PRICES NOT CUT BY
LARGER PRODUCTION
Interesting Figures Given by Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates.
Abnormal Conditions Created by War
and Other Causes Have Imposed
Special Relationship of Prices
and Value.

prepared by The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
It is often said that when the farm
has bumper crop the price is so
low that the total value of the crop
is below that of usual crop, but the
abnormal conditions created by the
war and other causes have imposed
special relationship of crop prices and
total value to the production of 1913
in comparison with 1917.
In the estimates of the bureau of
crop estimates it appears that larger
production has been followed by low
err price and lower total value only
for barley, cabbage, onions, and broom
corn, while larger production has been
followed by higher price and hence
by higher total value for wheat, buck
wheat, faXSeed, rice, sweet potatoes,
tobacco, apples, oranges, and cram
berries.
AS is often the fact, lower produc-
ton is associated with higher price
and higher total value for oats, hay,
sugar beets, peaches, and sorghum
raised for strip, but exceptions to this
relationship are found in potatoes and
hops, both of which had lower pro-
duction and lower price.
Rye cotton, the kafirs and peanuts,
had a higher production in 1918 than
in 1917 and d lower price, but not low
enough to prevent higher total crop
value; whereas these conditions were
reversed for corn and beans, both of
which had smaller crops and higher
prices, but not high enough to prevent
lower total crop value

UNSAFE SOURCES OF

Hints on Ice Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart

Streams, ponds, irrigation bitches
and small open reservoirs are unSatiS-
factory and unsafe sources of farm
water supply. The subject is consid-
cred in Farmers Bulletin 941, water
Systems for Farm Homes recently
issued by the United States department
of agriculture.
The temperature of such water sell
dom is satisfactory, and the presence
of more or less polluting matter is GER
tain Often the carcaSseS of farm ami
mails are found therein In thousands
of cases the domestic supply is taken
directly from irrigation bitches. In
other Instances cistern, often without
a filter, is filed at such times as the
ditch water runs clearest- Often open
reservoirs are necessary to collect and
store rainfall for the use of stock, and
occasionally they are used as sources
of domestic water and ice supplies.

that point a powerful built Colored
man rushed up right in front of as
with fighting blood in his eyes and
with a big club in his hand fully bent
upon beating up the two white gen.

and Just as the Colored man was
rushing at them with his club up in
the air ready to strike them over the
head all the time cursing and abus-
ing them although they had not said
nor done one thing to the Colored
man, the lady broke away from us
and ran to the side of the Colored
man grabbing him by the arm and
after we had both plead with him
and succeeded in convincing him
that he was doing wrong, that his act
would make it much worse for all of
the Colored people in Chicago, he
finally lowered his arm and walked
away with his club, and not one hair

were harmed. Just then i North

the lady at her home safetily
we wendell our way back on 35th
