Present Yield Not Half Up to
Standard, Says Secretary
Of Agriculture

That the farms of the United States
are not producing half what they should

national way, for the death OF the King
has been discounted in the markets for
many years. but to the Empires senti-

Last Words of Dying King
Nearly all the members of the King .

after his father had breathed his last.
He dispatched to the Lord Mayor Of
London the announcement Of Edward

The physicians soon afterward issued
their official bulletin, which was az

"May 9, 1850 p. M.-His Majesty,
