BIG CROP WORTH
$10,700,00O,0OO
Estimate Of Department of Agri-
culture for 1917.
STATE OF ILLINOIS IN LEAD
Farm Value of Nations Production
Two and One-Half Times That Of
1909-crops Include Cereals, Po-
tatoes, Hay and Cotton Lint.

Thirteen principal farm crops in this
country in 1917 had value ut the
farm of $10,7OO,000,O00, according to
estimates of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, or nearly two and
one-half times the value for the census
year 1909. This amount Is about four
fifths of the value of all crops. These
crops include seven cereals, flaxseed,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, tame hay, to-
bacco, and cotton lint. Three states
stand out far in the lead in their share
Of this great and unprecedented total,
Illinois is in the front with value of
100000 for these crops, Iowa is
next with $712,000,0O0, and Texas is
third with $647,O00,00O.
The position of Texas is determined
by the cotton crop, which was much
damaged by drought; in 1916 and In
the average of the preceding five years
Texas led all the states in the total
value Of these crops, and this with
out including cottOnseed in the value
of the cotton crop. The states that
follow In order after Texas in 1917 are
Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Georgia, and
Minnesota, with values ranging from
$47000O,000 to S41SO0O,OO0.
Great Achievement.
/, These figures represent a great
achievement by the nations agricul-
tural forces, and the workers well de-
serve to be cited for commendation.
But 1t is not the time to rest on these
gains. 1t is time to plan for greater
efforts this year, as Secretary Houston
recently pointed out.
In comparing the geographic divi-
sions of the country with one another
for 1917, the great predominnnce OF
the North Central states is/conspicu-
Gus, and their production is mostly hui
man food and animal food. The l.
chief crops produced in these states,
for cotton does not appear, had value
that Is nearly One-half. or over 4S per
cent, of the value of the IL crops for
the whole country. or this division,
the section west Of the Mississippi
river produced the greater value, or
over 81 per cent. of the nations total,
while the eastern section produced u
per cent,
Production In South.
The entire South produced nearly
threc-cighths Of the total value of the
nations Ii crops, or 36h per cent,
and this fraction was divided among
the three sections so tat the South
Atlantic states produced IA per cent,
the South Central section cas-. Of the

HANDY GATE FOR STOCK FARM
Convenient Passageway Provided
Where There Is Much Travel Be-
tween Lots or Pens.

Here is a gate that will not let the
stock out even II 1t Is forgotten and
left unfastened. In fact, 1t cannot be
latched, ut least 1t need not be, as
stock cannot pass through 1t. 1t Is
gate for people only and not for live
stock, as the wisest gate opener"

Baby chick hatchers are looking for

Get Rid Of Rats and Mice.

{ In the United States rats and mice
destroy each year In homes, factories,
stores and warehouses, In cars and on
ships, crops, poultry, and other prop
erty valued at more than $500, 0OO. 900
an amount equivalent to the gross
earnings Of an army Of 100000 men.
Grain, eaten and wasted by rats and
mice on many farms would pay all Of
the farmers taxes.
States, communities and individuals
can help eliminate rats and mice:
BY requiring that all new buildings.
wharycs, and other structures be rat
proof; that existing buildings Of rat
proof construction be further protect
cd by having basement windows and
drains covered with screens, gratings,
etc.; and thnt existing buildings that
are not rat-proof be made so by re-
modelling.
BY constructing sewers and drains
so that they will not provide entrance
and retreat for rats.
BY insisting on greater cleanliness
about markets. stores. and generally
throughout cities, villages, and the
country districts.
BY threshing and marketing grain
early so that stacks viii not furnish
harboring places and food for rats.
BY removing piles Of straw, trash,
and lumber which harbor rats in fields
and vacant lots.
BY protecting the hawks, owls and
other natural enemies Of rats which
are not SO destructive to poultry as
rats themselves.
by keeping well-trained dogs on
farms and about city warehouses.
BY keeping provisions which rats
and mice will attack In rat-proof and
mouse-proof containers.
BY destroying rats and mice sys-
temntically by poisoning, trapping and
by organized systematic hunts. =

PROTECT FOOD BILLIONS;
DESTROY RATS AND MICE

We have billions of bushels
of food worth billions of dollars.
Let's protect these billions. We
need all of them. Let's not al
low rats and mice to take their
toll of millions this year-$20O,-
100000 Is their annual bill of de-
structiOn. Trapping, poisoning,
and rat-proofing buildings will
help reduce this enormous food
loss. Organized rat hunts by
communities are effective. In
one Ohio town a few years ago
each Of two organized teams
killed more than 5000 rats, and
O dinner for all the hunters WIGS
the penalty for the losing side.
Boards of trade, civic societies,
and citizens associations in
towns, and farmers and women's
clubs in rural communities
should find this matter worthy of
their efforts. Farmers Bulletin
800 tells how individuals and
communities can fight rats and
mice. Write to the United States
department of agriculture for It.

Handy Farm Gate.

among the stock cannot get through
it. An extra panel Of fence is neces-
sary for it. The small gate is hinged.
1t is handy gate to have where there
must be good deal of passing back
and forth through lots or pens, or
where children are likely to leave the
gate unfastened in passing. 1t is al
ways open to people and always shut
to stock.

MAKE SUCCESS WITH LAMBS
Animals Must Be Of Good Form, Uni
form In Size and Rightly Bred
for Making Profit.

To feed well with profit, lambs must
be Of good form. uniform size, rightly
bred, not too fat when bought, worked
onto full feed very gradually and
clipped and sold at just the right time.
Each of these things requires little
expert knowledge and this can only be
gained by experience or very close OBJ
servation.

SEPARATE HOUSE FOR GEESE
Farmer Should Be Careful to See That
Floor 10 Dry and WeII-Bedded
With Straw.

Be sure that the shed for the geese
(which should be separate from the
poultry house, duck house and turkey
shed) has dry, well-bedded floor, for
geese will not do well unless they have
a dry resting place.
