Increased Value in Farm Crops

WASHINGTON. Nov. 8-The ma
tons principal farm crops this year
are worth about five and a half bill
lion dollars. exceeding by more than
half billion their value in 1914, the
previous banner value year in the
country's crop history.
Statistics announced today by the
department of agriculture in its No
yember crop report base values on
prevailing November prices. Corn,
with production of 5000. 100000 bush
e s-34000,000 bushels below the
record crop is worth $1.913,0 OIL,
the most valuable cron crop ever
grown. 1t exceeds the former big
gest value crop-that of 1914 by
$190.000,000
Wheat with the largest production
ever known in any country 1902 29,
900 bushels, or about one-fourth of
the worlds wheat crop this year, is
worth s932,88S, 900 or $4,000, 900
more than the record made in 1914.
The oats crop also was a record one
both in production and in value The
harvest was 1517,478.0O0 bushels
almost 100.000000 bushels better than
the record of 1912-and its value,
$532599.822, is 100000 more than
the record value of the 1914 crop.
Barley, rye. sweet potatoes, hay and
rice were record crops in point of
production and tobacco almost equal
ly its best production. The rice and
hay crops were records in point of
value
In this years harvest the corn crop
passed the three billion bushels mark
for the first time, and the wheat crop
crossed the one billion bushel mark
for the first time.
Potato prospects declined 9,000,-
600 bushels during October, the crop
now being placed at 1853 ,253 900 bush
els. That is 100000 less than
last years crop and the prospective
moderate supply for winter use is
reflected in the sharp advance in
farm products from 4S7 cents a bush
ell in October to 60 cents on Novem-
Der l. The November l price is 8
cents higher than a year ago The
crop is shortest in the northern states
which grow the surplus of the late
crop. The quality, too, is below
average.

Prescott People Should Not Wait Un-

 The appalling death-rate from kid ney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms often give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer may slip gradually into some serious form of kidney complaint.
 If you suffer from backache, head aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre- uons are irregular of passage and un- natural in appearance, do not delay. Help t5e kidneys at once. s,.,..-. -, .,,. ~
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for kidney disorders they act where others fail Over one hundred thous- and people have recommended them
 Here Is one of many cases in this VI cinity:

ooPt.EDWELL

am memLer Of the board OF n
trustees for CulioWhee township and
/ very much regret the bad condi-
ton of the road from here to Sylvia.
Our board has done its best to get a
a good road to Sylvia. The grade is
fine and the road has been sanded
and quite lot of it graveled and
sanded, but after all the road is
4ulte muddy. All new roads are
muddy the first winter alter they
are built. | am Of the opinion that
if the roads are kept properly crown
ed and the sand and clay properly
mixed, that by May the road bed
will become firm, and the mud will
never be so bad any more. In
times of rainy weather, if teamsters
would stay off the roads for a few
DAYS, the roads would never get so
bad; but instead they keep right on
hauling until the roads are impass-
!, able. then they are forced to stop
off twice as long before they can
haul again. These roads are cost.
ing lot of money, and it should
be the ambition of every good citi-
zen to see to it, that the roads are
properly protected until they have
I time to thoroughly settle and pack.
1t would be more economical in the
long run, and would insure far bet
ter roads.

S The high cost of living and the

TRY THIS FOR NEURALGIA.

Thousands of people keep on suf-
fering with Neuralgia because they
do not know what to do for it. Neu-
ralgia is a pain in the nerves. What
you want to do is to soothe the.
nerve itself. Applys Sloan's Lini-
ment to the surface over the pain
part-d0 not rub it in. Sloan's
Liniment penetrates very Quickly
to the sore, irritated nerve and al
lays the inflammation. Get a bottle
of Sloans Liniment for Is cents at
any druggist and have it in the
house-against Colds, Sore and
Swollen Joints, Lumbago, Sciatica
and like ailments. Your money
back if not satisfied, but it does
give almost instant relief.
