CROP VALUES.

Political Polyannas are widely
advertising the fact that the crops
of the country, as reported by the
Department OF Agriculture, are
worth 1852, 800, 900, and that this
sum is 1,842,978,0O0 more than
last years figure. If they expect the
farmer TO be satisfied with his array
Of cold statistics. arraycd against
his own experience in making Il
living or failing TO do SO. they are
sadly mistaken. And a politician
mistaken in farm psychology is an
unsafe guide.
No one would think Of compar-
ing present crop values with those
Of 1919, when the worlds war hun
ger WAS unappcascd and the farm
err: product /. ought nearly double
the present figure. But ConServa-
Five comparison with the first thir-
teen years of the century will re-
veal legitimate ground for dissatiS-
faction. In 1909, for instance, when
both the population Of the United
STATES and the prices current gov
rrnina expenditures were Il far diff
rcrcnt matter, tlictotal census value
of crops was already SJ,iS1 900. 900
No >tati>lician will deny that the

rather than AGGRESSION. This is the
first time in I'LL those years that the
Democrats have come forward with
q constructive and progressive leg

Particularly should the people Of
West Virginia be deeply Interested
in policy of taxation meeting with
the approval and sanction Of the
pcmorl attic Legislators. 1t WAS III.

ed members The conference that
they had been elected rs Il protest
against the excessive taxes imposed
+ by the preceding Legislature. They
have already mad" courageous
start toward the fulilImcnt of thc
confidence imposed in them by the
Democrats and Republicans who
voted for their election.
! They wisely took a stand favor
ing the enactment Of a depletion tax
on coal, oil and gas, and the repeal
OF the obnoxious sales tax. They
also propose 10 guard against cN-

This program should commend it,

| An effort was made at the last
Legislature. and nj many previous
legislatures. for the enactment Of
like legislation. but never witt sue

credit for any Of the Democratic
thunder, il is only fair to state that
The announced taxation policy of the
Democrats is similar to that which

As to Senator Nicely, it may be truth
fully said that he has given thr De-

Many of the farmers in these Sec

CROP RANKS THIRD.

Federal report tells that the tomato
crop is third in value Of the vegetable
crops in this country" 1t also tells
US what most Of US know. that "a large
portion of tho crop is canned or made
into soups and puree." It also tells
us what few Of US know, that 'fin
the United States from 100000 to 3o0,-
900 acres are devoted to the crop an
nually for canning and manufacturing
purposes and the yield is about 1,000,-
900 tons per ahnum." And these fig
tres do not take count Of the tomato
patch which almost everybody in the
country, nearly everybody in the sub
urbs and many men in the city set out.
The tomato like the potato and the
sweet potato, and other good things, is
South American in origin. It is re-
lated to the white or Irish potato,
and both are members of the deadly
family. Bslladonna and
other drugs are obtained from members
of that family. It was because OF this
to deadly nightshade that
the tomato was believed to be poisonous
An immense amount of experimental
ton has been given to the tomato plant
for the purpose Of improving tts bear
ing capacity and the size, shape, flavor
and solidity Of the fruit.
