AVERAGE YEAR
FOR FARMS. OF
NATION LIKELY
Government Experts De-
clare Corn Crop Shortest
in Many Years..
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The
Scriptural adage, ITO him that hath
shall be given" sums up fairly &C
curately the farm situation this
year, which was described today by
the Agriculture Department as
average"
While it is not a banner year,
short crops in several commodities
corn, cotton, oats and most fruit
will result in good money for those
farmers who have them. On the
other hand, farmers who have had
bad luck with these crops; will have
a poor year. All these crops have
suffered this year.
Potato Yield Heavy
For the exception, the potato crop
is large this year, and potato prices
accordingly will not be high.
Outside of these "spotty" situa-
tons, the outlook is for a fair year.
The wheat crop is good, and wheat
farmers will get good prices. The
outlook for cattle, generally, is
promising and the general level of
prices next year may possibly be
higher.
Sheep and hogs are about the
same this year as last, but the sheep
market is on a gradual decline due
to large production for the last few
years, and the Agriculture Depart
ment suggests caution as to further
expansion.
Corn Crop Short
The corn crop this year, accord
ing to present estimates, will be the
shortest, with one exception, in
twenty-six years, and prices now are
about 80 per cent higher than last
year. Because of the poor corn and
oats crops this year, farmers tend
to plant more winter wheat, and the
Agricultural Department has issued
a warning against this, fearing a
huge crop with low prices. This
would mean large surplus, calling
for extra marketing methods, some
Of the plans for which have been
opposed by the administration as
unSound.
Generally, the department con-
siders crop prospects excellent in
the North Dakota, Montana, Ne
braska, Idaho and Oregon, where
agitation for government aid has re-
ceived considerable support. 1t sees
a. fairly good outlook for most other
States, with the exception of four
middle Western States, Indiana, IL
llnois, Iowa and Missouri; Kentucky,
tennessee and Arkansas, which suf-
Tered from wet weather early in the
season, and Florida and New Mexico,
where droughts have been damag-
ing.

Women have always turned to them
for loneliness! When archaeologists
opened the tomb Of Queen Taia of
Egypt who reigned 1900 B. C.-even
before Tut-Ankh-Amen! they found
just such graceful triaes. Necklaces
and rings of gold, silver and bronze

personal things.
A soap made from precious essences
of the worlds finest ls-the pure,
aristocratically hard, perfect soap that
the beauty-loving modern girl re-
quires! A soap made subtly fine to
meet the craving for luxury natural
to every woman, no matter what her
