Idaho's potato crop will also break
all previous records with a yield of
nearly ten million bushels, September
frosts were not as damaging as first
reported as yield of 1856 bushels to
the acre is now indicated for the 3d.
600 acres planted
Mr.. Jacobson estimates that about
half of the potatoes have been ship
ped, or about 5000 or 5000 cars, while
the rest is in storage.
During the month the United States
crop showed Improvement and is now
estimated at three hundred fifty-six
million bushels, which is about seven
ty-two million bushels less than last
years crop and close to fifteen million
bushels below the five year average.
1915-1919, of three hundred seventy
one million bushels. The potato crop
in the important states in bushels is

IDAH0'S APPLE And POTATO
CROPS ARE LARGE this YEAR

All previous records for apple crops
are broken by this years estimated
yield of more than four million bush
els, according to the monthly report
of julius H. Jacobson, agricultural
statistician of the Idaho crop report
ing service, issued Wednesday.
Last month it was estimated that
the carlot movement of apples would
be 4100 cars but this figure has
jumped 600 cars since the first Of Oc-
tober and the total is now placed at
4700 cars with a possibility of 5000 for
the season.
The crop of 1919, which was fonr
million bushels, is the previous large
crop against which the 1921 crop is
running a race. The exact yield for
this years crop, which is 95 per cent
of normal, is i,0S5,000 bushels.
The increase in the number Of cars
to be shipped is explained by Mr.. ia
cobson as being due to the shortage
of apples in the east. On account CT
this shortage he says, "a very large
proportion of the Idaho crop will
move out in carlots and the ship
ments are expected to reach 400 cars
On the whole, the quality and color
have been exceptionally high. Dis
tricts which heretofore have not been
commercially important, continue to
report a substantial number of cars
shipped each week"
In the United States, however, the
commercial crop dropped off more
than million and half barrels. The
commercial apple crop of the leading
states in barrels is as follows:

Moral Guilt and Legal Crime

Some people to have very hsz, ideas Of the
trial of the Chicago baseball players. There per-
who think that the aequtts OF the players
gives them honorable discharge from the aeeusa-
that made them and there others
who think that if 1t fact that the players did
do all they could to VIII the world series they ought
to have been sent 10 the penitentiary.
Fhe purpose Of court trial IS to prove whether
not person has violated law, and has
power 10 punish anyone for act that Is made
crime by the written law
In the present case It seems clear that of the
Chicago took money throw the world series.
It also appears that the taking Of money under such
circumstances Is not crime under the laws of the
of Illinois Later, there Is TO believe,
OF these players either did something failed
to do something. IN order TO lose the game for the
Chicago That also it claimed bv the attor
neys for the defense, is crime under the laws
Of Illinois.
Under such circumstances the acoual Of the players
by the court not a vindcation and 1t does not
eve them from the overwhelming verdict of public dis
approval and disgrace.

Not the Main Point

In argument against the Forduev tsrlf bill the
statement Is made without solvent customers We
cannot ourselves long remain solvent The ability OF
our debtors 70 pav what they and bu, for the
future largely dependent their finding market
here and upon the investment of surplus foreign
enterprise"
Such argument carries unnistakahle evidence Of
IT'S origin with whose chief concern Is with
foreign exports or imports.
Ninety-hve per of the business of the United
States is domestic business It consists, speaking
broadly, in American production and distribution, for
the benefit Of American Less than five per
cent. OF American business consists IN raising Aner
can products for foreign and in importing
foreign products for American consumers.
Apparently Of the who engaged in
foreign trade along the Atlantic seaboard think that
the main policy OF the United States should be to in
crease foreign exports from this country in order that
foreign imports into this country shall be increased
vice And they at all if in that process
American producers deprived Of the home market
If the welfare Of American producers and consumers
is be the dominating purpose of national policy, the
Fordney bill is right in principle If the purpose
of American policy Is expand the five per cent that
Is foreign business, that IS increase exports and
imports without regard the effect upon Americans
then the Fordney protective tariff is wrong.
Il remains to be whether the importers and ex-
porters Of the Atlantic the grest masses Of
American producers and consumers will control
American policy.

The company under contract to carry passengers

TO whip the company into line by of ''jitnsy'
competitions but the compan, could not get any bust
ness except the of weather with Scent fare
and 'jitney' competition: and it could not its

competition.
So after the financial hackers Of the company had
spent half million dollars a losing attempt tide
things thru, they abandoned the effort and a court
order suspended the service.
The lesson is fairly obvious. 4 contract is con-
tract and public utility corporation Is obligated to
keep its contract to its loss. But there
