GERMAN CROPS VERY SHORT.
Forty Per Cent Below Normal-Total
Harvest Less Than Half of 1918.

London, Oct. lS.-The Press association
from reliable source, prints an econom-
lie review of the condition of the central
powers, in the course of which it SAYS
that as result of a special investigation
ordered by the chancellor Of the 1917
harvest, it is estimated that the yield
viii be forty per cent lower than in nor
NAL years for wheat and forty-five per
cent lower for rye. oats and barley. The
total harvest of wheat and rye amounts
to 100000 tons, compared with 10000
900 tons in 1913. The shortage will be
partly compensated from the Ruman
granaries.
The reviewer considers that the food
situation in Germany during the coming
winter viii depend mainly on the re-
suits OF the potato harvest. At present
potatoes are being delivered with fair
regularity. but should frost, lack of la
Dor or other reasons cause a shortage
in potatoes, il may well spell disaster

THE UNION DRY GOODS COMPANY

who are now discussing the proposed
plan with their state governors.
1t is proposed to formulate in each
local draft district a table of all regis.
trants, placing each in a column denot.
! ing his dependents and industrial value
| in the wars prosecution. For instance
| horizontal columns or classifications
would be based on dependency. Men with
no dependents would be placed in the
first class, those with dependents, dis
tant relatives, in the second class, those
with wives in the third class, those with
wife and one child in the fourth class,
and so on.
Similarly the vertical columns might
represent certain industries arranged ac
cording to their respective merit as war
necessities. Industrial classes under con
sideration in this condition are farmers,
shipyard employees, munition workers,
steel plant, and motor industry workmen,
and certain other individual plants or
industry branches to be designated from
time to time by the president or the war
department as temporarily essential.
The latter classification might include
plants making military clothing, harness,
first aid materials, or professions such as
chemists and other scientific men more
needed for war research than to carry
arms.
Thus the table with horizontal de-
tendency classifications and vertical in
dustrial classifications would hold place
for each registrant in accordance with
his dependency or industrial value claims |

'endents and highest industrial value
