farm production outlook has
seldom been surpassed.
The condition of all crops on
July / was the best in seven
years except for 1912. The COM
bined acreage of ell crops has
been exceeded since 1882 only
in the past three years. Furth-
or, the indicated yields per
acre of most crops are above
average.
Bumper Grain Crop
Perhaps the brightest part OF
the report was the for cast for
grain, for supplies have been
reduced to dangerously low
levels by exports to hungry
areas and by heavy feeding to
livestock.
The department said the pro-
duction of feed grains may be the
largest on record. Should final
production turn out as now indi-
Gated, production Of livestock pro-
ducts could be maintained near
last years levels through 1947.
The corr crop was forecast at
3,341, 646, 900 bushels, com p a r
with the previous record Of 3,228,-
DOC, 900 (cq) in 1914. Last years
crop was 3,018, 40, 600 and produc-
ton for the 10-year l9354D aver
age was 2,6o8, 4s9. 900.
Wheat Production Up
The wheat crop was indicated at
1000, 092, 900 bushels, CON p a d
with 1888, 900, 900 forecast in mid
June. a record of 1923, 143, 900 pro-
duced last year, and a 1o-year
average of S43, 692, 900. Despite
the bumper crop, wheat will be
insufficient to meet both unre-
stricted domestic demands and
foreign commitments for the year
ahead.
The outlook for other crops in
cluded:
Rye production may be the
smallest since the drought of the
sos. Oats-vital as livestock feed
was indicated at a near record
of 1,471, O26, 900 bushels. Barley
was indicated to be the smallest
since 1897.
Hay is below the level of the
past four years, but the carry
over of old hay is large.
Oil Seed Crops Low
One of the least favorable parts
Of the report was a forecast that
production of oil seed crops-soy
beans. peanuts and flax seed-will
be below high wartime level. The
oil seeds provide materials fol
margarine. shortening, salad oils
and paints. Supplies of food fats
and oils are now far short Of
domestic demands.
Large citrus and most other
fruit crops were forecast.
Production Of dry beans ano
sweet potatoes will be below aver
age.
The report said production Of

at near record levels.
The aggregate acreage Of S;
principal crops On July l, was in
dictated at nearly 346, 900, 600 acres
about 700, 600 less than last year.
Favorable Weather
The department. said many fac
tors, in addition to favorabl,
weather, have affected 1915 pros

farmers to use labor and machine

Bluffton College Fast Basketball
Crew JOlts Foes In Two Games

One of the best Bluffton college
fives in many year served notice
last week that it will not be a setup
for even its most power-laden foes
by topping Wilmington, 65 to Sc,
and surprising Bowling Green be-
fore going down to defeat, 81 to 45.
The loss to Bowling Green was in
tn season-opener at that place last
Wednesday, then the Beavers ap-
peared at home for the first time
Friday night by besting Wilmington
in game that was a thriller all
the way.
Fans rarely are treated to a per-
formance such as that put on by the
Beavers and the Quakers, and the
"hot shots" of both outfits were at
their best in game that found the
lead changing hands 10 times and
the score being tied on IL occasions.
1t was a "dog-eat-dog" affair all
thru the first quarter, altho Bluffton
was out in front at its end, 10 to Is,
and the same sort of play marked
the second period, but Wilmington
had reversed the tables to lead at
halftime, 20 to 25.
Then at the outset of the third
period Bluffton went out in front
81 to 80, tallying six points while
giving the visitors one, following
which the score was tied five times,
the lead changed hands six times,
and the end of the quarter found
the two crews in a 45-45 deadlock.
The withering pace continued into
the fourth quarter, but Wilmington's
last threat came about midway
when the visitors took a 55 to So
lead.
From that point, however, it was
all Bluffton, for the Quakers tailed
only one point the remainder of the
distance while the Burckymen went
on to score 13 points in whirlwind
finish.

Bluffton High Racks Up Fifth In

Continuing at better than a point
| a-minute season record Bluffton
High cagers romped to their fifth
consecutive win last Friday night by
troucing Ada at that place, 65 to 81.
Bluffton cagers had everything
their own way during the first
quarter in which they held the Bull
dogs to three points while they were
garnering eight fielders and a char
ity toss. This gave the Pirates a
IL to 3 edge going into the second
quarter.
Ada's best offensive play of the
evening was in the second stanza,
but Buttons attack continued to
function in high gear and the local
crew left the floor at halftime with
"a 80 to IL lead.
Third period play found the Pi-
rates again assuming control in
commanding fashion, adding IL more
points while Ada got nine. At the
close of the stanza Buttons lead
was AT to 81.
Bluffton's customary last-quarter
squirt again paid dividends as the
Cotterman-coached outfit racked up
10 points to run their total to 65,
which incidentally is the teams low
