Total rest OF country out
side Of south ............. b1164S0OO 5l4,244,OOO
Applying the August forecast to Georgia, We
find the corn crop of 1917 estimated at 70,590,0 900
bushels against actual yield in 1915 of 64,95O,-
600 bushels and So, 100000 bushels last year. In
the item of wheat the 1917 output is placed by
the department of agriculture at 2,O74,00O bush
els compared with $4,000 for 1915, and $685.
600 bushels last year. While this is an appreciate
and serious falling off in the states wheat produc
tion the loss is than offset by the unusually
large production of other foodstuffs the gain in all
food crops over 1916 being approximately thirty
three per cent and about half this over the crops
of 1915.
This country is due to furnish our allies the
biggest portion of their foodstuns and conserva-
ton of all we have is the primal step in this di-
rection. If we are to continue this through the
coming year, and there is every indication that we
will be compelled to do it is absolutely neces-
sary that the South and the nation plant still
larger wheat and corn acreage. The matter Of
mere money profit should not be allowed to enter
into these calculations. The nation will need to
be fed in 1918, and the South and will do her
full duty.

FAvoRs RADIO BILL.
Secretary Daniels Advocates Govern
ment Monopoly Of Wireless.

Government monopoly Of radio COM
munication as a measure OF national
defense was advocated by Secretary
Daniels Of the Navy in letters address,
ed yesterday to the Senate commerce
committee and the House merchant ma
rine committee. The Secretary dis
cussed the radio control bill. drafted by
an interdepartmental conference. which
has been submitted to Congress.
THE bill covers the purchase Of
coastal stations only-that is. only those
used to communicate with ships-and by
permitting the Navy Department to
open all of its stations to commercial
business. would discourage the ex-
tension Of any existing commercial
systems or the organization of new
systems" the Secretary wrote. THE
department strongly recommends that
the committee provide for the purchase
of all stations used for commercial pur-
poses. The value of existing stations
is constantly increasing, and decisive
action at this time will result in a
saving Of public funds"
