B woms fear of the Hesslan fly and to WINTER WHEAT CROP Fishermen Get Merry Ha-Ha and Reporters Do Not Get That Much SENATE ARMY BILL MANY MILLIONLESS Forecast of Yield on Basis of Con- ditions May First About Half Billion Bushels, REDUCTION IN ACREAGE LARGE WASHINGTON, May 8,—The win- | ter wheat crop this year promises to yield 495,280,000 bushels, the De- | rertment of Agriculture announced today, basing its forecast on the con- didon of the erop May 1. Tue output | will probably be above or below | those figures according to the change | in conditions from now until time of harvest, Today's forecast com- | pures with 655,045,000 bushels har- vested lust year, the greatest winter | wheat crop ever gathered In this ccuntry, and with a forecast of 540, 000,000 bushels made last December before the crop entered the winter, from which it emerged in rather poor condition, showing a decline of 9.4 puints compared with the ten-year- everage decline of 3.5 points, On| the erop's condition April 1 a fore-| cost of 4‘15 000,000 bushels was rade by (hr bureau of crop esti- mates, assuming average abandon- | ment of acreage and average influ- ences on the crop to harvesting time. The aren of winter wheat to be hi vested is entimated at about 5,000,000 acres | an a remult of the May 1 canvass. The nren planted Inst fall was 57,26,000 acres, & decresss of 4704000 meres from the record area of the 1916 erop and compares with a yearly average of 3,088,000 ncres in the preceding five years, The condition of winter wheat on May 1 was 824 per cent of a normal, com- pared with 753 on April 1 last, 929 on May 1 last r and ¥.5, the ten-year May 1 wvernge. ‘That condition s indi- oative of a yleld of 151 bushels an acre, compared with 162 bushala barvested Jast year and 19 bushels in 2014, The large reduction in aoreage sown Jast fall was attributed partly to un- favorable weather for seeding, tangled condition of much corn land which other- wise would have been sown to wheat, | lurge supplies of wheat on hand, A wet, cold fall, causing poor seed beds and poor start. for wintering, resulted in & low condition this spring. Much of the | crop was sown late and the Hessinn ny‘ was reported present and active in many sections of the southern part of the win. tor wheat belt, COlimatic conditions were harder on late sown, the winter covering | was lghter than usual and the injury | from freezing and thawing greater than in previous years.

Neither Silk, nor Linen, nor any other known Fabric, yet dis- covered is so for this pur- pose, as Cotton, —and choice long- fibred Cotton is the best material that money can buy for Tire Fabric. “ E use nothing less in Goodrich Tires, and test every foot of it up to 200 lbs. to the Square Inch, before we percolate it with the most adhesive Rubber Com- pound ever made for this pur; We then shape this rubber- ized Long - Fib Fabric into Tires, with scrupulous care to have the tension on each square inch of fabrie precisely the same. That tension is controlled by a machine as sensitive as the eye, and infinitely more precise than the handwork of the most skilled Operative could make it. To do this work we have the most highly-trained men in the Rubber Industry, —tra'od in the Precision_that practice and our 45-year EXPERIENCE make perfect, “ 0 Tire Manufacturer, if he received a price of $200 per Tire, could put hetter Fabric into the Walls of his Tires, use greater care, more sensitively adjusted Tension deviges, or more adhe sive Rubber between each layer of fabrie, Because, we know the vital Importance of THE BEST in this part of the Tire, and use it there wnaparingly, | GOODRICH "7 Goodrich “Fair-List” ll.A(k SAFETY. =3 ! 0 x3) 3Mxin Mxd Mad 36 xdh ATxSs Mubh « Ford Sizes Prices TREADS ‘51040 $13.40 $156.48 $22.00 $22.40 $31.60 $37.38 $50.60 But,~— notwithstanding all this,—the FABRIC is the part of the Tire which go::/irat Because the sides of the Tire do most of the work in running, —bending and stretching a mil- lion times an hour, in scores of different directions, This bending of the sides causes F'riction between the lay- ers of Canvas working against each other,—Friction causes Heat ~the Heat over-cures and dries out the Rubber Adhesive between layers, which then separate from each other, in spots, the threads weakening or wearing out chafing against each other.
