THE CROP REPORT.

The October crop report OF the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture bears out previous estimates that
have been made of the remarkable
production Of 1912.
Nearly ali the big cereal crops are
Of such proportions as to break past
records. In several Of the big wheat
growing States the yield per acre of
wheat has been doubled and in North
Dakota it has increased from eight
bushels last year TO eighteen bushels
this year. Spring wheat production
is the largest ever reported, but the
winter wheat crop is below that Of the
record year, 1906, The oat crop is
bigger by many millions than ever be-
fore. Corn has made new record
as has been the case with barley and
rye,
The potato harvest is so large that it
will scarcely be necessary to import
| potatoes as was done last year. The
country will have los, 200, 900 bushels
more of the home crop than was grown
in 1911. The rice crop Is little below
the record production OF 1910, but is
larger than last years crop The
buckwheat crop exceeds that OF last
year.
There will be more hay in the United
States by nearly two million tons than
ever was grown in any other year.
The estimate of the tobacco crop is
VI] 100000 pounds. In the record crop
year, 1909, there was production OF
,O55, 10000 pounds, but the crop OF
last pear amounted only TO 005, 100, 00C
pounds.
The condition Of corn was above the
two-year average on October in the
States of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Texas, Indiana, Ohio,
Kentucky, Alabama, South Dakota,
Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
In most Of the other states IL was not
far below the ten-year average.
This has been great year for CROP
pro iuction. There Is cause for gener-
al satisfaction in the October crop re.
port.

THE MAN WITH THE HOE.

rDw1N MARKHAM has much to answer for in tho poem
which is the title Of this article His responsibility lie set
- forth in the fact that there is a potato famine in the world,
and potatoes re a staple food for the poor. Everywhere there 10 a
short crop Our own crop Of 22, '37, 900 bushels is nearly 100000,
900 bushels short Of 190o', partly because OF an unfavoring season,
chiefly because the man with the hoe did not use it enough.
The poem has been perniGous because it assumes that tho man
who uees tho hoe is "stoid and stunned, a brother TO tho or" and
that he carries on misused shoulders "thc burden Of the world"
Those lines were written in a time OF declining prices, when corn,
wheat and potatoes brought from a third to a half what they do
now. They were a good tract for that time, just as Bryan's "cross
Of gold" speech was a good tract then. But they do not apply now,
They are a mockcry in this time Of high prices. The world has a
grievance against Markham which it docs not have against Bryan,
b~suse nobody reads Bryan. speech now, while people do read
Markham's poem, and are bcguied by it's mclolious untruths.

crease Of 775OOo acres in improved acreage under cultivation and
