greatly impaired their efforts But when
| the figures were available for COMPARE
son with other harvests which told the
! total of the harvests of 1917 also set forth
the needs of ourselves and our allies it
became apparent that our food supply in
1917 was sadly below requirements.
One of the ablest authorities on food
production, Richard II. Edmcnds of Balti-
more, after a careful study of the semi
official figures, stated that, although it
was true that in 1917 our farmers har-
vested about 1000 600 bushels more or
grain and foodstuffs than they did in the
previous year, nevertheless in the year
1916 our harvest was nearly 1,400, 100000
bushels less than that of the year 1915.
In fact, the yield of 1917 was about $780,
600 bushels less than the average yield
in the past five years. This falling off is
also true of meat products, especially
sheep and beef.
The administration at Washington, in
private, confirmed the view taken by
Mr. Edmonds, but it was not deemed ex-
pedent to make public acknowledgment
that there was disappointment in the
amount and in some instances the quail
ty, especially of corn, of our food prod
ucts. Nevertheless, the record made last
year has stimulated the department of
agriculture SO that it is now making APP
peals to farmers throughout the United
States to redouble their efforts, greatly
to increase their acreage, in fact, to
pay good heed to the need of plow-
ing, planting, cutivatng and harvest
ing.
The administration Knows that the
farmers do face conditions quite as Sc
rious as those which are occasioned by
the fuel situation In the first place. la
Dor is very scarce, fertilizing material
is expensive, agricultural implements are
also expensive and the very high wages
which are paid to men in munition fac
tories and other industries engaged in
producing commodities for war purposes
are tempting men away from the farms.
The food situation, therefore, is very
serious especially as it is evident that
during this year and the year 1919, should
the war be prolonged, the allies win be
compelled to rely more than they have
in the past upon the United States for
food supplies

DECATUR

Decatur, February 25.-(Special.)--A
number of drug stores, news stands
and other places of business in Decatur
and Albany were wide open yesterday
"A deputy sheriff visited these places of
business and took down names. which
were reported to the sheriffs office. Up
to this time no arrests have been made.
Whether or not warrants will be sworn
out or the matter taken to the grand
jury Is not known at this time.
The Pastors union of Decatur and
Albany reserrected the old state blue"
laws few weeks ago and have made a
number of attempts to have these laws
enforced One of the political parsons
went so far a few Sundays ago as to
play detective himself and watched
some fruit stands and then swore out
warrants against the proprietors.
With the masses of the people of those
two cities the old blue" laws are not
popular. While the people here do not
believe in the open violation of the Sun
day laws they do not believe that the lid
should be placed on so tight that a per-
son cannot get glass of soda water or
chew of tobacco on Sunday.
B. l.. Malone is building large two
story brick business block on Second
avenue. Albany. 1t is understood that
the storerooms are already rented.
