PRODUCTION OF
CROPS is SHORT

(From Manufacturers Record)
The farm crops of the country, based
on the Department of Agriculture's
October report, show decline of over
1,110000,000 bushels of grain, $1,000
COO bushels of potatoes, 100000
bushels of peaches and 10000 900 bar
rels of apples.
The wheat crop is the smallest
since 1914, though our population has
Grown approximately 20,0O0,000 since
then, and Europe is still eagerly buy
ing in competition with home consum,
ers.
Not many years ago we imported a
few cargoes of Argentine corn, but
now, for the first time, we are looking
to that country for wheat, and a cargo
is now on the way to this country.
With a decrease of over 100000 600
bushels of wheat, 337OOO,OO0 bushels
Of corn, 100000 bushels of oats and
63,000,000 bushels of potatoes, exorb-
liant prices for foodstuffs are abso-
lntely certain, and there is no power
in Government to change the effect OF
the law of supply and demand.
We also have a very short cotton
crop, and the certainty that prices for
that STAPLE must average higher than
for many years. and bring to the
South for this crop, seed included,
probably not less than $1,2OO,OO0,OO0.
High prices for labor and steady
tendency to shorter hours, aided and
abetted By the President and Congress,

CHRISTIAN HERALD
GIVES FOR RELIEF

The first large gift-$15, 000-in re-
Spouse to President Wilson's appeal
for the suffering Armenians and Syr-
lans reached the office of Charles r.
| Crane, Treasurer of the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief, 70 Fifth Avenue, this morning.
1t was from the Emergency Relief
Fund of the Christian Herald.
The check received this morning
makes total of $4,000 which the
Christian Herald has sent to Armer-
ia; $4,000 having been cabled some
time ago through the State Depart
ment to Representatives of the Com
mittee in Turkey.
The editors and management of the
Herald are entering into wider pub
licity campaign in behalf of these suf-
fering peoples and stated today that
the check just received would be fol-
lowed by others as rapidly as possible
until provision had been made for at
least the necessities of life for these
people.
The Emergency Relief Fund of the
Herald has from time to time sent
large sums to stricken areas in China,
India, Japan and various portions of
the world. The management, however,
stated today that the great need for
the immediate future was in Western
Asia, where non-combatant people
through no fault of their own, have
been caught between the upper and
neither mill-stones, resulting in fam
lie and restitution that is perhaps
without parallel in modern history,
where as Theodore Roosevelt said
recently "Armenians and Syrian
Christians suffer the last extremity of
horroi."

have already had the effect of making
| it unusually difficult in all parts CT
the country to secure farm labor for
the coming crop season, and yet, I'M
less larger acreage is put in grain and
cotton for next year, we shall have
famine conditions, even if nature
should prove more helpful than this
year
Before another crop season the
country will be practically swept bare
of wheat and corn and cotton, and
prices will go far higher than now
unless there is an assurance, by a
greatly increased acreage, of a larger
yield
In the South it is especially import
ant that every possible effort shall be
made to increase the acreage in food
stuffs, or otherwise high prices of cot
ton will be offset by the enormous
sums this section will have to pay out
for grain and meats.
1t is useless for us to rail against
these conditions, however hard may be
these high prices upon all consumers.
Nature never before, we believe, made
such wide-sweeping losses in all crops
and in all sections of our country as
this year We cannot successfully war
against nature when she withholds
her rains or favors us too much, as
was the case in different sections this
yer. We can only hope for better con-
ditions next year, in order to overcome
the shortage in crops this year. Duty
to national welfare and to avoid fam
inc conditions next year demands that
every business and governmental in
fuence available should put forth to
bring about an increase in acreage for
foodstuffs this fall and next spring.
