BALTIMORE, July 10.-The State
Conservation Commission viewed the
Chesapeake Bay sea nettle situation
with marked optimism today.
The large amount of rain which has
fallen in Maryland this Summer
probably has made upper sections Of
the bay uninhabitable for sea nettles,
officials said.
The sea nettle, they explained, likes

the hospital were unable at first to

port controversy, the Baltimore Asso-
citation of Commerce has begun a
campaign to divert air transport oper-
ations from Washington to Baltimore,
it was reported today. The associa-
ton, it was learned, is seeking to have
the new Baltimore municipal airport
designated as the main line stop for
airlineS operating along the coast and
as a terminal for transcontinental
service, leaving Washington as a Sec
ondary or subsidiary stop.
1t was pointed out that because of
WaShington's failure to provide ter

been selected as one of the bases for
the transatlantic service, of Pan
American Airways, now in the trial
flight basis and that it is logical that
the domestic system of airlines should

been used several times as a terminal

out of Washington by flooding of

Solomon, in defending his airport
against charges of the pilots that it is
unsafe because of its narrow width
and surrounding opstructions, said
that the airport has handled with
safety up to $50 landings and take
offs per day. This, he said, probably
is a greater number than any COM

mon said, has been maintained day

Even with the most skilled personnel,
if the airport had very serious short
comings, accidents would happen.
However, nothing has happened In
my opinion, Washington Airport has
performed very useful public service
with a splendid record. Pilots and
other personnel have, of course, con-
tributed to this safety record.
If the Military road were closed
and the lagoon filled, other improve
ments could be made that would in
crease the facilities of the airport
The perfect safety record cannot be

Largest Wheat Crop in Six
Years Is Predicted bV
Government.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Government experts predict this
years harvest will fill the countrys
grain bins.
They forecast the largest wheat
crop in six years, 882 Oo0,O 900 bushels,
and the largest corn crop since 1892,
2,57l 85l 900 bushels.
The production of the principal
crops will be much greater than in
recent drought years, 1898, 1884 and
1886" the Federal Crop Reporting
Board announced yesterday, "and
about equal to the average produce
ton during the l928-32 period
Unless usual weather conditions up
set the Government estimates, the
Crop Board said, farmers will produce
enough this year to meet prospective
needs.
Factors of Need Considered.
In figuring needs, the experts added.
they considered population growth, in
creasing industrial requirements, ex-
ports, the small amount of live stock
now on farms and short feed supplies
now available.
The wheat estimate was about ESQ.,
100000 bushels above last years pro-
duction and nearly 100000 bushels
above the average for 1882. This
wheat IS needed, the board said, to in
crease short reserves and feed live
stock until corn is available.
month ago the Crop Board esti-
mated Winter wheat production at
648597,000 bushels This compared
with 663, 900 bushels forecast today.
Spring wheat production was esti-
mated at 218,646.OOO bushels, COM
pared with 1O7,4480OO bushels last
year and the recent fve-year average
of 24l ,3l2 900 bushels.

the plant disease which recently
caused speculative wheat prices to
soar.
Rust was said to have caused varying
damage in the Winter wheat area
from Eastern Kansas and Nebraska
eastward to Ohio. 1t was termed "a
threatening factor" in the Spring
wheat areas of the Dakotas, Nebraska
and Western Minnesota.
The estimated corn crop of 2571..
85l 900 bushels would be more than
a billion bushels larger than the
drought-shortened production of last
year and slightly larger than the
1882 average of 2,554772, 900.
