bell places the corn yield in this coun-

100, grapes 80, pears 75 and apples

The farm prices quoted for the
close of September probably higher all
along the line given than they have
been in the last half century. due, it
is supposed, to the demand for food
stuffs resulting from the war. With
corn selling on the farm at so cents
and steadily mounting the farmer is
compensated to large degree for the,
loss of nearly half his crop this year
because of the drouth.
The average prices Mr.. Campbell
