True to Republican training. Philadelphia has be-

ed. Money is an important consideration TO national
committees, but even II Philadelphia failed to offer a
penny the suggestion wsxld be commanding. II is the
ideal spot. It's claims are irrefutable. No need to add

Commerce that lit il a political no-man's land" If
the Philadelphians wish to revise their description.
they might decide to call Pennsylvania "a political
one-man's land"
IL the convention goes TO Philadelphia, the atmos-

platform there will be oil paintings, draped in flags,

On the platform, as temporary chairman, there will

can repeat in his address his frank remarks Of the
other day that he is opposed 70 primaries instead Of con-
ventions because they cost too much. Who should
know better, except Mr.. Mellon and Governor Pinchot?
As permanent chairman, the ideal choice would be
Senator Smoot, with several hours OF comment on the
taxation problem. TO which the galleries would un-
questionably listen with rapt attention. Between ses-
sions the new Mayor, Mr.. Mackey, can danee-and who
except Jimmy Walker can do it better?-with the lady

publicans are the best people, in and out Of Phila-
delphia, an excursion can be organized to the house
where Mrs. Bingham gave dinner parties to which she
would not invite that low demagogue, Thomas Jeffer-
son.
Not often does even a Chamber Of Commerce have
so fine an idea as taking the Republican convention to
Philadelphia. 1t did not need the fused support Of
Pepper, Ware, Reed, Kendrick, Fischer and W. L. Mel

love to watch the statesmen dragging customers
into the Sixth avenue fur stores. They stand outside
on the walks, wearing long white cotton coats over
their business suits. Sharp-featured men. with sudden
accents.
A woman comes along, in no great hurry. She is
gazing into windows. The fur salesman watches her
narrowly. He observes that she doesn't seem quite At
home. Maybe she is a stranger in New York, looking
for bargains.
The prospect pauses a moment in front Of the
fur store, TO glance into the window. chock-full Of
coats bearing enormous price tags and lurid announce
ments that these are the lowest prices in town, and
that customers must beware Of slickers in other stores.
In a triee the salesman is beside the woman, ges-

Crop reports are essential to sterilization Of mar
ket conditions. and the L. S. Department Of Agricul-
furc Is endeayoring to secure national cooperation
from the farmers in furnishing information desired b.
The department relative to crop conditions and possible
yields. The department is mailing questionnaires TO
100000 farmers over the United States for this pur-
pose. The reports to be issued include those relating
20 the acreage Of crops for next years harvest, prices
paid to farmers for farm products, wages Of farm la
Dor, and the annual summary Of acreage, production
and farm value Of cotton, cora, wheat and other crops.
Secretary Jardine says farmers cooperating in this
work render Indispensable service in making reports
which the law requires him to issue, and provide them
selves with information necessary to the proper con-
duet Of their business. Farmers now, more than ever
before, he said, appreciate and understand the forces
that determine value. This has brought an increased
demand for authentic information which will enable
farmers to exercise intelligent foresight in their farm
business, and place them on an equal footing with buy
ers 50 far as a knowledge Of the whole supply situa-
tion is concerned.
Almost all private reporters, realizing that serious
consequences may result from errors, use the govern
nent acreage report as the basis Of their estimates as
they do not have the resources or facilities for gather
Ing information about planted acreage, the most diff
fcult and technical Of all crop reporting problems
This further emphasizes the necessity Of employing
every possible means OF checking the departments own
estimates. If the department did nothing in crop re
porting other than estimating acreage it would be rem
dering valuable service.
Secretary Jardine pointed out that although some

selling interests. and the large brokerage establish
ments. Their reports are for the private information
of their clients and do not become public until those
clients have first had the benefit Of the information.
The Government reports are carefully guarded until
the time of their issuance set months in advance. and
are published for the information of everyone inter
ested in the agricultural industry.
