Thirteen principal farm crops in

estimates of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, or nearly

fifths of the value of all crops. These
crops include seven cereals, flaxseet,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, tame hay,

of this great and unprecedented total.
Illinois Is in the front with a value Of
$775,000,000 for these crops, Iowa is
next with $712, ,000,06O, and Texas is
third with $647, 100000.
The position e lexas is determined
by the cotton crop. which was much
damaged by drought; in 1915 and in
the average IF the preceding five
years Texas led Gil the States IN the

ciated with the German military pro-
gram passes off the scene. For some
time Won Hindenburg has evidently not
been as much Of q factor as in the
carly part Of the war. Won Ludendorff
has been accredited with the main di-
rection Of the campaign, with Macken-
sen as virtually second in command.
That Won Hindenburg has been in ill
health is to be credited, though pos
sibly his physical affection has been
merely a camouflage as replacement.
His passing would make virtually no
difference in the German program.
though he was undoubtedly one Of the
greatest military leaders Germany ever
produced. His character was precisely
suited to the methods by which the
German army alone can hope to win
Indifferent to losses,
resourceful. Whether Won Ludendorff
possesses these qualities in the same
measure. the standard has been fixed
and Germany's military course will un-
doubtedly continue.
