BEAT ALL RECORDS
Farm Products of 1914 Valued
at Ten Billion Dollars by
the Government.
COTTON SALE FAILURE HURT
Corn and Wheat Yields Are the Most
Abundant Ever Raised in This
Country, Report States.

Washington, Dec 31-American
farms in 1914 eclipsed all records for
combined value of their products, with
a total of almost 10 billion dollars.
Secretary Houston of the Department
Of Agriculture announced today that
the value OF all farm crops, farm ami
NAL products and farm animals sold
and slaughtered aggregated $9,872,-
$4,000. That was almost SO million
more than the grand total for 1913, the
previous record year, and more than
double the value Of all farm products
in 1899 Crops this year were valued
at 1904, 48O 900, and the estimated to-
tai value of the animal products and
of the farm animals sold and slaught-
cred was s3,S28, $4,000 The valpe Of
crop production this year was slightly
less than in 1913. on account Of the
reduced value OF the cotton crop,
brought about principally from the
European war. The corn and wheat
crops, however, were the most valua-
bic ever produced in the United States,
bringing the years crop value total to
only SS8,279,OOO less than the total
for last year, despite the loss of more
than 800 million dollars in the value
Of the cotton crop.
1.-THE estimated value of the animal
products in 1914" said the Agrioul-
tural Outlook today, lis distinctly
higher than in 1919, which was itself
a record year in the value of this class
of products This is due to general
but slight increases in production, ex-
cept for sheep and swine, and in
prices, more especially to a small in
crease in the average farm price of
eggs and to a more considerable in
crease in the farm price of cattle and
calves sold and slaughtered.
1T must be borne in mind that the
amounts Of these estimates do not
stand for net wealth produced, nor for
cash received, nor for profit, nor for
income in any sense. Each product is
valued, as in the census, when it
reached commercial form, and the
grand aggregate OF all items is to be
regarded as an index number, or from
a relative rather than from an abso-
lutte point of view

USING GROUND CORN
TO FAUEN STEERS
Missouri Experiment Station Has
Been Investigating This
Question for Two Years.

(By H o. ALLISON. Missouri Experiment
Station-)
Does 1t pay to grind corn for fatten-
ing tWo-year-old steers? The Missouri
experiment station has been investi-
eating this question for the last two
years. While this investigation is not
yet completed, results obtained up to
the present time indicate that more
rapid gains in live weight and a quick
er finish may be expected by the use
of ground grain Cattle also feed more
uniformly on ground than on whole
corn. There is no doubt but that two
year-old steers will much more COM
pletely digest ground grain and the
finer it is the more completely it viii
be digested.
The work at the Missouri College Of
Agriculture shows clearly that when
ground corn is fed fewer hogs are
needed to follow the steers. The fig
ures obtained indicate that from II to
p per cent Of the value of the ear
corn fed to steers should be charged to
the hogs, while with finely ground
corn chop it will not be more than
to 4 per cent. The evidence concern
ing the total gain in live weight on
cattle and hogs per bushel of corn fed
is not yet conclusive 1t is not likely
that there will be much difference be-
tween feeding ground or whole grain
if the hogs are properly cared for and
if the feeding is done in lots which are
reasonably free from mud.

ALMOST THE WHOLE SHOW
Prompter Had Done Much for the
Actors, but 1t Seemed 1t
Wasn't Enough.

In the production of a play there
is an important person who is never
seen and should not be heard by the
audience, and yet he may speak more
lines than the principal actor. 1t is
the prompter.
Here is a description of a prompt
er's labors, written by one of the
genus:
81. as prompter, had been kept very
busy throughout the piece. In addi-
ton to keeping the actors on their
lines, it was my duty to make all the

ports. had Numbered, hailed, rained.

you bark, you idiot?'"

FRENCH TONIC FOR
THE YOUNG TURKEYS
1t Is of Greatest Importance to
Begin Treatment Before Com
mencement of the Red.

