bushels, chiefly from the Argentine,

The other crop estimates as of July
follow:
All wheat, 63s s.39e 900 bushels; Win
ter wheat, 512,085 900; Spring wheat,
126,314,0OO.
Advance information on crop con-
ditions could yield a fortune on specu-
lative markets. The Government s
crop-reporting machinery has been
designed so Everybody gets the in
formation at the same time" said
A. R. Tuttle. secretary of the board.
The crop reports, in addition to
commodity market value, serve as a
guide to bankers on loans, railroads
on cars needed and manufacturers
and merchants generally.
Meanwhile. a shift of millions of
acres of land in the Great Plains
from crop farming to stock ranching
and other forms of grazing was said
by the Resettlement Administration
to be necessary to combat continued
drought"
The opinion was expressed n con-
nection with a survey on land use by
DR., L. c. Gray, assistant to Admins
traitor Rexford Guy Tugwell and a
technical adviser to the Presidents
Great Plains Drought Committee.
This group is preparing a series Of
long-range measures intended to
modify the affects of future droughts
1t was expected the "5asic changes"
outlined yesterday would be included
IN the report to President Roose'el
DR.. Gray's study asserted that more
than half of Montana, North Dakota
and South Dakota included plowed
crop land, which officials SAID must be
returned to grass or forage crops.
Similar areas of large size were Ges-
ienated in Colorado, Wyoming and
New Mexico, with smaller districts in
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas.
The report said that much of the
area which had oeen designated as
official drought area" during the
current arid season was good farm
land. capable of producing profitable
crops" with normal rainfall. The ad-
ministration said that emergency Fed
eral measures would suffice in these,
such as loans and relief jobs.
Emergency measures could not solve
the problem for large areas "continu-
ally subject to drought, and therefore
not adapted to crop farming" the
agency added, however.
These three types of readjustment
were suggested: Conversion of c1op
land to grazing range; increases in
size of existing farm units, and small
water servoir projects to assure live
stock feed.
DR.. Gray said that in none of the
areas would all crop land have to
be retired" because good farm land
always Is mixed in with areas not
adapted to crop production"
and soil exposed to the wind.

an evening meeting at Calvary Bap-

earlier congregation by Secretary OF
Commerce Daniel c. Roper, who
praised him as lone who has made
action conform with ideals and
teacher who personifies the new spirit
of interdependence in the world
The number of Christians in Japan,
DR.. Kagawa declared, has doubled in
10 years. Somebody" he insisted,
has to be willing to sacrifice for JUS
tice and love-" He pleaded for
crusade against unbelief. war and
poverty, and called on his hearers to
accept the cross as symbol of
charity and progress.
DR.. Kagawa expressed doubt that
plans for social betterment will sue

abandon personal ambitions. People
forget that Jesus said that if one
wishes to be chief one should be
servant" he said.
At the evening meeting the visitor
appealed to large congregation OF
