CROPS Os AMERICA
WORTH 12 BILLION
WALLACE REPORTS
WASHINGTON, Dec. B.—Pros
pects are that the gross income from
farm products of the nation for the
crop year of 1924 may reach $12,000,
000,000, compared with $11,500,000,
000 in 1924 and $9,550,000,000 in 1922,
the agriculture department states in
its annual report made public here
today.
The report was prepared under the
direction»of the late Secretary Henry
C. Wallace and is presented to the
president in
The report declares that American
agriculture is in the best position it
has been since 1920. Prices of many
crops are at the highest point in four
years, and costs of production have
declined from the high point of the
depression peroid.
This year’s rarvest was in many
respects the finest in five years.
Though not the greatest in volume
of products it was the best balanced
and represented the best income.
The showing of 1924, the report
says, brings agricultural prosperity
nearer, although the improvement it
represents has not yet lasted long
enough to produce any marked bet
terment in the finances of the farm
er.
Decline in Acreage
The total acreage in all crops in
1924 is estimated to have been about
370,000,000 acres. This was a decline
of about 3,000,000 acres from the’
area planted in 1923 and a decline
of 6,000,000 acres from the area
planted in 1919 when the last census
wa staken..
In the main, says the report, the
year will bring increased income to
the surplus grain producing regions,
to the corn belt, and possibly to the
cotton states. The tobacco, fruit,
vegetable, and dairy producing states
probable will not contribute much to
the estimated increase in the gross
agricultural income of the year.
The gros sincome from agricul
tural production in the United
States for the crop year 1924-25 may
be $500,000,000 more than that of
last year. Returns on the estimat
ed present value of farm capital
from this income, if operating costs
were not greater than those of the
crop year of 1923-24, would amount
to 3.8 per cent. This return, the
report notes, is much below the aver
age return to other capital. It
adds, moreover, that production
costs for 1924-25 may turn out to
be slightly greater than those for
the preceding year.
Notable Improvement
Nevertheless, the showing is de
clared gratifying when compared
with that of the last few years.
The report continues:
“Nature has beep good to most
of the wheat farmers of the United
States this year. She has given
them large yields per acre and a to
tal crop larger than that of last
year on a reduced acreage. Reduced
yields in foreign countries have
brought about a market situation in
which the American farmers are re
ceiving higher prices for a larger
crop. It seems reasonable to ex
pect that the price farmers-will re
ceive for this year’s crop will aver
age about $1.15 or better for the
year. At this price the cash income
from t|?e wheat crop, as estimated
October 1 would amount to about
$<800,000,000 compared with approx-,
imately $570,000,0000 last vear.”
N. Y. Woman Fails
To Declare European
Gems; $ 120,000 Fine
NEW YORK. Dec. B.—Mrs. Irving
I. Bloomingdale, wife of the treas
urer of the department store of that
name here, must pay a fine of $120,-
000 to recover undeclared jewels
I valued at $60,000 taken from her
baggage when she returned from
Europe November 4. The affair was
kept from the public until today be
cause of efforts to effect a compro
mise, but United States Appraiser
Kracke admitted today the jewels
are being held.
Mrs. Bloomingdale left town with
j her husband yesterday, refusing to
| comment on the seizure.
The tip came from special agents
of the treasury department in Paris,
who were advised by a jeweler that
the New York woman had made con
siderable purchases at his shop. A
string of exceptionally matched
pearls was the principal articles of
jewelry seized.
Arriving here, Mrs. Bloomingdale
left the pier. A maid who remained
behind to check the baggage denied
knowledge of the pearls and later
protested, according to customs of
ficials, that they had been purchased
in this country.

Exclusion Can’t Break
Ties With His Country,
Says Japanese Pastor
“Not even the hasty action of con
gress in passing the Japanese exclu
sion act can sever the ties of affec
tion between the United States and
Japan,” declared the Rev. K. Tsu
mashima, pastor of Blanche Con
gregational church, of Tokio, in an
address before the adult Bible class
of the Martha Brown Memorial
Methodist church Sunday morning.
He is in Atlanta attending the Fed
eral Council of Churches.
The many things the United
States has done for Japan were enu
merated as reasons why Japan and
America will continue on friendly
terms.
“American warships rushed in
with food, clothing, shelter and med
ical supplies when the Japanese
earthquake took its toll of 150,000
lives and $10,000,000,000 in property
damage,” he said.
Mr. Tsumashima explained fur
ther that an American persuaded
Japan to open her doors to Christi
anity and to the world seventy years
ago; that Japanese young men and
women have obtained their education
in the. United States; that America
sent the first missionaries to Japan,
and that it was President Roosevelt
who brought the war to a close be
tween Russia and Japan.
“This union of east and west wa.s
wrought by God,” he declared, “arid
'what God hath joined together let
no man put asunder.’ ”

Bandit Chapman Is
Identified as Gunman
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y„ Dec. 8.
Rowland Bennett, policeman, who
was shot and robbed of his revolver
while patroling his best Saturday
night, yesterday identified the rob
ber from photographs' of criminals at

vict who has been hunted by police,
throughout the east as a suspected
murderer. Chapman is accused of
shooting and killing a patrolman in
an attempted robbery of a new Brit
ain, Conn., department store October

Convicted of participating in a sl,-
500,000 robbery of a mail truck in
New York in 1921, Chapman was sen
tenced to serve 25 years in Atlanta
penitentiary. He escaped in March,
1923, after serving six months. Cap

SECRECY ENVELOPS
OFFICERS’PROBEOF
BIRMINGHAM CRIME
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 8.
While it was said at the office of
Solicitor Ben Perry today that the
state was satisfied with its progress
in the inquiry into the slaying of
Mrs. Annie Lou\Edwards, wife of a
I Fairfield physician, last Tuesday, no
announcement was forthcoming as
to when a preliminary hearing would
■ be granted Dr. George T. Edwards,
husband of the woman, who is held
in connection with the case. Mean
time, Dr. Edwards was reported by
the warden of the Bessemer jail as
1 sleeping well, eating three full meals
a day and enjoying his pipe together
with visits from scores of friends.
Neither the prisoner nor his chief
attorney, George Ross, had anything
to say.
Secrecy has surrounded the move
ments of investigating officers from
the outset, but today the veil was
drawn closer and every move made
was under cover. It is known, how
ever, that official inquiry is being
made into the domestic life of Dr.
Edwards and Mrs. Edwards Hnd into
the habits of the physician.
A negro servant in the Edwards
home was questioned at length yes
terday. The name of this servant
was not divulged. Official cogniz
ance was also taken of reports that
other servants had access to the Ed
wards home and that some of these
latter persons knew something about
the use of drugs.
Under the law, Dr. Edwards must
be granted a preliminary hearing not
later than Thursday unless a con
tinuance of the case is agreed upon
or ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
Solicitor Perry left his office hur
riedly this morning in his automo
bile. Besides a statement by his of
fice that the solicitor was on a mis
sion connected with the case, noth
ing was learned of Mr. Perry's
movements. The solicitor spent yes
terday in Montgomrey, which city

Gertrude Jackson, negro cook in
the Edwards’ home, was questioned
at length today at Fairfield by So
licitor Perry. sVhether the solicitor
gained information bearing on the
case from the woman was not sated.
A report that a revolver of large
caliber for which officers had been
searching had been found, could not
