Three Alienists to Examine American
Held for Murder
Rome. May 7. —The two alienists ap
pointed by the court at Como to ex
amine Porter Charlton, the young
American accused of having killed his
wife on June 9, 1910, with reference
to his sanity are expected to submit
their report on May 18. but owing to
the divergence of opinion which it is
understood the two experts hold it is
likely that a third alienist will be ap
pointed.

10 ISSUE NEWCROP REPORT
'' Agricultural Outlook'' to Bo Succeed
• od by Monthly Serial Similar to
"The Oiop Reporter"
Washington, D. 0., May 7.—The pub
lication of the farmers' bulletin en
titled "The Agricultural Outlook,"
will be discontinued with the issue of
April, 1915. Beginning with the month
of May, 1915, and monthly thereafter,
or as often as may be necessary, data
relating to agriculture, including esti
mates of acreage, condition, yield, pro
duction, prices and values of crops and
live stock, in the form of tabular state
ments, accompanied by text summaries
and couments, will be published in a
serial of the Bureau of Crop Estimates
entitled, "The Monthly Crop Report."
It will be printed on pages of quarto
size, and will be placed in the hands
of readers as soon as practicable after
the day of the month to which the re
port relates.
"The Monthly Crop Report" is a re
sumption, in size anil aature of mate
rial, of "The Crop Reporter," which
was discontinued with the issue of-June
19, 1913. The publication of statistic
ill matter was resumed, however, Sep
tember 11, 1913, in the "Agricultural
Outlook." In addition to the stat
istical data, the "Outlook" included a
number of chapters or articles dealing
with timely matters of production. It
has been found impossible to publish
the "Outlook" quickly enough to
make the crop figures fully serviceable
to the public. The cost was greater
than anticipated, and the special ar
ticles published therein frequently were
lost to sight and failed to secure the
direct attention of farmers that the
circular series of the department or
the Weekly News Letter would give
them. The separation of the crop re
ports from the other material, not di
rectly pertinent thereto, wilTenablc the
department to publish the details of
crop reports far more promptly, effect
economies and make possible more di
rect circulation of both classes of ma
terial. The issuance of the special ar
ticles is to be continued, but full provi
siov i>» now made for their wide publi
cation through the circular series of
the office of the Secretary and through
the enlarged Weekly News Letter.
