BOUNTIFUL CROPS ARE
INDICATED IN FORECAST
Largest Crops of Wheat and Rye Ever
Harvcsted-Other Records
Expected.

Washington, July 14.-Bountiul
the department of agriculture's July
forecasts based on conditions existing
the first of the month. Winter wheat
and rye, now being harvested, showed
the largest production ever attained
Record crops OF sweet potatoes. to-
bacco and rice also were predicted
and the production Of spring wheat,
corn, oats. barley, white potatoes and
hay is expected to be larger than the
average for the five years, 1897.
Value OF the wheat, corn and oats
crops combined amounts to $S,34O,-
622, 900, based on July farm prices.
The value of corn is S4,76S,475,O 900;
wheat, s2,577,42O,OOO. and oats.
S994,727,O0O.
Plants diseases and other condi-
tions, however. made heavy inroads
during June on prospective wheat and
oats production. The forecast shows
a loss of 100000 bushels of wheat
since the June estimate and reduc-
tion of 100000 bushels in the
prospective oats crops. High tempera-
lures caused deterioration in the con-
ditions of winter wheat in some sec
tions while plant disease increased in
central districts. The heat also af-
fected spring wheat in some parts of
the belt where black rust has ap-
peared and somewhat damaged the
crop.
The area planted to corn, white po-
last year. while the acreage of sweet
potatoes and tobacco is larger.
Production forecasts of the coun-
try's principal farm crops, estimated

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
MADE HOME POSSIBLE
Man Whs suddenly Found hInssK
Without Roof Over Head Was Able
to Buy Property.

This true story tells how War Saw.
ings Stamps built q sure protection
around one Washington war worker
and his family.
Early In the war savings campaign
he began a small systematic invest
ment in Thrift Stamps, which ulti-
mately grew until he had an investJ
ment Of 500. He says he acquired
his stamps without depriving him
self or family. The investment "just
grew" out Of incidental savings.
Presently this incidental money
became scarce. The war worker and
his family felt the burden of the war
tine high cost of living, and the anx-
iety and expense Of extraordinary ill
ness Of the two children. Then an
other blow fell. He awoke one MORN
ing to find that he had no place to
live.
His residence had been sold and
he and his family were asked to va
cate. He could find no houses for
rent within his means, and was con-
fronted with the necessity Of leaving
the city or buying a home for his
family. He could not buy without
making a substantial initial pay
mont, and ready funds were seem
insly beyond reach.
Then he thought Of his War Saw
ings Stamps. He remembered they
were redeemable on ten days notice,
with accrued interest. With the pro-
ceeds Of these stamps and such small
sums as he could gather he made
first payment on new home in the
suburbs.
Recently he refused to sell it for
$1,000 more than the purchase price.
This man is a War Savings Stamp
enthusisst-and he is on the straight
road to financial independence.

SUCCESSFUL DOLLARS
ARE THOSE WORKING
Inve ested In War Savings Stamps They
Never Fall to Yield You Hand
some Profit.

1t ia the dollar that goes to work
that is the successful dollar. The
idle dollar is q failure. The success
fui dollar brings back another dollar
with it. 1t makes itself dollar and
onlething-two dollars and some
thing-a whole family of dollars.
But the careless dollar goes of
somewhere and is never seen again.
A Texas man the other day lost a
life times savings-S786. His dol
lars had gone OF in the pockets of
two fake stock promoters. He had
not taught his dollars to keep good
company.
Hundreds Of years ago . man to
whom handful of money had been
trusted buried It all in napkin. He
got no increase-he did not even keep
what he had.
The dollar that succeeds is ensr-
getac-and careful. War Savings
Stamps do more than save your dol
lars. They put them to work at
compound interest. And they never
fail. Your government guarantees
every one of them.

