CORN CROP TO BE LARGE
Northwest's Output For 1914 Nearly
Double That of 1918.

According to estimates just COM
piled the corn crop of the Pacific
Northwest. including Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, will reach total
of 5,298,0O0 bushels, as compared
with 2,975,O0 in 1913. Washington
and Oregon will furnish about g.
100000 bushels each, while the Ida
no yield will be 10000 bushels. The
crop is said to be in good condition
at the present time, though the yield
per acre will not be any greater than
last season.
The increased crop is due to new
acreage devoted to the raising of
corn. Much Of the credit for the tre-
mendous addition to area of corn
planted is due to the efforts of the
Oregon Washington Railroad & Navi-
cation company which, through its
traffic manager, r. B. Miller, has
waged a persistent campaign among
the farmers Of the Northwest to in
duce them to raise corn.

cause Europe, the outlet for the
large black kind of smokers, is
not likely to buy these expensive
Havanas.
Last years total exports of
Cuban cigars were 1S3, 100000,
of which Canada and the United
States took only 66,000,000- Eu-
rope has used the dark colors,
whereas the United States takes
colorados and claros. With Eu-
rope closed as an outlet for the
dark brands, the Cuban manufac-
turer finds his export business
cut down two-thirds. In conse-
quence one of two things must
| happen: Either the Cuban manu-
| facturer must close down his bust
ness or try to sell dark cigars In
the United States at practically
cost.
