From Every State and EachsPossession
 of the United States.

Solomon Close, Grand Army man, past commander of Minor post of Stamford, where he lives, for 37 -ears an engineer in the employ of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road company, and now retired, called at the state library in Hartford re- gently and paid his respects to Libra rian George s. Goddard. He brought with him small glass jar filled with soil taken from each state in the un- inon and from each of the possessions of the United States, and with some thrown iE for good measure from other places. While he looked on MT. Goddard sealed the package after MT. Close had placed two small flags in the cork. A second jar of like composition was de- posted with the state librarian. and when Hartford Grand Army men. if they ever do, conclude to plant tree on the state grounds. this soil will be placed at its roots. MT. Close has done the like for tree planted in Stamford by Minor post and h says that he stands ready to make a like controbu- ton to any high school or large school in the sta-e which cares to plant tree on Arbor day.
 For years MT. Close has collected soil where other men have acquired coins or autogra aphs. and his list now comprises pretty much every historic spot except the Garden of Eden.

CHINESE CONDITIONS.
Described by Bristol Young Woman in
 Letter to Parents.

MT. and Mrs. Charles Stocks of Bris- toI recently received a letter from their daughter, Miss Hannah Stocks. a missionary in China, under the direc- ton of the American Advent Mission ary society. This letter was written from Ranking on October 19. and was deloyed several weeks in transmits sion-
 Since the writing of the letter Miss Stocks and the other missionaries have been compelled to leave Ranking and go to Shanghai for protection. She states that Wuchang, a part of Han chou. has been taken by the rebels. but all foreigners are safe. as the feeling is against the AIanchurians and the corrupt officials. and not against the foreigners
 At the time of writing Miss Stocks did not think there would be any trou ble at Nanktng, though the Viceroy was taking every precaution by plac- ing two extra guns on the hill opposite the one upon which the mission was located. The missionaries were pre- pared in case of trouble to move to Shanghai 6According to press dis patches this was done a little over a week ago.) Miss Stocks was planning a months trip in the country with her aunt. Miss Dow, and the provisions for the trip prepared.
 The famine which threatened was averted by the marketing of the new rice mrop. which is cheap. The only trouble now is the scarcity of silver money Everyone got frightened over the paper and Chinese money and converted 1t in silver. and when trou- bIe threatened the bankers shipped it all to Shanghai. thus causing d dearth of silver in that vicinity. The revolu- ton is making Q difference with the exchange of money as the missionaries can not get so much Chinese money for their American money as before.

DECLINE IN FARM PRODUCTS VALUE
Condition Exists For First Time in Many Year According to Report of Secretary of Agriculture the Secretary States That There Great Abundance For all Purposes-Corn Leads Wealth Producer.

in 1866. except in 1SS5 and this estab fishes a total value for the crop that record. So pre-eminently is corn the leading crop. of the country, that about tbree-fourths of the worlds crop is grown here.
 Hay Crop Below Average.
 A low production of 47,000,o00 tons of hay is far below the five year aver age and was exceeded by the crop of each year since 1888. Notwithstanding the low production. the price has not correspondingly advanced, for the req sen, probably, that there was good and late fall pastUrase and that the farm CTS have a great deal of roughage to take the place of hay The total value of the hay crop is placed as little less than S700.000.000.
 Wheat comes next in value with a crop valued at se00, ,000, 900. The esti- mate of the department places the pro- daction 656. .000, ,000 bushels, an amount that would have been much exceeded had weather conditions been favorable.
 Oatss-The yield is estimated to be S74,o00,000 bushels, low amount, caused by adverse weather. Its value is estimated at $3s0.000.0O0.
 NPotatoes.-TtIe crop of 2s2.000 .0Oo bushels is about 90 per cent of aver age production. burt the farm price has increased to such an extent that the total value of the crop is the highest of record and amounts to S213, 10000
 Barley is another crop that Is def- cient in production. The 14e.0O,000 bushels are 12 per cent. below the five years average, but the total value is given as s125,o00, 900.
 Tobacco crop is estimated to be about goo. 900, 900 pounds, or per cent. be- low the five year average. and to be worth &bout S7e.000, GOO, which is 5.3 per cent. under the five year average price. This country grows, it is esti- DIated, 31 per cent. Of the worlds crop of tobacco.
 Rye has the low production of 31,- cO0, GOO bushels but the value of SZ6,- 000, 900 is way above the i've year av- craze.
 Sugar beet crop, which for several years remained close to $Z0 GOO. .000 in value, has risen to more than $24, ,000,- 900 this year. an increase of 23.5 per cent. above the five year average. This Is a crop the establishment and growth of which the department has directed some of it's best efforts.
 Rice is one of the crops that have a production above the five year aver age, but the amount, which is a little over 1000. o00. 900 pounds. has been ex- ceeded twice
 BuckN~hat crop has bsen exceeded in production but twice since the sixties, ard the value by no year subsequent to that decade.

