An increase of 100000 bushels in

pect, features the September culti-
waited crop report of Joseph A. Beck
Ell, of the Wisconsin Cooperative Crop

The Wisconsin honey crop to Sept
enlber l is estimated by Joseph A
Becker Of the Wisconsin Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service at 1911 pounds
per colony as compared to 35.7 pounds
produced TO July l. The production
of surplus honey during the summer
months, amounting to 1874 pounds pei
colony, was much below the expecta-
tons. With an everage fall produc-
ton, total production for the year
will average 55.1 pounds as compared
to APP pounds in 1921, 652 pounds in
1920, and 53.7 in 1919.

timated at 6,281, 900 pounds as com

Never In the history OF the Depart

has under investigation more than so
cases OF alleged violations of the An
THRUST Act and has pending in the
courts &c such cases Since March
4, 1921, the Attorney Generals Of
fee has won 100 cases in the United
States Supreme Court and lost Al. In
that time it has tried 1876 suits in
the various United States Courts and
| won ITO. The department has been
very successful in defending the gov
eminent in the United States Court
of Claims where litigation has greatly
! increased as result of war con-
tracts and tax cases. Twenty suits
were decided in this court on June
| IL, in which the Attorney Generals
department appeared for the govern
ment. In these 20 cases the govern
ment sued for the aggregate of s16,-

the more important activities of the
! Department of Justice since March 4,

/ has been performed and every branch
OF the judicial service is character
ICED by energy, intelligence and dis

ney General Daugherty and President

81 percent year ago, and 10-year
average of 891 percent.
Rainfall was generally deficient in
the cabbage sections and the crop
prospect was reduced from $4,000
tons to $4,000 tons. This compares
with last years production of $1,000
tons and 5-year average of $4,000
tons. Condition on September l was
SO percent, compared to 95 percent
on August l, 81 percent a year ago,
and 1O-year average of $40 percent.
The onion crop is forecasted at
407, 900 bushels, compared to 100000
produced last year, and 5-year ave-
rage of $4,000 bushels. Condition
on September l was 90 percent, COM
pared to ga percent on August l, so

erage of SO percent.
Returns from representative cram
berry growers indicate that this
years crop will be about $4,000 bar
rels as against $4,000 last year.
Area of clover intended for seed is
estimated to 25 percent larger than
last year. The area in the principal
clover seed section (from Calumet to
Washington Countless shows a small
er acreage. Other sections of the
state, however, show very large in
creases. Acreage is estimated at
154, 900 as compared to $4,000 last
year and 5-year average of 10000

The activities and accomplishments
of the Department of Justice during
the past Is months comprise the most
successful record that department has
made since its establishment. The
largest amount of business in the his
tory of that department has been
transacted for the current year on
less money than was appropriated for
the preceding year.
Ayeritable avalanche of business was
clogging the dockets in nearly every
United States District Court and new
cases being entered in unprecedented
numbers when Attorney General
Daugherty took charge Of the Depart
ment OF Justice March 4, 1921. He
found the department disorganized.
1t was necessary to make survey not
only of his own force but Of the varf-
Gus cases pending in the several Unit
ed States Courts throughout the coun-
try. This gigantic task was aeon
plished with thoroughness and dis
patch.
Early in his incumbency Attorney
General Daugherty began an investiga-
ton of the so-called War Fraud cases.
After he mad thoroughly surveyed the
situation and he and his staff were
ready to proceed he asked for an ap-
preparation of half million dollars to
enable him to employ additional and
competent special attorneys to con-
duct the actual work of grand jury In
vestigation and prosecution. The men
whom he selected for this task are
skilled lawyers: Former Senator
Charles S. Thomas, OF Colorado, a
Democrat who was conspicuous in the
Senate investigation of the aircraft
scandal; former Congressman c. F
Reavis, of Nebraska, who was me n
Der of the House Committe which In
vestigated the expenditures of the
War Department; former Congress
man r. D. MacCullough, OF Ohio, also
a member of that Committee, and Mr.
Meier Steinbrink, OF New York, who
assisted Charles e. Hughes in the
famous aircraft inquiry of 1918, and
who was also employed as Special
Counsel for the House Committee on
investigating war expenditures. 1t is

IF THE Big

Some Possibilities Pointed Out Rela

Coal For United States, Grain Could
Be Shipped, Other Aids
Outlined.
BY CHAS. P. CRAIG

IF the ST. Lawrence were open
now" they are saying in Canada
The Canadians don't know where
they are going to get their coal this
winter. They will get it somehow,
but the outlook at this moment is
not attractive. For Canada's coal sup
ply is drawn from the United States,
and if the United States will have
scarcely enough to go around, the
Canadian supply will be still more

precarious. Canada has all kinds Of
coal, down near the mouth of the ST.
Lawrence, and if the river above Mon
treal would accommodate Golfers like
those on the lakes, Canada's coal
problem this winter would be solved.
By the same token, the territory
served by the lakes on this side of
the line would be greatly relieved if
the way were open to bring in coal
from Canada's maritime provinces.
The Crop Movement.
eff the st. Lawrence were open now
- Farmers and shippers of grain and
railroad men too, are wondering what
sort of a transportation mess we shall
be in when the heavy crop movement
sets in. AS long ago as last spring
shipping associations were warning
their members that it would be as
much as ever the railroads were able
to handle their business this fall In
fact, for almost year railroad ex-
ecutives, vice-presidents McCrae and
Lee of the Pennsylvania and others,
have been sounding the warning, and
that was before the railroads had
had the setback of a strike. Under
the best conditions, the railroads
would have been hard put to it to
move the crops this fall and keep
other traffic rolling. With the added
griefs, the country will be in serious
difficulties, and the situation is right
upon us.
If the st. Lawrence route were open
SO that vessels could pick up their
load at the head of the lakes for
delivery at the ocean ports on our
own sea board, or across the water,
the difficulty of the seasonal move
ment would be reduced one-half and
more. New England can handle New
England traffic. The West can handle
western traffic. And so for all parts
of the country. 1t is when the west
ern load piles up on top of the local
traffic at eastern terminals that the
transportation system chokes. Cars
stop moving and there are no cars
for any shipper. Like any other ma
chine, when the railroads are over
worked they don't work at all.
A National Aid.
The st. Lawrence will not be open
in time to help this seasons Difficult
ties. 1t won't be open to ships next
year, nor for five years to come, at
best. It would save its cost in this
one year of 1922 if it were open to-
day. It would have saved its cost
in the one year of 1920, if it were open
then. 1t will, as soon as it's open,
save its cost over and over. The
West wants the way to the sea.
But it is not the need of the West
alone. The whole country needs it.
Whether it is shortage of fuel or,
blockade of merchandise or embargo |
on perishables or congestion of rail
way lines, there is one central diff |
ficulty which is the key to it all
The prosperitysof the United States |
depends upon the speed with which
a national transportation system can
be created. In that national trans
portatlon system waterways must
have their place. Among waterway
projects, the opening of the Great
Lakes to ocean going commerce Is
We need it now. Be-
fore 1t can be accomplished we shall
desperately need it.
