1912 CEREAL CROP
SMASHES RECORDS

Never before have the great GER
'eal crops of the United States been
SO bountiful as those OF this year.
Records of production for almost
every cereal have been surpassed,
in some instances by millions OF
bushels.
The October crop report of the
Department of Agriculture, issued
recently, shows spring wheat, oats,
barley, rye and hay all have ex-
ceeded the best record productions
while the crops of corn and pota-
toes fro mthe present indications,
also will be TIE greatest ever were
harvested.
Speaking of this great showing
made by the country's farmers,
James Wilson, Secretary o: Agri-
suture. said:
The crops are the heaviest on
record. The season has Eeen fav-
orable, but some credit is due to
the VIDE efforts made in late years
by the Federal Government and
ihe States to help farmers through
out the country to get better re-
turns from the averag acre.
AID BY GOVERNMENT.
The world has been searched
Tor better plants by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture and its scien-
lists have been creating new
plants by liberalization, for the
several localities.
"Twenty-e:ght million pieces of
literature have been sent out by
the department in addition to the
advlces from the stations along
these lines. 81 the farmers have
been helped in producing their re
cord-breaking crops.
The features OF tie rcnort are
the enormous harvests oi corn,
oats and spring wheat. More than
3,ooo,cOo,CCo bushels OF corn, al
most l,5oo,OOo,oco bushels of oats
and 100000 bushels III spring
wheat have been grown. The
States in the northwest are har-
Nesting TIE greatest crops ever
grown there. 1T looks IS if we
won't have to import any potatoes

farmers will have IS,CCC,CCo bush
