CANADIAN WHEAT
CROP AVERAGE IS
LOWEST IN YEARS
Dominion Government SAYS
Outlook in Saskatchewan Is
Particularly Poor

Ottawa. Ont, July 10.-R-The
condition of the spring wheat crop
for all Canada on June 80 is given
as Sc per cent Of the long time aver
age yield per acre In a crop report
issued by the dominion bureau of
statistics. This compares with 80 per
cent at the corresponding time last
year.
The condition Of fall wheat was
given as SO this year against "a a
year ago and all wheat as So COM
pared with 80. Barley was given as
65 against 81; all rye n against 81;
corn for husking SO against SO: sugar
beets 96 against 102 and pastures as
SO against 10l.
The condition figuSes show the crop
situation to be the most critical since
1908, the report said. Even the
drought year, 1910, showed a condi-
ton so per cent higher than at the
end of June this year.
In Saskatchewan, where much of
Canada's wheat production is con-
centrated and where the depreciating
conditions were most extreme, a drop
in spring wheat condition from 80 to
Sc was reported for the month of
June alone.
Crops in eastern Canada, however,
were reported as good. In the Mari
time provinces and Quebec, nearly all
crops Appropriated average condi-
ton with hay and pasture particu-
larly promising. Most important
field crops show an Improvement over
1890 in Ontario.

Men Defeated in Seattle. Tokyo
Flight to Revamp Plane,
Make Another Attempt
LARGER MOTOR IS NEEDED
Inability to Hold MonopIane in
Contact With RefueIer
Halted Long Jump

Nome, Alaska, July 1o.-R-Their
attempted nonstop flight from Seat
tie to Tokyo having ended neal here
in failure, Reg L. Robbins and Har-
old S. Jones Of Texas Friday planned
an early return to the United States
to try it again.
Robbins and Jones brought their
monoplane Fort Worth to earth at
Solomon, 30 miles east Of here early
Thursday after having covered about
2,100 miles Of the 5,100-mile route and
having connected several times with
their tri-motored ~refueling plane, pi-
loted by ]. j. Mattern and Nick
Greener.
After a long rest Robbins and Jones
announced they would use the Fort
Worth for their second attempt, but
would install a larger engine. They
said the same tri-motored ship would
be used for refueling.
In explanation of the sudden ter
mination of their flight, Robbins said
the Fort Worth had become unwieldy
after 300 gallons of gas had been tax
en- aboard in high winds.
It was impossible to hold the mono
plane in contact with the refueler, he
said, to take aboard sufficient gaso-
line to complete the 3,OO0-mile flight
to Japan. The other refuelings, near
Fairbanks and on the way to Nor
ton Sound, had been successful.
The Fort Worth had not been IN
the air in test flights before leaving
the United States with a capacity
load of 435 gallons which the filters
had planned to take aboard from
their refueler over Siberia.
Several attempts were made to fill
the Fort Worth's fuel tanks above
Nome, but the weight of the gas and
the high winds baffled them. Robbins
said. A larger engine In the Fort
Worth. he said, would have prevented
the trouble.
Flying here with the refueling crew
in the ~refueler Thursday, Jones and
Robbins had a long sleep after hav-
ing been 26 hours. So minutes in the
air on their hop from Seattle.
Bad flying weather to Fairbanks
prevented their take-off for Seattle,
but they said they would return to
the United States as o o as possible.
Earlier in the day they had said they
would sell the Fort Worth il possible
here in Alaska.
The men were disappointed in their
failure in the quest for a So, 900 prize
offered by a Japanese newspaper for
the first nonstop flight between Sc
attic and Japan. Four previous at
tempts by other fliers. two by Harold
Bromley, Tacoma, also have failed.
"It's tough" Robbins said, "but we
couldn't see any other way out and
the weather was so bad and visibility
nil, we would have killed ourselves
outright In attempting to get
through"

washington, July 10.-R-Theo-
dore Joslin, secretary to President
Hoover, said today the investigation
of several newspaper stories original
ing outside official sources had so far
failed to produce results.
The secretary said any newspaper

ton he wishes, but added, "Just try
and get any information"
After starting an investigation of
secret service men and newspaper
correspondents concerning sources Of
accounts Of how the president de-
parted hurriedly from his Rapidan

This policy was that any story hav-
ing to do with the president Of the
white house should come from q

nouncing the policy, Joslin said he
did not consider it q censorship.
Joslin, q former newspaper man,
has been designated by the president
as the stated source of white house
news. but when the story under in
vestigation happened he was in
Washington and the president and
reporters were in the Blue Ridge
mountains of Virginia.
The correspondents were unable to
get in contact with Joslin and Law
renee Richey. the secretary at the
camp. was "too busy to talk with
newspaper men,"
A series of about is stories, the &C.
curacy of which has not been ques-
toned. brought about the investiga-
ton.
Among them was one concerning q
marine who had been attacked by q
huge Irish wolf hound owned by Mrs.
Hoover.
Veteran Washington correspond
ents have protested to the white house
concerning the latest new policy.
They have told Joslin that the ruling
was in effect a censorship and some
Of them frankly expressed their re-
sentiment at being investigated.
It was said that the dog, SHAM
rock" by name, was no longer at the
white house kennels.
