The government Crop Reporter for
January contains some very interest
ing data in tables which show the av-
erage yields of grain per acre In the
United States during the forty year pc
riod beginning in 1865 and ending with
the close of 1907. During the first five
years of this period the average yield
of the leading cereals was as follows !:
Corn, 27.6 bushels; wheat, 1913; oats,
29.2; barley, 23.S; rye. 1873. In the
last five years of the period from 1903
to 1907 the yield of the same cereals
was: Corn. 27.5; wheat, 1873; oats,
29.9; barley, 26.5; rye, 1G bushels re-
spectively. There are some helpful de-
auctions and lessons that may be
Drawn from the figures given. Among
them is this-that e more exact and
scientific type of agriculture has not
during the period served to counteract
the loss in fertility OF soils that to be-
gin with were marvelously prodigal
and responsive. The figures given also
emphasize the fact that those who are
engaged In the good work must con-
tinue preaching the gospel of :: better
type of agriculture which will restore
to the soil its lost estate of pristine
p-oductiveness. Another fact that is
brought out is that Nhere must be a
scad of redhanded agricultural sinners
who are prosecuting Il wretchedly I'M
profitable type of agriculture TO bring
the yields of the cereals named down
to so low figure. Every farmer in
the country should consider it his per-
sonal, religious and patriotic duty to
raise such crops as will put him on the
upside of these paltry averages-to be
litter up instead of puller down.
