| strongly the urgent necessity of do
ing everything possible to bring
about still further increase in the
production of all essential commodi-
ties, particularly of the staple crops
and live stock.
The yields in 1917 of the major
food crops are as follows, the secre-
tary reports, according to unrevised
estimates: 3,191, 100000 bushels of
corn, 650,797,000 Of wheat, $780,

WHEAT AND RYE OUTLOOK FOR
1913
"The actual increase in the acre
age of crops sown this fall can not be
accurately determined at this time,"
the secretary says. There is every
indication, however, that the farm
ers in the sections where fall grains
can be profitably raised have patri-
otica1ly responded to the Nations call
for more breadstuffs. Reports made
to the Bureau of Crop Estimates in
August, before the campaign for in
creased acreages was we'll under way,
indicated an intention on the part OF
farmers to increase their sowing of
winter wheat by about 10 per cent,
and of rye by about 3 per cent. II
these Intentions are realized. 1t will
result in the planting Of 44,1O0.000
acres, Of rye. Reports received since
August are to the effect that the fall
sown acreage of these two crops has
been increased in nearly every state,
altho the drought in the southwest
ern states and in portions Of Wash
ington has made 1t impracticable
fully to carry out the planting pro-
gram. The official estimate of the
acreage Of winter wheat and rye will
be issued on December 10 after the
planting Of winter grains is complet-
ed in the South. Similarly, it is too
early to determine the percentage Of
termination of seed actually sown,
and therefore any prophecy at this
time as to the actual harvest Of whit
er wheat to be expected in 1918
would be merely guess.
THE LIVESTOCK SITUATION
The report outlines the efforts Of
the Department Of Agriculture to in

the livestock situation as follows:

other cattle has shown an increase

Club. There were about so members
present. The big event of the meet
ing was the excellent and helpful ad-
dress given by Mr.. Adams, president
of the Norris Commercial Club and
county representative of the u. S.
Food Administration. He especially
dwelt on the patriotic and CONNER
cial aspect of the work that Ameri-
can boys and girls are expected to
do. One of the strong thoughts
brought out in his address was that
this war was the inevitable result of
conditions that the world was too
small for two radically opposed ideas

FARMERS OF NATION
RESPONDING TO CALL
Secretary Of Agriculture, Houston,
Reports Large Increases for
1917

Reviewing the progress of the
campaigns for increased production
to meet war demands and conditions.
David F. Houston, secretary of agri-
culture, in his annual report, reports
that the farmers of the Nation, patri-
otically responded to the appeals of
agricultural and other agencies, have
produced more than 51a billion
bushels of cereal food crops-exceed-
ing by 100000 bushels the five
year average for cereals
crops of Irish potatoes and sweet
potatoes, large crops of beans and
sugar beets, and an unusually large
crop of perishables. Authentic fig
ures for meat, poultry, dairy pro-
ducts, and vegetable oils are not
available for 1917, but rough estim-
ates indicate that the quantity for
the year is slightly greater than for
either 1915 or 1915 and exceeds the
five-year average by two or three
billion pounds.
It must be borne in mind, how
ever, the secretary says, that the
1917 cereal crops are 1919 million
bushels below the yield Of 1915; that
the carry-over. of cereals from last
year was much below the normal;
that the percentage of soft corn Of
the 1917 crop-which can not be
used for foods unusually high;
and that, with the destruction OF live
stock in Europe and the great de-
mands from there for meats and
fats, with consequent greatly in
creased exports from the country, the
supply of meats and fats will not be
ADEQUATE to meet the domestic needs
and those of the nations with which
we are cooperating.
"That the farmers of the Nation
have generously responded to the ap-
peals for increased production, and
that much has already been done to
insure a large supply Of foods and
feedstuffs, justifies no let-down in
their activities or in those of all agri-
cultural agencies" the secretary
says.
ION the contrary, even greater
efforts must be put forth in the COM
ing months il we are to meet salts
factorily the domestic demands and
the needs of the nations with which
we are associated in this struggle.
There must be no breakdown on the
