FINE CROP PROSPECTS
That 1s1 is to be a good crop year in

That 1918 Is to be a good crop year in the United
States is indicated by the government crop report 1ust is.
sued. In most cases the indicated production is greater
than that Of 1917. and in nearly all it exceeds the average
Of the eight years ending with 1917. The corn crop show,
a slight falling off from the remarkable yield Of last wear
the estimate being 1889 millions for 1918 as against s.15s
millions for 1917. The eight-year average. however, is
eclipsed, as the average for that period was 2,7e1 million
bushels.
Spring wheat shows an increase from 22 million
to s22 million, and winter wheat from 41s to 55e mil
lion. The eightyear average was $50 and 25s million for
winter and spring wheat respectively. According to the
present prospects, therefore. the total wheat yield Of this
year will be s7s million as against $50 million for 1917
and sos for the eight-year period. The excess Of more
than zoo million will be particularly acceptable at this
time. as it will make possible larger shipments to our
European Allies, who are in urgent need OF this food
and will cause the distribution Of approximately s5ool.-
100000 more money among the wheat growers Of the
country.
Rye, barley and oats show increases over the EIGHT.
year average. and in all but oats the yield OF Lac. year q
exceeded. The oats estimate Is Identical with the record.

nearly double the yields Of last year, and slightly lower
than the general average. These proportions corresnonn
closely with those in North Dakota, which continues ia
produce about half the flax raised in the United States
The state figure for this year is 1922 million against
IS,7e4 million last year.

A HABIT WORTH MONEY

Il War stamps are not exclusively for children. The
duty Of buying them is in proportion to ability to buy
subject to the limitation Of a thousand dollars worth
each-is as much the duty Of every grown-up as Of any
=
But the buying Of Thrift Stamps and War Stamps
involves a cultivation Of the habit Of thrift and saving
that will mean something all through life: and as habits
are just forming In the children, this means even more
to them than it does to their elders; and heaven knows
these are habits most Of us need to have taught us.
The boy or girl who gets in the habit of making a
little money or saving a little money and putting it into
War Stamps is laying the firm foundation Of future sue
cess. He is not only developing practical patriotism by
a tidy little nest-egg that will come in handy in the lu-
ture. but he is building habits Of thrift, saving and sound
investment that will return incalculable dividends all
through life.
all encourage and help the children to do it, because it
develops practical patriotism in them, because it provides
savings for the future, and because 1t gives them priceless
habits Of economy and investment-Duluth Herald.

AN AMENDE HONORABLE

A month ago publicity was given in many papers tt
a statement sent out from the headquarters Of the Mode
License League to the effect that Hon. William Jenninsl
Bryan had agreed in the past to make speeches for the
Alliance. In a letter Just received, r
M. Gilmore says: =
For the first time within its history ofrover ten
years. this league feels called upon to retract a
statement. In our letter to you Of July 10th we said
that Mr.. William Jennings Bryan had agreed in the
past to make speeches for the erman-Arner1can
Alliance. A member Of congress is authority for this
statement and it is in writing. This TO- show that we
are net~careless in our methods. Mr.. Bryan wires us
that the statement is absolutely false and we accept
his disclaimer without question and retract tho state,
ment with full apologies.
This ought to be satisfactory SO far as Mr.. Gilmore
is. concerned. But how about the congressman who made
SUCH a statement in writing? It seems that explanations
from him are in order. T.. 4

pending collapse of Bulgaria. General
March said today, is a direct result
OF the concentration Of the Ameri-
can forces on the western front.
Hitherto, General March explained
whenever a section of the Central
Empires was menaced Germany was
able to withdraw divisions from the
west front to bolster up the threaten
ed point.
"That day is now past" he added,
"as a result of the concentration OF
the entire American army on the
western front This has forced the
German general staff to keep intact
their whole strength in France"
The elimination of Bulgaria, the
chief of staff pointed out, should q
separate peace be granted, would
foreshadow the isolation Of Turkey
and the possible re-entry Of Rumania
into the war.
The effect Of these events on the
grand strategy Of the war was
obvious he said.
In the new Franco American drive
the American forces west Of Verdun
have passed beyond the Hindenburg
line and are facing the new Krien-
hid line. General March was unable
to identify positively American units
which participated in this action. He
