So it will be seen that the Farm
Loan Act, in addition to providing a
way for the farmer to borrow to the
'limit of safety, provides that he
must put his borrowed money to
productive uses, and furnishes the
machinery to get him out of debt in
an honorable and business-like way.
The Farm Loan Act helps the farmer
means to help himself. It makes
for business initiative and independ-
ence.

Increasing the scope of the income tax

least for the present, and it IS expected that
the proposed bill will satisfy the national
deficit which, though it represents only a
temporary condition, has begun to pile up

a direct result of the classification work, a
total of 13, AT, 781 acres has been elimin-

So far only few names have been
mentioned OF course everyone knows
about the Judgeship contest between
Messrs. johnson and Station.
For the Senatorship the names of
Senator Harrison and Hon William d.
Corddry have been mentioned, but il ia
not known to us if either of them will
be candidate.
II is said there is quite n stir in the
camp of the opposition party over the
nomination for the Senatorshp. and the
matter was being pretty thoroughly
sifted by the friends OF Ashburn and
Wimbrow at Ocean City last Sunday
afternoon. II seems that the regular
Republicans want Wimbrow. and the
assistant Republicans want Ashburn.
The Republican newspaper at Pocomoke
City, last week. attempted to shelve
Ashburn by suggesting that he would
make good County Commissioner.
This was no doubt inspired by the
friends of MIR. "Windblow. as some

Corn Outlook Unusually Good.

The outlook for record.breaking
corn crop is unusually good just at this
moment. though there are possibilities
which may somewhat reduce the enor-
nous expected yield
In many cases. owing to the late
spring, cotton was plowed up and corn
planted in its stead For several years
the South has been raising about 30 per
cent Of all the corn grown in the coun-
try. and bids fair this season to increase
that proportion. If corn fuliills its pres
ent wonderful promise of an uneXam-
Piled yield, it will be due very largely
to unceasing industry and intelligent
cultivation by the American farmer.
There was never a crop handled with
greater and more watchful care. Its
growth and yield this year is the best
answer to that constantly unfounded
statement as to the superiority of the
European agricuturist over our own
domestic product when the facts are all
the other way"
There is also greater acreage. and
an almost certainty of greater produc-
ton of broom corn. and the sorghum
grains, kailr. milo and feterita, than
any previous year. The harvest of oats
is especially remarkable for the abun-
dant yields per acre in nearly all sec
tions. but here and there the plant has

BUMPER CROPS
ARE FORECASTED
Enormous Crops OF Wheat, Corn
And Potatoes Are To Be
Harvested This Year

Agents of the United States
Government have reported enor-
nous crops throughout the
country. This optimistic report
is made up from personal obser
vations of corps of men CON
Stantly in the field under the di-
rection of Archer Wall Douglas,
of ST. Louis Chamber of Com
mercc. chairman of the committee
on statistics OF the chamber. 1t
shows that wheat. corn and pota-
toes will lead in the promised yield
this year and that enormous har-
vests may be expected. The re-
port, in part says
"The total Yields Of both spring and
winter wheat combined will in all prob
ability be greater than the results Of
1915 This is said to be due largely TO
increased production per acre, which,
after nll, il the real measure Of crop
outputs.
In all sections, with the exception
of the Pacific Coast. the winter wheat
is said to have exceeded earlier expec-
tations both as to quality and yield, and
many fields that We're given up entirely
have brought forth bountifully.
Spring wheat. starting out under
most favorable conditions. has gone
somewhat backward owing to prolonged
dry weather in the northern portion Of
North Dakota westward to the ocean.
and in some sections of the Pacific slope
Elsewhere, it is doing very well and if
it be spared the fatal blight Of black
rust which in August last year wrought
such incalculable damage. it promises a
yield OF one hundred and twenty to
one hundred and fifty million bushels
more than last year
