kafflr or milo has more money value than al. acre of field corn.
 The reports from this state show an increase in wheat and oats-wheat about 509o of. a crop and oats about the same. Field corn will be about 70eA of an average crop.
 The Orange Judd Company states in its report on crop conditions throughout it's territory that New York this year suffered a shortage of 100000 bushels of wheat, and the corn dropped off 100000 bushels although the production ran up to a total of 40.610,000 bushels.
 Pennsylvania produced only 7,OO0,- 900 bushels of wheat less than last year, and in corn dropped from 34 bushels the yield in 1910 to 30 bush els this year. to the acre, which brings the total production from 40,- 392,0O0 down to 29,S5O,O00.
 The states of Tennessee and Ken lucky had a yield this year almost equal to that of 1910.
 Charles w. Burkett, Editor of the American Agricalturist, states that the crop situation is unfolding splendidly from the standpoint of the farm. The returns to each farm family is going to be even better than last year on the average. Farmers are closing up their years work really better finan- cially than they have for a good many years in the past

Which will be given on the Platform seach evening to as many sufferers as
 Time will permit.
 Physicians, Gentlemen of the Press and the Public are invited to bring to the Hall the Sick of their own choice, so that they may see and know that the results are genuine and lasting. Tens of Thousands of People in mos, of the largest Cities of the world have witnessed this commendable and suc.- cessful work, and have seen, day after day, hundreds of hopeless and help less Sufferers Marvelously Benefited, although they had considered them selves incurable. Such is the marvellous curative power of Vibration, that almost unbelievable and apparently miraculous results are often won in single Treatments given on the platform to sufferers taken from the audience, c. g., Deaf people made there and then to hear again, Limbs crippled and famed from Rheu- matism and paralysis made useable again, and their delighted owners en- bled to walk about once more with ease. Arms and Legs useless for years instantly restored to use and action Excruciating pain-as from Neuralgia, etc.-stopped instantly. The test and proof of genuineness being that these things are done, so that all may see. on sufferers invited to step for the Free Demonstration from the audience.

The Wonderful Results ob tained must be seen to
 be believed.

They come to them sick, crippled and in pain, and they leave them free from suffering.
 An exhibition exciting tears and laughter, the deepest sympathy, the widest enthusiasm. Every emotion of the human heart vibrates with the keenest interest, as demonstration follows dem onstration of the standing power of this higher Science of Heal ing.
 Think of the opportunity presented of exchanging dull, heavy eyes for those that snap and sparkle with the fire of health, of exchanging feelinA of lassitude for the buoyance of strength, of exchanging for sluggish blood that which will leap. and bound to the tune of perfect health, and you will have an idea of what this system of treatment can and will do for you, and has done for thousands. Don't hesitate because your case is too far gone, Don't hesitate because the doc- tors may have said that there is no health for you. Don't hesitate be- cause the hospitals may have rejected your. case, for in this treatment there is hope for severyone. Never before in the history of the treatment and cure of disease have more marvellous results been attained.
 If your eyesight or hearing is faile- ing, Gin your heart, lungs, or stomach weak, your liver, kidneys, bowels, or nervous system Jeranged, or circula ton of blood poor, you cannot enjoy health. Remember Vibration is a form of life.'
 Thus is effected an immediate re- lief from Congestion and Pain, and 8 notceable improvement even ill chronic long-standing cases, though these may not be completely cured by one short treatment. These methods are fully endorsed, recognized, adopt ed, and highly commended by thous ands of the leading Physicians and Scientists throughout the civilized world.
