WHEAT OUTPUT
FAR EXCEEDS
ESTIMATES ~
international News Service

Wheat farmers of America bid
fair to fill up the depleted gran
aries with a crop Of more than
900,000,000 bushels Of winter and
spring wheat this year-and it
may pass the 1000, oO0, 900 bushel
mark, according to estimates Of
the crop reporting board Of the
Department of Agriculture.
A winter wheat crop of 654,295,-
900 bushels is predicted by the
board, based on conditions as of
May /. The latest spring and
durum wheat estimate Of a month
ago Indicated crop Of 261, 900, 900
bushels.
The crop reporting board gave
the condition Of winter wheat as
OF May / at TIA per cent of nor
NAL, yet predicted the same yield
per acre as last year, 1873 bushels
per acre. Yet last year the May 1
estimate Of the board gave the
condition of winter wheat as only
81 per cent, or 10 per cent less
than the condition Of this year.
May Estimate Low
A review Of the boards report
today disclosed that on May of
last year it gave the winter wheat
acreage planting as 47,529, 900
acres, and predicted that only
35,932 acres would be harvested,
for a drop of 463, 708, 900 bushels,
based on the 81 per cent of nor
NAL condition.
The actual winter wheat acre
age harvested was 1858, 900
acres, according to its report yes
terday or more than 100000
acres more than its May l.. 1896,
estimate. And the actual harvest
was 519,013,000 bushels, an in
crease of SIS, 3O5 900 bushels over
its May / estimate.
Favorable weather conditions
for the rest of this year, if they
developed the same increase in
acres of wheat and bushels har-
vested as resulted between the
May !, 1886, forecast and the
actual harvest for 1896, would re-
suit in a winter wheat crop of
approximately 798,000,0O0 bushels.
Milk Output Up
Despite the pasturage condition
and high prices of feed, cows have
gone on a bigger production basis,
the board said. Milk production
per COW is / per cent higher than
a year ago.
Condition of early potatoes was
both above the condition for a year
ago and the average condition.
The May / condition this year was
1853. per cent, compared to 7O.3 per
cent on May /, last year and an
average of 75.S.
Orange production Of 51,919, ZOO
boxes was only less than the So.
283,000 boxes of last year and
above the 1856, 900 boxes average.
Southern peaches. however, were
badly damaged, and production is
estimated at only 9,963, 900 bushels,
as compared to a 1911, 900 crop
last year.

The Chinese government. in q
statement issued yesterday through

from Marking to Chunkking as q step
to assure greater effectiveness in its
resistance to the japanese. declared
determination Of its people to night
the invaders "even to the last man" :"
Citing evidences of the solidarity
OF all parts of the nation in respond
ing to the governments call for nght-
ing forces. the government statement
asserted that TO be a broken jade
rather than a whole tile" has become
the determination of every patriotic
Chinese"
"Of late, the Japanese forces have
shown . disposition of advancing
further westward. evidently with the
intention of coercing the Chinese gov
ernment into accepting the humiliat-
ing terms by directly threatening the
safety Of Marking. capital Of China.
In this, the Japanese calculations are
greatly mistaken. For in embarking
upon the present course Of action
after all peaceful means had proved
fruitless, China has fully made up
her mind that her salvation lies In
fighting the invaders even to the last
man. Our submission to Japan is
neither compatible with our national
existence and honor nor with the
maintenance Of international justice
and peace.
There can be no doubt that here
after China's resistance will be on an
even wider extent and Of greater effec-
tiveness than heretofore and with vast
man power and natural resources at
her command and with full deter
mination Of her people to give up their
lives for the country. she is fully
