CORN CROP ESTIMATED
THREE | !l|LL|On BUSHELS
Only Twice Before Has So Much
Been Produced; Wheat
Hurt by Rust.

Washington, Aug. 10.-A 5000, ,OOO, 900
bushel corn crop for the third time in the
history of the country was forecast yes
terday by the Department of Agriculture
| on the basis of conditions existing August
|. Inasmuch as August is the critical
month for the crop in the great corn belt
of the Middle West, it is uncertain whether
the promise of crop almost equal to the
enormous ones of 1912 and 1917 will be
fulfilled. Improvement was reported during
July in the important corn States with
the exception of Illinois, and as result
crop forecast of pa 100000 bushels
larger than that predicted July / was
issued.
Spring wheat was adversely affected
during July. principally by rust, and
the production forecast of the crop was
reduced 29,000,00 bushels from month
ago or to n total of 262 900, 900 bushels.
The preliminary estimate of winter wheat
production was 100000 bushels larger
than forecast in July, making the co
bined crop of winter and spring wheat
only 100000 bushels smaller than
estimated month ago. The total of
795, ,O0O, 900 bushels was predicted in to-
days report.
There was Improvement in the potato
crop and indications are that the crop
will exceed 400 900, 900 bushels for the
fourth time in the country's history.
The tobacco crop, which has been prom
ising from the start, has shown adj
ditional Improvement and probabilities
are that il will exceed the record crop pro-
duced in 1918 by near 200, 100000 pounds.
Total production is forecast at ,544 ,000,-
600 pounds.
Production of crops was forecast by
the department from their condition
on August l as follows: Winter wheat,

HOW 1l WORKS.
William Allen White in the Emporia
Gazette.

John d. Rockefeller has given an
other 100000, 900 for the benefit OF
his human brethren. 1t is to be used
to promote education, to fight disease
and to do any other benevolent work
which mis- trustees may find to do.
The hundred million dollars will dc
some real good in the world. 1t may
be assumed that the money is more or
less "tainted;" that it was acquired IT.

was largely because we were develop

than we were growing spiritually.
Anyway Rockefeller was not so much

the regular channels of government
And behold, we show you a mystery:
| This money distributed as it is now
being distributed is largely going to
make men like Rockefeller impossible
in the next decade. The money is
flowing into channels that will make
people wise and strong. As they grow
wiser and stronger they will be able
to see more clearly and act more force
fully in their own behalf. They viii
be able to take as taxes or as death
dues or as punitive fines the surplus
from acquisitive men like John D.,
and the people may be able by legisla-
ton to do for service what Rockefeller
has b2en doing for profit. In that day
they will prevent the accusnu alton
| of great piles of unearned wealth.
| 1t was necessary that John d..
l.ish, and then should be conscience
tstricken and finally disgorge for "the
good of them that love the Lord" so
that another generation might learn
how evil thing it is for men to func
ton in society as he and his kind func-
ton. 1t is very well to go after the
man who stands at the toll gate and
grabs millions upon millions of pennies
from the passing commerce. But we
must not forget two big important
things: First, that he and his kind
are perfecting an economic organiza-
ton which society ev ntually shall
either take over or duplicate, and sec
ond, that their accumu ations distri-
buted as conscience fund or what not
do help the rising level of popular in
ltelligence will make penny robbery
more and more impossib'n.

common good. The more one sees IF
at long range, the surer he is that
the assistant angel to whom the Lord
has assigned the business of super
vising PROCESS on the little old fly
speck in the solar system called the
earth, is right on the job, day and
night and Sunday. There is mighty
little of ultimate wrong that really
gets by, in spite of our lamentations
about the depravity of man.

Tax paying time in our sister state

up and take notice The situation is
SO tense that it has been openly adj
vocated that the schools be closed in
order to cut down expenses. The
Minneapolis Tribune points out that
taxes for state purposes the past four
years have increased 1863 per cent. 1t
gives numerous individual instances
where taxes on quarter section of
land have increased enormously In
one instance the increase was as high
as $167.32; in others $72.83, $56.97,
$65.53 and so on. Socialistic expert

These performances are not reclted
to deny the fact that he was great
man in his day, one of the worlds
most versatile geniuses and in ma7v
ways an accomplished writer. But
! all such distinctions will not save MIN
from the anger of that wide world
which loves its Dickens when it learns
that he left letter in which he des-
Icribed Charles Dickens as IAN ill-natur-
Led, selfish cad and boor; who had no
understanding of what the world gen
tleman meant, and no appreciation of
hospitality or good treatment"
Dickens was selfish! And yet his
work more than any other factor in
| tho Victorian era ameliorated the con
ditions of the poor of the warehouses;
and brought a wave of sympathy for
little children whose lives IRE be-
gun in misery.
He was cad and boor! But he
did as much even as Thackeray to
make mockery of the caddishness of
snobbery, to reveal the hypocrisy of
the fakely religious, and to awaken the
Anglo Saxon world to the som fool rig
marole of many of its public functions
and legal processes.
Dickens may not have been gentle
man according to the refined lights of
Theodore Roosevelt and his hand
picked coterie. But he was loved by
world, worshiped by millions, and is
today, despite sneerihg retorts to the
contrary offered by the captious read
ers Of nothing much else than the ma
terialistic romances of the Saturday
Evening Post, more widely read than
when he was at his zenith. Theodore
Roosevelt was too great man to
sheer at another just as great as he
was in an even greater sphere.

of Dickens works than be the president
of the United States or the king of

A Pleasure (?) Trim

that it would be rather embarrassing
for the Secretary of State of an adj
ministration about to pass into des-
uetude to seek pleasure in visiting
other governments as representa-
tive who by no possible chance can
be able to represent. They further
might well conclude he could STAY at
home. with greater prepriety under
the circumstances. We have seen.
however, no mention of Secretary
Colby canceling his itinerary to coun-
tries in South America to which he
was to set sail Nov. "a.
Our southern neighbors and fellow
Americans pride themselves on their
politeness. They may not ask our
distinguished head of the State De-
partment embarrassing questions.
Because of their fine courtesy he may
be able to get away with it and eniov
the trip, which seems to be the onlv
plausible excuse for his making it,
One. however, may indulge in amused
conjecture as to how he would fee,
should he be asked whether one

A Big Milk Surplus
Prices Should Fall

Chicago, Nov. 24EThere is big
surplus of milk in the country and
milk prices generally should be lower
than they are, ]. w. Coverdale, secre-
tary of the American Farm Bureau
of the federation's call for a national
conference OF milk producers. The
conference, he said. aims to work out
some better method of marketing
ilk and will consider the possibili
ties of cooperation.
"A number of condenseries abso-
lutely refuse to buy milk and many
producers don't know what to do
with large part of their supply" Mr..
Coverdale said. "In New York State
producers have put up several of
bought several more that had closed.
They propose to can their milk and
lay it away on the shelves until the
time when the public will want it.
There is so much milk without a
demand for it that think milk could
be sold for less and still pay out.
People would use more of it. Some
of the people are not using as much
milk as they should.
THE present difficulty dates back l
think. to the high price of sugar.
Sugar is used in condensing milk
and the condenseries filled their
shelves with milk put up at high
price. There is no export sale and
the condenseries are trying to force
the consumer to buy this milk. The
people are not doing it. and the re-
suit is there is TOD much condensed
milk in the country"
