his wife's folks. Here he became
worse and came to Willmar where he

owing to heart failure, and he passed
away very suddenly.
The funeral occurs Thursday. Serv-
ices will be held at the v. E. Lawson
residence at 512 Second Street East
at one O'Clock, and at the Lebanon
Lutheran church at New London at
three o'clock. Nearly all the members
of the large Knock family are ex-
pected here from different points.
Rev. Gustaf Knock, of Lincoln, Nebr.
brother Of the deceased, arrived Tues
day and has arranged for the funeral
with the local pastors of the Willmar
District. Among the pastors who will
be here are Rev: Arthur Knock of
Forest Lake, another brother; Rev. o.
w. Olson of Sioux City and Rev. Oscar
Sandahl of Center City.

Iowa, Jan. 20, 1884. He was ordained
five years ago. His bereaved wife

THE CROP OUTLOOK

With the announcement by the De-
nartment OF Agriculture Of the crop
value for 1917 in the United States.
amounting 10 twentr-onc billions OF
dollars, there is said to be an under
current of pessimism going about
among farmers and producers. who
fear an .oyerproduction and waste OF
energy. and that the propaganda for
greater production is somewhat over
worked. IN 4 bulletin just issued ny
Commissioner OF Agriculture James II.
Stewart. the answer to the posSim-
iStic spirit is found. Commissioner
Stewart calls attention to the great
decrease in production in England and
France, which has 10 be supplied b.
the United States, and which will neg
cssarilv have to be supplied for several
wears 10 come, until those countries
regain their normal peace strength.
In the event the war should end quick
l.. before another crop Is haTFeSIed'
there is not likely to be any appreci-
able lrsscninc of the demand for the
American product.
Referring to the December es'i'
mates on the wheat plant, they show
:: very small increased plant. with the
o,I;,iop n, this time about ~ per
