pulated by Bohemians, the govern ment has been following similar at- titude. It seems to be determined to ruin these people completely. In the single month of July no less than 27,- 565 head of cattle were requisitioned in Moravia, and the people in that province were ordered to supply 4O,- 900 head of cattle per month there after It is hot a necessity which has compelled the Austrian government to make these enormous acquisitions. In Hungary no acquisitions have taken
 place to the present day, and the pro-
 ducts of the soil are bought and sold
 on the open market. As a matter of
 fact, the following event exemplifies the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian
 government toward the Czechs. The
 so-called Gees Syndicate of Vienna
 was given power to requisition all of
 the fruits in 2S Czech districts Out
 of the fruit which annually amounts
 to 11,00G carloads, the Gees Syndicate is permitted to ship 5000 carloads to Vienna and 2,000 to Germany, The fruit. which the Syndicate was permit

 The lands of Bohemia are exploited to such an extent as never before in history. Austria realizes that it will be destroyed gut before dismemb ber- ment it is determined to ruin Bohemia completely. If there is anyone who had even a spark of friendship left for Austria he must now turn against it, for the above methods show most plainly that Austria has used it's non German population as a tool for the advancement of its pan-German schemes.

PROVIDERS REPORT.

The Republican considers the re-
port of County Agent w. W. Brow
der, printed in this issue, one of the
classiest bits of reading 1t has offer
ed the public, in its line, for some
time. Although brief Mr.. PROVIDERS
report contains valuable food for
thought and should be read and di-
gested by every citizen Of Ohio eoun-
ty. He sums up his visits, his CON
situations and in part the things ac-
complished by himself since coming
to this county in the capacity of farm
demonstration and makes suggestions
and plans for things to be done in the
future.
The thing, however, that impress
es the writer most forcefully is this
statement" I'VE have vast resources
in the county, equal if not superior
to any in the State and when we full
| ly awaken to the possibilities in this
county, we will have one of the best
in the State" Mr.. Browder has
travelled Ohio county during the past
year, probably more than any other
man. He has made study OF its
I resources and such a statement COM
/ ing from him means more than a
/ mere assertion from a casual OBJ
server. But when, may we ask. are
we to fully awaken TO our posi-
bilities?" Is il to be this year. next
or the indefinite future?
/ These same resources of which
MIR. Browder speaks have belonged
to Ohio county since the pioneers
made it safe dwelling place. but
nevertheless we are far behind many
neighbor counties that have advanced
with less natural resources. We
would not say that Ohio county has
not made strides forward, for she
has. But we will say. without fear
of contradiction, that we have not
taken advantage Of the very resourc-
es that are spoken of i'm the AGENT

HUNGER IS PROSPECT
Rome Agricultural Institute Gives
Figures On Available Amounts
OF Cereals.

Rome, Jan. 1.-The International
Institute Of Agriculture has publish
ed a report under the title HAS the
World Enough to Live Upon Until
the Next Harvest?"
The report took into consideration
five unfavorable factors, the failure
of the Northern Hemisphere harvests
of the year ending July 81 and par
ticularly those of Canada and the
United States; the unreleased crops
of Russia owing to the continued
closing of the Dardenelles; the extra
and unusual consumption of foods by
the armies; tho increased difficulties
of transporting crops; and the fact
that normally the worlds food con-
sumption increases year by year,
partly due to population increases,
and whereby crop which does no
more than to an atecedent average is
actually an insufficient one.
The general conclusion of the re
port, while not favorable, indicates
that if every nation, irrespective OF
those at war, exercises close econo-
my there may be a narrow margin OF
surplus food left at the beginning OF
the next harvest year. 1t is also made
clear that should the next harvest b.

Figures On Wheat.


Figures On Wheat.
The report states: ut is clear
that no one can estimate with any
precision what may he the actual con-
sumption of the world during the
period dividing us from the next har-
vest, However, it places the con-
sumption of wheat in the Northern
Hemisphere countries al 1887 500
600 bushels, adds TO this the con-
sumption of the Southern Hemis-
phere countries, and arrives al to-
tai estimated consumption of 1886
64S,364 bushels. Taking into ac-
count all existing wheat, given this
consumption figure, the report finds
that the wheat surplus by July 81
next will he but AZ, sos bushels,
and that this surplus will exist be
cause of the preceding abundant har-
vest whereby 345,3S5,140 bushels Of
stored wheat were available TO add
to this years consumption. This
years total wheat crop is therefore
but 3,49l, 263.324 bushels, as com
pared to 4,O62,567,OOO bushels last
year.
The report estimates the stores of
Russian wheat so far unavaila BILE for
military reasons at a total of 303.-
$50, 900 bushels. II this wheat is
released at any time within the next
calendar year. the food situation will
be made easier, tho not if the next
harvest fails.
Years Crop Small.
The reports definite figures deal
with five important food crops OF the
Northern Hemisphere. wheat, rye,
barley, oats and corn. 1T should be
borne i'm mind" il states, that these
Northern Hemisphere crops are 95
per cent of those of the whole world
for wheat, S99 of rye, 99.l
of barley, 97S of oats and 94.2 of
corn. The crops in the Northern
Hemisphere lately gathered, taken
as a whole, are undoubtedly bad.
The wheat figures for 1916, 1915
and the average Of the iiye-year per
iod of 1909-13 are respectively $751;
100000 quintals; 1.095,40G quin-
tails. and 925,3lG,0O0 quintals. III
other words, this years crop is only
500 per cent OF that of the previous
year and 94.9 per cent of the average.
a quntal is 2-3 bushels.
For the five cereals, the grand to-
tabs indicate the present years yield
as but SS.7 per cent OF that of 1918
aud 1901 per cent OF the five year
period. These totals are S,1S2,697,-
900 quintals for 1916; 3,5SG.16G,000
quintals for 1915. and 3,l7S.342,-
600 quintals for the five year aver
age.
Taking into count estimates Of the
coming haryeats in the Southern
Hemisphere. the report gives as the
whole worlds surplus mot yield for
these five cereals l72.40S,0G0 quin-
tails (G32,l62.666 bushels and the
total surplus at the disposal of in
ternational trade at 100000 quin-
tails (5l .063.3S2 bushels.)
