MAPPING: THE CROPS
Agricultural Products of the
Country Portrayed.
PUBLICATION JUST ISSUED
Demand by the Schools for Govern
ment Bulletin.
ANOTHER EDITION PROBABLE
Compilation Prepared by Middleton
Smith of the Bureau of Statistics.
Interesting Facts Revealed.
ANOTHER EDITION PROBABLE

Such enormous figures have been reach
ed by the agricultural products of the
United States that numbers have ceased
to convey an impression to the mind. SO
the Department of Agriculture has issued
a bulletin entitled agricultural Graph
les 1t is volume without text, and
with eighty eight maps shows the leading
agricultural products of the United States
as whole and by states. In some cases
where the acreage of improved and un-
improved farms is shown there is an in
ner black circle showing the smaller
figure and an outer thin circle showing
the larger.
In some cases, as in the production OF
wheat which is grown throughout the
world there is map of the world, and
the production is shown by countries.
The figures accompanying the graphic cir
ces, are given in thousands or in millions
of bushels. as is the case with the wheat
and corn crops.
The compilation is the work of Middle
ton Smith of the bureau of statistics. 1t
represents an enormous amount of work.
and is tie first time that any government
has attempted such worldwide repre-
sentation of statistics in graphic form.
The fact that there is such bulletin in
existence has just begun to be known
among school teachers throughout the
country. and there are more requests for
copies for school use than can be sup
piled, so that the publication. probably
will have to be put through another
edition.

FOOT BALL PLAYER DIES
IN MOTHERS PRESENCE
Fatal Accident in Game. at
Winsted, Conn.,, Yester-
day Afternoon.

WINSTED, Conn, November %
Harry Lee, seventeen years old, pupil
at the Gilbert Preparatory School here,
received a fractured skull in foot ball
game at the school yesterday, and died
on, the field before medical aid could
reaoh him. ...-.
Lee was playing in a match between
the Tierney Cadets and a team COM
posed principally of boys of the Gilbert
School. The game proved exciting and
was stubbornly contested, as it was
preliminary to the battle between VIM
sted and Great Darlington. Mass. a
match considered Of much Importance
here. --." t-
Playing fullback, Lee had done most
of the work for the independents At
the beginning of the third period with
the score IL to = against his team, Lee
got the ball after the first scrimmage
Following the kickoff, and, making a
when he was tackled and downed. Sew
ieral players fell on top of him.
Futile Effort to- Resume Play.
After the pile: of players had risen
from him, Lee. rose, took step and
shouted: Come on fellows! I'm not
hurt Then he staggered and fell UNI
conscious to the ground.
Seeing that Lee was in bad way, the
players stopped their game to give him
assistance Water was Immediately APP
pied to his head and physician was
summoned.
Within five minutes of the time he
was thrown in the tackle the boy died.
The game was played on the base ball
field of the Gilbert School and the ground
is very stony in places 1t is thought
that in his fall Lee, who had lost dis
headgear in the run, struck one of the
stones which penetrated his skull. Cor
ouer S. A. Herman declared ttnight that
the death was accidental.
Relatives Witness Accident.
A big crowd witnessed the fatal acct
dent. Among the spectators were several
of Lees relatives. including his brother
and sister. His mother. Mrs. Bessie Lee,
a modiste, living at No. 191 Main street.
had intended being present, but remained
at home to prepare the Thanksgiving day
dinner. She watched the game from her
front door, which faces the fed. She
saw the accident, but was unaware that
it was her boy that was killed until his
fellow players carried home the body.
AS the boys approached Mrs. Lee real
lied that it was her sen who had been
killed. She fell fainting at her doorstep
and last night was in serious condition.
Several Hurt in st. 10 Game.

The Monster Corn Crop.

The maps reveal some interesting facts.
For instance, the corn crop of the United
States for 1901 was valued at $1,720, 600,
600 This is more money than has been
spent on higher education and original
research since the first university was
established. If this crop should be in
creased per cent it would mean $780,
tIW06O added to the wealth of the nation
for that year. Such increases have sew
eral times been made possible by the
work of the department with corn, and
such an additional increase is possible at
any time through the research work of a
single man or a single bureau. The corn
crop while it is growing increases at the
rate of .S14,VOO.OOO a day.
The next most important crop to the
United States is cotton. OF this the
country produces two-thirds of the
worlds supply. 1t was worth to the
planters last year $S1O,OGO.OOO.
A crop that the United States shares
with the world is wheat. We raised last
year SI25.O0DOCO worth. and this was only
about fifth of the worlds supply. We
exported last year more wheat than corn
though we did not raise so much. There
is only about . per cent of the area of
this country devoted to wheat, while in
many European countries 1T is much
higher. There is II per cent of the area
devoted to this crop in France and Hun
gary and in Italy and Roumani1 there is
a still larger proportion.
Increase in Horses.
In spite of the fact that this is sup
posed to be the horseless age. the num-
her of horses on the farms and ranges
in the past decade was almost double
that between 1869 and 1873. The annual
average during the last named period
was 9.O76.OO0 head. and during the past
decade it was 16 1929, 900. Mules increased
in the same period in even larger pro-
portion. The totals We're much less, and
they We're confined largely to the south
ern states.
The figures for cattle of all sorts were
very much larger. During the past dec
ade there was an annual average of H.
other cattle on the farms and ranges the
average for the period from 1869 to 1873
was 16,3O9.OOO.
One of the world crops in which we
have no part is raw silk. The world
production in 1907 was A, 600 pounds.
of which by far the larger part was
divided in equal portions between Japan.
China and Italy.
We raised but 155, 900 buhels of bar
ley while Russia was the largest pro-
ducer of any single country with 344,-
600 OCO. and the total production for the
world was 1.23S, 100000.
These figures might be continued at
length but they are sufficient to show the
character and scope of the departments

APPEALS GRANTED
IN FAMOUS CASE
Supreme Court Reverses Rich

the Supreme Court OF Appeals We'd

John A. Parker, were granted an
appeal from the decision OF the Cir

many years. II was brought against
Auditor Morton Marye, suit being in
stituted for sl7a,s5s.26 for pay for
legal services and interest on the
money believed TO have been long
due the attorneys.
During the war OF 1919 Virginia
leaned the Federal government large
sums OF money. After the cessation
of hostilities. and when the govern
ment was rgain on firm financial
footing. the state sought to recover
the money advanced for the conduct
Of the war. The Federal govern
ment produced claims against the
state for sums almost as large as
that of the state against IL.
Attorneys Greene and Parker we're
employed to represent the State In
the matter. When the matter was
