Speaking of this great showing
made by the country,s farmers, James
Wilson, secretary Of agriculture, to.
day said:
Tama Jim Comments.. s
"The crops are the heAv3est ~
record. The season has been favor
able, but some credit is due to the
wide efforts made in late Wars by
the federal government and the states
to help farmers throughout the couit-
try to get better returns from the
average acre. 81. Is
"Twenty-eight million places Of
literature have been sent. out By The
department in addition to the adj
vices from the stations along tEess
lines. So the farmers haSe .been
helped in producing theirs record
breaking crops" SSssssg> -
The features of the report are the
enormous harvests Of corn, oats and
spring wheat. More than three BIZ
lions of bushels of corn, almost !
billion and half bushels of oats
and three hundred nda$hifty million
bushels of spring whs3S ) have ben
grown. The states ins The; horthws1t

at looks as if we won't have to
import any potatoes this year." said
Secretary Wilson in commenting on
the record potato crop. Indications
are that the farmers will have 1O8,-
100000 bushels more potatoes this
year than last, when, by reason of
the short crop, large quantities were

2 BOATS MAKE
THE RUSH EASY
600 Autos Cross Sound Yes
terday--No Delays.

With two boats plying between
this city and T~ottenvllle yesterday,
automobilists passing across Staten
Island on their way down the coast
did not have to wait very long to
be conveyed acros the sound. It
Is estimated that about six hundred
mi went over the ferry during
the day.
The ferryboat Tottenville came un
from Clifton, Staten Island at 1890
o'clock and remained on the run un-
TIL 7 o'clock last night. Both the
ferryboats Perth Amboy and Tot
tenv1lle were kept busy during that
time. The shower and threatening
condition of the weather during the
afternoon probably kept many at
home and reduced the traffic consid-
cradle at that time, which otherwise
would have been much greater.
The ferryboat Tottenville will be
put on again tomorrow and Sunday
to relieve the traffic. Because there
is no place here to lay the new fer
ryboat up at night, the craft ia
taken to Clifton each time at the
yard of the Staten Island rand
Transit railroad at that place.
