The table shows that this years crops
have not been as good as they were in
1872 and 1918. The winter wheat crop of
1914 is $4,000 tons short of the 1913 crop:
winter rye is $4,000 tons short. and oats
611O0o TONS 1t Is asserted, however, that
this has been largely met, firstly by i'm
ports during the first weeks of the war;
secondly, by the release of provisions
stored by the government for military
purposes; thirdly. by the relatively bet
ter crop in other states of the German
federation. In addition a large grain
crop in Hungary and other parts of the
Austro- Hungarian empire, the surplus of
which has been exported in other years
to England, is looked upon by Germany
as a reSerYa.

Other crops of the present year are:
Summer barley ......,........ 1,705 900 tons
Winter Barley ................ 10000 tons
Summer wheat ................ 1000 tons
Summer rye ................... $4,000 tons
Much has been expected of the potato
crop, but it is certain now that it fell
short OF expectations. The crop is more
than 6,5OO.OOO tons short of 1913, which for
Prussia was an exceptionally good year,
however.

How You May Throw
 Away Your Glasses

The statement is made that thou really need them. If you are one of these unfortunates, then these glasses may be running your eyes instead of helping them. Thousands who wear these windows" may prove for them selves that they can dispense with glasses if they will get the following prescription filled at once: Go to any active drug store and get bottle of Optona; fill two-ounce bottle with warm water and drop in one Optona tablet. With this harmless liquid solu tion bathe the eyes two to four times daily, and you are likely to be aston ished at the results right from the start. Many who have been told that they have astigmatism, eye-strain, cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes, con- junctivitis and other eye disorders, re- port wonderful benefits from the use of this prescription. Get this prescrip- tion filled and use it; you may SD strengthen your eyes that glasses will not be necessary. Thousads who are blind, or nearly so, or who wear glasses would never have required them if they had cared for their eyes in time. Save your eyes before it is too late! Do not become one of these victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are only like crutches and every few years they must be changed to fit the ever increasing weakened condition, so better see if you can, like many oth- CTS, get clear, healthy, strong mag netic eyes through the prescription hexe given.
