While the whales are bringing
wealth to Norway. the report of the
department of agriculture is disap-
pointing as to the amount of crops
yield. which falls about $4,000, 900
below the average year. Fortunately.
the quality of grain has been unusu-

to the war is to the advantage of the
farmers The economic loss, how
ever, will be felt by the country.
