I am in- clined to think they are all right, like the weather predictions, if they come out all right. It is predicted that the potato crop is going to be nearly twice this year in bullk what it was last year—4ib2,- 000,000 bushels against 28,000,000; and the land devoted to producing Irish potatoes is stated to be 4,384, 000 acres. I do not see how the gov- ernment estimators get at these hope- ful results, do you, so many weeks before the crop is harvested? you travelled through New Eng.nd lately? If you have you have been surprised to see how read- ily the people have responded to Pres- ident Wilson's appeal to have pro- duced in America a world-sustaining crop. Potatoes are being grown by everybody everywhere, and back yards, front lawns, roadsides, land abutting railroad lines and redeemed | swampland are being devoted to the ARMS PLANT ON STRIKE. Employment of Women One of the raising of potatoes in addition to a large increase of acreage made in fa- vor of this vegetable by the regular growers. There is no way to get anything like an accurate estimate of the acre- age devoted to the potato crop. There are millions of little plots being de- voted to the growth of the tubers which will never be included In the estimates. The country was surprised when over ten million men between the ages of 21 to 31, inclusive, registered in defence of the count: and it will be astonished when it discovers that ten million boys between the ages of 12 and 21 and half as many giris, are in the fields lending a bhand to make the harvest as great as it can be made. The girls and boys of New England are hoeing and sprayving the potato patches and the giris are weeding the onion rows, killing the onion fly and enthusiastically doinz their bit to supply food for the nations who are battling, for freedom apd humanity. Following are the government July forecasts The corn crop. which with favorable weather, from now on may equal the bumper vield of 1912, shows an in- crease of 541,000.000 bushels over Jast with @ total of 3,124,000.000 bush- els. 'The total acreaze is 14 per cent. larger than last year. The combined winter and spring wheat crop will®e 32,000,000 bushels more than last vear's, with a totai of 678,000.000 bushels. Barley. with prospects of the third largest crop ever grown. will exceed Jast vear's production bv 23,000,000 , with an output of 214,000,000 promise to exceed last vear's crop 201.000.000 hushels, the total production heing forecast at 1.453.- 000,000 bushels. That is slizhtly un- der ths record. Improvement hetween new and harvest. however, may re- sult in a record crop. White potato production, on a 2 1-2 per cent. be a record increase In acreage, w crop. with 452,000,000 bushels, or 167,000,000 bushels more than last vear, not taking into ac- count the home garden production, which this vear is estimated to be much larger than ever before. Rve, another record crop this vear, will amount to 56,100,000 bushels, or 15,700,000 bushels more than last vear. Sweet notatoes will register a new high total. with 8£2.290.000 bushels, or 11.000,000 bushels more than Jast year. Rice production will be 31,400,000 bushels. the Second largest crop ever produced. Production of tobacco will break another record. with a crop of 1.215.- 000,000 pounds, kwhich is 4,000,000 UNCLE SAM;S OPTIMISTIC FORECASTS pounds more than was grown last year. But with all the appeals and the un- Pprecedented response not one-half the Productive land in New Engiand is in use today. It is only the alien popu- lation who think it a sin to let land g0 to weeds and to waste, and the Ttalians are notable for their ability to make a small plot of fand contribute to the support of the table, and they are a splendid example of industry and thrift wherever they locate, and a £00d example to all their neighbors in gardening upon a small scaie. But we cannot help wondering, when these great crops are harvested, whether the epeculators will continue to fleece the farmers and browbeat and rob the consumers as they have done in the past, or whether the gov- ernment will protect the producers and the consumers and dethrone these ty- rants of trade who are the enemies of every country in which they can con- tinue in unrestricted power. The cry “Down with the Huns” commands our attention and our en- deavor, but no greater victory can be gained, no more praiseworthy achieve- ment accomplished, than the protec- tion of the people from the conspira- tors who mercilessly rob the peopie of this and other nations. The American president who can accomplish.this will Dbe honored and revered as have been ‘Washington, Lincoln and Grant. The tyranny of money in the hands of the upscrupulous must be made an end of as well as the tyranny of monarchs, or there can never be such a thing as an abiding peace. Tyranny in any form begets trouble. Uncle Sam has reason to be proud of his sons and daughters, and they have reason to have faith in him. He is an optimist and a prophet, and whi'e we smile at his venturesome spirit in the field of agriculture, we believe he has not been guilty of exaggerations but that the actual reports will by far exceed all he is capable of predicting. When America moves to do a thing from a sense of patriotic duty she is likely to attain high water mark and establisn a new record in all crops for the year. Tn our anxiety to'feed the allies we must see that the American farmer gets his just dues and the American people the protection from marauding capital which they are entitled to. A SUBSTITUTE.