GRAY HAIR MAkEs
Use Wysth's Sage and suIphur~ and Your Gray Hair Will
 Quickly Vanish.

Gray hair is a mark of age. and nothing that can be said as to it's beauty will offset the disadvantages of this mark of age set upon your brow.
 wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy darkens the hair and restores 1t to its youthful beauty Our grand mothers and their grandmotfle-s be- fore them used sage and sulphur for darkening their hair. Nothing has ever been found more effective for this purpose than these two time hon ored remedies. but Wyeth, a modern chemist, has combined the two with other ingredients, which makes a de- lightful dressing for the hair, and which not only removes every trace of dandruff but promotes the growth of the hair. It also stops the hair from falling out, and makes it beauti- ful.
 All druggists are authorized to re- fund the money if it fails to do, ex- actiy as represented.
 Don't neglect your hair and don't resort to old-tim hair dyes. Get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your druggist today. and notice the difference in your hair after few days use.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents bottle, and is recommended and sold by all druggists

Especial to The Bulletin.)

Washington, Dec. 7.=The year 1911 was poor one for record breaking crops, according to the report of the secretary of agriculture made public today. Apart from the two crops of cotton and sugar beets, not a crop reached d place that is next to the highest production of former years. The tale is reversed when the value of the crops are considered. The only crops this year that compare with the average of the previous five years are cotton, rice. ouckwheat, beet sugar and cane sugar.
 Adverse Weather Conditions.
 In the discussion of crop production and values, the secretary states eli ma tic conditions of the early part of the growing season of 1911 were ad- verse to agriculture throughout the country east of the Rocky mountains in q degree that exceeds all records For a period of 60 days, beginning in Mar- series of hot waves of marked severity for so early in the season fol- lowed one another in rapid succession. and the weather bureau is quoted as declaring that it is probable that dur ing no similar period of 60 days has the temperature been so continuously and largely above the average over so ex- tcHsfve region in the last half cen tury. At the same time. there was a large deficiency Of rainfall that added to the crop damage.
 Farm Products Decline
 For the first time in many years the total value of farm products has de- ciined from thatAof the preceding year. The secretary says that while the to- tai values of the crops in 1911 are not sc high as in 1910, there is great abun- dance for all purposes"
 The estimate for 1911 is based on the census items, and is $S,417. COG. GOO. or $zI7, 100000 under the total for 1910. The loss is chargeable to the general c'asses of animal products and animals sold and slaughtered. Dairy cows are ar only farm animals for which in crease of price is indicated. Eggs. wool, butter and poultry have suffered in farm price during the year. Tn con sequence of the decline of prices of farm animals and their products, this group is estimated to have produced value of s2.s13, ,000, ,000 in 1911, or S321- o50, coo below the amount of 1910.
 Corn Prices Highest on Record.
 With 8 value of more than twice that of the cotton crop this year, and but little less than the combined values of he cotton, wheat and oat crops. corn Is ty far the Ieadfns' crop as a wealth producer The estimate for the year being 2,776, 100000 bushels indicates a production that has been exceeded in only two years, and the farm price of rcrn is higher than it has been since the records of the department began,

How Gov. Wilson Receives Callers.

Above all Gov. Woodrow Wilson is a man of the people. He was born with no silver spoon in his mouth He IS not a man of means or wealth He IS easily approachable. No dignity hedges him about. He resides in a very modest home at Princeton. It was the governor himself who opened the door for us, welcomed us in, took our hats and wraps and laid them aside, ushered us into his library, made us feel at home and talked to us as netsh6OrS who had dropped in for a casual call. There are no frills nor furbelows about him. He is essential ly Jeffersonian. As governor of New Jersey he has fought for the plain peo- pie, and they love him. Tn doing so. he has antagonized the interests He knows 1t 1t, but doesn't care. He has faith in the people and takes them in to his confidence
