Most of the independent oil mills
have caught it pretty hard this sea-
son, and so far as we have seen, there
has never been published very salts
factory explanation as to just how
they have been hit. That the price Of
seed has been higher this year than
ever before everybody knows, and
there has been no reasonable eXplana-
tion as to the why. About the most
that we know is that there has been
an independent seed buyer at about
every place where there has been an
independent oil mill, and there have also
been independent buyers, sometimes on
every seed market. In no case, Of
course, have the independent mills
been paying any more for seed than
they have been compelled to pay.
Naturally they have been desirous Of
getting all the seed they could at the
lowest price that would buy them.
But the Independent oil mills have not
been allowed to dictate the market.

AS to whether Senator Tillman is
going to be successful in his efforts
to secure the establishment Of an
adequate government plant for the
manufacture Of armor plate as will be
required from time to time by the
ships that are building and that are
to be built, is, we fear, doubtful; but
we are inclined to hope he will sue
ceed. There are probably three or
four steel making concerns in Ameri-
ca that are able to make armor plate;
but it is reasonably certain that they
belong to a trust which has for it's
object not only the maintenance Of
prices to be exacted from the govern
ment at four or five times the real
value Of the material furnished; but
to prevent the establishment Of COM
petition. 1t is no doubt true that a
private corporation is capable Of pro-
ducing armor plate cheaper than the
government will ever be able to pro-
duce it, because government employ
and receive more pay. But the private
corporations are not going to produce
armor plate cheaper than the govern
ment can produce it until the govern
ment compels them to do so by actual
competition, and under the circum-
stances, the government is fully war
ranted in going into the business as
matter Of protection. Through the
whole history Of the country, the gov
ernment has been making arms of all
kinds, including cannon, and there is
every reason also why it should make
it's own armor plate. But the private
corporations that are making millions
of profit out of the sale Of armor plate
to the government, have millions Of
money that they can use to keep down
government competition. And there is
the rub-or at least one Of the rubs.

Messrs. Dickson G. Hogue Of Glove,

W0osTes IiCHooH q IDo6uc VI Siofoi
have inaugurated a campaign for the
sale Of the we'll known Chevrolet car in
this county. After thorough investiga-
ton, combined with a lot Of practical
experience and tests under all kinds Of
conditions they have satisfied them
selves that the Chevrolet car is thor
oughly well suited for this section as
to price, durability and general per-
formance. That 1t is one Of the hand
soonest cars on the market, everyone
who has seen it agrees, and also it
yields second place to none as to SER
vice and utility. Messrs. Dickson &
Hogue are mighty nice people to deal
with, and can be depended upon to do
exactly what they say.

The nations harvests this year
have surpassed any ever before re-
corded. The value Of the principal
farm crops based on prices paid to
farmers December /, was announced
last Wednesday by the department Of
agriculture in its final estimate as
$5,568, 773,000, making 1915 a banner
year both in value and in production
Of crop reports. The unusual situa-
ton Of extraordinary production and
high prices, probably never before so
pronounced is credited principally to
the European war. With the price Of
grain soaring as the war progressed,
American farmers began the season by
planting greater areas to grain. The
acreage Of the principal crop this
year aggregated about 4S6,570 square
miles. That is larger than the COM
bined area Of Germany, France, Bel
gium, Holland, Denmark and Switzer-
land. Corn was planted on 103,321 900
acres, the second largest area ever
planted and the harvest was 1854, $685.
900 bushels, the second largest crop
ever grown. Its value was $1,755,S59,-
900, exceeding that Of the previous
most valuable corn crop by $33,000,0 900.
New records were made in production
by wheat, oats, barley, rye and sweet
potatoes. Production Of the first bill
lion bushel wheat crop and the second
three billion bushel corn crop were
features of the year. Wheat acreage
aggregated 59,S9S,000 acres, or 6,O00,-
600 more than ever before. The yield
was 16.9 bushels an acre the largest
acre yield for wheat and spring wheat
combined ever attained in this coun-
try. The final estimate Of production
was 1,011, ,505,00 bushels, with a value
of s930,3O2,00O. The crop exceeded
last years, which was a record, by
more than 10000 bushels and by
$50 0.000,000 in value. Oats, rye, pota-
toes, sweet potatoes and tobacco all
were planted on record areas. Oats
exceeded it's record production Of
1912 by $4,000 bushels and its record
value of 1914 by $4,000. Barley pro-
duction was 100000 bushels more
than the 1912 record crop and was
worth $4,000,000 more than the former
most valuable crop, grown in 1914.

It seems to be admitted that about
the only hope the Allies have Of con-

them, and If this be fact. from ap-

A farmer who fails to raise his own
supplies is quite foolish; but until
something is done to improve market
conditions, he is foolish to raise a
surplus of supplies.
