CBOP REPORT WILL
BE COMPREHENSIVE
State's New Service Has Great Pos
sibilities and Will Rival the
Government Soon
MORE WHEAT WAS PLANTED
Interesting Comment Upon What
> the State Is Doing With Its
Staple Crops Now
Plans to develop the State's crop re
port service so that it will rival as far
«.< Pennsylvania is concerned the re
port service of the I'nited States gov
ernment are being made and it is ex
pected that the December statement
■will show much that have never been
published before.
The review of reports made to Xo
vember shows the following:
The farmers of the State seeded
3 3.100 more acres for wheat this Ka'.l
than during the sowing season of 191 C,
and the acreage devoted to the cereal
would have been greater if weaklier
conditions had been more favorable
this Fall.
The acreage devoted to wheat this
J'all is estimated at 1.325.120 res
against 1.312.000 acres last year. The I
average condition is given as 9 4 per
cent. The wheat was sown late this!
l'ail because of the drought which I
prevented the ground being put into
good condition and because of the Hes
tiian fly. The average date for sowing
vheat in the northern tier was Sep
tember 16 and in the southern coun
ties October 2.
The estimate of rye sown is 271.600
aires against 280.000 acres last year.
In some district* where ground could
not be prepared for wheat it was put
In rye.
The corn is given as 1.463,000 acres
ond the crop is reported by Chief L.
H. W'ible as "well matured and of
splendid quality." The yield was up to
the average, probably between 41 and
4 2 bushels of shelled corn to the acre.
More complete data will be given next
month.
Dry weather caused the buckwheat
report to be only S." per cent, of the
overage crop and a poor yield of
cloverseed.
It is estimated that 265.000 acres
•were planted in potatoes with a total ]
of 28,408,000 bushels. The rot affected'
3>*ss than 6 per cent, of the crop and
the average production per acre runs
considerably above that of last year in
most counties, the average per acre
for the State
SS last year.
The State has 96 per cent, of the
number of porkers to be fattened ;:s
compared with a year ago.
Occupation of Vera Cruz
Cost Score of Lives and
Ten Million Dollars
Washington. Nov. 23.—American i
troops which have held Vera Cruz
#tnee last April were evacuating the
<-it> and sailing for home to-day and
while General Kunston's latest reports
to the War Department gave no de-
officials here expect sunset will
the Mexican flag floating again
over the ancient fortress af San Juan
and the American troopers well on
their way homeward across the gulf, i
Dispatihes early to-day from Gen
eral Funston said his furtherest out-'
post had been withdrawn at 9 o'clock: i
at 10 troops guarding the railroads at :
the approaches to the city were with-'
drawn and at 11 the eiubarkment was!
on in earnest. General Funston re-'
ported he expected to sail for Galves
ton at noon. He reported constitu-1
tionalirt troops under General Aguilar
■were taking possession of the city. j
Occupation of the Mexican port, in
reprisal for Huerta's insult to the llag
at Tanipico. has cost the I'nited States:
more than a score of lives, some in i
battle and some from disease and ac
cording to some estimates, as much as'
ten million dollars. But Mexico will be ]
asked to pay no indemnity. Adminis
tration officials want that fact to stand !
out as an added evidence of the disin- I
terested .riendship of the United States'
frr her southern neighbors.
General Funstoi lias instructions to
turn the city over to none of the 1
Mexican factions and thereby avoid
what might be construed as a recocni- J
tion of one of them. His orders simply 1
are to brine his troops away and leave !
the city to whichever faction takes :
possession.

THE TERRIBLE FURIES OF WAR
Europe to-day is a collosal. blood
; soaked battlefield —a scene of univer
sal carnage and waste. The dowers
of Europe's manhood is being mowed
down by awful engines of destruction.
Whole regiments will be left decimated
and bloody. Tens" of thousands of
unmarked graves will shelter the
corpses of husbands and lathers, sons
and brothers, whose smiles and af
fection and support will never be
known again. In every hamlet and
town homes will be shattered and left
desolate, with widows and wondering
orphans weeping by their bereaved
firesides.
These are the conseouences of such
ja war as Is now sweeping Europe like
a flame of delirium—a war unprece
dented In tne ages of man. Is it by
accident? Is it the whim of a tyrant?
Has It a logical cause? Will men and
nations lose or gain by it?
"The Story of Europe and the Na
tions at War" tells the whole story.
