4 FAMINE IN
UNDERWEAR
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Especial to Times-Recorder.)
ATLANTA, Ga August 2.-Never
was there a happier time than the
present for the prophecy, which local
expert observers make. that there
will be a famine in wooden underwear
before the coming winter is over in
the United States, due to conditions
caused by the war.
People sweltering in the dog-day
heat, tanning and trying to cool off
with iced lemonade, have to have a
pretty vigorous imagination to allow
themselves to worry over such sub
ject, but nevertheless the outlook is
said to be serious.
The lucky ones will be the people
who wear cotton underwear all year
round, common enough custom IL
Georgia, and this section of the South
1t is predicted, so far as WOODEN I'M
derwear is concerned, that the short
age will become so serious as to ma
terially raise and perhaps double the
retail prices.

CROPS returns FAR
SURPASS ESTIMATES

Unprecedented harvest returns are
shown in the Department of Agricul-
lures report made from a canvass OF
conditions the country over on No
vember /. Previous reports have in
dictated bumper crops, but yesterdays
goes beyond any of the previous ones
in the hopefulness which 1t holds out
for the immediate future. Many crops
are showing production records which
may remain unbroken for years.
Favorable weather in October re-
suited in the departments estimate OF
the corn crop for 1918 being raised to
5000. sos, 900 bushels. which is an in
crease of $1,000, 900 bushels over the
estimate made on October l. This corn
crop is compared with 2,672.sO4,000
bushels in 1914. and an average of
2,70s,344,oo0 bushels for the five years
from 1909 to 1918.
The farm price for corn on Novem-
Der / was 61.9 cents a bushel, as COM
pared with 70.5 cents a bushel a year
ago. The corn crop on the basis OF
the present price is. therefore, worth
s1.s13, 100000.
The wheat crop will equal almost
one-fourth of the worlds entire out
put. 1t will establish a record never
before reached by that crop in any
nation. The American harvest this
year exceeds the previous record pro-
duction of wheat in this country by
more than 10000 900 bushels.
