WASHINGTON, Dec 16.--A huge

ure.
The governments appeal, made be-
fore peace was in sight, that an acre
age of 47,50Q,0C0 was desirable, to-
gether with the guaranteed price of
$2.20 bushel, spurred the farmers to
extraordinary effort, the departments
announcement said. As result 49,-
O27,O00 acres were planted during a
long and almost perfect season.
The fall growing season has been
one of the finest ever known, resulting
IN the crop beng in the best condlulon
ever recorded at this date and giving
promise of heavy yields.
The condition Of the crop on Decem-
Der l was 9S.5 per cent of a normal
yield, compared with 1913 year ago
S5.7 in 1916 and ten-year average
of SS.2.
Allowing for the average spring
abandonment of acreage due to winter
hlillng, the department. announced that
winter wheat gives promise OF a total
production of 100 ,OUU,UUU bushels. An
average spring wheat crop would place
next years production OF wheat beyond
l,UUU. 900 bushels and exceed the
record crop of 1915. Last years spring
wheat production was 3o3,uOU,OO0 bush
els.

there was no other way.
Armistice terms are not peace
terms. In the peace terms that are TO
come there will be set forth the COM
pleter reparation that must be made
by the German people for the wrongs
they have done to others and TO the
world and there will be provided pun
ishment for the criminals responsible
fer those wrongs. The long arm OF
justice will find Wilhelm Hohenzollern
wherever he may be hiding. as 1t will
find all the other criminals and there
will be provision for keeping the Ger
man hordes forever in check so that
never again will they be IN position
TO bring another such horror upon
the world.
What is set forth in the terms OF
armistice is beginning in the right
direction. When the good work is
completed the world will be saved.

all reverence. "Mine eyes have seen

a firm and unanimous insistence.

TAKE CARE OF THE MACHINERY

The farmer is confronted by a new
problem, the shortage OF farm ma
chinery and repair parts, due 10 the
diversion of steel to Government use.
In view of this difficulty, il the nee
essary standard of food production is
to be maintained, the best possible
care OF present supplies is absolutely
essential. Intelligent operation, COM
prehension of weak points, care in
cleaning and oiling, with frequent
overhauling and immediate attention
to small repairs. all are necessary il
the machines are TO last over until a
new supply is available.
Old, discarded machinery should be
carefully looked over as a possible
source of supply for needed repair
parts.
The pound-foolish neglect of ex-
pensive farm machinery which has too
often been the fault Of the usually pen
ny-wise tiller of the soil must be COM
pletely reformed, if the machinery
now available is to meet the strain to
which II must be subjected. The best
way to inaugurate the reform move
ment is for farmers to begin at once
putting under shelter all the machin-
cry they have standing exposed to the
weather.

VALE! KAISER BILL
[written for The capitall

written for The Capital
Good Uncle Sam rejoice.
Each nephew raise your voice
And shout aloud
Hurrah our noble boys
Have added TO world joys
BY Guns that made loud noise
And scattered cloud.
The cloud that Kaiser Bill
Had by his wicked will
Cast DER the earth
All nations brought to war
He went entirely too far
More than his worth.
He touched on Uncle Sam
The great chap that is game;
oh great mistake.
For Uncle's nephews true,
Took up their guns and flew
With smoke the air made blue,
Old Bill did quake.
The Kaiser yelled to Fritz:
DOS Yankees give US fits,
Vot must we do?
Dey shoot dot great big gun
Dos bullets from dem run
Mein gott dot is no fun
b For me and you.
l dink ! get away
1t is no blaze to stay
Before dot Sam;
He dakes mein nerve away,
No longer / have sway
Let's run for life this day
Shust so pc damn.
So Kaiser Bill has run
Way from the Yankee gun,
He had enough.
He wandered far away,
He does not feel so gay,
In Berlin he can't stay,
His lot is tough.
Autocracy shall fall,
Crushed by a mighty wall
OF Yankee boys.
Democracy shall rise
High as the lofty skies,
Save me-" the Kaiser cries
From Samuel's noise.
You wicked scamp, farewell,
You've got tatse of h,
You're on its sill.
No more you'll rule on earth,
From present time henceforth
All men will yell with mirth:
Vale! Kaiser Bill.
