HUGE INCREASE in
FARM CROP VALUES
Will Be Worth Over Billion
More Than Last Year,
Report States.

Washington.-This years important
farm crops will be worth approximate
" 1880, 100000 more than their value
last year Production forecasts an
nounced Friday by the department OF
agriculture indicate this years impor-
tant crops will aggregate approximate
ly $6,600. .000, 900, calculating their value
on September 1 farm prices. Three
crops-corn, cotton and hay-will ex-
ceed q billion dollars each in value.
their aggregate comprising more than
one-half of the value OF all the I'M
portant crops. August growing condi-
tions we're especially detrimental to
the bumper corn crop and to the cot
ton crop. Corn suffered loss during
August of 142, 100000 bushels, worth
at September l prices $S9,000,000. The
government forecast Friday placed
the prospective production at 1885,
100000 bushels. Cotton had an almost
equally bad August, an earlier report
showing prospective production de-
creased S74,OOO bales during the
month. That amount of cotton at Sep
tember 1 prices would have been worth
$S8,150,000.
Present indications are that practi-
cally all of this years crop will be
worth more than last year, with the
exception of wheat, rye and peanuts.
Corn will be worth approximately
s496, 100000 more; cotton, 1888, 100000;
oats, $S3,O0O,00O; apples, $64,OO0,0OO;
hay (tame), $47,OOO,OOO, and peaches,
$36,OOO,O0O
This years indicated crop will have
a value calculated unofficially and
based on September l farm prices as
follows:
Wheat, $72O,6OO,0OO; corn, $780,
100000; oats, S404, 100000; barley, $685.
100000; buckwheat, $11,60O,oOO; rye,
$5O,3O0,OOO; potatoes, 1886 100000;
sweet potatoes, 16,2O0,OOO; cotton
exclusive of seed, $1,064 ,4OO, 900; ap-
pies, 1927 100000; peaches, $SS,10O,-
900; peanuts, $3O,4OO,0OO; flax seed,
$22,1OO,0OO, and beans, $49,6OO,O00.
The value of the tobacco. rice and
cotton seed crops is expected to ex
ceed their last years value.
Nebraska suffered heaviest in the
loss in corn during August, the pro-
duction forecast indicating 38,000,000
bushels less than a month ago. Other
important producing states showed the
following reductions: South Dakota,
100000 bushels; Kansas, 20.0O0,0O0;
Iowa, 18,0O0,0O0; Kentucky, 14,00O,OO0;

FOUGHT IN THE WAR OF 1872
Graves of 218 Americans, Enemies Of
England, Decorated at Princeton
for First Time.

A half century after the origination
of memorial, or decoration day, on
which tribute is paid to those who
have died in the nations wars, the
graves Of 21S Americans who fought
in the War Of 1872 were decorated for
the first time last Memorial day.
At Princeton, England, there are the
graves of 21S Americans who died
while held prisoners of war in Dart
moor prison. The parish church in
the little village of Princeton was built
by the labor of these and number Of
French prisoners.
For many years the sod which COW
cred the remains of these sons Of
America was unmarked. Finally one
of the governors Of the prison had a
cairn and a monument erected to mark
the resting place Of Englands worthy
enemies. Their graves, however, had
never been decorated in the manner In
which the graves Of other American
heroes are decorated until the London
post of the American Legion placed a
large wreath over their resting place
on last Memorial day.

equipment has an important place In
the success and profitable operation
of the country's railroads.

SENATE ORDERS INVESTIGATION
INTO MARKETING OF COTTON

Washington.-A broad investigation
by the senate agriculture committee
into the methods and practices employ
ed in the marketing of cotton was or
dered by the senate Friday in the adop-
ton of the resolution by Senator
Smith, democrat, South Carolina
which seeks to determine whether
there is interference with the law of
supply and demand in the cotton mar
ket.
1t is claimed in preambles to the
resolution that the combination of the
carry-over and the estimated produc-
tion for this year will not be sufficient
to meet the world demand and that
quotations fail utterly to respond to
these conditions. 1t is further stated
that cotton consumption both here and
abroad has increased, but there has
been no corresponding increase in rev.
enue to the producer, a condition
which, 1t is alleged, threatens to dam.
age the industry seriously.

operating gasoline-driven equipment
on railroads in place OF steam trains,
and especially on short runs. is indi-
Gated by the satisfactory use OF mot
or cars on the New Orleans and Low
er Coast railroad, between Algiers
and Burns, since November, 1920.
Formerly a steam train was operat-
ed between the two points at loss,
and during the war the continuance
of losses was so apparent that the
morning train was discontinued. Lat
er the service was established with
gasoline-driven equipment.
A chassis was purchased and spe-
cial body with a capacity for thirty
passengers was made in the railroad
shops. The car was installed No
vember 8, 1920, and since that time
has made one round trip daily, ex-
cept Sundays. The car averages
speed of thirty-five miles an hour,
including stops, and the round trip
is made in less than four hours.
An average cost of about Is cents
per mile is necessary to operate the
repairs, replacement parts, salaries
Of motorman and conductor, insur-
ance, etc. The cost OF operating the
train consisting Of steam locomotive
and two coaches over the same run
Is 41.8 cents per mile. This cost is
computed on the same basis as the
cost Of operating the motor car.
Neither of thees figures includes the
nght-of-way maintenance cost, but it
is plain the locomotive with two
heavy coaches would do more dam
age to the right-of-way than the motor
car, which weighs only about six and
one-Quarter tons. In other words, the
motor car saves 26.S cents per mile
and II the rightof-way maintenance
costs were included In each Of these
figures the saving probably would be
considerably more. Figuring on
302-day year with 120 miles of travel
to the credit Of the motor car each
day, the saving through the use of
motor equipment mounts into thous-
ands of dollars yearly.
Since the Inauguration of motor car
service on this run the patronage Of
the line has increased to such an ex.
tent that an addition to the equip
ment has become necessary. However,
instead Of going back to the use of
steam trani, the officials of the road
purchased trailer chassis and have
built a body for it. BY changing
their seating arrangements in the
motor car, the two-car train now seats
fiftytwo passengers, it Also has
baggage and mail compartment and
toilet. With this addition to the
equipment the comfort Of the pass
engers Is increased.
1t Is believed the additional car
will not make 1t necessary to increase
the running time between Algiers and
Buras, nor will 1t increase the cost
per mile noticeably.
In operating its motor equipment,
the New Orleans and Lower Coast
railroad has adopted the policy Of
having a man spend short time each
night going over the equipment after
1t has been placed in the shed and
