A YEAR OF SHORT CROPS.

Crops are small this year as
compared wish last, taking the
country over. The total product
ion of wheat this year is estimat-
ed at Gil, 900, 900 bushels against
l,0l2, 100000. Corn makes a
better showing, with an es-
timated yield this year, and a ten
year average of 738,0OO,0OO.
Corn makes a somewhat better
showing, with an estimated yield
this year of 2,71O, 100000 bushels
against 3,055, 100000 last year,
and ten-year average of 2,732,
100000. The oat crop is 1921, :
600, 600 bushels against l, $40, 900,
600 last year. Barley falls off
So, 100000 bushels, rye more than
1000, 600; Irish potatoes, al, 1000,
600 bushels, sweet potatoes, s.
100000. The apple crop is 9, OOO,-
600 barrels smaller than last year.
On the other hand, the tobac-
co crop is larger than last years
by GO. 900. 900 mounds and the
cotton crop by 100000 bales.
The rice crop is larger by nearly
1000, 600 bushels, and the hay
crop by a million tons. All of
these crops are above the ten
year average except cotton,
which is $500, 900 bales short.
Summing up, it may be said
that hay is the single important
exception to the small yield of
food and feed crops. The farm

A FLAG OVER EVERY SCHOOL

Many of the schools and some
country schools keep our contry's
flags waving abov their building
or over their Fairgrounds. This
is a commendable practice and
should become general.
The Stars and Stripes, our ma
tional emblem, should mean much
toevery American. 1t stands for
the best things of our country, e.
quail right to all, equal opportuni-
ty for everyone, the privilege of
self-government, and for human
liberty in the western hemis-
phere. For these principles pa
triots in the past have bled and
died, and this memory makes the
flag treasured and more worthy
of reverence. Now the duty falls
on every American of keeping
the flag true to these same ideals
and of protecting it from any en-
roachments from the outside.
A flag over every school will
help in fostering the spirit of pa
triotism that has been let go to
sleep in many heart. 1t is there
still and can be aroused. The
wavine of the Stars and Stripes
and national music help to quick
en- the patriotism. Teacher and
pupils catch the spirit and it per-
vades their work.
More patriotism is needed as
much in..times of peace as in pre-
paration fortpossible,, war that we
hope will never come. 1t is needed
to stimulate men to stricter OBJ
searvance of law and to the fuller
of the principal embed
led in the Constitution, that guar
antees equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.
The flag need not be expensive,
but it should be over every school
every fair day. Let the duty of
the raising lowering the flag be
shifted so that many will have
the honor during the school ses-
sion. 1t will. not be long until
each boy will begin to look far
ward eagerly to the day when it
will be his time to take care of
The flag. This early interest in
The flag will help make a better
citizen of him when he becomes
man.

CHILDLESS PARENTS.

| saw an old man the other day
who was apparently deeply dis
treSsed at the prospect that
he would have to go to a Mason
ic home to spend the rest of his
days. He had raised a family of
boys and girls, working hard and
steadily to give them all a good
start in life. The girls had mar
ried well" as we say; the boys
were making fair salaries. One
of them is in an Eastern city,
the others in the West. The old
man could not live with the boys
in the West because of the alti-
tude He came back to his ma
tive town where the girls lived,
but they would not take him in.
The bachelor son in the East
makes enough to spare his father
a comfortable living for his old
age, but he does not. So the old
man, turned away by his own
children, goes to spend his last
days as a dependent upon his
order.
| would accuse no one unjustly.
Old people often fail to fall in
with new ways and new condi-
tons. Still, honorable old age
cannot justly be crowned with
humiliation and shame. To turn
ones father or mother over to
the care of strangers seems to be
about as unenviable responsible
