Broken by Three Good Rains In May. Dallas, Texas, June 8.?The long drought which has prevailed in West Texas for two or more years, causing ittle less than disaster to the cattle rtiising industry of Texas, has beer. j>artly if not wholly broken. Three mod, soaking rains fell in that dis? trict within the first seventeen day* of May. Grass is now coming out, water holes have been partly filled and a general spirit of optimism pre vails with the cattlemen, m^.ny o whom staked fortunes on the effort tc hold out. Ranchmen, who had waited from month to month for the rains ship? ped thousands of heads of cattle on of this district to other ranges. Man: dollars were apent by the stockmen on feed to keep alive thoso few cat? tle that remained on the ranges. The> declare that had the rain been delay od another six weeks, the plains o Texas would have been practlcall> deserted of cattle. All of Texas west of a line drawi north and south through San Antonit ?onstituted the drought district, prac tically all of which is devoted to tlu attle raising industry. Part of th list riet, however, contains some ag ricultural land, devoted mostly U truck farming. Little cotton or cor' is grown. The drought began in some section: late in the summer of 1914, and al nost ever since the cattlemen havt iiad a light on their hands to save tin acids with which the ranches wer? populated at that time. In 1915 tin dtuatlon grew more serious and th rainfall was far below normal. Earl> in 1916 a large part of the district had fair rains, but there were man> arge areas which had none and oth? ers where the rain fell so rapidly tha it did little good. Throughout tin summer of 1916. all through 1917 am well into 19 IS conditions grew steadily worse. Pioneers of West Texas declare ii was the worst dry spell that has fall- ] on over that section in a century Dust storms which swept the sectioi i few weeks prior to the rains wer? the worst and most severe experiene t>d in a generation. In San AngelC ike dust storm was so severe that al outside work had to be suspended and the sky was so dark that it was neces? sary to use electric lights for indooi work. A general influx of cattle which had been shipped out of West Texas, is ex pected to begin soon. Cattlemen how? ever, point out that it will require years to stock the ranches as before the drought hit the ranges. COLD WAVE OVER GERMANY. (.rain. Fruit ami Potato Crops Re? ported Damaged.

Classification m Be Revised?Mhny Men in Class Four to Be Put lit Class One or Two. Washington, June 7.?A general revision of classifications under the selective draft act was instituted to? day by Gen. Crowder when he tele? graphed the governors of all the States ordering an investigation "to determine the reason for the small number of registrants in Class One in some local boards. Thousands of men now in Class Four should be put in Class One or Two, he said. It is expected that the rearrange? ment will bring'into class one more than five hundred thousand men. It is announced that the class of 1918 registrants will not be allowed to en? list In the navy or marine corps, No voluntary inductions will be granted until the order of serial numbers has been assigned. DEFENDS COTTON PLANTER. Washington, June 7.?Speaking in the house today Representative Ste? venson, of South Carolina, denounced as untrue statements that cotton pro? ducers of the South are escaping tax? ation "because of influence in con? gress." Mr. Stevenson took a rfcent edito? rial in a Washington newspaper, which charged that cotton growers are not, paying their just proportion of taxes, as his text, and told the house that Wall Street speculators would be pleased to see an overabundance of cotton on the market, which would reduce the price of the raw material ind add to the profits of manufactur? ers of materials from raw cotton. "The embargo on shipmens of cot? ton on railroads was followed by the calling of all loans on cotton by the ?anks," Mr. Stevenson said. "The cot? ton is becoming more valuable and the only reason for a desire to call the loans Is to force a sufficient amount on the market to depress the price, which can only add to the 300 per cent profit already being made by the man? ufacturers. "The statement that cotton farmers i escape taX&tion because of their influ? ence in congress is not true, if it means that they are not burdened with war taxes. It the Wall Street Sentry desire that a specific tax be levied on each pound of cotton, on .^ach bushel of wheat and on each yard of cloth, they would put these people In a different class and tax ,hem specially. That would be a poor return for the patriotism which hey show in endeavoring to produce the things which the government -ays are necessary to win the war." Mr. Stevenson called attention to igures showing that the cotton grow? ers produaed from August I to April 30 last, cotton seed meal to the extent, of 1,912,605 tons and refined oil to che extent of 1,007,887,195 pounds.

Washington, June 7.?A bumper wheat crop this year, which before harvest may develop into a produc? tion of a billion bushels, was forecast today by the department of agricul? ture in its June crop report, giving the first indication of the size of this year's spring wheat output. Basing its estimate on June 1 con? dition, the department forecast a total wheat production of 931,000,000 bush? els, which would place this year's har? vest as the second largest in the history of the country. Experts of the government, aiming for a billion-bush? el crop to help in feeding the armies and civilian populations Of the Allies, pointed to the development of the rec? ord crop of 1915 to substantiate their hopes for a crop equal to that. The acreage sown to spring wheat; this year is larger by L\'J0O,000 acres than ever sown before. The condition of the crop on June 1 was 95.2 per cent of a normal, or 1.9 per cent bet? ter than the ten-year average. A pro? duction of 344,000,000 bushels were forecast. That is 111,000,000 bushels , more than harvested last year and only about 7,000,000 bushels less than i the record spring's wheat harvest of 1915. Winter wheat growing on the sec? ond largest acreage ever plaiited, showed a condition 3 per cent better than the ten-year average, with 83.6 l>er cent of normal. A pi oduction of 5X7,000,000 bushels was forecast, which is 15,000,000 bushels more than forecast from conditions existing May 1. The oat crop also promises to be of record proportions. On an acreage 2.1 per cent larger than last year, when the record crop?1,587,000,000 bush? els?was grown. June 1 conditions warrant a forecast of 1,500,000,000 bushels. Only last year's and the crop of 1915 exceeded that quantity. 1 .ye production will be a record, the forecast being 81,000,000 bushels, whioh is slightly less than was fore cist in May.
