CROP ESTIMATES.

In reading the crop reports issued
by the department Of agriculture it
is just as we'll to know that the crop
estimaters have Jumped both the I'M
merchantable and market crops. This
is particularly true of wheat and corn.
Those familiar with the wheat mar
ket estimate that at least 200, 000, 900
Bushels of winter wheat is a total loss
and will never be a factor on the
market. This, of course, will reduce
the federal wheat estimate from 1y000,-
000,00 bushels to somewhere around
5000 0 900 bushels.
The department of agriculture esti-
mates the corr crop at 5000, 100000
bushels and, fixing the market price
at 61.9 cents a bushel, arrives at a
total value for the corn crop Of ap-
proximately $4,000, 900, 900. j., w..
This, Of course, is more optimistic
than true. In a recent bulletin, tie
department of agriculture called at:
tention to the condition Of the corn
crop, as follows:
although the cor crop bulks large,
the quality is unusually poor in the
principal corn surplus states and nor.
thern states Where the crop was
caught in the milk or dough state by
an early freeze, causing much light,
chaffy corn. Therefore, the actual
feeding value of the crop is probably
less than the production figures in
bushels, considered alone, will indi-
cate. In the southern states, how
ever, the quality of the crop is gener-
ally above the average
Crop values are mere guesses.
Many millions of bushels both of
wheat and corn will never be mar
keted. If the department of agricui-
tlre were really interested in getting
accurate data before the people, it
should separate the m%erchantable
from the understandable crops. The
time will come when the truth must
be told relative to the condition OF
winter wheat.
In the meantime the North Dakota
farmer is holding on to ais grain un.
deceived by the federal crop reports.

We ,.~ . .. Rights Asserted.
Another year of peace has been
vouchsafed us; another year in which
not only to take thought of our duty
to ourselves and to mankind, but also
to adjust ourselves to the many res
possibilities thrust upon us by a war
which has involved almost the whole
Of Europe. We have been able to as
sert II rights and the rights of man
kind without breach of friendship
with the great nations with whom we
have had to deal, and while We have
asserted rights We have been able
also to perform duties and exercise
privileges of succor and h%elpfulness
which should serve to demonstrate
our desire, to make the offices Of
friendship the means Of truly disin-
terested and unselfish service.
Our ability to serve all who could
avail themselves of our services in
the midst Of crisis has been increased
by a gracious Providence, by more
and nor abundant crops; our ample
financial resources have enabled lis
to steady the markets Of the world
and facilitate necessary movements
of commerce which the war might
otherwise have rendered impossible;
and u people have come more and
more to a sober realization of the
part they have been called upon to
play in a time when all the world is
shaken by unparalleled distresses and
disasters. So.
National Adherence to Peace.
The extraordinary circumstances of
such a time have done much to quick.

deepen and confirm. our confidence in
the principles Of peace and freedom
by which we :have always sought, to

only that we might better perform the

Those behind the movement to
have this arrangement made feel
sure that the economic situation Gre
ated by the release of many hun
dreds Of thousands of men at, once,
cannot be handled otherwise, but do
hope that matters will adjust them
selves within three months, just as
they adjusted themselves in one
month In Berlin with a lesser horde
of work-seekers at the beginning OF
the war. =.
Bound to Suffer.
Berlin and the other large cities
of Germany are bound to suffer the
most from an excess of workers, it
is felt. No matter how often nor
how many the warnings, there are
going to be unc0unted thousands who
will feel convinced that opportunity
for employment lies in the big rather
than in the little place, and who arc
going to swarm into it accordinly.
Mr.. Koersten again Is authority for
'tle statement that the government
Is prepared to ease the situation BY
the use of sums running, if neces-
sary, into the hundreds OF millions
Of marks for the support Of the un-
employed. If these sums have to be
drawn upon, he believes, it will be
the equivalent Of an extended fur.
Tough on pay and will be the solu-
ton Of the whole matter.
Surveying the whole German field

encies, hesltates to venture a fore
cast until the outcome Of the wal Is
clearer than at present. He feels that
the whole, immediate future of the
German workingman depends on
what the ultimate terms of peace
may be--that it is by no means dark
i! Germany wins, but that a tremen-
d0usly difficult problem is ahead if
Germany should lose and be hemmed
in more completely than il, Is now.
The German injured, lightly or SER
iously, in the interest Of his Father.
land, bids fair always to enjoy a pre-.
ference in the matter. Of work, and
yet Germany today, SO far as labor is
concerned, is in the anomalous posi-
ton Of mot having enough cripples."
The reason today is two-fold. Whe.
Their this will be true in a years
time or in two years no one will
predict. q
At present the crippled soldier has
not yet learned a trade sufficiently
to- be able to fill the place that is
open to him. Also he is, thus far,
all too intent upon finding a lob as
petty official, door-keeper at some
government. building, or something
similar. to heed the calls for his SER
vices in a trade that formerly he
thought sufficiently dignified but
which now he is inclined to scorn.
AS a result there are only between
30 and 40 applicants for every 250
positions that are on the market for
cripDled soldiers. and the proportion
seems to get No better as the months
20 by. Needless to say. there are
never going to be enough Official"

the wounded will revise their ideas

through the very cooperation of the
pensioners themselves.

it went over and was the biggest hit
he ever had. Society had v seen
that class of stuff in those days.
There is no case on record where
Hoyt ever wrote a play for a star. Ee
didn't like to write for people he did
not know we'll. He started "A Black
Sheep" for William Hoey and vita
reluctance. Before the contracts were,
signed there was a hitch and Hoyt
tore up the contract. Then he sent
for me. He told Mckee in my pres.
ence that he would rather write tho a.,
play around my personality. "a
Black Sheep was a great success.
"A Contented Woman was written $
fer his wife. 1t is as up.to-date TODAY
as it was years ago, for it deals with
s~uffragettes. You have perhaps no
ticed that all of the Hoyt's comedies

The organizing of executive depart

to it that the next measure either