BOYS TOUR U. S. WITH
GEARS SEALED In HIGH

Not unlike their adventuresome an
cestors, the Vikings of old. who roved
the seas centuries ago, Thure, Emil and
David Styrlund, three youths Of Viking,
Mimi, have just completed a land voy-
age covering more than half the United
States.
The tour was made in an Overland
Model 30 touring car, the model which
recently established a new worlds
sealed-ln high-gear run at Oklahoma
city. Throughout almost the entire
journey of approximately Is, 900 miles,
the model 80 pulled a trailer, as big as
the car itself, loaded with a camping
outfit and tools.
The three boys are carpenters. They
set out from their home In Viking e v
eral months ago with the intention OF
paying their expenses along the way by
working at their trade. In spite of the
extent OF the trip the boys seemingly
never tired of riding. They were as
highly enthusiastic upon their return as
they were at the start, 1t is said. They
declare their experiences are worth
many hundreds Of dollars to them and
that they would not have missed the
opportunity "for anything" All have
nothing hut praise for the model 80
which carried them over the Is, 000-mile
jorney.
During the entire trip they were not
compelled to change the spark plugs
with which the car was equipped at the
factory, the original plugs still giving
efficient service. They estimate that
the car averaged IL miles to the gallon
of gasoline with the trailer and 90 miles
without, which IN considered remark
able in view of the desert and noun
tain roads over which they passed.

HIGHWAY MOST
VALUABLE ASSET
STATE CAN HAVE

That the roads and highways Of a
SSate may he its most valuable asset ia
sne statement made by r. II. Spear,
PRESIDENT OF the All-American Truck
p Chicago. who SAYS.
properly built and maintained roads
~ lne state best asset, which,
through neglect, may be allowed 10 be.
SoIhe a troublesome and expensive bur-
ueu' what do a states most produc-
i've farming areas amount 10, or its
mining and mineral advantages avail,
~ tue roads and highways over which
me products Of these industries are
transported remain in such share that
y hecomes prohtbitively expensive to
carry these products from their points
Noi production to points Of consumption?
II is impossible for the farmer to
consume all that he produces upon his
,Sn9, LIKEWISE the city man can not
produce IN his back yard all that he
eats and wears. The space intervening
between these points Of production and
consumption IS OF varying degree and
radlates In all directions from either
point For that reason II is quite i'm
possible Tor the railroads to reach out
to each and every point OF agricultural
and mineral production.
MOST or us stu are compelled to
travel on terra firma and consequently
mere Is no place Of production which
has not its hypath or highway leading
70 lts gateway. The motor truck has
increased the carrying capacity of man,
but under the former condition OF his
beaten paths, which in many instances
are stu but little improved, the cost Of
carrying has been proportionately in
creased. The producer can not eXpeCt
consumption TO maintain under the in
creased costs. The consumer will starve
with crops rotting on the farms if the
producer can not transport his products
TO the points Of consumption and dis
pose Of them at a fair profit.
Inc modern and efficient methods
OF transportation will avail nothing II
the highways are impossible to these
vehicles. so the burden Of upkeep falls
mutually TO both the producer and con-
sumner. Each individual in either class
must cooperate in this effort, or be-
come a parasite on his brother to that
extent. Thus, it is easy to see that the
hlshWays OF any state may be mad Its
most valuable asset.
The following figures further prove
me value OF highways to a state or
group Of states, They are the findings
OF the bureau Of agriculture:
Farm value increase per year, 1880 to
1900, $500, 600, 600, population increase
per year, Pa pen cent. farm value in
crease per year, 1900 to 1915, 81, 300, 000,.
cent.
1.-THE 16-year period which is the au-
tomottve era shows farm values to have
Increased more than three times as
rapidly as in the preceding 2-year pc.
Rod, Motor trucks and automobiles
have brought better roads and better
roads have brought increased property
valuation. To what extent will the bet
terment of the highways further ad-
vance the value OF farms when improved
to a degree where travel by automotive
transport will be cheapened to the min
lmum? Improvement in highways, be
II great or small. will bring it's reward
to any state-the greater the improve
ment the greater the reward"

MOTORING A TONIC
DECLARES H. H. HULL

Just as the physician OF % years ago
often used to prescribe horseback rid
Ing as a tonic and health giver, so the
modern MD prescribes motoring in
numbers of cases where %restful, quiet
recreating in the open air IL needed, -
says IL. II. Hull, Of the Union Motor
Car company,
THE heaIthful properties accruing
from motoring are becoming well recog
nized by the medical profession. While
the early DAYS of the industry were
marked by the cry OF some physicians
that every ailment came from motoring,
today doctors have come to learn that
a~utomobillng is a revivifier that is bet
ter than many drugs.
II believe the way many business
men stood up under the strain of war
times has shown many Of them this
fact, A lot of men who could take no
vacation, tried an hour or 80 of daily
motoring with excellent results. They
are keeping It up today and the way in
which 1t restores their vIgor after a
hard days grind Is a revelation to them
and to their physicians"
