crease of 80 percent due to dry
weather, worms and other damage;
and mustard seed, with a production
more than double that of 1889 due to
the extensive failure of the 1893
planted acreage in contrast with a
moro favorable season in 1910 per.
hitting about twice as much acreage
to be harvested.
Eastern Montana in 1910 contrib
uted a relatively large share of the
States totals in the case of spring
sown small grains, corn, and flax, and
had one of its best seasons in the past
decade. Extreme western Montana
on the other hand, suffered severely
from drouth which cut yields of all
dryland crops The central-third OF
tho State experienced spotted damage
from dry weather and grasshoppers
but managed to make better than
average yields for its principal grain
crop, winter wheat, and in some coun-
ties made average or better yields in
the case of spring-sown grains. Irri-
gated crops as a whole did well in
all districts.

ROOSEVELT HOME,
 ON RADIO TODAY
President to Broadcast in Competition With the
 World Series

Hyde Park, N. Y, Oct. 5.-(Up)- President Roosevelt returned to his home today for an address to the "home folks" and the nation that marks the beginning of the final phase of his drive for 8 third term.
 He arrived at 8:30 a. m. (EST) after an overnight trip by special train from Washington and motor ed, to his home.
 MT. Roosevelt will dedicate three new Duchess county schools at 2:45 p. m. His speech will be broad cast over the Columbia Broadcast ing System and the Blue Network of the National Broadcasting Com pany.
 White House aides said it would be merely another "dedicatory" ad- dress. But their decision to put it on the networks in competition with the world series Saturday afternoon suggested that MT. Roosevelt may have something more in mind than speech for the home folks.
 Any political implications that may develop in the address, how ever, are expected to be subordi- nate to local background attendant to dedication of the three new schools. During his entire cam paign thus far for a third term, most of MT. Roosevelt'S public ad- dresses have touched on political issues chiefly by indirection.
 On Monday he inspects the Wa tervliet, N. Y., big gun arsenal of the army. Later he will look over the historic Saratoga battlefield and PWA-constructed facilities at Sara toga Spa.
 His presence in his home state coincides with that of his opponent Wendell L. W4llkie who campaigns in New York city today.
 This visit to Hyde Park probably will be MT. Roosevelt's last before election.

 CiraIdi Withdraws
 In the 18th district Republican contest, Louis Ciraldi, one of the leading candidates, has withdrawn in favor of MT. Petrillo, who was the candidate for tax collector two years ago. MT. Post has the support of part of the Young Mems Repub- lican club, of which he is a former president, while MT. McGurk has backing from several groups.
 There has been little discussion of the 18th district nomination, the winner of which will oppose Senator Edward P. Egan, Democrat.

ment of Air Marshal Sir Charles F. A. Portal as chief of air staff to succeed Air Chief Marshal Sir Cy- Til Newall.
 Newall's appointment as gover- nor general of New Zealand to suc- ceed Viscount Galway, whose term expires in February next, was an- nounced.
 Portal has been chief of the bomber command since two months before Adolf Hitler invaded Bel gium and Holland. His tour of duty marked the steady intensification of British bombing attacks, start ing the day Hitler invaded Den- mark and Norway, and it was be- ieved that in his new post the attack rather than the offensive would be increasingly emphasized in all Royal Air Force activities.
 Portal, 47, is of the dynamic type and his friends said of his eew post: "He is the right man to deal with that fellow EGtler."
 He has been the moving spirit behind the persistent bombing of military objectives in Germany and the almost nightly raids on invasion ports. It had been suggest ed that these raids more than any, thing else held up the vaunted German invasion of Britain.

ther embargoes of materials feed- ing Japan,s war machine are known to be under consideration. Author itative circles have intimated that these may include copper, pig iron aud steel of all description.
 It was generally believed that 8 definite decision whether to extend the embargo would be held in abey- ance until it is learned what deci- sions the German-Italian dictators resolved at the Brenner Pass meet ing, and just what moves may de- volve upon Japan as 8 result of those decisions.
 Oficials declined formal comment either upon the Brenner Pass meet ing or the Japanese statements. President Roosevelt, however, held 8 long meeting with his cabinet a few hours after press reports had been received of these developments. It was reported that the cabinet dis cussed foreign affairs almost ex- clusively.
