A NEW RECORD
4 IN CROP VALUES
Those for Year 1916 Exceed
ed Thirteen Billion
Dollars
HIGH PRICES WERE
RESPONSIBLE
AS Volume Was Less Than
in Some Other
Years

Washington, Jan. l9.-American farm
products attained a gross value of Sl3,
449,000,vo0 in 1915, making that year the
greatest in point of value of any in the
nations existence.
That estimate of the years gross value
of farm crops and animal products, an
nounced yesterday by the department OF
agriculture, exceeds by 674,000,0OO the
total of 1915, the previous record, and
by more than $500, 100000 the value OF
1914.
Crops were valued at $9,lll ,O00o0o
and animal products at $4,33S,O00O0o'
The crop value exceeded that of 1915
by $2,204 100000 and 1914 by $2,299,oo0
900.
Crops alone in 1916 were worth more
than crops and animal products COM
bined in any year prior to 1912.
Four crops in 1916 each exceeded a
billion dollars in value. The corn prod
uct is put at $2,296, 100000; cotton, ST.
4o6,OO0,0OO; hay, $l,l62,0O0,O00; wheat,

O0O wood lot products, 1921 100000; ap-
pies, $ls6,0OO,0O0; barley, $l60,000,0OO.
The level of prices paid to producers
for the principal crops on Dec. /, 1916,
was about SO per cent higher than a
year previous, $40 per cent higher than
two years before and SIS per cent higher
than the average of the previous eight
years on Dec. |.

OUTGREW HER STRENGTH

A fine, tall daughter, the pride of
her parents, may have grown too fast.
If, with her height, she is calm, even
tempered, rosy, with bright eyes and
a springing footstep, you have nothing
to fear for your girl. But this rapid
growth is sometimes gained at the ex-
pense OF her strength. Hayward tenn
per, a constant hunger for sweets, head
aches, and pain in the back and side
after q little healthy exertion mean
that instead OF entering womanhood
smoothly and without disturbance, as
she should, she is paying already the
penalty of thin blood. Watch for
moods. Look, after she has climbed q
hill or run upstairs, for breathlessness,
a color that comes and goes, and q
heart that beats fast and painfully.
These mean anemia, and an anemic
girl will never make a healthy, bloom
ing woman. She is bloodless. Let her
have DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. Soon better appetite, bright
eyes, calm temper and fresher color in
lips and cheeks will tell you she is MAX
ing new blood. Then all will be well.

CANADA TO GIVE
LAND TO TROOPS
A Bill Before Parliament,
Which Meets To-
morrow
DEVONSHIRE
is TO OPEN 1T
A Credit of S30O,OOO,0O0 Is
the Sum to Be
Asked

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 10.--The settlement
of the disbanded soldiers and rural
credits bill form the two most important
bits of legislation in the Canadian Par.
lament, which began its seventh ses-
sion under Premier Borden yesterday.
The only business yesterday was the
election of speaker in the House to
succeed the Hon. Albert Sevigny, who
recently became minister of internal rev.
enue. Adjournment until to-day was
taken then. The session will be for
mally opened by the Duke of Devon
shire, governor general.
Premier Borden has been n invited to
attend the imperial council in Febru-
airy and it is probable the House will ad-
journ during his absence.
The national commission is to be Sc
lected to administer plans for settle
ment OF returned soldiers, which in
cludes the granting of free land to all
soldiers DESTROYS of taking it up, and
the advance of sufficient money to each
man at an extremely low rate of inter-
est to enable him to enter upon, improve
and place his land in profitable cultiva-
ton.
War measures will include in all prob
ability the authorization of further
credit of either $250,000,000 or 100000
600.

Power--Service
3 Increased Water Power-Burlington Contract

After providing an adequate steam-po reserve,
as explained in the preceding advertisement of this
series, the next move of the Ienney manage
ment was to take steps to increase the amount of
water power available.
This was of immediate Importance as the inn
proved service of the company had already created
alargey increased demand for its power service
Two ways of increasing the amount of available
water power were considered:
CD By the completion of undeveloped water
powers owned by the company, or,
81 BY contracting for an additional power supply
from an outside company.
The second method being obviously the quick
est way in which to meet the situation, twenty
five year contract Negotiated with the BurlinS
ton Light & Power Company for power in the
following quantities.
First year 200 horse power
Second year 5000 horse power
Third year $3.50 horse power
Fourth year 300 horse power
Thereafter 1000 horse power
Immediately upon the execution of this contract
transmission line was built bv the Burlington COM
pany to our plant at Bolton Falls, and from that
point we constructed transmission line to
Sub-Staon in Barre.
Transformer capacity ample for the full amount
of our contract was Immediately installed, and the
line was put in operation in February 1914, and
current supplementinS our water power has
been furnished since that date.
Thus during the first year of Tenney management
provision made both for an increased supply of
ter-power and for ample of power the
total increase beng from $3.50 to 1920 horsepower,
about 1000. Tie value of this reliable and sufficient
power supply these communities is, believe fully
appreciated by the business of Montpelier and Barre

TWGTHIRDS OF PERSONS WHO REGISTERED
CLAIM EXEMPTION, OFFICIALS ESTIMATE

Two-thirds of the men registering fo-
service under tie draft act are claim
ing exemption from service, It was
learned last night at the once of
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder. As
only a small percentage Of the claims
will be allowed. 1t is believed. the
total number available will not be
materially reduced.
N two States the actual ,registrat ton
vEceeded the census estimates by large
cures. In Pennsylvania the response
was particularly heavy and caused
great qualification at the War Depart
ment. The census estimate for the
keystone State was given as S79.3ss.
and the actual registration figures
were $4,000. Vermont. too, exceeded
the census estimate by more than 900
The other States heard from dropped
behind the estimated returns, but by
only small margins in most cases, ex-
cept Rhode Island.
While only eight States had been
tabulated at a late hour last night,
War Department officials and officials
working on the registration declared
the totals exceeded their fondest ex-
pectations and offered convincing proof
TO enemies of the United States that
all her citizens arc standing shoulder
10 shoulder in the national crisis.
Returns Coming I'm.
A erica yesterday made her answer
in round figures to Germany's sneering
charge that we bear a wooden sword.
Reports from all corners of the ma
ton last night were being received at
the ofiice OF Provost Marshal General
Crowder on Tuesdays registration for
war service.
These dispatches showed an extraor-
dinary heavy registration, although
apparently not, as at first believed, in
excess Of the census figures of the
number of men subject to the conscrip-
tion act
Figures in almost every State report
ed up to midnight showed the regis
tration totals to be under the census
estimates.
oficials made 1t plain, however, that
10 their opinion this was not due to
stacking oF evasion Of the law.
The census figures. while as accurate
as II was possible to make them. were
based on the censusSof 1910 to which
the Census Bureau hid added its esti-
mate or the growth Of population for
each section. The figures, therefore.
were necessarily somewhat wide of
the mark and not an absolute criterion
for comparison
The War Department made no con-
cealment OF its satisfaction yesterday
at the results OF the registration.
VIII suspend Penalty.
Late yesterday afternoon Provost
Marshal General Crowder made the
important announcement that the
penalty for nonregistration would be
suspended for a short time in order
10 give men who had rallied to register
another chance to comply with the
law.
1T is desired for the next few days
10 pursue liberal policy" said Gen.
Crowder. IT 1t later appears that
