The nations principal farm crops
this year are worth about five and a
half billion dollars. exceeding by more
than half a billion their value in 1914,
the previous banner value year in the
country's crop history. There has
been an unprecedented harvest, many
Of the crops exceeding their best rec
ords, and high prices due to the in
fiuence Of the European war have con-
tributed to swell the total value.
Statistics announced by the depart
ment Of agriculture in it's November
crops report base values on prevailing
November prices. Corn, with pro-
duction Of 3,090,509,000 bushels-34,-

Of 1912-is worth $1,913,025,071, the
most valuable corn crop ever grown.

Wheat, with the largest production
ever known in any country, 1,002, 2,029,
900 bushels, or about one-fourth Of the
worlds wheat crop this year. is worth
1892, ,SSS,999, or $54,O0O,000 more than
the record made in 1914.
The oats crop also was a record one,
both in point of production and value.
almost 100,000,000 bushels better
than the record Of 1912-and it's value,
s532, 2,599,S22, is s33,0O0,000 more than
the record value Of the 1914 crop.
Barley, rye, sweet potatoes, hay and
rice were record crops in point Of pro-
duction, and tobacco almost equaled
its best production. The rye and hay
crops were records in point Of value.
The approximate value Of the barley
crop is s11S,577,6S2; the rye crop, $751;

much opposition at the outset to the
order Of the postoffice department in
giving the privilege of automobile
transportation for the rural delivery
carriers, but the experiment is prov
ing profitable to such Of the carriers
as have invested in machines The
New York Journal quotes some infor-
nation from The Topics showing that
at the present time 400 or 500 routes
are motorized, under the plan where
by the maximum salary has been
raised from $1,000 without autos to ST.
500 with autos provided by the driver.
Under the existing salary provisions
many carriers are providing their own
motor service on routes varying from
"a to 80 miles in length finding 1t
profitable to do so. With the increas-
ed remuneration it is expected that
much longer routes can be covered in
the same way, still providing an in
creased margin Of pay for the carriers.
A Kansas carrier. now using light
machine over a 293-mile route, is
quoted as asserting that the higher
salary will fully meet the additional
cost to the carrier Of serving the
larger routes and leave him a
larger net income than rural carriers
have ever made before. This carrier
figures it out that if he received $1,000
a year for covering SIS miles six days
a week, his net income would be ST.

ting.

CAUSE OF PELLAeRA FOUND
Public Health Service Makes Announe-
ment Of GoIdberqers Discovery.

Discovery Of the cause and cure
for pellagra was announced formally
last Tuesday night by the public health
service at Washington. The announce
ment follows the recent publication OF
a report by Surgeon General Joseph
Goldberger on q year Of experiments
in cooperation with southern states
health officers, demonstrating the cor
rectness of the theory that a one
sided diet lacking in proteids would
cause the disease and that we'll bal
anced diet would cure 1t.
1.-The spread Of this dread malady.
which has been increasing In the
United States at terrific rate during
the past few years. may now be check
ed, and eventually eradicated." says
the service statement. 1T Is estimated
that $4,000 cases Of the disease will
have occurred in the United States in
1915, and Of this number at least 1900
will have died before the end of the
year. In many sections only tubercu-
losis and pneumonia exceed 1t as a
cause Of death"
The final dietary tests made by
Surgeon Goldberger and Assistant Sur
geon G. A. Wheeler at the farm Of the
Mississippi penitentiary, where half a
dozen Of eleven convicts were given
pellagra by feeding them for five
months on bountiful meals, consisting
entirely Of cereals and sweets and lack
ing in meats, milk. eggs, beans and
peas. The convicts recently were par
doned by the governor and are being
restored to health through corrected
diet.
Although the occurrence Of nervous
symptoms and gastro-intestinal dis
turbances was noted early says the
statement, ut was not until Septem-
ber 12, or about five months after the
beginning Of the restricted diet, that
the skin symptoms so characteristic
Of pellagra began to develop. The
convicts upon whom the experiment
was made were kept under continuous
medical surveillance. No cases OF
pellagra developed in camp except
among those men who were on the re-
stricted diet. The experimenters have
therefore drawn the conclusion that
pellagra has been caused in at least
six Of eleven volunteers as a result Of
the one-sided diet on which they sub
sided.
"On the basis Of this discovery the
states Of Mississippi Louisiana and
Florida have laid their propaganda
through their respective boards Of
health for the eradication Of the dis
ease"
In earlier experiments about 200
patients had been cured by balanced
rations, and at the end Of year there
had been a slight recurrence Of the
disease in only one instance.

