CORN CROP BREAKS RECORD
Acreage Devoted to Grain in United
States In 1917 Largest Ever
Known, Says Uneie Sam.

The corn crop Of 1917 Is notable as
occupying the largest acreage and pro-
ducing the largest total crop Of record,
says Uncle SANS bureau Of crop esti-
mates. The total IL estimated to be
8, 191, 0S3, 900 bushels. The yield per
acre, however, was not exceptional,
owing to an unfavoranle season char
acterized by late spring, q cold sum-
mer, which wns also too dry over
much Of the corn belt, and early and
severely damaging freezes, the season
being thus shortened at both ends.
Thus the bountiful crop contains much
corn that did not fully mature, prob
ably In excess Of 20 per cent, although
most Of this had reached the dough
state, making It useful for alos and
early feeding.
The potato crop. estimated at 49,

WAR AFFECTS CHEESE TRADE
Monthly Imports Of United States
From Europe Drop From $4,000
to "a Low as 80 Pounds.

The war has revolutionized the
country's foreign trade in cheese. &C
cording to Uncle Sans bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. During
the fiscal year 1914. the last year be-
fore the war, the United States bought
63.S0O,0O0 pounds Of cheese from Eu-
rope-2G, 100000 pounds from Italy,
22,5O0,000 pounds from Switzerland,
100000 pounds from France, $780,
600 pounds from Holland, and smaller
amounts from other countries. The
average monthly imports from Europe
were about 100000 pounds. In Au-
gust of 1917 exactly 30 pounds Of
European cheese was imported. 1t
came from Italy. In September only
1,222 pounds came from Europe.
While Europe Is wisely retaining
this most valuable food for her own
pressing needs, Argentina has turned
to cheese-making on large scale and
is now placing important quantities in
the United States. In August, 1917,
she delivered 44S.OO0 pounds in this
country and in September 279,5OO
pounds. These figures do not approach
the imports from Europe before the
war. but they are interesting in view
Of the fact that during the entire year
1916 not single pound Of cheese came
from Argentina.
More cheese is being exported than
imported. In September, 1917, 2,O00,-
600 pounds was sold abroad and was
distributed to more than fifty cOun-
tries. England took the bulk Of 1t.
loo, 900 pounds, Cuba 100000 pounds.
and Mexico $1,000 pounds.

SEEKCAROMITESUp
Uncle Sans Biologists Predict
Increased Output.
United States Now Producing Badly
Needed Mineral Which Formerly
Was Secured Abroad.

The Importance of chromite- as q
war supply in the manufacture Of ar
NOR plate, armor-piercing projectiles,
stelllte for high-speed tools, and auto
mobile and other special steels can
scarcely be overestimated, according
to experts of Uncle Sans geological
| survey.
The chief sources Of supply for the
United States during the past few
years have been Rhodesia, New Gale
donia, Turkey and Greece.
The greatly increased trade, espe-
cially In steel, and the consequently
larger demand for chromite, have slim
ulated the search for II in the United
States, as shown by the phenomenal
increase in production. the amount
sold in 1915 being only R55 tons, as
against more than 900 tons in the
following year. ~
In Maryland and Wyoming there has
been only a small production, but N
the Pacific coast states, especially CAL
fornia, the advance in the output has
been remarkable. In Oregon the pro-
duction was more than $4,000 tons; In
California II was nearly 1900.
It is evident, the surveys experts
state, that for some time to come Cal
ifornia will furnish the chief domestic
supply. With lively demand and
good prices bodies Of ore farther from
the lines of transportation will be
worked. The production from some
deposits in 1917 is expected to far ex-
coed that of last year.
Prospecting for chromite may dis
close other supplies. It is believed by
experts Of the survey, and the most
profitable deposits will be those in
areas Of serpentine that are adjacent
to cheap rail and water transportation
or connected with 1t by good roads.
Cheap concentration may In places I'm

With the known supplies Of chromite
and others whose discovery within

to believe that the domestic output Of
chromite could be so increased as to

It is particularly undesirable in these trou- blous times when the spirit of cooperation should prevail throughout all the lines of activty-when, insofar as possible, there should be such pooling of interests all will work toward the definite pur- pose of maintaining community and national stabil- ity.
 However the United States is in great war tutions and to make the world safe place in which live and do business. In carrying out that war men have been put in charge to make for success. In this work they have laid down certain rules for the government of business. THOSE RULES the country and the community demand that they be obeycd. They must be obeyed to tine very letter and he who does not obey them is not meeting the highest demands of patriotism and citizenship. This is no time for anarchy This is not time when any person be a law unto himself. The present Is those who refuse to comply with the laws and regulations of the land Those who take the law into their hands must be suppressed.
 And the hands of those who enforce the law must be upheld. Otherwise there cannot be that unity of purpose and that cooperation that is necessary. The man who defes the rules laid down, matter whether for proiteerng purposes for the direct aid of the enemy, is violating the righteous demands of the hour. Patriotism commands that people stand together shoulder to shoulder in these times for the suppression of lawlessness and good citizens will do so.

About the Delegate.

Delegate Charles A. Sulzer arrived in Juneau some days ago and will probably start his campaign for reelection soon.
 During his campaign he will give every one an opportunity how he has discharged his duties while at the National Capital, and every one should make it a point to go and hear him when he talks.
 There is a strong feeling in this section of Alaska in favor of Mir Sulzer for reelection he has with out doubt given his best efforts to the people of the Territory No communication addressed to him was ever too insignificant to receive his individual atten- tion, and for the first time since Alaska has had a Delegate Congress have the people really felt that he was their representative working for their in terests.
 The sentiment here is strongly in favor of having Delegate who is in harmony with the Administration and one who is we'll thought of by the people who have a voice in the lawmaking at Washington should represent Alaska at Washington, he rep resents no one but Wickersham. He has poli- tics but Wickershamism He has every ticket from Reformed Democrat to Bull Mooser, and this year he says he is Republican. Just how he can Lear any weight get beneficial legislation for Alaska is puzzle, for he surely not command the respect of the lawmakers by his artfu dodger tactics.
