WHY THE FARMER IS AN IMPORTANT MAN = Corn is King in the United States if we:may . judgel from the 'value of the cropsraised. In"1919, according to the 1920 census, the corn crop,of the United States was valued at over i three- and. one-half billion dollars. Hay and forage came sec- ond, at over two and a half . billion dollars; cotton -and cotton _seed"occupied third place, at two billion! three. hundred and fifty-five, million dollars; wheat followed, with a crop valued at ‘a little over two billion dollars. Oats, potatoes, tobacco, apples, ‘barley and rye follow in the order named. « " Summing up all the crops, it' may be’easily understood why ['the farmer is such an important factor in the nation. 2000 ere” organized by American ex-serv- ice men in ‘foreign’ countries and to- day the sun never:sets on' the Awmer- fcan Leglon.

In line: with movements launched by automobile clubs ‘and .assoclations, state highway departments, the Ameri- can Leglon, the American Forestry assoclation, and various good roads organizations, the Department of Agri- culture is urging the planting of black walnit trees along the highways. The late war drew heavily upon the)black walnut timber supply for afrplane con- struction but it ended befoye the lakger-trees entirely disappeared.
