The Poet and the Boy.

DR.. Carleton Simon, the well-known
New York specialist, told at a dinner
the other night a story about James
Russell Lowell. ut seems" said DR..
Simon, that a woman friend had
asked the famous poet to write in her
autograph album. So Lowell wrote:
What is so rare as a day in June?'
Some time later the poet had oc-
casion to call at the woman's house.
While waiting he picked up the album
and glanced through it. Great was
his surprise when he came to his own
writing and found scrawled beneath
1t in a schoolboy hand "A ChinamaD
with whiskers.'"

twice vetoed by Gov. Sulzer, met with

CROPS OF THE COUNTRY.

According to the final estimates Of
the department OF agriculture, ~the
production Of crops in the United
States in 1913 was materially below
the average. the yield per acre Of all
crops combined being smaller than in
any year OF the past decade, with the
exception Of 1911"
However. owing to high prices, the
monetary value Of the crops OF 1913
exceeds that Of 1912. While corn pro.
duction was considerably smaller, the
total value Of the crop in 1913 was
1892 .o92 600, as compared with ST.
52O,45A IN 1912. The value 81 the 1913
wheat crop is placed at s6lO,l5i.ooo,
while that OF 1912 was S555,2So,0o0
Also. the cotton crop OF 1918 is esti-
mated as having total value of S7s7,-
S4l.444. as compared with s7SO,22i,00o
for 1912,
II VIII be noted that even with de-
creased production, corn is still king
among the crops Of the. country by a
big majority.
Commenting on the principal crops
Secretary OF Agriculture Houston
says:
"lnasmuch as crop production Of
1912 was unusually large. a greater pro
portion than usual has been carried
into the present crop year which
should mitigate somewhat the effects
Of the shortage OF this years crops

farm product Of this country, is small

Wheat production is the largest ever
recorded in this country The crop
was practically matured before the

been a steady expansion of the area Of
this crop. The hay crop is smaller
than the large crop Of 1912 Rather
