SECRETARY OF AGRICULTUR is

PLANS TO INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY

tatoes. The total production of these
products and of spring wheat and
rice was 5,771, $4,000 bushels, or
1904, $50, 900 bushels (twenty-six per
cent? more than in 1916, and 1907
442, 900 (twenty-one percent) more
than the average for the five year
period (1910-1914). Winter wheat and
rye are omitted from this comparison
because the 1917 harvests of these
crops were from sowings made in the
fall of 1916, before the United States
entered the war. 1t should be borne
in mind in this connection that the
percentage of soft corn this year was
very much higher than usual and
also that the aggregate crop of spring
and winter wheat harvested in 1917
was short.
Live Stock on Farms and Ranges
During the first half of 1917, there
was particular apprehension lest the
number of live stock be decreased. AS
a matter of fact, owing to the greater
abundance of feedstuffs that the large
crops of the year made available and
the prevailing prices, there was re-
NCdlOu d 1llOSl 81 ally ing 1UCISdSS
the principal classes of live stock-an
| increase in the number of horses dur
ing the year of $4,000 or IT per cent
of mules, 101 900, or FL per cent; of
4 of mich cows, 100000, or IT per
cent;of other cattle, 1,S57,000 or AS
per cent; of sheep, 1924, 900, or 2.7
per cent. and of swine, 1871, 900, or
81 per cent. The increase of As per
cent in the number of "other cattle'
is due to the increase of IA per cent
in calves; 22.7 per cent in heifers for
milk; 8.5 per cent in other heifers;
a decrease of 80 per cent in steers,
and an increase of 10 per cent in
"other cattle" (milch cows not in
cluded). Swine over six months old
increased As per sent; those under
six months 7.S per cent. Sheep over
six months increased 3 of one per
cent; under six months, Ill per cent.
1t will be of interest to note that
the number of live stock estimated on
| January 1, 1918, shows the following
increases over January 1, 1914, the
year before the beginning of the Eu-
ropean war: Horses, COL, 900, or 20
per cent; mules. $4,000, or s. of one
per cent; mich COWS, 2,547,-
900, or 1928 per cent; other cattle.
1851 900, or 21.5 per cent; swine
12,441, 900 or 21.1 per cent. 1t is
especially noteworthy that within the
last year, for the first time in many
years. the number of sheep has shown
a tendency to increase.
Value of Farm Products
The total estimated value of al
farm products, including animals and
animal products, for 1917 is given
as $19,443 ,S49,3S1, as against $13,-
406, 1884, OIL for 1916, and $685.
| 765,779 for the f1ve-year average
(1910-1914). These valuations are
based upon prices received by produc'
ers, which are applied to the tota
output regardless of whether the pro
ducts are consumed on the farms OF
sold.

NIGHTS FREEZING
CHECKS RISE OF
The HOUSATONIC

Derby, Feb. M.-CoId weather last
night checked the rise of water in the
Housatonic river here, and the volume
at the dam was four feet less than
yesterday. At Zoar Bridge, six miles
north, however, the cold wave did not
take hold so quickly and this morning
ice damned at the dam under con-
struction by Blakeslee & Co, and 1t
was necessary to use dynamite to re-
lieve the pressure. Water that had
flowed around the steam shoYels, der
ricks and other equipment had frozen,
stopping work. A small temporary
bridge was carried away.
A small bridge at Eight Mile brook
was carried away yesterday. Three
miles north of the head of Lake Hou-
satonic there is a huge ice jam.
The Naugatuck river ice went out
yesterday afternoon at this point, but
much of it is piled up against the
Naugatuck-Berkshire division railroad
trestle. AS the water dropped six
feet, the safety of the bridge is not
vet threatened.

COLD WEATHER
STEMS MOHAWK
RIVERS RISING

Schenectady, N. Y, Feb. 2l-The
sudden drop to below zero in the
early morning stemmed, at least, tenn
porarily, what for time promised to
be the worst food in the history of
this city, due to the overlooking of the
Mohawk river Shortly after mid
night the river was % feet above
normal. Scores of houses along the
downtown river front were flooded
and hundreds of persons were driven
from their homes.
Boston, Feb. 21-The minimum
temperature in Boston at o'clock
this morning was four degrees above
zero, compared with 81 at 10 a. m.
yesterday. The mercury went up to
seven degrees at 9 o'clock. 1t was
the same throughout New England,
although at many points below zero
temperatures prevailed.
A cold northwest wind added to the
general discomfort, and the weather
bureau gave no indication of imme-
date relief.

SHIPBUIL TO
Be DEVELOPED IN
SOUTH IRELAND

Dublin, Feb. 20-The DEVELOPMENT
of aircraft factories and shipyards in
Ireland this spring is expected to
open up a new industrial era in many
sections of the country. Lack of ia
cilities for technical training in the
south of Ireland has been a long
standing problem which the new
yards and factories will help to solve.
For the present, the business of
airplane manufacture will be carried
on in existing buildings that are being
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment, but as rapidly as possible new
factories of the most up-to-date type
will be erected. The development is
not intended to be merely of temper
airy character.
Flight stations and training depots
which are being erected in various
parts of the island are permanent
structures, as it is believed that Ire
land from its geographical position,
will have an important share in the
postwar commercial development OF
aviation. It will be the gateway for
every attempt at transatlantic fight,
attempts which are expected to be
fostered and encouraged by the gov
ernments of both the United States
and Great Britain.
ShipbuiIding will center in Dublin
and Cork. Efforts are being made to
secure a national shipyard for Dub
lin, which will also be the site of the
largest of the aircraft factories, en-
ploying 1000 skilled men and 1900
girls. The minimum wage paid to
women workers in the aircraft fac
tories. it is announced will be $3.50
a week, which is about three times
the average wage paid to women at
present, except in munition works.

NEW ENGLAND PAYS
MOST FOR POTATOES

Boston, Feb. 20-New England cities
are paying from one-quarter to one
half cent a pound more for potatoes
than other large cities east of Chi
cago, reports of the United States bu-
reau of markets here showed today.
Grocers and provision dealers were
selling potatoes on a small margin at
8 1-2 cents a pound, the bureau re-
ported, but small supplies coming into
the local market prevented any redIrc-
ton in price.
