Wheat Important
The wheat crop as a whole, the re-
port says, has much to do with the
prosperity of the nation for it enters
into foreign trade to a greater extent
than any other crop except cotton.
This country has exported a surplus
of the crop every year with the ex,
ception of 1886, beside keeping pace
with an ever increasing demand at

On the whole the 1927 year book is

The 1921 year book compiled by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has come from the press, and is
being distributed through members of
congress to the public, it is estimated
that already 100000 copies have been
sent out so far.
The year book in make up of its con-
tents differs from the style used in the
past, and the book represents more
work than has ever been put on pre-
vious one.
1t is the first of four year series
in which each book will treat complete.
! ly only five or six subjects, the volume
for 1921 includes four worked out stud
les on the major agricultural crops,
beew cattle, corn, cotton, and wheat,
as well as the secretary's report
Statistics Grouped
In addition to these are six groups Of
agricultural statistics. on cost data for
| farm production: Imports and exports
of agricultural products. Statistics Of
grain crops; Statistics on crops other
than grain; Livestock; Miscellaneous
agricultural statistics: and a Summary
of American agriculture.
The first part of the book is given
over to Secretary Wallace's report in
which he sets forth the adverse condi
tions effecting agriculture at the pres.
ent time and the effects this is having
on industry.
Attention is called to the importance
OF the economies of agriculture and TO
the organization of the bureau of aeri-
cultural economies in which all the
forces Of the department engaged in
agricultural economic work have been
consolidated
World Wide Condition
In conclusion the report says THE
troubles by which the farmer is sur
rounded are not of his own making. IN
"a large measure they are due to a world
wide condition over which the secretary
had no control and the inevitable result
of the world war" the report further
says that it is not TO be expected that
some miracle will transform this con.
dition over in night. but there is
every reason to believe that better
times are ahead for the farmer.
Nearly 100 pages Of this book discuss.
the beef supply. and presents brief.
ly but fully, the more important factors
which have effected the beef cattle in.
dustry during the last few years.
In the pages devoted to corn this crop
is considered from the standpoint
of its benefit as a crop to the farmer,
and the principal things that have
worked together TO make the crop the
profitable one that 1t is today
The report on corn states that il is
the most important one in the farming
industry and now provides more sus-
tenance than anything else that grows
on the farm.
Cotton Principal Crop
The cotton crop is discussed as the
greatest commercial crop in the United
States, the corn crop exceeds II in to.

er than any Of the races or peoples
with whom they have come in con-

Often seriously hindered in their
numerical progress. frequently
herded worse than cattle In the
foul quarters of the Ghetto, yet the
Jews have survived. and today are
more numerous than at any time
in their extraordinary social and
economic history.
The superior longevity OF the
Jews is attested by every admis-

The same results are disclosed in

LENGTH OF LIFE SPAN.
THE term Jews for the pres
ent purpose Is used in the gener'
ally accepted sense. The Jews
are not a race, but a people, and
many of its members no longer
can claim purity of type, or free
dom from alien adnixture.
1t is, however. chiefly the rela-
lively pure type of orthodox Jews

be asserted that the lifespan Of the
Jews decreases in length with in
creasing departure from the simple
principles of the orthodox faith
and in conformity to the tradi.

Israel.
For IL the Jews are not a race,

The root difference which sep.

within very recent years become
general among non-Jewish people.
But even today only a beginning
has been made in the development
of rational methods Of nourishing
the human body by food adapted
to the human economy.
The Jews. long before other
people, had realized the insult
ability Of many substances which
are consumed even at the present
time by non-Jews, and unquestion.
ably do much harm.
Longevity and progress or civili.
zation go together. A long life is
prerequisite for the attainment Of
the things that count. individually
and collectively. in national life.
The history Of the Jews from
ancient to modern times is an
extraordinary record of great
achievement, but the laws Of Moses
still rank as the foremost product
of the human brain.
The sanitary code Of the Pen
tateuch but re-emphasizes the creed
of Judaism that the minute regu.
lation Of daily life is a religious
duty.
The whole Of II may be summed
up in the command, Keep clean"
and in this sense cleanliness un.
questionably ranks next to godli.
ness.
The Jewish code OF sanitar,
morals gives a clearly defined out
line of right living. II prohibits i'm.
proper food in specific terms and
contact with unclean persons and
unclean things.
The command Is unmistakable

A DRAMATIC DIVORCE.
Along about that time, Fred
Gresham. who had been divorced
by Lillian, objected to the manner
in which the decree had been OBJ
tained and entered suit charging
collusion. He asserted that the
entire thing had been framed and
that in the framing. he had been
double crossed.
AS he told 1t. Miss Lorraine de-
sired the divorce and he agreed to
present her with the luxury by
default providing she would re.
turn to him a certain piece OF
jewelry which he had given her in
an outburst Of emotion. and pro-
vided, also, that she would not
seek alimony.
He said that, under the super
vision Of Lillian's lawyer, he al
lowed himself to be raided In the
Brotzell Hotel with young
woman, and then the promises
about the jewelry and the alimony
were not kept.
But, in the final trial. the legality

DEATH CAUSES COMPARED.

DEATH CAUSES COMPARED.
When the mortality Of the Jews
IL subjected to critical analysis an
astonishing contrast Is presented
in a comparison Of the death rates
with those Of other types Of man
kind.
The Jew Is less subject to many
infections. less to tuberculosis,
less, as a rule, to malignant dis.
eases. but somewhat more subject
to nervous diseases. to insanity,
and considerably so to diabetes
The infant mortality of Jews is.
as a rule. surprisingly low even in
the worst of slum areas, while the
birth rate is generally much
higher than the rates prevailing
among non-Jews.
Old age is extremely common,
and here again the worst possible
conditions of life and habitual un.
der-nourishment, with often vile
surroundings, seem to be without
a seriously detrimental effect on
exceptional longevity.
Why this is so has always been
question Of profound specula.
ton, but thus far no sufficiently
thorough investigation has been
made to permit Of complete
answer.
DIETARY LAWS MORAL CODE.
The Jewish dietary laws are
really a code of morals in mat.
ters Of personal hygiene. They
touch upon most Of the essen.
tials which affect the individ.
ual's predisposition or liability to
diseases generally considered pre-.
ventable in the light OF modern
medical and sanitary research.
The fundamentals of this code
have been set forth with admirable
ciearness by DIR. N. z. Aronstanl,
from whose monograph on the
subject most Of the following OBJ.
