Banner Grain Yield.
Talking about banner grain yield
in Ohio this year-read this!
Official estimates of the United
States department of agriculture for
Sept. have it that the Buckeye state
this year has produced more than last
year:
Corn-46,00O,0 bushels.
Wheat-18,00 bushels.
Oats-31, 100000 bushels.
Potatoes-10,OOO,0O bushels.
Rye-400,000 bushels.
The oats crop exceeded all expecta-
tions and is second only to the record
crop of 1912.
In hay and apples, however, there
is slight decrease from last year;
and in tobacco a considerable, and
peaches a large falling off. The peach
crop in some sections is an entire
failure.
Post-harvest results generally bear
out the optimistic predictions through
the summer of State Secretary of Ag-
riculture Shaw and are blow to ca
lamity howlers of June and July, who
said Ohio's corn, oats and potato pro-
duction was going to smash.
The corn crop, the Washington
bureau says, is not entirely past the
danger period; it is 10 to 20 days late
in maturing and an early heavy frost
would damage it greatly.
! Estimates in bushels are:
Corn-Sept. 1, this year, forecast
1852, 100000; production last year (De-
cember estimate), 115,762,000.

year, 2O,25O,OOc,

year, 1,0S8,OO0
Potatoes-This year. 16,560,00O;
last year, 100000.
Tobacco-This year, 91,SOO,0Oc
pounds; last year 95,OO0,00O.
Hay-This year, 4,05O,O00 tons; last
year, 4,870,00e.
Apples-This year, 2,460,O00 barrels
of three bushels each; last year, q,
$4,000.
Prohibition Amendment.
The constitution provides that bott
laws and constitutional amendments
adopted by referendum votes of the
people shall go into effect 80 days
, after the vote by which they are
adopted is taken. But the schedule
of the pending prohibition amend
ment contains the provision that, i
adopted, it shall suppress the liquo1

: after the date of it's adoption. This il
} not a violation of the constitutional
