Corn Was the Most Valuable Singlc
Crop, With Cotton Next-Production li
and Prices Will Be Maintained, Is
Prediction.
By JAMES P. HORNADAY. Ni
Washington.-The farms of the Uni- t°
ted States yielded approximately $2 ,- I
000,0010.(K) in the calendar year 1919.
It was the greatest year in the history
of American agriculture. ) The value of cit
the yield for the year s three times
greater than that of tl' years ago. The
agricultural department believes the tic
splendid showink may be traced direct- bu
rs ly to the awakening that came to the a
Il farmers of the country during the tic
we world war. As a result of the demand the
le for increased production, a demand the
that reached every farm home in the TL
1e land, there was a great gain in produc- cit
1e tion in 11117, another gain in 1918 and pi
It then last year still another gain that foi
ly took the agriculturist of the country nu
over the top, so to speak. sci
ts In the total value of the crops of the sal
y. country in 1919, $16,025,000,000, In- pre
, cludes Items and groups of Items that At
at each exceed $1.000,000,000. The most In(
Is valuable single crop was corn. On the tic
basis of $1.35 a bushel the corn yield Ite
of the year is worth $3,934,000,000. cit
This is a sum in excess of the value of pa
all crops produced in the United States wt
prior to 1904. Of course the larger fn
MP part of the corn crop is still unmarket
' ed, but the government's statisticians sel
believe that the value they have placed sal
n on it is a fair one. ter
ill The cotton crop was low in quantity, tel
ir, but it commanded a good price and tet
y ranked next to corn in total value, $2,- sal
235,000.000, which includes the value col
placed on both lint and seed. Hay was mi
the third most valuable crop of the tli
ia year. Accorling to the government's of
th statistics the 109,000,000 tons grown sal
r-, have a total value of $2,129,000.000. In pe
a- reaching this total, it is pointed out, no lo
th accent is taken of the value of pastur- hel
at age, the total of which might properly the
to be reckoned at two billion at least.
Wheat Takes Fourth Place.
nr Wheat ranked fourth in point of Is
- value. The total production Is figured eM
II by the government at 941.000,000 bush- thi
Ii els, which, valued at $2.15 a bushel, el
was worth $2,024,000,000. All other for
cereals combined are valued by the
7 statisticlans at $7,474,000.000, which is ms
more than the total annual value of all ha
farm crope prior to 1916. The vega thI
table total, including potatoes and ile
sweet potatoes, Is $1,479,000,000; the th
E fruit total, $730,000,000; seeds total, te
$261,000,000, including beans and pea- at,
" nuts; sugar producing crops, $147,000,- te
000. The total value of animal prod- ,
acts for the year Is estimated at $8,- or
957.000,000; dairy products, $2,789.- ,
It. 000.000; poultry products, $1,159,000,- ll
,. 000, and wool clip, $100,000,000.
as The farmers of the United States
id have sho*n the world what they can th
as do and what they will do when there
at is a proper Incentive for them to do It. t
al They have demonstrated their ability i
to tfeed most of the world, ift the world

Sthat has been set can be and will be

I1 To Bring Heme Ameria'~s Dead.
It is now reasonably certain
that the bodies et the Amen
gcan soldiers buried in ?rane. will be 1
Sbrought home. Some time ago the
war department announced that in
reaching a decision nla this matter it
would be guided by the wishes of the
to nearest of kin of the dead soldiers. So
r. aso to ascertain the wishes of the near- m
eat of kin the department, by order of
Secretary Baker, seat out 74.000 cards
of inquiry. Thus far 54,600 answers
ir- have been received, and of this num
to her 43,900 express the wish that the t
bodies be brought back, 10,400 that
r- the bodies remain in France, and 300
er that bodies be reburled in a country
I- other than the United States or
Frace. On the besis of the answers
- already nla, 70 per cent of the nearest ft
of kin want the bodies brought back.
It Is assumed that this percentage will to
hold good when all the replies are In. 1
The war dqepartment reckons the s- pr
sponse to Its Inquiries as an over-I
whelming demand that the bodies be he
brought home, and from this time on m
It will proceed with taat end in view. or
There are still a good many obstacles di
in the way of tarrying out the wishes pr
of the nearest of kin. In the first w
place. France still objects to the re
moval of the bodies. The chlief
ground for its objection is that the
sanitary laws of the French govern- fa
ment would have to be set aside ar
shiuld the bodies be taken up for gi
shipment to the United States. sn fr
spite of the attitude of the French be
government the belief prevails In ot
flical quarters here that In time ar- di
rangemnents can be made for the re
turn of the bodles th

The war department is girtag
thought to the organization that will
be formed to take charge of th ý bring
ing home of the bodies. There Is al
ready in existence what is known as A
the United States graves commission,
an organization that has been busy in
France ever since the armistice was
signed, locating and identifying sol- i
FOR diers who fell in the war, and that y
commission still has a great deal of h
AT work ahead of t. The present plan sj
is to turn over to it the main part of d
the task of arranging for the bringing n
home of the bodies. This commnission

step will be to ask the nearest of kin i)

In the Through blasks sent to county and 0

icians school year of 1918-1919. the average
laced salary for the country for elementary
teachers was $856; for intermediate
tatity, teachers, $9.51, and for high school
e and teachers. $1,224. The annual average

gored cent of the teachers resigning during
bush- the period under consideration re
ushel. ceived less than the medium salaries
other for their respective groups. The
y the questionnaire brogght out the Infor- n
ich Is mation that only one teacher in five
of all has any additional income and for t

pod- eat on them for support, either wholly

Much stress Is laid on the showing
Btates that men and women in lines of work 3
y can that do pot require any particular e

do I teachers. For instance, a comparison t
abili is made between the salaries paid t
world teachers and the wages paid bakers
w the and others in the citles of Cleveland
nect- and Chicago. It is shown that in each
of these titles a head baker receives
Moh $300 more a year than an elementary j
schoolteacher of the same disirlet; a

It t machinhsts 81338 more a year.
