Wheat Production Shows
Heavy Increase Over Last
Year t- Hay Also Below
Average Low Condi
tions In California Gov
ernment Forecast Com
plicates. .
WASHINGTON, Juno (P)
Farm leader in congrt.'na received
with considerable interest today
the forecast of the department of
Agriculture that the winter wheat
crop on the basis of June 1 indi
cations showed a probable produc
tion of ti22,148,00U bushels more
than 4 3,000,000 buwhela Increase
over last year.
in view of the general concen
sus that the farmer's difficulties
cannot be surmounted without an
orderly disposition of the surplus,
the news that a further expansion
of the "already substantial excess of
wheat appears to be in store was
regarded by many members of con
gress as serving to focus attention
upon the course a federal farm
board would pursue in the event
one is authorized in the farm relief
legislation now approaching en
actment. indications for fruit pro
duction were declared to be
substantially lower than usual
for the country as a whole,
although in the northern bor
der territory fruits were still In
bloom Junei. Low conditions,
especially in California and
Florida were particularly
noted.
The production of apples, f
peaches, citrus friUs, prunes,
and grapes were expected to be
' beluw the average of recent
years with Indications that the
apple crop would average 10
per cent less thun thatof last
year.
The condition of the winer wheat
crop was given as 79.6 per cent of
normal, compared with 73.6 per
cent on June 1, 1928, and a ten
year average of 78.2 per cent . The
decline in reuorted condition dur-
inc May Is only a little over one-
hoif nr h t.n Ar nvnraze de-
dine of 6.8 for the month, ac-1
counting for the increased bushel
forecast.
The condition of spring wheat
was announced as 4H.8 per cent,
nearly six points above the per-
centage reported a year ago.
With a reported condition of
tame hav at 86.6 ner cent, com-1
pared with 76.6 for last June, hay
prospects were declined rather
than better than usual east of the
nian umri u.tuu.
Mlsslssippl and In the western
i ...,ti,n-nai
corn belt, averace in the soutnwesi
and poorer than usual In western
states. Wild hay conditions were
3 per cent lower than average but 8
per cent above June 1 of last year,
Pasture conditions wore reported
at 87.2 per cent, ubout equal to the
ten year average.
The oats condition was 82.0 as
compared to "8.3 per cent a ye.ir
ago and 85.2 per cent for the ten
year average. The crop was re
ported delayed by weather In many
utates.

radio operator, wanted In connec
tion with tho murder of Mrs. Vir

Following tho vessel as it enters

harhor patrol boat with five men
aboard. The strict guard over the
Admiral Benson was .ordered by
Captain J. T. Moore, acting police
cMef, on request of Chief of Detec
Kline. Los Angeles. The
...umiicr will arrive In Portland be
tween six and seven o'clock to
morrow. When the Admiral lletiRon en
tered the Columbia river tonight
and docked at Astoria, Ore., a short
search was made, but nothing of
importance was found.
Tallmun ls believed to have es
caped from the Admiral Benson
at San FranclBco when the steam
er dockod there from l.os Ange-
leB. A missing life belt, later found
In the Oakland mole, led authorl-
ties to believe ho leaied overboard.
Ilnspotcor Condefer remained with
the vessel on a slim chance that
Tallman was yet ahonrd.

derer of Mrs. Virginia Patty, weal
thv young matron, who was slain
with a brick In an npurlmeut house
a week ago, tonight was linked by
fingerprints more closely wllh thj
slaying.
Lieut. F. Itarlow, tiollco Identi
fication expert, said first comtmrl
son of pritttB taken from the hlood
stnined walls of the clothes closet
In which Mrs. Patty's body was
found hanging Tuesday and Tall
man's fingerprint classifications
received from the United States
Marino Cotps headaunrters in
Washington, . C., Indicated they
were similar.
Tallmun formerly was a radio op
orator Inthe Murine corps,. The
man already had been identified
by Mrs. W. 0. Wilson, apartment
house owner, as !'V. C. Johnson of
San Francisco," tho name given In
renting tho apnrtment. Tnllmnn's
handwriting and that of "John
son" were Identical, pollco ex
ports said. '
Frank Pntlon, shoe clerk, who
testified at the fnotiest over Mrs.
Patty's body he had been a visitor
at her expenslvo suite in an annrt
ment hotel, was eliminated from
the case when his flngorprlnts were
found unlike those in the closet.
Possibilities that two men might
have participated in the slaying
were discounted by the fact thnt
one set of prints were found at the
scene of the slaving, Detective'
Cantnln Herman ('line said.
Search for Tallman, who slipped
through police nets here and dis
appeared from the stcnniHhip Ad
miral Henson enroute lo San Fran
cisco, continued In the northern
cltv and aboard the vessel.
Cantaln Al 8latcn, detective In
charge of the Investigation, said
ho believed the man still wns on
the ship. He ordered Lieut. Frank
Condefer, who sailed from Klin
Francisco. oh the boat for Portland,
to Inspect every parcel of freight
nnd compartment uboard the ship
for the suspect.
"Search every Inch of the bonl
and every inch of the cargo to be
unloaded tomorrow morning. !o
not let a single piece leave the
