CITY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO FARM

of the institutes. says:
CAS- you know, Farmers Institutes
have passed the experimental stage.
The development along all ~agricultur-
al lines is a silent testimony of their
worth to the farmers Of he State.
But we are not content with past
achievements. We want to go for
ward and lend our influence to i still
higher agricultural development.
This year we are laying emphasis
on d~iversification of crops; soil inn
provement; more live stock; more
corn, wheat. oats, hay, etc., so as TO
make our farms self supporting and
enable our farmers to keep-the. money
at home that has heretofore hcen go
ing to other to other states to pur.
chase the things that we should grow
at home. Anything that you can say
to help bring the farmers out to the
Institutes, and help bring about the
wholesome condition of growing our
own feed and food products will be
greatly appreciated.
"It is our purpose to hold a Wo-
mems institute in connection with the
institute for men. We want the far
mers' wives and daughters to attend
these Institutes. While the men are
discussing farm crops, we want the
women to be discussing the more im-
portant topics of health, food for the
family, how to tighten women's work.
the care of children, the value of a
garden, the necessity of fresh milk
and butter in the home, and a number
of other things that lie close to the
hearts of the women on the farm"

RECORD ACREAGES OF ALL
PRINCIPAL CROPS PLAN

- "a L A@1a
Washington, July S.-American far
mers, confronted with feeding the
world while Europe is at war, have
planted record acreages of all princi-
pal crops. Moreover, official esti-
mates, made public today by the de-
partment of agriculture, disclose pros.
poets of production exceeding the av-
orage of the last six years in almost
every important crop.
Based on the growing conditions on
July 1, some foodstuff crops give
promise of new records. Their monev
values promise records accordingly.
Corn, greatest. and most valuable of
all American farm products, shows an
acrea Of los, 273 900 acres-half a mil.
lion more than ever Beforehand is ex.
pected to produce 2,S14,00 900 bush
els.
Despite wet and cold weather for
seven weeks which has retarded
growth and cultivation in the impor,
sant corn states and forced the condi-
ion 3.5 per cent below the t~en-year
average, the new crop is estimated to
3e LOG. 100000 bushels greater thar
he last ten years average and 141.-
000,0 900 greater than last years pro-
lction.
The outlook for the billion bushel
wheat yield continues to grow. Latest
! estimates raise the prospective r
duction to 963 900, 900 bushels, an in
crease of thirteen million bushels
since the last estimate. Winter wheat
however. shows a 81 per cent drop in
condition which reduces it's prospec-
tive production by 5000, 900 bushels.
This is ascribed to rains in Nebraska
Kansas and Oklahoma. Other states
were reported practically the same OF
better than a month ago..
