CREDITS KOOVER FOR PACT
Lima, Peru. Alexander P. Moore,
American ambassador, sailed for
New York Wednesday on the steam
ship Santa Maria. He made his fare
well call upon President Leguia Wed
nesday morning and as Mr. Moore
was leaving the president said to
him: "You tan tell President Hoo
ver that the reconciliation of Peru
and Chile thru the Tacna-Arica
agreement was largely due to his
outstanding statesmanship."
President Leguia's farewell gift to
Mr. Moore was a fine Panama hat
which had been especially woven for
him. Among the testimonials await
ing him at the steamer was a huge
American coat of-arms fashioned out
of flowers.
Washington Decreased yields this
season in grain crops below last
! year's harvest were forecast Wed
, nesday by the department of agri
culture on t.he basis of information
on July conditions.
Of the major grains, only rye was
estimated to show an increased pro
duction, altho reports from produc
ers, included in the survey, showed
that up to July 1 the weather was
2.7 per cent more favorable for
crops than last year.
Estimates for leading crops, com
pared with the 1928 harvest, follow:
Corn, 2,662,000,000 bushels, com
pared with 2,836,000,000 harvested
last year; wheat, 834.000,000 and
902,000,000; oats, 1.247,000,000 and
1,449,000.000; barley, 317,000,000
and 357,000,000. The rye forecast
was for "41,900.000 bushels compared
with 41,700,000 a year ago.
Average Runs Lowsr.
In the country as a whole the con
dition of the crops averages 3.7 per
cent below the 1918-1927 average,
the department commented.
"On the first of July crops were
in a particularly critical condition in
the northern great plains region
where drouth and high temperatures
prevailed and prospects were declin
ing daily.
i "The estimates for this area allow
only for damage in evidence on the
1 first of the month. Allowing some
late crops still to be planted and for
i usual loss of acreage from drouth,
; flood and other causes, the total
j crop acreage harvested this season
seems likely to be about the same as
'.that harvested last season."
j The separate wheat crop esti
mates were, winter wheat, 582,000.
000. compared with 578,000.000
harvested last year; durum wheat,
58,000,000 compared with 93,000,
000 and other spring wheat 193,
000,000 and 231.000,000.
Decreased acreages were indicated
in corn, oats, rye, rice, and potatoes,
and increased acreages were plant
ed to wheat, barley, flaxseed, cotton,
hay, sweet potatoes, tobacco, beans,
peanuts and sugar beets.