A French authority, many years
ago, recommended the following tonic
for young turkeys during the critical
stage:
Take cassia bark in fine powder,
three parts; ginger, ten parts: gentian,
one part; anise seed, one part; car
Donate Of iron, FIVE parts; mix thor
oughIy by sitting.
A teaspoonful Of the powder should
be mingled with the dough for 20 tur-

is of the greatest Importance to begin
the treatment a fortnight before the
appearance of the red, and to continue
it two or three weeks after.

ORDERS FOR A
LATE Count ON
SUFFRAGE VOTE
County Clerk McDonough Says
That TabuIation Shall Come
After 9 O'clock.

County Clerk Joseph McDonough to-
day mailed letter of instruction to
all of the election boards in the 3l9
districts throughout the county. These
instructions not only cover til een-
eral election on November 2, b tlso
the special election on the ~ ID
ments to the constitution nexi rs
day.
The officers have been instructed to
close the ballot boxes at o'clock
next Tuesday night, but to continue
to register names of voters until 3
O'Clock and to wait until after that
time to count the ballots.
The county clerk has not yet handed
down a decision relative to the dis
position that he will make OF the petit
tfons which were filed by the Wilson
Democrats" for register, freeholders
and alderman in the Fourth ward.
The county clerk is going over the
evidence that was submitted very
carefully, and it is not likely that
a decision will be given before Tues
day.
The County Board of Elections is
sitting today for the purpose of Strik-
ing names from the registry lists. Up
to noon no applications had been
made to have names stricken from
the lists and few are expected for
the rest of the day, as there have been
practically no complaints or charges
of fraud by any party this year.
The board will also add names in
Municipalities under 5000 where the
voter was missed or failed to register
in the general canvass before the
primary.

WEEQUAH|C FOLK
RENEW PROTEST
ON PLAYGROUND
Vigorous Opposition to Deal for
Book Property-case May
Go to Courts.

Residents Of the Weequahic Park
section of the city are planning to
make vigorous protest against the
action of the Recreation Commission
in ordering land condemned for a
playground in their part of the city.
The protestors claim that a play
ground is not needed and that to
locate one on the site the commits
sion has in mind would be TO lower
property values in that section. Tt is
believed the case will be appealed to
the courts, if necessary.
When the commission meets Friday
night at the City Hall a large dele
cation is expected to apear to en-
phasze their protest. Michael j. Tan
sey, counsel for st. Charles Borro-
meo's Church, and Rev. Thomas A.
Walsh. the pastor. will address the
board. Other residents of the imme-
date neighborhood of the proposed
ayground-Peshine and Custer ave-
nues-ineluding Rev S. II. Marcy,
pastor of the Weequahic Park Pres
byterian Church, which faces the
plot, are actively interested in the
protest and will probably appear at
the Injecting OF lne DOafu.
Declare Plan Is Absurd.
The objectors claim that the idea of
u playground in that section of the
city is absurd On one side of the
site is st. Charles Church, directly
opposite is the Presbyterian Church
and opposite the Peshine avenue side
Of the plot is the Peshine Avenue
andN the st. Charles Schools. On all
sides are the finest residences built
on restricted deeds.
About three blocks east of the pro-
posed playground is Weequahic Park,
less than five minutes walk. Few
children live in the immediate
vicinity the pupils of both the public
and parochial schools coming from
some distance, mostly from the sec
tion west of the schools. To build q
playground IN place where there Is
SO little of it would be the height Of
folly, the objectors point out.
The Recreation Commission has
already adopted resolution asking
the city to condemn the land. Post
master Frank j. Book is manager of
the company which is said to he the
owner of the property.
1t was said today that other OBJ
iectiOns besides those of the Wee
quahic residents might be heard.
Several aldermen who for years have
been trying to have Fairgrounds es-
tablished in their sections of the city,
which they have claimed were badly
in need of them, are said to have been
stirred mp by the alleged attempt 5f
the commission to put a playground
where ii is not needed while neglect
ing other parts of the city. Objec-
tions might be heard from these
sources as well as from citizens who
might kick on the alleged eXtrava-
gance.
Mr.. Tansey refused to say what
action he might take in the event of
the board refusing to reconsider its
action. Others interested in the pro-
test intimated that the fight would
be carried to the courts.
