due largely to the dry hot weather.
Inc August l forecast for the entire
United States is 71,60O,000 barrels,

production last year of 76,700,00O
barrels and in the preceding five

VIII probably be smaller than last
years big crop, but somewhat larger
than an average crop. Conditions
vary however, in different sections.
In the New England states 4,S64,0O0

Z,So2,0OO last year. Baldwins are
reported to be short, however. In
New ork the forecast is 12,062,000
barrels, compared with S,52S,000 last
year, and in Pennsylvania 6,562,000,
compared with 5,0S5,000 last year.
1t thus appears that the north Allan

Barley

The August / forecast of the bar
ley crop of the United States is 1861
600, 900 bushels, or only 1900, 900
bushels less than the July l forecast;
however, this is a fairly large pro-
ducton. for, although $4,000, 900
bushels smaller than the unusually
large crop of 1915, it is 5000, 900
bushels larger than the average of
the preceding five years, and larger
than all former crops except 1915
and 1912. Barley is grown very
largely in the spring wheat belt, but
1t did not suffer from rust and blight
as did the wheat. 1t is used both for
brewing and feeding, the better
grades usually for brewing. Several
years ago AZ per cent of the crop was
estimated to be fed on farms, but the
proportion so used has been increas-
ing in recent years. The quantity of
barley exported is seldom more than
100000 bushels, but 27,0OO,O0O
bushels of the 1914 crop and approx
mately 100000 of the 1915 crop
was exported. Prices on August !
averaged about 59.3 cents per bushel
or 9. 6 cents more than year ago

Rye

The rye crop declined from a
promise Of 100000 bushels on
July to 100000 bushels on Au-
gust /. This decline was principally
in Minnesota, North Dakota, Ne
braska, and Michigan, and reflects a
disappointingly low outturn from the
thin stand of the grain in those
states. The eastern crop about full
filled expectations, yielding about Z
bushels average per acre.
The quality of the crop is 91.7,
one or two per cent below the aver
age.

Potatoes

The August / condition of the po-
tato crop forecasts about an average
production, taking the United States
as a whole. The forecast is 1854 ,000,-
600 bushels, which is 100000 less
than the July l forecast, but 5,OOO,-
600 more than last years production
and 100000 more than the aver
age of the preceding five years. Dur
ing July prospects improved moder-
ately in the north Atlantic states and
the Pacific coast states, but declined
in most of the central states, where
there has been insufficient rainfall
and abundance of potato bugs. The
crop in the north Atlantic states is
not likely to be particularly large,
although somewhat larger than last
years short crop. The same might
be said of the Michigan and Wiscon-
sin prospects. In most other central
states. from Ohio to Nebraska, the
indications are for moderately small
err Yields than last year. In the Pa
cific coast sections prospects are Tor
somewhat better yields than last
wear. In the Pacific coast sections
prospects are for somewhat better
Yields than last year. Potato prices
declined during the past month but
continued higher than usual, the aY-
erage for the United States on Au-
eust being 95.4 cents busheL
COMPARED with 56.3 cents a year ago.
The foreign trade in potatoes is sell
dom more than two or three million
bushels-insignificant in comparison
with the production. Later in the
season the bureau of crop estimates
will estimate for the first time the
production of potatoes in the United
states classified by times of harvest
ing and disposing of the crop so as
70 show what portion of the crop IS
"early" potatoes and what portion Is
"late."

Wheat

Wheat
Winter wheat declined "a 900 0G0
bushels in promised production, the
bulk of this decline being in Kansas,
where yields have fallen far below
what was anticipated a month ago.
The quality of the winter wheat crop,
however, is good, 92.3, compared
with the very low condition of 81
last year, and an average of 91.1.
Spring wheat suffered to some extent
from heat and dry weather during
the filling stage, resulting in some
very seriously from black rust. The
last of June and the first week of
July brought a period of hot, rainy
weather in the spring wheat belt,
with heavy dews and accompanied by
high humidity, conditions most pro-
pitious for the rapid development of
the destructive black rust. In some
sections the loss was almost total
and over large areas, from 25 to SO
per cent of damage was done. These
damaging influences during July re-
duced the prospective yield of 271,-
100000 bushels to a present indi-
Gated total of 1919, 900 bushels
The total production of all wheat
has therefore declined from July l
figure of 759,000,000 bushels to an
August l promise of 654 100000, an
amount but little in excess of the
probable needs of the country, leav-
ing but slight margin of the pres
ent promised crop for export.

A Faithful Horse

Recently a small force of Unit ed States colored troops was at- tacted by much larger force of Mexicans. A few of our colored boys escaped, and here is the story told by one of them:
 Our troop with Captian Boyd commanding had pulled up before Carrizal. The captain ordered everyone to dismount, and we all got down. 1 was a horse holder and l took charge of some ani- mals while the riders stood at at- tentiOn.
 The next thing 1 knew the shooting had started. I looked around. Captain Boyd was down and I could not see him. 1 kept on looking. There were easily seven hundred Mexicans around us. They had come right up out of the ground, forming a half circle. Our men kept on falling. The first shot came from a ma- chine gun.
 It was not more than two minutes before the Mexicans had surrounded us. We were right there in the middle, fighting like the dickens. All around the hors- es were rearing and plunging. Every little bit a horse or man would get a bullet and go down. l could not fight, for 1 had to keep thosemounts. Pretty soon my own horse, a great big fellow staggered and whined. They had hit him in the neck. 1 put my hand on the spot where the blood was spouting. Just then they hit me in the shoulder.
 We did not have a show in the world, and 1 saw it. 1 cut the horses loose and climbed on my animal and hit for the thinnest part of the circle. 1 went right through the Mexicans. My horse brushed two of them out

faithfully, and left him when nothing more could be done.
 The gratitude which the color ed boy felt toward the horse which had saved his life sprung from a real affection which had existed long before. Few of us are indebted to the horse for such a service as this one ren- dered to his soldier master, but most of us owe much of our pros perity to their faithful work. Acknowledgement of this by good care and kind treatment is not only payment in part of very real debt, but it is the cultivation of sentiment which will ennoble the life of any man or boy.

 Here is a beautiful story, told in the simplest way, of the love of a horse.
