farmers broke production records of
five crops this year. Preliminary esti-
mates just announced by. the depart
ment of agriculture show the corn, to-

crop 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, rye,
potatoes, apples and hay. The buck
wheat production record, however, has
stood since 1906 with this years crop
more than 100000 bushels under it.
Corn, king of all crops and of which
the United States grows more than
10 per cent of the worlds output,
reached the enormous total of $780,
10000 bushels. That is 75,000,000
bushels more than ever before grown
in any year. This is the third corn crop
to exceed 3,000000,000 bushels, the
previous record having been made in
1912, while the crop of 1917 was the
second largest.
Corn Value Less Than Last Year.
In point of value this years corn
crop will not equal that of last year
Based on the December price, which
was $1.33 a bushel, it was worth So
934234,000.
The value of this years crop, based
on the November | farm price, which
was 1873 cents bushel, is estimated
at $2,792,837,000.
Iowa's corn crop is the largest OF
any state, at 441,660,000 bushels; Hi
nois ranks second with 2,634,000
bushels. and Nebraska third at ESQ.,
998,000 bushels.
The tobacco crop this year, placed
at 1,476, 444,000 pounds by the prelim-
mary estimate, is 100000 pounds
more than grown last year when all
previous records were broken. Viz
ginia, North Carolina and South Caro-
Ina exceeded their last yera's produc-
ton, while Kentucky's crop this year is
10000, 600 pounds less than year ago.
Rice Excess 100000 Bushels.
Production of rice this year exceeds
bv 100000 bushels the previous
largest crop, in 1917 The output this

almost half of which was grown in
Louisiana.
The sweet potato harvest will show
O5,676,000 bushels, which is 2,0O0,O 900
bushels more than grown last year,
when the crop exceeded all previous
years production. Alabama output is
larger than any other state.
The crop of pears this year is placed
at 15,558,000 bushels. The previous
largest crop was that of 1917, when
1921 900 bushels were produced, Cal
ifornia produced more than 100000
bushels, while New York's production
is almost 2,250,000 bushels.
Other Estimates.

WreStle with.
WASHINGTON, d. C.-Counting
all expenses from the congressional
election of 1918 down to last day of
the presidential campaign the republi-
can party spent $6,250,000 to win con-
troll of the government from the demo-
cratic party-or, as some of them
would rather put it. to rescue the
country from Woodrow Wisconsin.
The republican party is now 81, $780,
600 in debt, partly as the result OF
these large expenditures and partly
because no large contributions could
be received. For all practical purposes
there was no violation of the $1,000
limitation placed on contributions by
National Chairman Will H. Hayes.
A conference will take place late
this week to devise ways and means
of raising this million and half.
As the excitement of the election is
over, it is felt by many OF the party
leaders that it would be very difficult
to raise such a large sum as a million
and a half by popular subscriptions.
There is not the fear of democratic
victory which would drive the little
fellows to contribute. Men must con-
tribute, it is thought to whom the
money means less-men who could
contribute $4,000 or more without re-
vising their personal budgets to keep
their heads above water,
Both Parties in Same Pickle.
Therefore, it is expected that the
question of lifting the ban on sub
scriptions in excess of $1,000 may be
considered. The republicans may be
forced, if the expected happens, to fol-
low the example of the democrats in
accepting big contributions after the
campaign is over The democrats did
this in 1916 and in 1918, and they will
probably be forced to do it again this
year, as they also have large deficit
The task with the democrats is lit
tie harder, for two reasons. First,
there is not the flush of victory to
help them, and no one is going to con-
tribute to the democratic national cam
paign fund i'll the hope, for example,
OF getting an ambassadorship. Almost
every ambassador appointed by Pres
ident Wilson had been a heavy con

Gratis placed no restriction on contri-
buttons during the campaign, so that
there are not many in the party cor
responding to men in the republican
party who contented themselves with
contributing $1,000 to the national
committee when they would have been
perfectly willing to have given $25,-
900.
OF the $6,250,OO0 spent by the re-
publicans ST, $780, O0-curiously enough
Just the amount of the present dehcit
had been spent before the nomina-
ton of Senator Harding. The con
gressional committee spent $500, 1000
and the senatorial committee $200,O0O.
The national committee during the
campaign proper, excluding the money
spent prior to the convention, spent
about $4,000,000.

THE FINAL STATE

Suffrage still is in search of that
thirty-sixth state. With intense anX-
iety the leaders in the cause are
watching both Hartford and Mont
pelier. On Wednesday several hun
dred members of the Vermont Equal
Storage League marched through
the rain To the State House and pre-
scented their appeal to Gov Clement
that he summon the Legislature in
special session. The gubernatorial
objections that he doubted the valid
ity of ratification without a popular
referendum and that the special SEES

who has been a Judge of the superior
court. reasons against calling a special

The legislatures of both states would

ment if given a chance to vote upon
plans under way for a great series of
meetings early in May designed to Gre

WHO DOES FLORIDA WANT FOR
PRESIDENT

That is the fnomentous question
the Tampa Times asks. The Gaines
vile Sun has already told the Times
and all else whom it may concern,
that we want VIM. G. McAdoo, be-
cause with him. the democratic party
can win. But the question the Times
asks relates more particularly to the
matter of the views entertained by
the various gentlemen who are candi
dates for delegates to the democratic
national convention. How, indeed
do they stand? We cannot recall
them all now but we've got to vote
for a whole lot of them on primary
day. If we knew them all like we
know Frank Harris. for instance, we
could mark their names with conf
dence. With many of them we're in
the dark about what sort of demo
Gratis they are The Times says:
For whom would the people of
Florida vote for president if they were
given the opportunity? No one knows
Although a score or more of gentle
men have announced that they wish
to represent the state at the San Fran
cisco meeting of the democratic party
where the next standardbearer of the
party will be nominated. not one of
them has yet made clear statement
of whom he will support there.
The Times believes ii is proper and
but showing the right respect for the
electorate of the state that the can
didates for delegates should say whom
they favor for president. 1t is not Bill
Smith for delegate that the people
want to vote for but McAdOo. or Mar
shall or Wilson or Edwards or Cox,
or some other democrat for president.
1t is not the personality of the dele
gate that should be considered. but
his preference for president.
"Florida's vote is no trading piece
for any delegate or set of delegates, to
be bartered away at San Francisco
to the candidate who will promise the
most in patronage for it. Let the
delegates tell who they are for then
they can go before the people on a
proper basis. We will have some idea
of what they are asking the people of
the state to give them" -Gaiesyilhe
