How American farmers respond
ed to he food needs of the United
States and the countries with which
il was associated in the war is
described in detail in the annual
report of the secretary of agricul-
ture. David F. Houston, made pub
lie today.
For wheat and other leading GER
calls and for potatoes, tobacco and
cotton, farmers in 1918 planted
2s9, OO0, 900 acres, an increase over
the preceding record year of s.
600 1000. 1t is especially note
worthy, the secretary points out,
that, while the acreage planted in
wheat in 1917 was slightly less
than that for the record year of
1915, it exceeded the ~five-year av-
erage, 1910-1914, by 1000 900;
that the acreage planted in 1918
exceeded the previous record by
$500, 900; and that the indications
are that the acreage planted dur
ing the current fall season will
considerably exceed that of any
preceding fall planting.
Notwithstanding adverse climat-
ic conditions in 1917, especially
for wheat, and in 1918, especially
for corn, the secretary reports that
only 1915 has exceeded either 1917
or 1918 in the aggregate yield of
wheat and other leading cereals.
"The estimated total for 1917"
he explains, was 5,796,0 900 900
bushels. But the conclusion would
be unwarranted that the available
supplies for human food or the ag-
gregate nutritive value will be less
in 1918 than in 1917. Fortunate
ly, the wheat production for the
current year, 91S,92O,OOO bushels,
is greatly in excess of that for each
of the exceeding two years, $780,
$4,000 in 1917, and 636,318,0O0
in 1916, and is mex to the record
wheat crop of the nation. The

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
With a story of brilliant achieve
ments of the American navy in
the war, Secretary Daniels cou-
ples. in his annual report mad
public today, an urgent recon-
mendation for continued naval ex-
pansion to meet the demands OF
peace for national and information
al work on the sea.
Through nearly all of 144 print
ed pages the secretary tells in Drlef
phrases of the navy's part in the
a of the doing of the seemingly
impossible through team work. He
speaks of the mighty accomplish
ment of transporting 2,0O0,0OO
men to France without the loss of
an east-bound troop ship through
enemy action, and he devotes a
graphic chapter to the marine brig
ade which, as all the wrold knows.
blocked the last Prusian advance
on Paris and started the German
retreat that ended with the war.
This reference to the future con-
cludes the report:
1.-The day is not far distant when
the world will witness an end of
competitive building between Ia
tions of mighty weapons of war.
In the peace treaty there will un-
doubtedly be incorporated Presi-
dent Wilson's proposal for a re-
duction of armament to the low
est point consistent with domestic
safety
"Navies will still be needed as
an international police force to
compel compliance with the decree
of an International tribunal which
will be set up to decide differences
between nations. Naval vessels
will have large peace tasks of SUI

700, 900, 900, the annual average in
the five-year period 1910 to 1914.
This greatly increased financial
showing, the secretary explains,
does not mean that the nation is
better off to that extent, or that
its real wealth has advanced in that
proportion. Considering merely
the domestic relations, the true
state is indicated rather in terms
of real commodities. The increas-
ed values, however, do reveal that
monetary returns to the farmers
have increased proportionately
with those of other groups of pro-
ducers in the nation and that their
purchasing power has kept pace in
the rising scale Of prices.

tary reports, according to unrevis-

CRADLE SONGS ARE ANCIENT
Words Often Seem Meaningless jun
BILE; Melody Always Within Com
pass Of Home Voices.

Almost all popular cradle songs are
very old, some OF them so old that,
were they not familiar, they might be
considered the veriest curiOsitfes Of
literature. Through all the changes
Of language they have held their own
upon the lips and In the hearts Of the
people. From mouth to mouth they
have come down through the years
with an irresistible swing Of rhythm
and patter and Jingle of words till
they seem to have been rather nat
ural growth than human invention.
In all the melodies, observes wri-
ter, there is q certain likeness OF
rhythm with a national, might say, a
temperamental difference of movement
and meter from. the slow assured
major of the Germans to the wild plain
tive minor Of the Scotch, characterized
by the short accented notes or the
weirdness Of the Hungarian with its
sudden changes.
That these old songs should have
embodied and retained the character
lstics Of the people among whom they
originated gives them an Importance
which their crude words and the ele-
mentary character of their melodies
scarcely seem to warrant The words
often seem mere meaningless jun
bic, the melody Is always within the
easy compass Of home voices. No
doubt both express, in some supernally
wise way, the one unalterable senti-
ment of maternal love.

Hay Loader Ia

kinds, and inclines for handling hay
from the large one-ton push rakes.
The push rake and stacker make an
admirable combination, since nearly
all of the work of getting the hay from
the field to the stack is done by horse
power. The push rake takes the hay
from the windrow or bunch to the
stack, where it is dropped on the
stacker and elevated onto the stack
by horses.
These implements can be used with
small crews, consisting Of two men, up
to crews Of twelve or more men.
6alino Hay In the Field.
In system four the hay is baled in
the field and push rakes and power
press are used.
The practice Of baling in the field
from the windrow began in the semi
arid middle West, where there is but
little danger of rain interfering. It
has long been believed that hay is not
in condition to be baled until it has
gone through the Sweat in the barn
or stack. This process. is usually fin.
,ished from three>to six weeks from the
time the hay is made.
In the West, growers of prairie and
alfalfa hay for the market realized
that If it were possible to bale hay
from the windrow considerable saw
ing Of time and labor could be made.
This saving would consist of large
part Of the cost Of putting the hay
into the stack. They also began to
doubt the necessity Of allowing the
hay to go through the Sweat before
it could be safely baled. Repeated tri-
ais and careful study have shown that
a good quality Of hay can be made
when baled from the windrow under
certain conditions. At the present
time hay is being baled from the cock
in parts Of the South.
Conditions Should Be Right.
Hay baled from the windrow often
spoils so badly that it becomes unfit
for feeding. This trouble is some
times experienced by beginners and
more especially when alfalfa or other
legume hay is baled. There are three
causes for this. First, the hay will
not keep unless 1t is well cured in the
field, It being necessary to cure 1t out
more thoroughly than when it is to be
put into the stack. Second, hay that
is baled when partly wet with dew or
rain is very liable to spoil. Third, hay
is liable to spoil when the bales are
improperly stored by being packed
away close together. In many cases II
the bales are placed on edge with an
air space of an inch or two between,
and the next layer placed crosswise
with spaces there will be much less
danger Of heating and spelling.