Greatness of the United States
The United States covers considerably
less than six per cent Of the earth's
area, and contains only about five per
cent Of the earths population, but
official records show that the United
States produces:
76 per cent Of all the corn grown
in the entire world.
10 per cent Of the cotton.
72 per cent Of all the oil.
SO per cent of all the copper.
43 per cent Of all the pig iron.
81 per cent Of all the coal.
35 per cent Of all the tobacco.
26 per cent Of all the silver.
"a per cent of all the wheat.
81 per cent Of all the gold and con-
tains more than 33 per cent Of all the
wealth in the civilized world.
These figures were compiled July
1915, by DR.. Joseph Caccavajo, c. E.,
from the government reports and sta
tistics for the year ending June 30,
1914, and were therefore uninfluenced
by the present war.
The reports show that the United
States produced 2,762, ,SO4, 900 bushels of
corn in 1914.
16,1O3,143 bales Of cotton, 1914.
1O,434,600 gallons Of oil. 1913.
546,643 long tons Of copper, 1913.
30,966,152 long tons Of iron, 1913.
5OS,971,540 long tons Of coal, 1913.
953.730,OOO pounds Of tobacco, 1913.
S91,017,000 bushels Of wheat. 1914.
s40,34S,100 silver, 1914.
$S8,SS4,0O0 gold. 1914.
Should the United States shut up
shop just now, all the rest Of the
world would find the situation very
awkward, to say the least.

HATIEN ELECTION
CALLED FOR NEXT
WEEK THURSDAY

Port Au Prince, Haiti, Aug. 1O.-The
next meeting of the national assembly
for the election of president of haiti
in succession to the late President Gull
laume, who lost his life during the rev.
dictionary operations of DR.. Rosalvo b.
DO. has been called for next Thursday.
If an election is possible. it is believed
that General Dartiguenave will be Sc
lected, in spite Of the fact that popular
feeling is against him. Generally speak
ing, the people would prefer the estab-
lishment of provisional government and
the dissolution of the Chamber OF Depu-
ties and the Senate, to be followed by
the election of new deputies.
The American authorities in control at
Port Au Prince have handed back to the
National Bank the treasury service OF
the republic, which this bank had been
performing under contract. 1t was re-
lieved of it's duties in this regard by the
government of President Guillaume.
Quiet has been re-established at st.

COMMERCE COMM
ADVOCATES RULE
TIL A T PROHIBITS
THROUGH CHECKS

Washington, Aug. 10.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission in a de-
cision today. affecting a great volume
OF passenger traffic, particularly in
the East and North Central states to
the South, abrogated the proposed
rules Of railroads which would have
prohibited the through checking of
baggage and sale of through parlor or
sleeping car tickets on combination
tickets used in connection with joint
fares from Junction points.
Retail merchants, chambers of COM
merce and travellers in the South and
East protested against the inconven-
fence of detraining at Washington and
other Southern gateways to re-check
baggage and secure Pullman accom-
modations for the remainder of theit
journey.
The commission held that no rail-
road receiving the equivalent of its
full local fare to the junction, what
ever the character of transportation
accepted by the connecting line, may
lawfully withhold provision for Incl
dental services universally in demand.
Commissioner Harlan dissented from
this opinion. saying that the majority
action permits evasions of the
through fare.

J. p. MORGAN & co.
REFUSE TO TALK

New York, Aug. 0.-Considerable
mystery surrounds the shipment from
England to this country of a large
amount of gold, thes UNI being various
" estimated at s15,OO0,o0O to $25. 0OO, OOO
The gold. which probably is in the form
of American eagles. is being trans
shipped from Halifax, to which port
it was taken by a British steamer, pre-
sumably under government convoy, to
this city by special train.
J. p. Morgan & Co. are the consign-
ees. but the bankers refuse to give any
information regarding the transaction,
stating that such details ought to come
from London, where the shipment was
arranged in response to the extraordi-
nary conditions between that center
and this city.
At the sub-treasury it was admitted
that request had been received to
take care Of a large amount of gold
now on the way from Canada, but the
sum involved was not known. The
American Express Co., which has
charge Of the gold, from Halifax to this
city declined to give any particulars of
the shipment on the ground that such
course would be unwise at this time.
