CROPS DURING 1919.

Report Of Secretary Of Agriculture
Shows That They Have Fallen Off,
Very brief space is allotted this year
to a discussion of the crops in the
United States in the report Of the sec
rotary Of agriculture. Special empha-
sis is laid on the fact that the figures
quoted are estimates. and it is pointed
out that this fact should be constantly
kept in mind. From the estimates at
hand it appears that the production
Of crops in 1913 was materially below
the average. the yield per acre of all
crops combined being smaller than In
any year in the past decade with the
exception of 1911. The corr crop. the
most valuable product of this country.
according to the estimates. fell below
$500. OOO. 1000 bushels. which is smaller
than any crop since 1903. Wheat pro-
duction. with an estimated total of
7533. 100000 bushels. is the largest ever
recorded in this country. This crop
was matured before the drought be-
came effective. Brief mention Is made
as to crop conditions throughout the
world. From the estimates it appears
that there were increased areas sown
to wheat. oats. barley. rye and corn
and that the wheat acreage has prob
ably yielded a record outturn. Barley.
oats and rye are bountiful crops. but
cor will probably give the poorest re-
suit in twenty years.

THE INFLUENCE OF
GOOD ROADS ON HEALTH.
A Point In Their Favor That Has Not
Received Much Attention.

The influence Of good roads on pub
lie health is a point In their favor that
has not received much attention The
Kansas state board of health puts the
feature in the foreground and wants
modern improved roads In that state
because they prevent disease.
They do this because they afford
drainage. A good road a never 70
main a good road unless 1t IL well
drained. The roadbed must not have
any standing water either on its sur
face or below the surface. II must
have drainage. and the cutters beside
the roads must have slope and b. kept
free from obstruction so that all sur

easily.

bugs and grasshoppers. multiply there
In profusiOn. 1t is these insects which
either carry disease or are of the kind
which destroy the farmers crops. For
these reasons well built, well drained
highways are a double benefit since
they give the farmer the inestimable
advantage Of easy communication with
his market at all times Of the year and
by improving the drainage check the
breeding of harmful insects.
Good roads mean, therefore. not
only a great saving of time and labor
for the farmer. but the improvement
In the hygienic conditions Of the farm
ing community. He is brought nearer
to his market, the hauling capacity Of
his teams is greatly increased. and he
is no longer marooned on his farm for
many weeks each year owing to the
impossible conditions Of the roads.
That health Is promoted as we'll as
comfort and wealth by good roads
should give the argument for their
construction irresistible force so that
their building shall not cease until the
whole country is lined with them.

BY this means we hope to produce a
