Records for Five
Crops are Broken

American farmers broke produc-
ton records of five crops this year.
Preliminary estimates announced by
the Department of Agriculture show
the corn, tobacco, rice, sweet po-
tatoe and pear crops surpassed in
size those Of any previous year in
the country's history.
In addition very large crops were
grown in some instances closely ap-
preaching records of oats, barley,
rice, potatoes, apples and hay. The
buckwheat production record, how
ever, has stood since 1866 with this
years crop more than 100000
bushels under it. Final crop produc
ton figures will be announced next
month.
Corn, king of all crops and OF
which the United States grows mdre
than 20 per cent Of the worlds out
put, reached the enormous total OF
3,199, 10000 bushels. That is 75,-
100000 bushels more than ever be.
fore grown in any year. This is the
third crop to exceed three billion
bushels, the previous record having
been made in 1911, while the crop Of
1917 was the second largest.
In point of value this years corr
crop will not equal that of last year
Based on December l prices, whicl
was $1.33 a bushel, last years crol
was worth $3,934,234,OOO. The crol
of 1912 was valued at 81, 500, 454, 00t
On the December l price of 4S.7c {
bushel, and the 1917 crop at So,
920, 22S,000, with the December prize
almost $1.30 bushel.
The value of this years crop
based on the November l farm pric,
which was S7.3 cents a bushsl, il
estimated at 1922, $4,000.
The tobacco crop thiSyear, PLACED
at LAG, 444, 900 pounds by the pre-.
liminary estimate, is S7,000,00(
pounds more than grown last year
when all previous records were ther
broken. Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina exceeded theii
last years production, while Ken
tucky's crop this year is 100000
pounds less than a year ago. d
Production of rice this year ex-
ceeds by 100000 bushels the pre-
vious largest crop in 1917. The out
put TINS year is placed at o2t29o.OOO
bushels.
The sweet potato harvest will show
1O5.676,O bushels, which is ST.
100000 bushels more than grown
last year, when the crop exceeded
all previous years. production. Ala
bama's output is larger than that of
any other state.
The crop of pears this year is
placed at 1883, 900 bushels. The
previous crop was that of 1917,
when 1921, 900 bushels were pro-
duced. California produced more
than 100000 bushels, while New
York's production is almost 1885,

The bill has been completed by

In music for Washington is put forth
by Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, editor Of
the Department for the Civic Centers.
The forthcoming rendition of Cole
ridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha-" by the
Howard University Choral Society
makes her resume particularly in
teresting at this moment.
"In 1902 the S. Coleridge Taylor
Choral Society came into existence
through the special effort of the
Treble Cleft Club. led by it's president,
Mrs A. +. Hilyer.
"How well most of us remember
those rehearsals of 'Hiawatha' under
the baton OF John T. Layton, who was
the first and only director of the
Choral Society, affectionately called
the 'Hiawatha Chorus!
"It was this society which brought
Mr.. Coleridge- Taylor first TO Amer
ica's shores for the great perform
ances of his trilogy 'Hiawatha,' with
Kittie Skeene Mitchell. of Cleveland,
soprano, Harry Burleigh, then in his
richest voice, baritone, and Sidney
Woodward, tenor as the soloists."
Since the establishment of Commun-
ity Centers by the Public Schools in
1915, nine centers have grown up, in
six of which are choruses with a
local leader, each chorus known by
the name of the center to which it is
attached.
The Community Center Choral
Union has fostered at Dunbar General
Civic Center this season since October
four free organ recitals, eight song
services, two band concerts, and sew
eral miscellaneous literary and musi-
cal programs, on Sunday afternoons.
