Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter, THE CROPS The Springfield Republican is opti Ulistic over the crop outlook, and ir. truth there do s not seem to be much reason lor any great alarm. The crops are not what we looked for, and It may lie that they are not large enough to lower food prices in the near future. But, really, we are not so poorly off. According to the government renort for September we are to have a record wheat yield—7s 1,000,000 bushels. The greatest producing wheat crop was that of 1901. when it amounted to 74MH0.21H bushels. We are to have d.otiti.ooo.ooo of oats, a yield that ha? teen exceeded only twice before in our history, in 1010 and 1011. when it was respectively 1,186,311.000 and 1,118,337.000 bushels. This is wry far from being a bad showing. Even our corn crop, which is dis.;; • j-olntlngly short, compares well with the yield of all the other years, save 1912 alone. Tliis latter was 3.124.746.evo, while this year it is only 2,251 • 000,000 bushels. This is in excess of any crop between IPOB and 1905, except that of V.ml, which was slightly larger. Even two years ago we had only 2,531,488.000 bushels of corn. We think that the Springileld Republican is right when it says: This year’s crop is a disappointment the more serious, not liecause of last year s unaparalleled yield, but because it had been hoped that there might be bumper corn crops in successive years in order that the meat supply might be cheap and abundant feed for cattle. The hay crop, though failing below that of last year, will be better than tuat of PJII, and the same thing is true of rye and barley. The 11< e J ield shows a considerable increa e over that of the two pre. ediug years. ‘ The year." says our contemporary, * does not spell calamity, on the duccd from the soil.’ Population, however, is increased rapidly in th* last ten years, ami so a crop that might be absolutely larger th.mthat oi ten years ago would lie relatively smaller, and by a considera'a!

amount. That is a factor in the problem that cannot safely be ignored. An increasing demand and a stationary supply or even a supply that in creases, but not proportionately to the demand, may mean a serious shortage. But on the whole we mem to have done fairly well this year.—lnd:r.napolis News. Logansport is gaining a great reputation over the state because of its municipal electric and water plant, said to be the best in Ihe state and with the lowest rates. It is out oi debt and a splendid plant, and it was made so; at least it was greatly improved, by one man. the mayor of the city, who in four years has brought the plant up to the high grade usual'.' sustained by private institutions but not often by public. That mayor was a good business man and h< was backed by a good council. At that they have nothing on Decatur. f In a few years the present council has made the local plant one of the best have paid its bonds off and have it conditioned now to make a recon as good or better than Logansport. 1 you want it done. If you want to have thebest town in the universe, yoi I must be a genuine, true blue, earnest citixen now and assist in selecting 'neli who can do these things.
