RECORD YIELD
OF MANY CROPS
Corn Shows Big Gain and
3,OOO,OO0,OOO Bushels
Are Forecasted
SPRING WHEAT ALONE
FAILS TO IMPROVE

WASHINGTON, Aug. iO.-Crops in
many instances are record breakers.
according TO the official estimates Of
the crop condition as Of August 4.
made public by the Department OF
Agriculture.
Spring wheat alone OF the principal
food crops failed to show an i'm
provement over The July forecast.
A 3OO0O00,OOO-bu corn crop for
the third time In the history OF the
country was forecast lnasmuch 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 a 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 a result a crop fore
cast 22i00000 bushels larger than
that predicted July was issued.
Spring wheat was adversely affected
during July. principally by rust, and
the prediction Of the forecast OF the
crop was reduced 29mOO0 bushef
from a month ago, or TO a total OF
262 100000 bushels The preliminary
estimate Of winter wheat production
was i5O00O00 bushels larger than
forecast in July, making the combined
crop Of winter and spring wheat only
100000 bushels smaller than estlm-
ated a month ago. The total OF
100000 bushels was predicted In
today's report.
There was Improvement in the 20.
taio crop. and indications are thai
the crop will exceed 10000 900 bushels
for the fourth time in the country's
history.
The tobacco crop, which has beer
promising from the start has showr
additional Improvement and proba.
hilties are that 10 will exceed M
record crop produced in 1918 by about
200O00OOO pounds. Total production
Is forecast at i5iiOO0.OOO pounds.
This result is In marked contras
10 predictions made earlier In th'
wear that the production would ap
proach the point where shortice n
home consumption would be had anC
that there would be practically no ex
portable surplus. The result a.
shown today assures Of a plentiful
for home consumption and a oonSid
ersble surplus for export.
The immediate effect the repor
will have on the high prices Of food
stuffs is problematical, according Il

Timber in South Africa,

AS the Importance of providing
future supply Of timber begins to be
appreciated, it is interesting to note
that E. j. Laschinger, past president Of
the South African Institution of En-
gineers, points to South Africa as one
Of the worlds best fields for timber
growing. The work must be done on
large scale by the government, as
individuals cannot wait for the re-
turns, and his observation has been
that the various kinds Of pine are the
trees most suitable. The variable
winds exert such a twisting upon
growing trees that straight grained
timber of certain kinds is difficult to
obtain. Pine seems to withstand the
comforting influence more effectively
than other kinds, and very fine,
straight grained timber Of this sort is
produced. AS a great advantage to
the country. the planting Of many pine
forests from the equator down to the
Cape is urged.

batiste together. Some frocks show
rows of insertion running around the
skirt at intervals OF six or eight inches.
This is not so difficult as it requires
only straight lengths Of the goods with
the insertion whipped to the edges.
Even an amateur may be sure Of the
required accuracy by following this
model.
Very pretty swiss and net frocks
rely upon tucks and frills Of the same
materials for their trimming. Tucks
at rather wide intervals above three
inch hens and frills, finished with mar
row hens at the neck and finishing the
short sleeves, emphasize a desired sim
plicity In these frocks. Girdles and
sashes of narrow ribbons seem to be-
long to them. Occasionally the frills
are edged with very narrow lace.
These sheer frocks are to be worn
over petticoats of the same f1neness, or
over silk slips. Organizes in light col
ors vary the choice and are used for
lovely frocks. Only the first of the new
offerings in party frocks for spring
have arrived, but it is quite safe to use
them as models to copy. Something
different but nothing prettier will fol-
low them

Dodson is making q hard fight
against calomel in the South. EEery
druggist has noticed a great falling off
In the sale of calomel. They all give
the same reason, Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better results
said a prominent local druggist bod
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but a few cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliOusness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent

day and tomorrow you will feel weak,

ton frocks of fine batiste, organdie,

fabric and lace are to be set together

OIL ROMANCE NEARS ITS END
Production, of Course, Will Go On,
But 1t Will Be Prosaic in
the Extreme.

There are vast deposits Of shale in
q number of our Western states. Col
orado, 1t is calculated, can be made to
produce 100000 barrels of oil day
for 800 years. The significance of
that statement may best be appreci-
ated by rejecting that such rate of
production, If maintained for single
year, would surpass the tidal perform
ance of even the great Gushing field.
And who will presume to limit the
future source of oil to shaie? In one
form or another prospecting goes on
ceaselessly.
No oilless age awaits us; but the
passing of the drills and derricks may
occasion a sigh. The "eXcitements"
which conscript the soldiers Of for
tune. where foregather the clans of
varied circumstance, the multi-cOlored
obligations with their clamor- Of sud-
den affluence and their silences of the

roaring camps. We shall have Oil, pro-
duced as per schedule, its records pre-
served in prim. respectable ledgers,
but the romance Of oil, even now,

little no harm is done. When it is
pressed and made up into Il suit for
the youngster the material is really as
good as new. In case it has worn
shiny it should be turned, placing the

more than in grown-ups two pairs of
pants for one coat is economical. \
suit with two pairs of pants will wear
more than twice as long as suit with
only one pair. 1t is not particularly
difficult TO make boys clothes. The
pants, if cut by reliable pattern, are
easy. When the coat is undertaken
the lining should be first cut and fitted,
using Il simple pattern as a guide.
Discarded shirts of percale and ma
dras are used by many housewives for
making aprons. There is great va
riety of patterns for the smaller
aprons that are needed by every wom
an who busies herself at home with
housework or sewing. The skirts are
ripped up, washed and the material
pressed. The designers of patterns
have seen to it that a number of prac-
teal aprons are made up of several
sections of cloth and this makes it
easy to cut them from other garments.
