetti if failure marks all other
efforts to save the two men.
Although defense attorneys would
oot discuss the possible eleventh.

such q plea in view.
The defense today had only eight
more days to continue the ex-
traordinary legal battle which was
begun some seven years ago.

DELAY EXECUTION
SIayers of Albert Snyder

OSSINING, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Final
settlement" settlement meaning
execution in Sing Sing Prison par
lance, of the slayers Of Albert Sny-
der, will not be made before next
year, if ever, it was said by officials
today.
This means that Mrs. Ruth Sny-
der and Henry Judd Gray will have
several more months of life while
their lawyers battle their appeal
points in the courts,
One reason the delay is necessary
is due to the new law, requiring
that the county supply a printed
record of the trial within a month
Of the time the appeal is taken. The
record in the Snyder Gray case con-
sists of 10000 pages, and it will not
be completed until early September.
