: Crop Conditions.

Ohio's estimated wheat produc-
ton for harvest just past was
81, O92, 1892 bushels. This is an
approximate shortage of 1876, 900
bushels compared with the esti-
mated production of one year
ago. The average production per
acre is Is bushels. The quality
of the grain is estimated at "a
per cent compared with an aver.
age. The crop of 1910 still re-
naming in producers hands is
estimated at IL per cent. Ohio
should not produce less than
40. OOO, 900 bushels of wheat an
nually, but until a marked in
crease is shown in the area seed
ed, this can not be accomplished.
While the area seeded to oats
for 1911 harvest was somewhat
greater than in 1910, the total
production does not equal last
years crop. The present esti-
mated production is 46, ,442, 742
bushels, as against an estimated
production of 54, O94,054 bushels
one year ago. The quality of the
grain is estimated at 88 per cent
compared with an average. The
average production per acre is
81 bushels.
Based upon 35 bushels per acre
representing normal-100 per
ce mt correspondents estimate
the corn prospect at 81 per cent.
Reports from township assessors
show that 3,O43, GOA acres were
planted to corn. From the pros
pect now reported this should
produce approximately sc, 938, 787
bushels. On the corresponding
date one year ago the production
was estimated at 81, 156. .178 bush
els.
Potatoes are a failure. The
prospect for the state as a whole
is estimated at 81 per cent com
pared with 1910 production. Six
teen counties report prospect at
less than IS per cent, while in
but IL counties is prospect re.
ported at better than 70 per cent.
The failure Of this crop is attri.
buted to the serious drought.

THE PROGRESS.
A Great Moral Reform
Gathering.

Announcement is made Of the In
ternational Purity Congress which
meets this year in Columbus, Ohio,
October 1927, under the auspices
and direction of the international
American Purity Federation with
headquarters at Lacrosse, Wiseon-
sin. This is Ithe sixth convention
held by the federation, and the
program now completed promises
that it will be by far the largest
and best in the history Of the work.
Delegates have been invited to
this congress from every church,
every law and order league, every
society for the suppression of vice,
every temperance society, every
moral reform association, and from
every organization throughout the
United States and Canada that is
working for the betterment of NOR
al and social conditions. Every
section of the country will be rep
resented by leading workers.
The American Purity Federation
was the first continent-wide Organi-
zation to proclaim the actual fact
of a white slave traffic and to direct
its forces against this horrible evil,
and through its literature, public
meetings., national congresses and
international tours of workers, it
has been leading factor in arous-
ing our country to the enormity of
this nefarious traffic in girls and
women for immoral purposes and in
securing the needed legislation
which will result in the suppression.
On the official staff of the fedora
ton are some of the leading re-
ligious, educational and reform
men and women of the two cOun-
tries which insures the success and
saneness of all work undertaken.
At least three leading phazes Of
the work will be prominent at the
Columbus gathering: l. The White
Slave Traffic which will be dis
cussed by Hon Clifford G.. Roe of
Chicago; Hon James Bronson Rey-
nolds of New York; Ernest A. Bell
of Chicago and Hon. James H. Pat
ten of Washington, D. G. 2. Leg
islation now Needed for the Sup
preston of the Social Evil. This
topic will be centered largely in the
consideration of the Iowa Iniunc-
ton and Abatement Law, and Ex-
Attorney General Byers and Mr..
John B. Hannnoud, of Des Moines,
Iowa, will speak to the question.
3. instruction in Sex Hygiene, A
number of leading medical men
and women will discvss this topic.

ton relative to the congress may
