SIXTY MILLION BUSHELS

Sixty million bushels of wheat rails
ed in Ohio in 1918; that is the mark
set by the Ohio Soil and Crop Improve
ment Committee representing the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton and the College Of Agriculture.
Following is the line Of reasoning
by which the committee arrive at the
conclusion stated in the foregoing:
"Many well informed people believe
the war will continue for from five to
ten years. Those in authority at
Washington are making preparation
for at least three year war. The in
formation which the Federal authori-
ties possess is better than ours, and
it is scarcely logical for US 30 pit our
judgment against theirs. The prob
lem for each of US is what we can DO
to serve our country best in this crisis.
Evidently the farmer can render his
best service by producing more food.
Large quantities of wheat have been
buried in the ocean. The vast armies
large supplies of food stutfs. The
acreage of wheat in France has been
materially reduced. Russian grain is
/ IlOI dNdlldDlo LOT HApOEG AuSItdlld
and India are too far away to make
transportations easy under war condi-
tions. Reports from South America
are not encouraging. The greater part
of the export wheat must come from
Canada and the United States. The
latest estimates indicate that the Unit
ed States will harvest very little more
wheat in 1917 than we normally use
for bread and seed. In 1916 the pro-
duction of wheat in the United States
was seventy million bushels below the
average.
Ohio owes it as her contribution to
the worlds food supply in 1918 to pro
duce sixty million bushels Of wheat
She has produced fifty million bushels
and she can more than do it again
This means that it will be necessary tC
increase our acreage from two mil
lion to three million, which was the
acreage in 1880 and again in 1899"
We have only this to add by way OF
comment: We haven't land to grow
wheat on, but if we were farmers anC
did have the land we should be glaC
to join in this campaign for sixty
million bushels of wheat in Ohio il
1913 and we should want to get al
, the help and information we coulC
from both the Experiment Station anC
College Of Agriculture.

CROP REPORTS

The following notes on the official
report of condition of crops in Ohio
for July 1st, issued by the secretary
Of the Ohio Board of Agriculture are
of more than usual interest at this
time:
Wheat prospects compared with nor
NAL yields is estimated at 100 per
cent. which is gratifying to producers,
considering the discouraGng pros
pect presented very early in the sea-
son. The result of threshing may in
crease this estimate, as correspond
ents generally report it is well head
ed. The weather has been most favor
able to its growth and ripening, as it
shows an improvement of p points
since report of one month ago.
In anticipating the total yield of
wheat for the State consideration must
be given to the short area seeded, be-
ing 1853 acres short of a 10 year
average. However, with the high
average production per acre, the total
yield will not fall far short of a 10
year average crop.
The area of corn shows an increase
of 1913 per cent. as compared with
last year, or about 324, $50 acres.
The condition of the crop as COM
pared with an average is 80 per cent.
Damage by cut WORM 8 per cent, by
grub, two. The excessive wet weather
is retarding cultivation.
Potatoes have increased in area as
compared with last year 15.4 per cent.
or about 1921 acres. The present
prospects for a crop are very good,
showing 90 per cent. of a full average.
Last year the potato crop was about
one half an average. With the in
creased acreage this year and the bet
ter prospect for product, the potato
crop in Ohio promises to be very large.
The area of field beans reported last
month was 1901 acres with condi-
tion of IS per cent. This months re
port shows an increase of 6221 acres,
with a growing condition of "a per
cent.
Meadows very light and weedy.
Tobacco area compared with last
year 90 per cent.
Weather conditions were unfavor-
able to plant growth. Cut worms are
doing considerable damage.
Average Prices
Wheat $3.50 per bushel.
Corn 81 60 per bushel.
Rarlev S130 per bushel.
Oats 70 cents per bushel
Rve S1.65 per bushel.
Potatoes 1929 per bushel.
Hav S1398 per ton.
Alfalfa $15.62 per ton.

RED CROSS WORK
tContinued from page u

cause in the personal opinion of some
the war will soon come to a conclusion;
the opinion of officials in Washington
who are acquainted with the conditions
that obtain in Europe and who because
of their official position know the in
ner details of the situation, is that
the war is likely to continue from
three to five years; as a matter of fact
no one can know positively. The best
way to meet an emergency is to be
prepared for it. We cannot over do
this Red Cross work. There are not
too many women already worsing, but
too few. Every woman in the com
munity is needed to give what time she
can and to do what work she can in
this cause. All honor to those who
have responded and all honor to those
whos will, for our country never has
and never will appeal in vain to the
patriotism of its women, and the hour
has struck when they are called to
work together regardless of class OF
caste, religious or educational distinc-
tions. Democracy is unity and Demo-
cracy includes women as well as men,

CORK LEGS BARRED

Believing that the use of a cork leg
should not prevent him from serving
his country, John Franklin walked
over fifty miles from farm near Will
burton, to Muskogee, Oklahoma, to
apply for enlistment in the United
States Marine Corps.
Franklin had spent two months
ploughing the fields previous to his
long walk, and supported himself on
the hike by working at odd jobs along
the way. He surprised the Marine
Corps medical examiner by walking
without the slightest sign of lameness.
Although Franklin expressed the
opinion that his cork leg should be
considered handy life preserver in
case of submarine attack, he was not
accepted.
