MARYLAND CROPS
ABOVE NORMAL
Wheat Yield Largest Since
1926-Corn Progressing.
Potato Acreage Less.

Above average sunshine during the
early part Of June, generally favorable
weather for harvesting, and evidences
Of an increased harvested acreage in
dicated that the 1929 Maryland wheat
crop viii be the largest since 1925, &C.
cording to 8. r. Newell, Federal agri-
cultural statistician for Maryland.
These indications point to the produc-
ton Of s,474,o0o bushels of wheat this
year as compared to q 1928 crop Of
s.745.o0 bushels and 11.960, 900 bushels
in 1925.
The area Of wheat harvested this
year is now estimated at SAL 900 acres
as compared with the estimate of
$4,000 acres planted in the Fall of
1928, $4,000 acres harvested in 1928
and an average Of 528, 900 acres during
the preceding five years.
Corn Condition.
The condition of corn In Maryland
was reported at 81 per cent Of normal
cent on July l, 1928. Although q
little late in starting, the crop has
made good progress thus far. How
ever, it is still too early to make an
accurate forecast of Maryland corn
production in 1929, since July weather
conditions have q marked influence on
the final outturn of the crop. The esti-
mate Of the area in corn this year Of
500 900 acres is 4 per cent below the
acreage harvested in 1928.
The preliminary estimate of the area
of potatoes for harvest in 1929 Is
40, 900 acres as compared with $4,000
acres In 1928. Acreage Of early pota-
toes on the Eastern Shore has been
reduced approximately 20 per cent this
year, but the reduction in acreage from
1928 has not been nearly as marked in
other sections of the State. The re-
ported condition of potatoes at 81 per
cent of normal on July /, points to
production of 3,958,000 bushels this
year.
Increase in Peaches.
A slight increase in production pros
poets Of peaches has occurred since
June /. The July estimate Of $4,000
bushels now compares with 465,000
bushels in 1928 and an average pro-
duction of sos, 900 bushels during the
preceding five years.
The reported condition of apples on
July points to q total production of
2,266 900 bushels this year as COM
pared with 100000 bushels harvested
in 1928.

INDIANS ALLOTTED
ONLY $1.O6 A MONTH
Senate Subcommittee Told Con-
ditions on Fort Totten
Reservation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINNEWAUKAN, N. Oak, July 40
The United States Senate subcommit-
tee that is investigating conditions on
Indian reservations was told today that
the Government rations allotment to
old Indians on the Fort Totten reser-
vation is $1.06 q month.
Senator Wheeler of Montana, who
with Senator Frazier Of North Dakota
is conducting the hearing, said the
amount was perfectly absurd" II
don't see how they can live on 1t es-
pecially in this cold country"
j. r. Hammitt, superintendent Of the
reservation, suggested the allowance be
increased to IS o month. but Wheeler
said he felt $40 a month would not
be too much.
Hammitt told the committee that
there Is some drinking on the reserva-
ton. but that moral conditions are
better than on most of the Indian
reservations In the country.
His testimony was refuted by Bernard
Two Hearts, an Indian. who said many
of the younger men drink heavily and
Government policemen are unable to
handle the situation. He said i'm
morality is rampant. About 30 per
cent Of the Indians Are affiicted with
tuberculosis, the superintendent said,
and the Government doctor and nurse
are unable to give adequate treatment
In all cases.
