While the crop figures for agricul.
ture during 1917 show double the
values of any former year 1t is point.
ed out at Washington that this is
creating a wrong impression as to
food production since everybody does
not stop to consider that the values
this year are up 100 per cent or more
in most staples. Yet the crop of 1917
as a whole was an excellent one, but
emphasis is placed upon the fact that
is is not yet big enough to meet the
worlds needs, and that even better
figures of actual production should
be striyen for during the coming
year. Corn, the greatest crop, was
irregular. in many sections fully ma
tured ears being found beside those
in the milk. Indications are that the
quantity of soft corr will be the larg-
est in recent years, which fayors a
large run of hogs later.
