One of the proposed changes In

ivlll be debated with great forceulnesa
by the advOcatbs of both
tides, will affect the representation

he muiie-of 4he.chufeh. This mat? 1
er has been agitated tor a long
Ime. but the views concerning the 1

int designation of the church are 1

Anoher subject of considerable 1

Other important matters for disusslon
include the report of the 1

The convention will be in sessioi
three weeks.
The question of the change of nami

Is bound to bo presented in at least
one instance, for the diocese of Call

define the wprd "Protestant" authoritatively
as to its meaning as applied
to the Episcopal church.
A counter proposition^ which if
pleasing to the High church party,
has been made recently- that fch<
word'"Catholic'' shall be defined and
jfficially adapted, setting forth tht
Episcopal church's understanding
5f it. It Is rafe to snv th?t nil

STAPLES 9
^ ^ -8
The supply Is nearly tea
per cent less than last
Year. Amazing conclu
sions prepared by Orange
Judd.
Atlantr, Oa., October 8. 191Z,
Serious shortage exlsta in the
world's crop of grain for 1913. The
supply is nearly 10 per cent less
than last year. The total deficiency ^Mi
.aggregates 1,250 million bushels oi
the five grain stup'es. This shortage
is not made t*p by potatoes, the
world's supply of which is no greater
than last year, end 300 mltlioD
bushels less than the world's normal
potato crop of 1910.
These amazing conclusions ar< :
of prices, prepared by Orange Judd
indicated by the preliminary report
upon world's crops and the future
Southern Farm nc of Atlanta as ol
October 1st, This authority etuphaI
sizes that the four brealstuBs?
wheat, oat*t rye and barley?will
this year than in 1912. 70 million
.bushels less than two years ago
but ? per cent more than in tht
; 1910 crop. .
I Ample Supply of Wltciit.
] "Unless Russia ..and Argentina
^conclude tlTe~*year with much greater
yields than now seems possible."
Southern Farming says, "the world's
wheat production will be only about
100 m.llion bushels more than last
year " This will be an increase of
only 3 per cent over the s ipplr oi
'wheal nnrdiw.vl
world In 11* 12.
j Of this increase, 50 million bushel*
is duo to the extent of which the bonanza
wheat crop of the United
States and Canada exceeds laot
[year's out-turn.
Southern Farming preliminarily
returns the Russian crop as 7l>0 million
bushels, which has s.nce beets'
continued By Tfie Russian govern|
nient's ori'.cia! pronunriamento oi
690 million. This is in sharp contrast
to the apparently misleading.,
and erroneous forecast put out in late
August h.v the Intel national Institute ,
of Agriculture at Rome of S!2 million
bushels as the Russian crop.
l.urgo Deficient y in Itye.
Of grave importance also fa the
European"shoitage in rye. Recausc
even more than wheat, is rye the
breadstuff of the teeming million# oi
Europe. Southern Farming finds thai
Europe may alive only 1.7M million
bushels of rye of the 1913 crop, oi
130 million bushe's less thau last
year. The deficit may be still largei
if latest cable advices from Rus?ift
was expected.
Heavy Redact "on on Oats Prop
The'shortage in the world's supply
of oats bids fair to be greater than
was exptctpd.
With a small crop In North
America than last year by more than'
300 rolllon bushels, and with another
100 million deficit elsewhere, the ~
world's crop of oats may be 10 pet ^ ?.. .
cent less than last year, a decrease oi
400 million bushels. Southern Farm- !
Ing reaches this conclusion in spite
of'allowtng that Russia ha# the most
prodigious oats crop in its history
?1,000 million bushels.
Barley is much less than usual far
North America, but the world's total
yield may come up to the normal
amount.
Ample Market at Good Price*
It appears from official returns of
the actual movement of grain thai
only abont 16 per cent of the world's
total wheat crop Is consumed outslda
of the countries of production.
These consuming countries at* !*'
Great Britain an^ Europe east jof
Russia which Is the very region that
suffers the heaviest relative deficiency
In 191S grain crops. Therefore^
Southern Farming believes th oar
countries will need to import between
600 and 700 million bushels of
wheat dulrng the fiscal year sodfag
