Secretary of Agriculture Houston, in his annual report, summarizes the output and effort of American farms 1 these figures: 1918 wheat yield, 5,638,000,000 bushels. 1918 corn yield, 918,920,000 bushels. Acreage in 1917 planted to wheat, corn, potatoes, to- bacco and cotton, 283,000,000; acre same crops, 289,000,000. Gain, 5,600,000 acres. “The part the millions of men, women and boys and girls on the farms and in the organized agricultural agen- cies assisting them, including the federal departme nt of agriculture, the state colleges and departments of agricul- ture and farmers’ organizations played during the war in ¢ sustaining this nation and those with which we are asso- ciated,” remarks Mr. Houston, “is striking, but altogether too little known and appreciated. “On them rested the responsibilily for maintaining and " increasing food production and for assisting in securing fuller conservation of food and foodstuffs.” Yes, and the farmer’s wife went out into the fields after doing up her housework and plowed, harrowed and planted and cultivated beside her husband so the boy could go to war and so there'd be more busy acre: and more food for everybody in America and Europe. And her daughter pitched hay and rode on the rake and the binder and the cultivator and the wagon in the hot sun for the same reasons. And the country and the world is fed and grateful. Some day somebody is going to write the story of how the farmers’ wives stood in the muddy furrows in the fields to help the world to freedom, and it’s going to be the story of many Molly Pitchers in one and it'll be a best-seller, too. Shall We All Take Tea? Tea-drinking is on the increase in these United States. This statement is made on the authority of the Na- tional City Bank of New York, which has collected statistics rove it. ’ eaves in’-1899--we imported -115,000;600° pounds ~ of? tea, in 1918 we imported 151,000,000 pounds. Why? The same authority gives the answer: Pro hibition! ‘ ee These facts are called to the attention of grape juice and “soft-drink” devotees. And to the alarmists who see) visions of world epidemics of drug addictions. Shall we have tea~saloons? Will they be a substitute for liquor saloons? _ Is tea’s increasing popularity due to its stimulating, exhilarating effects? | Will not coffee consumption jump, too? ge in 1918 planted to in being 7 Set House THE SHATTLE STAR4-MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1918.
