Reporting Crops The highly developed organization of the farming industry usually escapes the notice of the average city dweller, whose knowledge of farming consists mainly of appraising the products of the farm that appear, on his table. He does not know that the farming industry is as
highly organized as it that of transportation or commerce. The department of agriculture is a branch of our government that is serving the nation in a most useful manner, contributing to the wealth of the farmer and the happiness of the men and women whose homes are in the cities. The important feature of gathering crop reports from all parts of the country, which is done by the department, deserves to be better understood by all of us.t The Detroit News recently gave the following synopsis: "Aside from innumerable trained officials scattered all over the country, there are 220,000 crop reporters located in all parts of the United States, whose activities are supervised and checked up by field agents and trained statisticians. "The monthly reports gathered in this fashion cover acreage, condition, yield, total production, stocks on farms, progress on farm work,

wages, supply or deficiency of larm labor, fertilizers and seeds. Reports are made for about 60 crops, which represent about 95 per cent of the total agricultural production in the United! States. "It is when this material reaches the depart-j ment of agriculture at Washington that it begins to acquire tremendous significance. Here the information is classified and organized with incredible speed and accuracy. Opinions, conjectures and facts are here sifted, compared and verified until when the final tabulation is made up the sum total of information collected is as authentic as is humanly possible. "There is a touch of the romantic in the dissemination of this news from Washington. Obviously it must be given out to all parts of the country at the same time. Advance information would serve the interests of, speculation. On the evening before crop report day all telephones to the department are disconnected. The next morning all doors are locked and guards see to it that no one enters or leaves the building while the crop-reporting board is in session. Then at exactly 2:15 in the afternoon the telegraph wires into virtually every city and town in the United States are singing with the message of crop conditions. "The tremendous importance of this work is little recognized by the average individual. It is little known, too, how much patience arid ingenuity were required to bring it to its present
state of perfection. For most of us it is suffi-1
cient to know that at the last meeting of the general assembly of the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, to which came delegates from all over the world, it was freely conceded that we had developed the most complete and accurate system of agricultural statistics ever devised."
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" TOE ARTISTIC CAREER The true artist is known by what he expresses and leaves behind him. It may be by beautiful works of colored landscapes or exquisitely etched coppers, cr by what he has left in the memory of great acting on the stage or eloquent utterances on the platform. Under any circumstance, what one brings out of himself and hands over to the world as the best and deepest expression of unselfish desire that Is art. The bootblack may be an artist. Pride and pomp do not interlock for the take of art. To be a thorough artist and thus enter the artistic career, one must keep producing and giving away. It Is a fact that the greatest works from the hand or mind of a nan are born while struggle is on and while there lives a drive behind one's soul. The great Blakelock worked and produced his matchless canvasses of color while a world passed by unheeding. It was not until interested ones came to his side in the midst of misfortune and sickness that he finally was recognized and his true merit given justice. Hugo wrote his undying masterpieces while he had hunger in his body and lived under the roof of a garret. Sad as it is, the Sun of Poverty all too often has lit the day of those who early decided upon an artistic career. Money, applause, and large acclaim are strange to him who desires most to express and give. I have known so many who woje wonderful artists in kindness and consideration and so, breathed into the world peace and loveliness. Not long ago I read of a little gl-' who was an invalid and who could not leave her bed. So she sat t. i day long near a window and waved cheer to those who passed. Is there anyone who would not say that she lived a most artistic life? For to feel, and then to give with all one's might of that feeling, is the highest achievement. Life is good only as we scatter it afar!

NO. 39 Three Coins From Two Two pennies can be made to appear as three by holding them between the bases of the thumbs, and rubbing them back and forth rapidly. A neat trick Is to show "three" coins, in this manner, then shake them between the hands and drop the two coins on the table. The audience will wonder where the third one went.

STATE CLOSES CASE i AGAINST DAN BROWN GREENVILLE, O., Dec. 15. After examining only five witnesses, the state closed its case against Dan H.

Seven shotguns and a high powered rifle were taken from the hardware store, and candy, cigarettes and chewing gum were stolen from the drug store. No clue has yet been found. Two more injunction suits were filed against County Treasurer Brown Wednesday by Henry Drew to prevent him from collecting taxes assessed against the lands owned by them for the improvement of the GreenvilleCovington highway. The reasons filed by the petitioners are similar to those that have already been filed by property owners who have been assessed for the improvement.

Artist Hides Black Eye With Few Daubs of Paint From the New York Sun Charles Ayers Whipple, the New York artist, who has been retouching the beautiful decorations by Brumidi

Whipple is eager to fill the vacant space in the frieze which runs around the dome of the capitol very near the top. This space has been vacant for 30 years, since Brumidi, "the Michael Angelo of the capitol," laid down his brush. Whipple, to demonstrate his ability, did as a piece of sample work a group representing "The Spirit of '17."
