Bs the Associated Press. The Agriculture Department pre- dicts a near-record wheat acreage this year, along with & crop estimate 25 per cent higher than in 1936. The Crop Reporting Board, in a survey of May conditions, estimated yesterday wheat acreage would be 47,- 410,000, compared with 37,608,000 last year. The yield was estimated at 654,- 295,000 bushels, compared with 519,- 013,000 bushels last year. Predicting a light yield for rye, the would be close to 42,913,000 bushels. The board said Spring farming started under mixed conditions. Live stock and feed reserves have been de- pleted severely by the drought, and pastures, ranges, hay meadows, new grass seedings and Winter grains are subnormal. On the other hand, the board sald, the demand for farm products is in- creasing and shortages due to the drought are encouraging some pro- ducers. R AMERICAN U.

It added “There has been no time within the memory of any of the undersigned thet he refused a fair hearing on any proposition laid before him.” The statement said: “We recognize the insidious nature and ominous portent of current move- ments designed to stir class hostili- ties by hymns of hate; of masses feeding at a poisoned trough. “We deplore the manipulations of those who dispense with reeson and under whose p anarchy has been born as the 1llegi! te offspring of organizations and institutions once great. “Thus minded, we deem our atti- tude as doubly that of loyalty, and we reafirm our allegiance to our This young man is a lot smarter than many College Professors You see there is nothing the professor can do about hair gone for good.
