GRAIN IS STORAGE
 BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Almost Half of the Country's Corn Crop of Last Year Still Held
 by Farmers.

by Farmers.
 Washington. March 9.-L a 2 e I stocks of grain were held on farms March l, this year than on that date in any other year in history. Wheat was the only exception, the holdings in 1916, the year following the only billion bushel crop, having exceeded this years holdings by 37,000,000 bushels.
 Almost half of the country's record cera crop of last year remained on farm March T.; more than a quarter eff the wreat crop and almost half of the large crop of oats, according to the department of agriculture's esti- mates announced today
 The large crops of last year and decreased grain prices are believed to be largely responsible for the heavier holdings. Holdings of corn were more than half billion bushels larger than a year ago, while wheatAholdings were about 43,000,000 bushels more.
 Iowa, premier corn state, had 100,- ee0,000 bushels more corn on it's farms than on March 1, 1920, while Nebras- ka's holdings exceeded last years by S7,00o,000 bushels.
 With a few exceptions, the prin- cipal wheat producing states were holding larger stocks on farms than a year ago. Farm holdings of Kansas were largest, being about 5,000,000 bushels more than year ago; Me- hraska's holdings were second largest, and were more than 8,000,00 bushels larger than last year, while North Da- kota's stocks were third largest, about 4,500,000 bushels greater than last year

TO CURE SICK RUSSIA.

From the Kansas City olaE to come out of her madness. The up rising against Trotzky and Lenine may not mean the immediate wiping out of bolshevik control. but there is reason to believe it is the beginning of the end.
 The tranquilization of Russia is a long way in the future. That unhap- py state has been sick for so long that convalescence necessarily will require much time. But if Russia overthrows the bolsheviki and roots ou the damnable doctrines these madmen have preached and stops the damnable practices these madmen have imposed Russia can become whole again.
 Already Russia has paid an awful price for her idiocy and Russia has just begun to pay.
