ALL CROP YIELDS INCREASING

Referring to the increase in crop
yields throughout the country, the
Chicago Breeders Gazette prints the
following interesting editorial:
"Crop yields are gradually increas-
ing in this country. Figures for the
most important crops have been chart
ed by the department of agriculture
for the period since 1875. The general
trend Of yields was downward until
about 1890, when improvement began
During the last 20 years there has
been a decided increase in yields.
Stripping the charts Of yearly indi-
vidual crop variations, the line plat
ted for ten crops reveals rise OF
about is per cent in 20 years. The
improvement is greatest in potatoes,
hay and wheat, but corn, oats, barley
and cotton show distinct gains. APP
parently the combination of better
seed and improved soil management
inaugurated about quarter Of CEN
