Seven BILLION.
DOLLAR CROP IS
NOW FORECAST
Farmers OF United States Have Best
Chance for Record Breaking Year
In a Decade-CrOp Values
Staggering.

According to present indications,
1922 will go down in history as the
year Of national recovery, Rose S. Field
special writer in the New York Times,
says in feature story on agricultural
conditions.
The reasons, pointing to this conclu-
sion are many. First, there is the fore
cast of a crop valued at more than
seven billion dollars. During the years
of the war and those Immediately fol-
lowing seven billion dollars was fig
ure not given the importance it de-
serves. Today, however, it is coming
out of the shadows and once more
reaching the heights.
The farmers themselves admit that
should the forecast prove true, seven
billions dollars will do more today to
take them out OF the woods than did
the fifteen billion crop of 1919. If truth
may be told, 1t was that same crop Of
1918, with its false values and inflated
costs, that helped to no small extent
to place them there.
A $7,OOO,OOO,OOO bumper crop was
the forecast made short time ago by
individuals who had their finger on
the agricultural pulse OF the nation
Seven billion dollars, number to be
conjured with, a figure that would
mean national salvation to many Eu-
ropean countries now struggling to rid
themselves of q war debt.
1t is seldom that forecast of this
nature is made only to be corrected by
great figure. Yet that seems to be
the situation in crop prospects. Ac-
cording to all indications, the harvest
ing this year will bring in prize
greatly superior to the one of last. In
1921 s7,02S, 10000 went into the farm
ing exchequer of the country. Unfor--
tunateIy very little of this went into
the pockets of the farmer. Labor costs,
taxes, interest and shipping rates were
high, prices were low. So that in spite
of the vast, unimaginable amount of
money that came in as a result of the
farmers industry, little went into his
own pocket, according to agricultural
authorities.
This year, however, the outlook has
changed greatly for the better. Labor
costs are lower, labor supply good and
prices at the present seem to show
fair return for the amount of work
that went into the growing of the crop.
The farmer is returning to a normal
basis or work on a greater and per-
haps more intensive acreage. and is
setting a pace which he will doubtless
continue for the years to come.

OLD CITY ON TEMPLE SITE
American Archeologists Have Con-
vinced Themselves of Facts Con-
cernlng Ancient Sardls.

Doctor Hogarth, keeper Of the Ash
mclean museum In oxford, recently
gave a series of lectures on the exca-
vations conducted by American archie
ologists at Sardis. About fifty Latin
inscriptions were discovered In the
temple ruins by the Americans. Most
of the inscriptions were found, how
ever, On the lower slopes Of the noun
tain at the rear of the temple.
The object Of the undertaking was
to settle the question as to whether
the temple columns stood on the site
Of the ancient Sardis or whether 1t
had disappeared with the collapse of
the acropolis. The archeologists sat
town did stand on the temple site.
The theory Is that the temple was
built originally In the Fourth century /;
indeed, one Of the inscriptions discov-
tigonous, or about 300 B. @. Traces
have also been found of an earlier
sandstone temple under the other
fragments. Originally the temple had
facades; not many architects today
would design building to support
such great weight on such supports.
The work of excavation was great
ly facilitated by the importation of
whole railroad from the United States.

$4,000 Grains From One.

An experiment to show the fecundity
Of grain Of wheat has just been con-
cluded at the official school of agricul-
ture, Vallodolid, Spain, with the result
that one grain produced in year 822, :
900 grains.
AT the end Of July 100 grains were
sown separately. At the end of Sep
tember the grains had developed an
average Of II shoots each. These were
cut and transplanted and by the end
Of October each cutting furnished an
average Of eight shoots, which pro-
duced 90 ears each, and each ear gave
an average of so grains. A simple
multiplication sum shows that each of
the original grains planted reproduced
Itself 12x8x65x50, making a total of
1920 grains

AGE AND THE MODERN YOUTH
Attitude of the Youngsters Is by No
Means Necessarily Mark
of Disrespect.

When we find the children slipping
away, excluding us from their pleas
ures, it's time to let them understand
that we're far from being ready for
the scrap heap.
The fact that children don't run to
bring fathers slippers as they used to,
doesn't mean any lack of consideration
for the parent who has worked hard
all day to support his family. | prefer
to think the passing Of this custom In
dicates a hope in the young mind that
father hasn't yet reached the slippered
age, but still has a stomach not wholly
satisfied with warmed-Over cabbage.
Slippers are the symbol, the outward
and visible sign of approaching senil-
ity. Father would be lot better off
If he forsook the old armchair and took
the family to q vaudeville show or
movie. When my fifteen-year-ol son
looks In on me when I'm shaving and
asks, cheerfully, "How's the hero feel
ing this morning?" I am flattered. He
doesn't mean to be impudent; he Is
merely greeting me as though l were
a comrade of his own age.
1 Ishould certainly forfeit his conf
dence in my sense of humor If l put
down the razor to tell him that in my
youth children showed their parents
more respect. l tried that for a year
or two and 1t didn't work. My past
is nothing to him; he finds the world
as it is sufficient for all purposes, and
If he can have the car this afternoon
he'll be very much obliged P'-Mere-

Stars In Daylight.

It has been recently found that
photographs Of stars down to the
sixth magnitude degree OF bright
ness) can be taken n broad daylight,
so that astronomical photography
need no longer be confined to the
night. The discovery follows Lord
Rayleigh's finding that the color of the
sky Is caused by the diffusion Of sun
light by the atmosphere, and that the
quantity of light dispersed is different
In the case of different colors.
If the stellar photographs are taken
through very deep red screen the
stars appear with distinctness. Exper-
iments on these novel lines are being

know Of no country or section of
a country that offers the opportunity
for good pastures as does the Prairie
belt of East Mississippi. And if a
little thought and attention be given
the subject, the result will be graft
flying.
In the first place, all varieties of
legumes grow well here; each in its
season, and in addition Kentucky
blue grass, wild rye. red top, orchard
grass, Johnson grass, paspallum, and
last but not least comes the founda
ton of all permanent pastures, Ber-
muda grass.
The first thing to be considered is
a good substantial hog proof fence;
the next, a bountiful supply of fresh
water, along with few scattered
shade trees.
On or about the first Of Septem-
Der, the surface of pasture should
be well agitated; then sow on the
Bermuda sod, as well as other lands,
mixture of white clover, red Glow
err, hairy vetch, crimson clover, black
medic, burr clover, Kentucky blue
grass, and, in fact, mixture of all
the legumes you can combine, with
all the grasses mentioned above.
Keep stock off until it gets start,
and of course, for the first year be
careful, as the pasture is in the MAX
ing. Each Spring let grasses get
good start before letting stock on
pasture, so the land will be kept well
covered, and the evaporation is not
comparably as great as where it is
grazed closely, and surface exposed.
Do not be afraid of grasses getting
coarse and tough, as legumes are air.
