Wheat Crop Her Estimate Chicago woman who re? fused to change her mind had the graintrade in a dither today. Mrs. Eileen Hennington Millet, the country's only prominent inine grain expert, will not ercise a lady's least not yet.

Instead, she sticks to her own slightly pessimistic ideas about this season's wheat harvest, other crop authorities and the ment of agriculture notwithstanding. Won't Revise Estimate Mrs. Miller, diminutive, curly headed mother of a 6-year-old son, figuratively stomped a tiny fool and shouted "No!" to fellow crop experts here and in Washington who would not be as pessimistic as she about probable winter wheat production this season. And that "No" carried weight because of her long experience in judging crops before harvesters go to work. About 10 days ago.

Mrs. Miller, whose business requires her to go into the fields throughout the U. 15. grain and cotton belts in forecasting prospective production, predicted the winter wheat harvest would total 492,000,000 bushels compared with 687,000,000 produced last season. A few days later five other Chicago crop out with estimates ranging from 515,000,000 to 536,000,000.

Many Fields Gone This week Mrs. Miller began' her third tour of the belt and reported inclined, to raise her estimate to any appreciable extent although conceding that recent rains might improve conditions in some areas. "Wheat is shot in some places," she asserted. She messaged her office here from Kansas today that there was very little wheat left for harvest in some locatuties. The department of agriculture's monthly report based on conditions as of June 1, forecast a winter wheat crop of 523,431,000, about 31,000,000 larger than the Miller tigure.

N.

fledging officers who will direct the future might of America's armies heard President Roosevelt assert today that while King George's visit had emphasized that nations without fears could be friendly, this country's "desire for peace must never be mistaken for weakness." During recent months, Mr. Roosevelt told the graduating class at the United States Military Academy, "international political considerations have required still greater emphasis upon the vitalization of our defense, for we have had dramatic illustrations of the fate of undefended nations." Not by name did he mention Austria, Czecho-Slovakia or Memel, the states absorbed in whole or in part by the German reich, nor did he speak of international concern over those assimilations. And he referred to the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to the United States as a "cour- teeous recognition of the cordiality and" good will which prevails between two great nations." He added: Without Fear "Its significance lay in the fact that friendship could exist between the two countries since both were without fear. To achieve that result, strength is needed: strength which comes, not from arms alone, but from restraint, understanding and cooperation which in turn are the product of trained and disciplined minds." Although Mr. Roosevelt declared that "we seek peace by honorable and pacific conduct of our international affairs," he laid stress anew America's uitention to build up her armed forces.

"The machine age has laid its grip upon the world's armies; and technical developments have demanded the modernization of our military establishments, a program which has been prosecuted vigorously during the past six years," he said. Men Still Vital Standing on a flag-draped "plat- form In West Point's spacious stone armory, looking down into the faces of members of the graduating class, to whom he presented diplomas a few minutes later, the chief executive declared the coming of the machine did not mean "that we shall ever have a robot war from which the primary human elements, courage, heroism, intelligence and morale, will have departed." from submerging men," he said, "the modern developments emphasize their responsibilities. Recent conflicts in Europe, the Far East and Africa bear witness to the fact that the individual soldier remains the controlling factor." The object of developing aviation, motorization and mechanization, the president asserted, is to attain.the highest possible degree of mobility. He explained that mobility of armaments was essential to the United States because even if fixed defensive installations at vital, strategic centers were desirable, the vast territorial expanses of America would make their maintenance economically impracticable. Greeted By Salute A battery of field artillery roared a 21-gun salute as the president entered the academy grounds through the south gate.
