Spring Wheat Shows Favorable in*
crease, Oat Crop Is Expected to Set
a New Record Along With Ry% and
Potatoes.
Washington. ? Conv the country's
greatest crop, needs only a few weeks
freedom from frost to mature Into the
largest production ever known tn the
history of the nation. The govern
ment's September crop report fore
casts a production of 3,248,000,000
bushels, which is 124,000,000 bushels
more than produced in the record
year, 1912.
Corn prospects improved to the ex
tent of 53.000,000 bushels as a result
of good weather during August, the
Kansas crop showing improvement to
the extent of almost 40,000,000 bush
els, and Missouri 23,000,000 bushels,
eciines were recorded In other states.
Spring wheat yields are turning out
better than expected and the Septem
ber forecast showed an increase of
1-54)00,000 bushels over the produc
tion forecast in August with a total of
250,000,000 bushels. Adding the win
ter wheat production, a total yield of
668,000,000 bushels ofwheat was an
nounced. That is 28,000,000 bushels
more than last year's harvest, but ;
138,000,000 bushels less than the aver
age of the crops for the five years,
1911-15.
Besides the record crop of corn,
larger production than ever before
will be harvested in oats, with 1,533,
000,000 bushels; rye with -66,000,000

_ In the south, however, from the
Brestovizza valley to the sea, the Ital
ians hare been compelled to with
stand violent counter-attacks by the
Austrians, who are endeavoring to
how back General Cadorna's -lines
from a further approach to Triest.
The Austrians at one place momenta
rily forced the Italians to" cede ter
ritory. A counter-attack by he Ital
ians not alone retrieved the lost po
sition but resulted in the capture of
more than 400 prisoners. On the
Bainzizza plateau, northeast of Go
rlzia, the Italians have made further
gains, capturing an important Aus

No details have been vouahsafed
concerning the . battle which is in
progress northeast of Gorlzia, .and no
confirmation. is at hand of the re

Monte San Gabrlele, the last dominat

north of Gorizla.
Nearly 1,700 men have been cap

- Again the Italians have sent their
airmen over Pola, the Austrian naval

materially , to the damage done In pre

RUSSIANS FLEE WHILE

German Fleet Is Aotlve as 8lavs are
Pressed from Riga.
The Russians and Austro-Itallan
theaters continue the centers of Inter*
est in the world war. In the former
the Germans are still pressing, the
Russians in their retreat from the
Riga region; ln the latter the forces
of General Cadorna continue to harass
the Austrians but with- the enemy of*
fering stout resistance on the major
sectors? north and northeast of Geor
gia and along the Carso plateau.
With the Russian 'front already brok
en over a distance of about 45 miles
between Riga and Prledrichstadt; the
province of Livonia is fast being over
run by the Germans. Everywhere the
enemy is pressing the retreating Rus
sians, among whom the disaffection
that permitted the easy taking of Riga
daily becomes more apparent.
Although the Russians have fallen
back with great speed all along the
line 4t seems evident that they have
not bee nput to rout and thta the |
loyal troops are fighting splendid
rear-guard actions. This seemingly is
borne out by the fa<j.t that the German
bag of prisoners thus far has been less
than eight thousand and their capture
in guns only 180.
The Italian commander-in-chief,
General Cadorna, continues his reti
cence concerning the Operation he
has in view against the Austrians, his
latest communication merely announc
ing the continuatlno of the heavy,
fighting northeast # Georgia, and the
repulse on the Carso plateau, feouth
of the BrestQvlzza Valley, of strong
Austrian counter-attacks.
