HOPE FOR THE FARMER.

Slightly reduced acreage and I'M
favorable weather conditions have
brought considerable shrinkage in
the American wheat crop, although
corn acreage is larger than last
year, and the prospects for big pro-
duction are excellent. Overseas re-
ports are along the same line.
The cold, wet spring in Central
Europe has hampered the spring
seeding of cereals, while the winter
wheat area was reduced. Poland
and Roumania, normally large pro-
ducers, are optimistic; but Algeria
and Tunis, usually sources of large
supply, have suffered greatly from
drouth, while French prospects are
upfavorable
British India promises large crops,
and Argentina and Australia, which
harvest in our mid winter, are plant
ing average acreage under good
conditions. Russia, however, cannot
be counted upon to produce enough
for her own sustenance for half a
dozen years, and must continue to
import grain.
The situation is not one which
should make any American farmer
Respondent.
Paragould soliphone. (Paragould, Ark.) 1918-1950, 1922-06-21
IMPORTS GAIN AGAIN

American imports, which shrank
sharply during the war years when
the tremendous gain in exports COM
manded national attention and slim
plated agricultural and industrial
production to the limit, are now
making marked gains and there is
every evidence that the increase is
to be permanent one.
Despite the fact that business is
not yet normal, imports are now
consistently above the 1913 levels,
and increased consumption of oil,
i.ilk, sugar, tea, tobacco and wool
indicate new conditions in our bust
ness at home Purchases of hides,
lag but those of finished manufac-
tured goods, and especially of cot
ton fabrics and cutlery are setting
new records.
All this BODIES well for American
business. The worlds debts, ma
tional and otherwise to the United
States are enormous, and they must
be paid, at least for the most part,
in goods. Every substantial gain
in the volume Of our imports is evil
dence of the worlds. gradual return
to normal business conditions-and
of changes overseas which cannot
fail to strengthen the market for
American products.

accepted by the railroad employees
would mean that labor provisions
of the transportation act are a fraud
perpetrated on labor" Further, the
letter said, the board made ''blun-
der in interpreting the interest of
the transportation act, but added
1--WE cannot expect any change in
your attitude"
The letter is signed by B. NJ. Jew
ell president, and John Scott, secre-
tary, of the Railway Employees De-
partment, American Federation Of
Labor, and the heads Of the machin-
lists, blacksmiths, boilermakers, sheet
metal workers, electrical workers,
carmen, maintenance of way em-
ployes, clerks, stationary firemen
and oilers and signalmen unions.
Mr.. Lewis, the miners leader, was
the only one to discuss the probable
effect OF 4 walkcut by the railroad
shopmen, section and signal men
and clerks. He said that railroad
transportation would begin to slow
down right away after the men quit,
and that train operation will be af-
fected, although none of the big
four" transportation brOtherhoods di-
rectly concerned in train movement
is included in the walkout. In ad-
dition, he said, 1.-The domestic and
Industrial troubles generally would
increase in progressive ratio" with
the walkout Of the rail men coming
on top of the coal strike, which he
said had kept 100000 men out OF
the mines since last April.
MIR. Lewis said the miners will
do anything that is helpful and con
stuctive for the railroad men and
| for the miners themselves"
Il am convinced" he added, that
the railroad men and the rank and
lfile of the railroad organizations
frankly recognize the necessity OF
making a fight regardless of the
consequences" ..

closed car will be more than 2S per
cent of the total. And the demand
is far from satisfied.
Bodymakers everywhere are work
ing to capacity, and deliveries. OF
closed cars are much more difficult
to obtain than of roadsters and
touring cars. Motor car builders
belicYe that the closed car percent
age. which made its first big jump
in 19l9-2o, will continue to increase
until more than one-third of the
country's automobiles are OF this
type.
Not the least interesting phase of
this marked tendency is the demand
for the lower priced enclosed cars.
Approximately 80 per cent Of this
yoars Fords will be enclosed, as
against 23 pc cent last year, Is
per cent in 1920 and only S.3 per
cont in 1919. The closed cars
popularity may logically be expected
to make winter driving much more
general everywhere and this, in turn,
can hardly fail to stimulate the
whole automobile industry i'll its
innumerable ramifications.

DOGS IN SUMMER.

Mad dog time is approaching. One
paper suggests to the local authori-
ties in its own community Athat all
dogs be muzzled when not confined
to their own door-yards. This is one
precaution which helps, of course,
but it is invariably fought by a few
dog-owners, and it is also difficult
to enforce. The damage is often
done before the authorities have dis
covered that an unmuzzled dog is at
large.
There is another precaution which
parents need to emphasize strongly.
Children should learn that it is both
dangerous and unkind to tease a
dog. They should be taught not to
fondle stray dogs. Extreme hot
weather is difficult enough for hui
man beings to endure, although they
can Tighten their clothing, procure
water to drink or to battle face and
arms with whenever they need it,
and do other things to alleviate
their discomfort. Even then they
are often short of temper. How
much more difficult for the dumb
animals on city streets, Give then
plenty Of water, but don't poster
them with attention.
