New England Crop
Reporting Service

Wakefield, Mass, March ~, -
Farmers, in planning current crop
acreages, have mostly looked for
guidance to prices they received for
for crops of the previous year. Re-
ports from fifty thousand farmers
over the country show that this is
their main dependence in plans for
1925 acreages which apparently will
be increased in many cases above
last years figures.
In late years more persons in other
business, and more farmers too, are
making their plans not so much up
on prices received for goods or crops
already produced as upon prospec-
tive prices for what they expect to
produce. This method tends to
stabilize production and bring it in
to proper balance with demand. 1t
helps to avoid both excess produc-
ton and waste and also deficient
supplies. All business is more sue
cessful and prosperous when produce
ton in the different commodities and
crops is balanced with demand.
For New England dairymen the
more important phases of intended
acreages Of crops for the country are
the expected increases over last year
Of 149o in spring wheat; 1880 in
corn; $500 in oats; and 1890 in
barley. If these plans go through
and yields are average or better
prices for feeds that New England
farmers must buy should be lower
than at present because the country
has fewer hogs, cattle and horses to
feed.
New England farmers are consid-
ering acreage increases Of 4T to
1870 in corn; $50 to 1919 in oats;
large but uncertain increases in
wheat and some increase in other
grains. This Is an effort to reduce
the large expense for feeds bought.
Tame hay acreage generally is likely
to remain about the same as last
year. Low prices the past year for
fluid milk and for young dairy cattle
have caused material reductions in
numbers of neat stock in northern
New England. The present number
of cows is adequate but conditions
have become more favorable for the
raising of more Of the better grade
heifers for use or sale later as milk
cows.

CERACoS THROUGH
As SECRETARY OF
AUGUSTA c. OF c.

James A. Geracos, who for the past
two months and q half has acted as
secretary Of the Augusta Chamber Of
Commerce. has severed his connec-
ton with the organization and Is
now located in Waltham, Mass, ac-
cording to information which the
Journal secured last evening. Mr..
Geracos left this city over two weeks
ago and at that time it was UNDER
stood that he was going to his home
in SacO for a vacation. No word
has been received by the officers of
the Augusta Chamber Of Commerce,
according to a declaration of one of
the directors last night. and they
have been trying to get in touch with
him since he left the city.
A letter received on Tuesday by a
friend here was dated in Boston. In
it Jimmy" as he Is known here,
stated that he expected to go to work
there on Monday although he did not
say what he was doing.
This leaves the Augusta Chamber
Of Commerce without secretary.
What steps will be taken to fill the
vacancy have not been announced
and who will be candidates for the
position Is of course matter for
conjecture. Upon the resignation Of
Secretary Herbert +. Folsom. a large
number of candidates appeared for
the position, and Mrs. Ethel Wade
Lee, who had been the stenographer
at the local chamber. was made Sec
rotary. Because of i'll health she was
forced to resign and Mr.. Geracos
became acting secretary.
What prompted Mr.. Geracos to
leave this city as he did is a mys-
terry according to the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce. He at that
time left his clothing and personal
effects at the house where he was
boarding, and 1t was understood that
he was going to his home in Saco.
The directors were not notified that
he was going but have been en-
deavoring to communicate with him
since that time.
