We believe you told herein about week 10 days
ago that Washingtons outield would be the principal de-
parment affected when the 1894 Grffmen take the field
next spring.
We have facts today to back up that prediction
although April 1884 still distance off and these
words may fly right back in face by then and spatter
with meringue.
Clark Griffith has been home from the West since last
Saturday and he has spent the last three afternoons in
Baltimore scouting two players, of which is an out
fielder to whom the Old Fox has taken quite fancy.

ORDER WHEAT
ACREAGE CUT
Secretary Wallace Issues Or.
der To Cut Acreage Fif-
teen Per Cent
MEANS 100000 ACRES

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
has issued a Federal order calling
for a is percent slash il wheat
paintings by farmers of the ma
tion, joining ID the government
crop reduction plan. He estimated
it would mean cut of about g.
6OOO 900 acres ia wheat paintings
below the average Of recent years
and would reduce production of the
bread grain more than 124,000,000
bushels below the average Of past
years. These estimates, he added,
were based on theoretically
\ complete sign-up" by farmers who
by agreeing to reduce their acre
age become eligible to up to $120.-
100000 in cash benefit payments
from a fund being raised by the 80
cent per bushel processing tax on
wheat that has been levied since
July 9. About 9O.OO0,00O is sched-
uled for distribution this Fall.
Wallace's announcement was made
without waiting for final action on
the London wheat agreement.
Twenty-one nations Friday signed
the compact including the United
States. Wallace said, however,
that the agreement did not become
effective unless the four chief ex-
porting nations, the United states,
Argentina, Australia and Canada,
Join in a supplementary under
standing dividing among them
quota of 56O,00O,000 bushels in ex-
ports during the year which began
August /. This supplement has
been delayed but Wallace said ne
was confident it would be signed
It has been approved by represent
atives of Canada and Australia
but the United States is withhold
ing its signature until it has been
signed by the Argentine delegate,
Thomas LIE Breton. Wallace said
the four nations, including Argen-
tina and the United States, had
verbally agreed to the supplement
which would limit this country's
exports for the year to about A.
100000 bushels or one-half per
cent of the whole. The new Min
lister of Agriculture of Argentina,
Luis Duhau. was reported to have
instructed LIE Breton to withhold
formal APPROVAL until he had stud
led the plan in detail.

EASTMAN CONDUCTING
SURVEY OF SHIPPERS
Study Made to Develop More Mod
ern Methods of Handling the
Nations Freight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Looking to improvement in methods
Of handing and charging for freight
service, Joseph B. Eastman, Federal
co-ordinator Of transportation. today
began q Nation wide market survey of
transportation.
A QUESTIONABLE was sent to approxi-
mately 100000 shippers and receivers of
less than carload, package and parcel
freight handled by railroads, express
agencies, trucking and forwarding COM
panieS
This QUESTIONABLE. Eastman said, will
be "a first step in Nation wide mar
ket survey Of transportation, and will
be followed shortly by other question:
naires prepared by the section Of trans
portation service and sent to the various
classes Of carriers"
The object of the inquiry, he ex-
planned. was to help the carriers i'm
prove their methods and to provide
greater economy and more efficient
and attractive service better adapted to
present-day conditions"
"It is hoped" he added, ito centralize
and coordinate efforts in this direction
which the carriers are making individ-
ually. The co-ordinator recognized that
before any constructive plan can be
devised. 1t is essential to obtain the sug-
gestions Of shippers and full informa-
ton as to their service requirements.
