WASHINGTON Letter
The Crops Of 1916

Last year the country had bump
er crops" The Department of Agricul'
ture places this years wheat crop at
GIL ,OOO, 900 bushels, which is 411,000,-
600 less than last year. Corn shows a
serious decline. though not nearly so
great as that Of wheat. The hay crop
is very large, which may compensate
largely for the loss sustained in corn.
From the standpoint of the farmer the
small crop might spell disaster unless
prices continue to go up. But wheat
around $3.50 bushel is regarded as
pretty near the limit. II the foreign
countries would take care of their own
food supplies the American crop would
undoubtedly be sufficient for hOm con-
sumption, but the unusual conditions
in Europe make shrinkage in pro-
duction a matter OF rather serious con-
cern. There has been some speculation
as to whether or not alex of COM
mercial fertilizers, composed Of potash
which comes from Germany, has had
anything to do with the crop shrink
age. A study of the crop distribution
shows that the potash shortage is like
ly not a factor for the small crop. The
splendid agricultural methods which
have been adopted throughout the
limited States as a result of the organ
ization of farmers, has doubtless built
up a condition that will make such a
thing as future crop failure impos-
sible.

Mrs. Bass, Campaign Manager


Women and their movements have
leaped forward at such a tremendous
pace that it is only a backward glance
which shows the great distance they
have gone. This is especially true of
the last five years The latest mascu-
line group to realize the value of wo'
mems aid is great national campaign
committee. For the first time in the
history of politics woman is sitting
on such a committee of one of the old
parties. Mrs. George Bass, of Chicago.
is the woman and her voice and her
vote on this committee are important
factors to the Democrats of the coun-
try. First and foremost Mrs. Bass is a
feminine creature She is good to look
upon, with a smile that should be
priceless in, filling a ballot box. For
the last fifteen years, Mrs. Bass has
been associated with all the progress
sive activities of women througbeat
the country Out in Chicago where
Mrs. Bass will vote for President for
the first time, she ever has been in
the vanguard of those interested in
improving the condition of dependent
women and children. She was one of
the original group who secured the
passage of the Juvenile Court law in
Illinois. Then not satified with this ef-
fort she with other women financed
and organized the famous Juvenile
Court for Cook county. In Chicago
womens influence has been strongly
fetl she early championed/ the extern
sion of the small park system. then
she was one OF the first to urge the
municipal playground system, free
bathing beaches and/ an increase of
the recreation facilities in the school
system. Indeed she was one Of the
first agitators in ,the: country to open
to ,the people the public schools for
evening meetings She was one of the
originators In Chicago for civic music
and, rlast ,but not least. she played a
most important part in the passage by

Music, in its original form of "sOng,
