PERRYSBURG
Many thousands of America's
loyal, -well-meaning and worthy
citizens do not quite understand
tho reason for these: liberty loans.
All their lives they have regarded
the United Slates as tho richest,
the most prosperous and greatest
nation on earth. To them it has
been a land of peace 'and plenty,
"the home of the free and tho
land of the brave." In a word,
"God's country."
And now that a war has come
eight or ten thousand miles away,
it seems inconceivable that it
should be necessary for a nation
of such boundless resources to bo
asking its citizenry without regard
to wealth oistation to contribute
to the support of the armies it
must send far afield.
America, like its people has been
profligate of its riches. Probably
the less said of th.e past extrava
gance of national government, the
better. You arc largely respon
aible, for you have seen the acts of
your representatives at Washing
ton without protest.
But the fact is that of the trifle
more than a billion dollars of rev
enues annually, nothing hns been
naved. No surplus has accumu
lated in the treasury. And the
rainy day has come for the nation
as it comes for its individuals.
Now we need 20,000,000 for this
first year of war. It will go for
the equipping oL tho navy and the
arming of land forces; for muni
tions of war and big and little
guns; for army and navy pay; for
the purchase and forwarding of
the tremendous food supplies nec
essary for the army support, and
for army insurance to support
stricken families.
Meantime our normal sources of
revenue arc interrupted and our
expense of government increased.
We must have about $19,500,000,
000 more ready cash this year
than last.
Both Pcrrysburg banks will
supply the bonds without charge
for their services.

The area on all crops herein re
ported is taken from the assessors'
returns on estimated acres for the
harvest of 1917.
Each week, for a number of
weeks previous to the harvest,
wheat conditions gradually im
proved, and when the machines
were placed m the fields, the very
general report was that the grain
was yielding better than expected,
and this fact is now borne out by
the results of the threshing as in
dicated in this report. The quality
of the grain is excellent, being re
ported at 102 per cent compared
with an average.
The present wheat crop is the
largest in the history of the stato
as to average yield per acre, as
was predicted in last report it
would be, and is only exceeded in
total bushels produced by tho
years 1880, 1891, 1893 and 1894.
The -facts with regard to values
tell quite a different story. The
big crop of 1880 showed an aver
age price of one dollar and si-xtcen
cents per bushel, or a total value
of fifty six million, three hundred
and six thousand seven hundred
and fiftysix dollars. The present
large wheat crop, figured at two
dollars and six cents per bushel,
has a total value of $88,189,397, an
increase in value over the 1880
crop of $31,882,641.
Wheat seeding well advanced,
but owing to the late cutting of
corn the work is somewhat re
tarded. Rain is needed badly.
The oats crop is the largest the
stato has ever produced, having a
total production of 69,354,811
bushels, with an average produc
tion per acre of 45 bushels. Qual
ity compared with an average 101
per cent.
Barley and rye showa good
average production per acre, and
also lead in the state's production
of these crops. The quality is excel
lent, barley being reported at 97
per cent compared with an aver
age, and rye 99 per cent.
The corn prospects show an in
crease of two points since report
of August 1, being estimated at
94 per cent compared with an
average, which should produce an
average of 33 bushels per acre.
From assessoi'S returns, tho esti
mated area planted to corn is
3,387,459 acres, which should pro
duce approximately 111,786,147
bushels, being about six million
bushels short of a ten-year average.
Corn cutting began later than
usual, and a great area is still un
cut. September frosts did consid
erable damage to corn in the small
valleys, there being much that is
soft and unmerchantable.
The potato crop is being report
ed at 180 per cent compared with
last year, which should produce
an average of 83 bushels per acre,
or a total production "of approxi
mately 9,000,000 bushels.
Apple prospects compared with
last year 46 per cent.
Hog cholera reported from some
sections. Help scarce.
