Secretary Wilson's comments upon
the wonderful prosperity Of the farm
ers of the country have attracted gen.
eral attention to the fact that never
before have crops been harvested at
such a general high level OF produc-
ton and price
Corn, Mr.. Wilson says, has reached
its highest production, 2,7OS'Ooo'ooo
bushels. and its highest value, when
may be $l,2l6,00o. No other crop IS
worth half as much.
The nearest crop in value to corn
is that of hay the figures being SbO9,-
100000. For the preceding two years
cotton held second place, but it drops
to third rank this year. when It's
value, including seed, is expected TO
be nearly or quite $575,O0O,0Oo.
Wheat. according to the report, Is
the second in size of that grain the
country has ever produced. 6S4,000,00O
bushels, while its value, $525,OO0,OOo
is sl1 100000 more than ever before
reached.
Mr.. Wilson places oats fifth in order
of value of the years crops, the ylel'
being 939 100000 bushels, worth s2s2'
600, 900 Then in order come potatoes

try, a stupendous aggregate OF results
of brain and muscle and machine,
amounting in value to $6,4loooo'ooo'
which is s256,OO0,00o greater than the

Resides this enormous value OF
crops. the secretary states that the
yalue of farm lands has increased
81 133 600 600 since the census or

during the last five years has register
ed an increase of $3.4OO,O0o IN the

Great Prize.

Robinson Crusoe stood on the Cliff
and gazed in depressed loneliness at
the vast waters that surrounded MS
prisonlike island. Its pretty tough,
he sighed, ito be marooned afar from
civilization"
Just then he observed faithfully
Friday preparing turtle stew.
"But there is one consolation he
continued, Frightening up. Il have a
cook who cannot leave on short notice
like the cooks do in civilization"
And Robinson felt so exuberant he
went cut and tested with the parrot.

PICTURES SENT BY TELEGRAPH
"Photoqrams" the Invention of Prot.
korn Of Munich.

Photograms are photographs tele-
graphically transmitted. Prof. korn
of Munich uses as dispatcher a Sc
lenium tube revolving on a small
shaft and surrounded by glass cy-
Under, on which is wrapped the trans
parency, negative or positive, when
is to be telegraphed. Light from an
electric arc lamp is thrown through
the transparency and falls upon the
selenium tube in a small patch or
spot. Every part of the tube and
every part of the photograph passes
in turn under the spot OF light. Inc
receiver is cylinder carrying a sen
sitive film, revolving, and also tfaV-
cling along the line of its axis at the
same speed as the transmitting cy-
Under. Near it is vacuum tube llght
shielded by inactive material, except
for tiny window whence ray or
light falls upon the revolving sensitive
film. The strength Of this light con
stantly varies, as it is controlled by
the electric current, which in turn
is controlled by the light playing
through the transmitters transparency
upon the selenium coil. Every part
of the receiving sensitive cylinder Is
exposed in turn and only requires de
velopment to give negative or posi-
tive.

! RIVAL FOR YANKEE FARMERS
Enlightened Russian Peasant Ne"
Factor in World.

Illustrations of the worlds economic
solidarity are the recent Russian IN
fuences on the security markets
everywhere. Russian enlightenment
and freedom promise TO make mark
ed impressions on future American
farming. Henry d. Baker says that
agriculture now gives employment to
87h per cent of Russia's population,
but Russian agriculture is now IN
terrible condition. The Russian peas
ant enlightened will prove a powerful
rival TO the Yankee farmer. Inc
average return per hectare of land
in Russia is said to be 3S2 kilos,
while the German return is 1900 kllos.
Russia has to use % per cent OF her
harvest as seed for future sowing,
which is about double what other ma
lions use. Curiously, even IN the
direst times, like during the recent
war and late chaotic conditions, Rus-
STA still makes heavy exports OF
wheat This doubtless is because
wheat is one of the chief quick assets
of the country. The Russian peasant
nv have wheat to export to England
when they scarcely can afford to buy
rye bread for their own hamlets. Their
exports of wheat will help pay the
| interest on their nations enormous
! foreign obligations, but Individual!
they yield trifling cash returns.

PUT BRIDAL
COUPLE OUT
OF CHURCH

Albany. y. y, July 27.-Turned out OF
Trinity Episcopal church. Albany, y. Y.
Tues night because the groom laughed
just as the marriage ceremony was 10 be-
gin, Miss Belle Maxon. a Boston chorus
girl and Harry Martin Hollister OF New
York, an eloping couple proceeded. after
having been refused by several clergy
men. 10 the residence OF the Rev. Frank
J. Knapp, assistant rector OF st. Peters
church, and there were married with due
solemnity.
They then sent a message 20 the brides
mother. Mrs. Robert Maxon OF Ringgold
street, Boston. and notified Albany news
papers OF lheir elopement, so that their
friends might know OF II.
Hollister's father is prosperous busi-
ress man of New York city. whose place
OF business Is at SO and So West street.
Mrs. Hollister Is said 10 be the daughter
OF prominent Boston society people.
Rev. Mr.. Mclean had reached that part
OF the ceremony where the groom prom
ises 10 take the bride for better or for
worse, when he was startled by a loud
guffaw from Hollster
Looking at the prospective groom In
surprise he admonshed him OF the sol
emnity or the OCCASION and told him
that the ceremony could not proceed un-
less he was more decorous.
Miss Maxon begged the young man 10
behave, and the clergyman again pro-
ceeded with the ceremony. Hollister again
broke out in a laugh, which greatly an
gered the clergyman.
lie stopped the ceremony instantly and
told both 10 leave the church. This
brought Hollister 10 his senses. and both
he and Miss Msxon begged the clergy
man 10 proceed with the ceremony, but
Mr. Mclean refused and tore mp the mar
riage certificate, which had already been
made out.
The couple then left the church and
called upon a number OF cergxmen, who
refused 10 act. Al about midnight Hol-
lister and Miss Maxon drove up 10 the
residence Of the Rev. Mr.. Knapp on State
street
The clergyman was routed out Of bed.
and after going through the usual ques-
tions the ceremony was performed in the
house without interruption.
The Rev. Mr. Mclean or Trinity church
said last night that, In his opinion Hol-
lister did OF seem 10 realize the i'm
portsnce Of the step he was about to
take. 1t was for this reason only that
he refused 20 perform the ceremony
The refusal of Mr.. Mclean TO act ap-
parently had n SOLDERING effect upon Hol-
lister. for tho Rev. Mr.. Knapp said last
night that the party was IN" most solemn
bridal party he had ever seen and that
the occasion IN his home at midnight
seemed 10 hc more like a funeral than
wedding ceremony.
