few items. and if l fall short of

were always truthful, and that
whatever he wrote could be relied
on. He never got up any such
fakes as the story about daily pa,
per at the stave factory. Perhaps
the author of that yarn meant "daily
buns" he would have been nearer
the truth if he had put it that way.

in the figures which have recently
been compiled under the direction
of the agricultural department CT
the government showing the size Of
the various leading crops grown in
this country during the past year,
not including the cotton crop,
which has already been discussed
in detail. According to the figures
sent out by the agricultural depart
ment last years wheat crop covered
39,167, 900 acres and produced 5S5,
$4,000 bushels of wheat. AS to
the other leading crops, the figures
for the year are as follows: Corn
82,7SO,000 acres, 1928, ,343,000 bush
els; oats, 20, ,l9l, 900 acres, $780,.
600 bushels, potatoes, 1922 ,30(
acres, 174,ll6,000 bushels; faxseed
100000 acres, 1881 900 bushels
The acreage of the apple crop for
the year is not given, but its total
aggregated 37,436,O0 barrels. Dc
not these figures suffice to she the
fertility and varied resources of oul
