MUST BACK SOLDIERS
WITH LIBERTY BONDS
PEOPLE AT HOME MUST BE AS
RESOLUTE AS THEY ARE
BRAVE, BAKER SAYS.

"The Liberty Loan must go
over the top! Its success is both
our message of gratitude to the
men who are Drawing wars worst
perils in defense Of our liberties
and message to Germany that
our people at home are as reso-
lutte as our soldiers are brave"
This was the feature of the inter-
view given by Secretary of War
Baker upon his return from the bat
tlefront the forepart of this week.
"The army has done and is doing
all that proud and grateful country
could ask" the secretary continued.
"And the time has come for us to put
every ounce of our strength to assure
it's complete victory. The people at
home have a solemn responsibility for
their share in the final result.
Whatever the result of the peace
proposals the war department must
proceed at full speed with men and
supplies and the people must support
the army until the men are back with
the fruits of victory safe and assured.
If every American could have seen
our men in khaki as they stormed the
German trenches, assailed with
|shrapnel, high explosives and machine
guns, he would be eager to subscribe
his all to the Liberty Loan.
"The American army has shown 1t
is is irresistible and it's spirit is un-
conquerable," Secretary Baker said,
after mentioning several battles he
witnessed.
"The American soldier has won his
way in Europe and has helped to ce-
ment for all time the good will and
good feeling which unites our coun-
tries.
"The Allied armies are now In the
full tide of victorious advance, Amer
lean divisions are fighting with the
British, with the French and in their
own sectors, and everywhere the
enemy is in retreat and disorder"
Secretary Baker could not sufti-
ciently praise the spirit of the Ameri-
can army in France. 1t was smiling
army, he said, that now made France
literally brown with khaki. In the
trenches, wherever he went, he found
the troops smiling and doing their
work with enthusiasm.

ALL STATE CROPS
POOR THIS YEAR

E. T. Marchetti, field agent of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Spokane. makes the follow
ing comments on the general crops
of the state in his last report:
Corn: The season has been one
of the most favorable for corn pro-
duction in the history of the state,
especially in the Yakima valley,
where the bulk of the commercial
IrC:n IS produced. Practically tho ell.
tire crop is sufficiently matured to
escape frost damage.
Spring Wheat: Hot weather in
the early growing season ard ack Of
sufficient rainfall caused premature
and light filling Of heads on short
straw. This damage was unusually
severe in the Big Bend counties; and
even in the heavied soil of Palouse,
Walla Walla and adjacent 'ount;es
the yields produced were materially
below pre-har1est estimates. The
average yield for the state is the
lowest since records became avail
able and probably the lowest ever
produced.
All Wheat: The wheat crop is g.
788,825 bushels less than the un-
usually small crop of last year, in
spite of an acreage increase of 1885,
900 acres. The quality is somewhat
superior to last year in the Palouse
and Walla Walla sections excepting
that smut is more general. In the
Big Bend and adjacent counties the
weights per measured bushel were
under pre-harvest expectations.
Oats: Oats on the LaConner flats,
in Skagit county. yielded consider
ably below average, and in the Pa
louse, Ferry and Stevens counties the
crop is much lighter than the unu-
sually small crop of year ago The
quality generally is below average
Barley: The barley crop, located
principally in Columbia. Garfield,
Walla Walla. Asotin and Whitman
counties, is the smallest in the his
tory Of the state on account Of un-
favorable climatic conditions and
aphides damage. Occasional fields
were abandoned, due to light yields,
and in many sections where a sur
plusage is normally produced barley
has been imported this year for feed.
Owing to hot weather damage. the
weight per measured bushel Is light
er than usual.
Potatoes: The potato crop is under
normal on account of drought which
prevented proper filling of hills. The
stand of the large irrigated crop in
the Yakima valley is thinner than
usual and blight has caused addi-
tional injury.
General: The near failure of oats,
barley and grain hay has caused a
shortage of livestock feed, and the
lack of rainfall in September causing
a failure of pasture even in the Sound
dairy sections, has increased the Sc
riousness of the feed situation. The
stand of sugar beets is comparatively
thinner than a year ago. Fall seed
ing has been considerably delayed
