Pennsylvania ranks nineteenth in corn production, but it leads all of the principal corn states with average production. Pennsylvania takes fifth place among the large potato produc ing states, but in average produc tion per acre is in tenth place. Less rabies have been reported than for a number of years, the enforcement of the dog law being largely responsible for the de crease. Practically every county in the State shows an, increase in the number of silos in use on farms, some of the increases being eight percent, over last year. Early estimates indicate that New York has captured the buck wheat production honors from Pennsylvania, by a margin of a few hundred thousand bushels. If you are interested in poult ry raising join the Pennsylvania Poultry Association. Organize a club in your vicinity for mcreas ing interest in poultry raising. Write the Department of Agri culture at Harrisburg. The Pennsylvania sweet potato crop is estimated at 110,000 bush els- The yield of clover seed m the State during the past season is estimated atone bushel to an acre. a great privilege for our people to witness these trucks, which are under full military control.

The loans made by the United States to the Governments' at war with Germany are arranged bv Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and submitted to the President and made with his ap proval. The Secretary states that his judgment in making these loans is determined lareolv bv tho w tr f monthly requirements of the ap plicacts. The different powers. through their duly authorized representatives, make their rep resentation as to their necessities for carrying on the war, and aft er discussion the various amounts are arrived at. These loans, says the Secre tiry, are essential for our own protection, not only for our pro tection in a military way but for our economic protection and wel fare. The production of the United States has been speeded upat.d greatly stimulated. We are producing more than our own needs, aid our own economic production and welfare demand tbat we sell muchof our produces to our allies To accomplish this o must extend these credits to enable them to buy our products. Their cmmercial salvation is an essential part of their effec tiveness in the war, and their commercial well being demands that their export trade be main tained in a considerable measure. They must keep their civil popu- ation engaged to the extent nec e.-sary to sustain their industrial and economic existence. It is sound economic policy on cur part to assist them in maintain- g their industrial life and eco nomic welfare Very little of the money loaned to i ur allies, the Secretary states, gneb cut of the United States. Most : it is spent right here for war tutorials and foodstuffs. Tne morn.. we are advancing is not a contribution; it is a loan, on which they will pay interest and which ultimately will be repaid I i full. Our allies are looked up on by us as solvent, peoples, with out ready money but with per fectly kood credit . Their expenditures of this money in this country are super v'ued by us. Their purchases are made with the advice and as sistance of our War Industries Hoard. This system not only protects the borrowing ally but prevent competitive bidding Against the other allies and tho only of menbutof money, money which would not be returned to us and lav that could never be restored, the wisdom of our pol icy in financing our allies is plain to everyone, it is not only a duty to them tbat we are per forming in lending them part of our great wealth; it is a great duty we are performing to cur soldiers and sailors and our Na tion in making our allies power ful and effective, ibuj lesbening the work and danger and suffer ing for our own men and in bring, ing the war to an earlier close.
