Stute's Wheat
Crop to be Up

Acreage for harvest at l,487,000
acres is down l percent from last
year, but is higher than expect
ed earlier because a relatively
large acreage of winter wheat
was reseeded TO spring wheat.
Prospective production of dur
UNI wheat at 5,880,000 bushels is
more than 4-fold the 1861 total,
due chiefly to higher yield pros
poets and a sharply increased
acreage. The latter is partly a re-
suit of relaxation in acreage con-
trolls for special-purpose durum.
The barley crop is forecast at
53.2 million bushels more than
double last years total of 26.4
million, and three-fbfths above
average. Acreage for harvest at
1,773,000 is 81 percent above a
year ago, and 48 percent above
average. Oats production is ex-
pected to be IA million bushels,
AZ percent above the 1861 output
but II percent below average.
Corn to be harvested for grain
is indicated at 10000 bushels,
down slightly from the 174,000
bushels produced in 1861. Rye at
100000 bushels is 33 percent
above last year.

For the most part, merchandise

ing.
4. Add enough social service

thorized."
The statement, which the

There is great need to find
out what has happened to the
children and their parents
whose help was terminated be-
cause Of the special investiga-

Of snow.
In the westernmost portion
Of Maryland, Garrett County
authorities reported snow
depths of up to Is inches. Only
one lane of u S. 40 west o.
Cumberland was open.
The blizzard that struck Gar.

stalled in deep drifts near Oak

State road crews reached the
bus at midnight and took the
children and the bus driver to
a nearby farmhouse. where
they were fed and spent the
night.
Two Maryland highway fa-

that these defects should be

about the Junior Village build
ings because they have Sprink-
Ter systems"
Marshal Groves warned that
even If a sprinkler system
quenches a blaze, the initial
fire and smoke could cause
panic. He added that this panic
might cause death unless ad-
equate means of exit are pro-
vided.
Chief Roberts said in his re-
port that as a precautionary
measure the following orders,
among others, have been is
sued:
Bars placed on the inside Of
windows to keep children from
falling out must be replaced
with heavy removable wire
screens.
i An opening in the wall Of
a heating room in one build
ing must be bricked up.
No Sprinkler Deficiencies
The Fire Prevention Division
must make at least four in
spections of the entire irstitu-
ton each year.
Chief Roberts said that "a
thorough inspection" was made
yesterday of the automatic
sprinkler system in each build
ing and mo deficiencies in
equipment or their operation
were found"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Duncan said
that the Welfare Department
is still trying to find some
. satisfactory building to help re-
lieve the over-crowding at Jun
ior Village. He added that 10

. buildings are now being con-
sidered as housing for some
