acres has had a decidedly better wheat
yield than was anticipated in May. - Jane
roina are largely responsible for this
improvement as well as for the recent
excellent condition of corn in Kansas
Missouri and Arkansas. The rain also
greatly improved the condition of. the
Kaw valley potato crop in Kansas.
Arkansas Reports Good.
Reports received from Arkansas In
dicate a good corn crop in that State
although Arkansas corn is somewhat be-
laud the crop in other States owing to
it excessive early rains. Arkansas ac-
' cording to these reports is exporting
'v ; A large quantities of garden produce and

Missouri's corn crop this year shows
au increased acreage of 11 per cent over

According to telegraphic reports from
the Kast the movement of freight cars

make possible a much more rapid move

to export centers.
Famous Italian Flier
Made Seasick in Flight
From Rome to Tokio
Associated Press lcport.
TOKIt Lieutenant Ferrarin one of
the two fumous Italian airmen who flew
from Koine to Tokio encountered such
rough air conditions while crossing the
li't gtli of Korea that they niuile .liim sea-
sick. The tempest met in the Ilakono
mountains was unparalleled. .
"In my cntiri' tlyiiis experieuce"" ho
said. "1 had never before met with such
conditions. The air was so disturbed
over Korea that the machine pitched like
a smnll bont in a heavy swell and for the
liist time in my life 1 knew what it was
to he seasick. A soon as I rca hed the
straits where au escort of .biimnesc
destroyers was waiting for me the air
conditions improved and the rest of my
flight to Tokio except fir the s! uin in
the Ilukone was made iu ideal weather."
One of the most difficult parts of his
flight to Tokio he explained -was be-
tween Rangoon and linngkok. where
very heavy fogs were encountered link-
ing it extremely difficult to keep orl the
course l'etween I Iwiu' 'anil 'Hanoi'
Lieutenant Ferrarin was forced .to fol-
low a train for about three hours in or-
der to keep on the rijlit course.
"The uiost exciting part of . my trip
occuiTcd in Asii Minor" he said "about
UH) miles from Alepvo 1 was sirbjecned
to heavy machine gun fire by the Arab
pn ; . A?niii in ltaluchistan when 1
ii -irced to land on account of minor
eiit'iie trouble I was captured by the
natives imprisoned and not allowed to
leave until 1 succeeded in establishing my
identity. They thought 1 wns a British
nviator but when they learned I was au
Italian 1 was liberated.''

Associated l'rcss Report.
I'OKOSl'KA Japan. The Japanese
battleship Mutso recently launched here
is closely comparable with the newest
American battleship the Maryland
launched at Newport News in March.
Itoth warships however are considerably
smaller n:id le s speedy than the great
Rritish battleship cruiser Hood launched
oj the Clyde iu .' iiKiist 1018. The
Kmd on the other hand is armed with
. 15-inch guns in her main battery while
the Mutsu and the Maryland will have
' nu equal number of 10-inch rifles.
The Hood continues to be the largest
warship afloat a distinction she will hold
until the Massachusetts class of dread-
naught conies into United 'States navy
service iu 1921-22.
A comparison of tonnage length speed
and guns of the three great ships shows:
