Crop Production.

Dealing with the general crop pro
duction of the country, the report
finds:
The progress Of agriculture re
veals itself more particularly in its
diversiGcation, in the rise OF minor
crops % large proportions, than in
the increased production of stable
products For example, dairying in
the last generation has become an
exceptionally important branch Of The
agricultural economy, the annual pro

billion pounds of condensed milk, and
billion pounds OF cheese. having a
value of approximately 5000 1000 900.
The production Of orchard fruits eX-
ceeds 2i6,000,000 bushels a year with
q value OF more than $4,000, ,000. The
value Of the annual production of veg
etables i, il, excess Of 100000, 900.
The production OF hay and forage APP
proximates l0O000.000 tons, with
value in excess OF $500. .000.G 600: the
poultry products of the nation have
reached q point where their annual

Products Show Marked Increase.

The secretary's report includes a
table giving the census figures for
1899 and 1909, showing that in all
products except corn and meat ami
mails there has been a marked in
crease in production during the ten
year period. Continuing, the report
says
I'VE know that the wheat crop of
1914 of approximately S92,000000
bushels is the greatest ever produced
in our history, and that the crops of
oats, barley, rye. potatoes, tobacco,
and hay are unusually large The cot
ton crop, forecast in October at 15,.
100000 bales, is the second largest.
The apple crop, estimated at 90O0,-
900 bushels, is the greatest ever har-
vested. The total production of six
leading cereals is estimated to have
been nearly 100000 bushels. or
about 42S.000,000 bushels in excess Of
the crop of 1913. For the country as a
whole the crop yield per acre was 2.3
per cent better than the average for
the last ten years. The average yield
per acre Of all staple crops was 9.4
per cent greater than 1913, and except
for corn, oats and flaxseed, greater
than the ten-year average"

the nations at war that the progress of
Thy kingdom shall not be set back, and
that the wrath and greed of man shall
be made to praise Thee. Preserve our

our own country do in righteousness the
things that make for peace. Minister in
Thy infinite pity to those who shall suf-

establish every where the reign of the
Prince of Peace, in whose name we shall
ever pray for the peace of the world
