Naval Officers Take Cap tured Alaska Booze to the Value of $7,000
 or $8,000.

About $7,00O or $8,O00," is the value at which Bradley T. Fowlkes, Chief Yeoman, U.SN.R.F., estimate the booze" he is taking out of Juneau. MT. Fowlkes was sent North from Bremerton by Ad- miral R. E. Coontz, commandant of the Thirteenth Naval District, to take over all of the distilled liquor in this Division.
 Today, MT. Fowlkes superintend- ed the packing of the liquor which has been stored in the Brig" at of the raids and confiscations made by the U. s. Marshal J. M. Tanners force.
 It was then taken to the Pacific Steamship Company dock and lock ed up with liquor rounded up by MT. Fowlkes on the s. c. BIO at Ketchikan, Wrangell and Peters burg. All together it formed an imposing collection. All of the liquor is being taken over by the taken to Rremerton, where it will be redistilled and reduced to pure alcohol
 The problem as to what to dc with captured liquor in Alaska was put up to the Attorney-General last winter and the decision was that it could be turned over to the Army and Navy to be reduced to pure al cohol for medicinal purposes. The 1 Army and Navy was very willing to l accept it for that purpose.

FARM PRODUCTION
Estimated Gross Value of Wealth
Produced Oh Farms in 1917 Ex-
ceeds Nineteen Billion Dollars

Following the items of thee ensus of
1910, the United States Department of
Agriculture has estimated the gross
value of the wealth produced on farms
in 1917 to be $19,444, 100000. This is
divided into total Of 1851 ,OOO, 900
for all crops and $5,833, 900 for animal
products and animals sold off farms
and slaughtered on farms. Such to-
tails as these, even though they repre-
sent gross values, would have been
regarded as fabulous before 1916.
The census total Of wealth produc-
tion on farms is $2,50O,0O0, for
1880, $4,700,000,0 for 1899, and $8,-
600,000,000 for 1909 and the estimate
for 1915 is $4,000, 100000. These num-
bers, being dollars and not quantities
Of product, are the resultant Of two
factors, production and price, and

cases the deprivation of cities Of coal
which could not secure wood and has
caused much hardship and suffering.
Cooperative action on the part of
communities and towns during the
past winter has been eminently sue
cessful in many places in the eastern
United States, bringing much wood in
to use and at prices ranging mostly
from SIS to So per cord for stove wood
delivered, thereby eliminating "prof-
iteering" of amounts ranging up to as
high as 50 to $12 per cord.

WOOD FUEL RESERVE
Make Provision for Plentiful Supply
of Firewood for Next Winter

An ample wood fuel reserve for
next winter should be the aim of
every city, town and country resident.
No one knows how much coal there
will be for general use. An abun.
dance of coal seems unlikely. Coal is
particularly needed for war industries,
shipping, and the allies. Communities
can render themselves far less de-
pendent on coal and a7so help in re-
lieving an overburdened transporta-
tion by laying in plentiful supply of
well-seasoned firewood.
Municipal Woodyards Successful
Municiple Woodyards have been
started in many towns and cities and
are working very successfully. North
| Carolina has between 40 and 50 of
them. Such a woodward operated by
the municipal officers or private com
ranies should be in operation all
spring and summer In every tow,
where wood can 70 opra1ned, building

and communities shoaid take steps al

when tl1d next cold weather comes,

that in many localities where wood is
abundantly available, almost at the
very doors of the farmers, coal has

guestmg photographs Of all war ac-
tiylties in this State. 4xmong the spe-
cial subjects included IN the request
are photographs of the activities, of
the Red Cross, and of the Food Ad-
mlnistratlon, scenes showing the ac-
tivlty IN the campaign for the sale of

equipment and methods of manufac-
ture, the drilling home defense organ

The Department is also anxious for
photographs showing the arrest of

graphs depicting the destruction of
property attributable to enemy ac-
tivities.
AS far as practicable all prints
should be not less than four or five
inches, and not larger than eight by
ten inches, and each print should be
accompanied by a brief explanatory
caption.
It is hoped that the photographers,
potn professional and amateur, in all

Anticipates Calendar I'll Years
In the ordinary course of events,
many years must have elapsed before
the products of farms would reach
the stupendous aggregate gross value
of 1917. The average increase per
year from 1899 was $226,00,00O; from
1899 to 1909, 1884, 900; from 1909
to 1915, $370,000,000; and from 1899
to 1915, 16 years, $379, $1,000. At the
average annual rate of increase for
the 16 years, not until 1888 would the
gross value Of 1917 be reached, COM
puted as an increase over 1915. Main
ly due to Increase of price since 1915,
the calendar has been anticipated for
21 years.
In the continuous annual record, ex-
tending back FL years, 1911 is the on
ly year with decline in total gross
value of farm products when COM
pared with the preceding year, and
that year was one with low produc-
tion. A year that hardly exceeded the
preceding one was 1914, when the
price of cotton was demoralized by
the war. BY the end of 1915 the
prices of most farm products were
still nearly on the plane Of 1914, with
crop, production 7 per cent above;
and the total gross value of farm pro-
duction was $10,775,O 100000, a gain
of nearly billion dollars over either
1913 or 1914.
Rapid INCREASE of Farm Prices Past
Two Years
Then followed a rapid ascent of
prices of farm products, and the
weighted index for the prices of prin-
cipal crops in December, 1916, was sc
per cent above 1915, SO that, although
crop production was If per cent less,
ton was $13,406,O 100000, or 25 per
cent above 1915, Itself the topmost
year at that time.
The performance of 1916 in farm
wealth production, unprecedentedly
large though it was, was puny pre-
cursor of 1917. The price index num-
Der of the principal crops Of this year
is 35 per cent above 1916 and III per
cent above 1915, and complicated with
this enormous factor is a crop produc-
tion that is IL per cent above 1916.
Hence it is that the grand aggregate
of 1851 100000 is reached as the
gross value Of the farm crop produc-
ton of 1917, and Of $19,444 900, 900 as
the total of all production.
Caution is given by the Department
of Agriculture against accepting this
total of $19,444 100000 as the amount
OF the farmers cash income, and also
against regarding it as a net income.
There are Implications and triplica-
tions of value and also omitted items,
cost Of production must be considered,
and certainly for 1916 and 1917 a
soaring cost has complicated the prob
lem. 1t is a gross income in vague,
undefinable, intangible sense, which
can not be reduced to a net incomo
nor net wealth production, by any
process.
