fcorober of bulletins and letters have
teea received, however, explaining Just
irfaat these lists will contain and the
Opinion of the military authorities as
to what constitute desertion, rays the
if id-west Veteran.
It ia asserted by the department that

certified from the original records
from 489,000 to 15.r.,000, it has gone as

that thope who have not taken advan
tage of the widely-advertised opportu
nity to demonstrate that their names
should not be there cannot now claim
t be required to prove their inno
eease since service afterwards will not
xcv.se previous flagrant misconduct.
One of the bulletins says in part:
"Although as has been repeatedly
tplained, the publication by the war
-department of the lists of men charged
-with dewrtlon from the draft is in re
t$on8e to m widespread demand from
uiotic societies, from the relatives
of men who did their full duty and
"who, in many cases, gave up their lives

from the general public, nevertheless,
sow that the lists are actually being
Jmbliphed, the department, strangely
teaough is being subjected to a con
stant Are of lrastic criticism for hav
ing adopted this means of bringing to
trial the men who succeeded in evad
ing their duty to their country in its
liour of peril. It is now insisted that
the lints should never have been pub
lished at all until the department was
absolutely convinced that there" ap
peared thereon the name of no man
who actually rendered either military
j or naval service during the period of
the world war. .
"In this connection, attention is
again invited to the definition of the
term 'Deserters from the draft'

failed to report for military servic
at a specified time and place, althougl
ordered by the draft authorities to d
so.
"Under the law these men are hel
to have been inducted into the military
service of the United States as of the
date on which they were ordered to
report, and, since they have never been
discharged from such service, they are
still under military jurisdiction and
hence are liable to trial by general
court-martial for their offense of de
sertion. "As a matter of fact, therefore, the
department would have been entirely
warranted in including in the published
lists of men charged with desertion
from the draft the name of every
registrant who failed to report for
military service at the time and place
specified in the notice sent to him by
his local board, and whether or not
he subsequently served honorably in
the army, navy or marine corps of the
United States or in the naval or mili
tary forces of the allied powers. Un
der the law and the selective service
regulations every person whose status
is that of a deserter from the draft,
within the terms of the foregoing
definition, is a deserter from the draft,
regardless of any subsequent honora
ble service which he may have rend
ered."
June 1 Crop Report
Shows Decrease in
1921Whcat Crop
A winter wheat condition indicating
slightly less than an average yield, re
duced acreage of spring wheat, slight
increase in acreage of oats with a con
dition seven points below the average,
rye and barley in satisfactory condi
tion, no change in the acreages of
clover and alfalfa and an extremely
short fruit crop are the main points
in the June 1 crop report released by
A. E. Anderson of the bureau of eror
estimates and Leo Stuhr, secretary of
the Nebraska department of agricul
ture. Winter wheat lost 17 points in May.
The June 1 condition is 75 per cent a
compared to 92 per cent a month ago
and 84 per cent the ten year average
for this date. This condition indicates
a crop of 48,525,000 bushels as com
pared to 58,029,00 bushels last year.
K normal or full crop on present acre
ge and date would be 64,700,00 bush
Is. Most of the reports upon which
his estimate is based were made prev
ous to the recent rains and any mod
rate decline in condition that may fol
ow between now and harvest may be
ibsorbed by the improvement in con
dition since the rain. Red rust is gen
eral, but light. An early harvest is
?xpected.
A decrease of 10 per cent in the
irreage of spring wheat is reported.
The total of 232,000 acres in spring
wheat is one of the lowest on record.
The growing of spring wheat is lim
ited now largely to the northern and
western sections of the state. The con
dition of 88 per cent promises a cjrop
of 2,858,000 bushels as compared to
2,451,000 bushels last year. The fore
cast for all wheat is 51,383,000 bushels
compared to C0,4S0,000 bushels last
year.
The acreage of oats is slightly larg
er than a year ago and is estimated to
be 2,424,000 acres as compared to 2,
400,000 acres last year. Some oats
were damaged by the pring freezes
and the growth checked somewhat by
insufficient rainfall in a few of the
counties. However, the condition has
improved and is now 86 per cent which
should give a producition of 69,835,000
bushels as compared to 83,040,000
busneln last-year.
Corn was damaged in some sections
by heavy rains, but in general the
stand and condition are very good. A
report on acreage will be made next
month.
The acreage of barley is reported
to be the same as a year ago, or 256,
000 acres. The condition of 87 per
cent indicates a crop of 6,120,000 bush
els as compared to 7,424,000 bushels a
year ago. The condition of rye ia 90
per cent, forecasting a crop of 4,113,
000 bushels as compared to 3,722,000
bushels last year.
The acreages of alfalfa and clover
are reported to be the same as last
year. Some of the alfalfa was plowed
up but has been replaced by seeding
of new fields. Iast year Nebraska had
a total of 1,233,000 acres in alfalfa,
which was not only the highest on
record, but unexceeded by any other
-tate. The condition of the first crop
is 89 per cent. The yield is not as
good as last year's yield. The con
ditio! if all hay is 89 per cent, pas
ture M per cent.
The condition of field, beans Is 86
per cent; cabbages, 88 per cent; onions
91 per cent; watermelons, 88 per cent;
muskmelons and cantaloupes, 87 per
cent; sugar beets, 90 per ccnt- The
sugar beet section was short of ; rain
fall this spring, but the condition is
improving.
The fruit frops are rather light out
side of some small fruits. The farm
apple crop condition is 15 per cent as
compared to the ten year average of
69 per cent for this date. The com
mercial crop is very light also. The
heavy crop of apples diminished the
prospects of three .weeks ago, very
materially. The other tree fruits are
nearly failures. Strawberries, black
berries and raspberries and grapes are
quite promising.
Estimates on important crops for
the United States are as follows: The
condition of winter wheat is 77.9 per
cent as compared to 88.8 per cent last
month and forecasts a production of
678,196,000 bushels as compared to
577,763,000. bushels last year. The
acreage of oats is 44,829,000 acres,
compared to 43,323,000 acres last year
and the condition of 85.7 per cent fore
casts a cron of 1.404.922.000 bushels as
'compared to 1,526,055,000 bushels last
year. Spring wheat is estimated at
1 18,023,000 acres compared to 19,419,- i
1 000 acres last year and the condition
j of 93.4 per cent indicates a crop of ,
'251,289,000 bushels compared to 209,-. i
365,000 bushels last year. All wheat, 1
1 829,485,000 bushels asrainst 787,128,000 !
bushels last year. The forecast fori
barley is 190,661,000 bushels compared I
to 202,024,000 bushels last year. Rye
production is estimated to be 70,977,
000 bushels compared to 69,318,000
bushels last year. The condition of
apples is 41.8 per cent; all hay, 85 per
cent; clover hay, 81.5 per cent; alfalfa
87.8 per cent; peaches, 45.5 per cent;
pears, 43.8 per cent and pasture, 90.1
per cent.
