This condition OF affairs afforded an

the insincerity of Madero in not Sc

the aristocracy the financial losses
which they would sustain by Madero's
usurpation of their privileges, and the

Eountry Industry Of all kinds has
been paralyZed for over two years.
Mines and factories of all kinds are
closed down. No agriculture is car

so strongly held by either one faction
or the other that military leaders OF
either faction are able to guarantee
protection to the farmers against the
forays of their opponent. The banks
have long ago shipped all of their

SLIGHTLY BELOW 1912, EsTIMAT-
ED TOTAL YIELD FOR 1918, $780,.
100000 BUSHELS, A LITTLE
OVER 100000 BUSHELS MORE
THAN NEEDED.

The government potato report for
Aug. l has appeared, having been sent
out by the bureau Of statistics of the
department of agriculture. Covering
the entire United States, was 7S per
cent compared with S7.S the same time
last year, S4.1 for the ten year average
age this year is 99.3 per cent of last
year or 3,685,000 acres. 1t Is estimated
that this years yield will run ninety
two bushels to the acre or $4,000, ,000
bushels compared with 1884 bushels to
the acre and 421,000,000 bushels total
in 1912, final; 293,000,000 bushels in
1911, final 389,000,O00 in 1909, census;
per acre for the last five years, 1908
1912 inclusive. ..e,,,
1t will be seen that this years crop
Aug. 1, promised 100000 less than
last years final yield, which was a
very big crop, and 100000 bushels
more than the final production in 1911
The comparative figures for Min
nesota and adjoining states are as
follows: Minnesota percentage Aug
l, 1913, SO; 1912, 80 per cent; 1911, 65
per cent. B.. .a .,& ,
North Dakota, Aug. 1, 1913, IS per
cent; 1872 SO per cent; 1911, rs per
SSAAN' VI oOoti DdAoLdy Llt1S year
and last the figures are about the
same as for her sister state, but in
1911 the per cent was only So. Iowa
and Illinois are considerably lower
than last year.
In New England including the great
state of Maine, the indicated crop is
better than a year ago, while New
York is about the same, and Penn
sylvania 5 points short. In the
central section Michigan is short 8
points, Wisconsin 8, Minnesota 8, Ohio
IA, Iowa 21, Illinois 40, Indiana 80
and Nebraska II. Of the western
states Oregon is short points, Colo
rado S, Idaho 6, Washington 6, Mon
tana 9, North Dakota, 8, South Da-
kota s, and California IL and Utah
about the same.
The estimated yield for 1918 is $780,
100000 bushels and from the fact that
this country uses 8 u bushels per capita,
or total of 31S,00O,O00 for the pres
ent population, it will be seen that
there will probably be a small surplus
this year SO that there is not a very
bright outlook for high prices.
