PROGRESS IN FARMING.

The annual report of Secretary Hous-
ton of the department of agriculture
gives some remarkable figures about
the farmers of this country. First the
American farmer leads the world in
Individual production of crops Taking
the acreage and yield per acre into ac-
count the American farmer produces
two and a half times as much as Bel
gian farmer or a German farmer, %
times as much as British farmer, 80
times as much as a French farmer and
six times as much as the Italian farm
er. Such superior producing capacity
by the American farmer assures the
leadership of this country in food pro-
duction
The American farmers have beaten
their own records in the past year The
aggregate value of all crops produced
this year is $l5,s73, 000,0 900, compared
with fiveyear average of $500 ,000,-
| 600, or nearly three times the five-year
| average. Two years of such produe-
ton would give money enough to wipe
out the entire national war debt. This
great increase is not merely an increase
in valuation of farm produce. In the
past year the acreage of the leading
cereals was 100000 acres larger thar
the pre-war annual average and the
methods of production have increased
the quantity of farm produce by 635,
100000 acres. Increasing the yiell
more than ten times as much as the,
increased the acreage is very credit
able showing. This was accomplishe,
under adverse circumstances. TIL
farmers could not secure the potas
needed for fertilizer and they wer
greatly handicapped by lack of hell
They have also increased the humble
of milch cows in the country by 300
600 since 1914, other cattle by $500
900, swine by 100000 and horses an
/ mules by 100000, total increase
Il livestock of 2S,900,000 During til

II dustry in this country can make SUI

In fact in all industries dependent u
on organized labor there has been
great increase in wages and reducti
in the production per man. How

- struck and stopped production in a
part of his work, with a reduced m
power he has greatly increased the
tai output of farm products, has /

ready today to continue his efficier
as a producer. He is a great elemt
of strength in our national and ind
trial life and it is hoped he will
able to help force all labor into do
its share to perpetuate the prosper
the country enjoys.

Domestic Ca, Distinct Species.

The Egyptian cat seemed to have a
good claim TO the honor of being the
ancestor of the domestic cat, both on
account of its tapering tail and size.
in which it bears a great similarity to
the domestic cat. But peculiarities
which were discovered In its dentition
were sufficient to remove its claim. So
1t seems best to consider the domes-
tic cat distinct species.

Efforts of the government to check
the swindles being perpetrated by the
suave, well-dressed stock promoter
have had such dampering effect on
his activities that he is taking refuge
behind skirts. Women are now being
employed, elderly-looking women with
maternal ways which are calculated to
disarm suspicion.
The latest warning from the Treas.
ury Department is:
do not let the appearance or the
dress or the sex of the Liberty Bond
scalper disarm your suspicion. No
reputable stock sales person will try
to trade for your Liberty Bonds. Hold
your bonds!"
