Crop Values
Much Lower in
U. S. This Year!
i
Decline in Grain Partly Offset by
Larger Livestock Production
Potatoes Figure Large.
The gross value of crops in the
United States declined from $10,062,
000,000 for 1924 to $9,615,000,000
for the year 1925 according to in
formation received from Washington
by the state and federal division of
agricultural statistics. Winter wheat
showed a farm value of $590,000,
000 against $776,000,000 for 1924.1
The 1925 pig crop in corn belt states,
smallest in five years. Gross farm
values of all grains 14 per cent be-,
low the 1924 total. I
The gross value of farm crops in
the United States for 1925 was $447,-
000,000 below the 1924 total mens-'
ured by December 1 prices. The de-j
cline in value of grain crops alone
was considerable in excess of the
figure but this decrease was made up
by an increase in the total value of
livestock products. During the past
year agricultural production has
showed a significant readjustment in
favor of livestock producers. The
past five years has forced an increas
ing output per farm worker and a
decline in gross production per cap-(
ita.
Winter wheat showed a marked
reduction in total value with a high-!
er price failing to offset the decrease;
in total value brought about by a.
mailer crop. An increase in winter.
wheat acreage this winter has been
expected but an unfavorable fall re-;
duced the planting by about 416,-'
000 acres or 1 per cent below that :
sown in t lie fall of 1924.
The gross crop value of potatoes
was two and one-half times that of
1:1:24 despite a per cent cut in acre
age and a 24 per cent decline in pro
duction, which gives the country some
idea of what ultimate curtailment on
the farm might mean.
The year 1925 marked a low level
in hog production, witn tne lbJa
pig crop in corn belt states the small-;
1 est in five years, which represents

heifers. The decrease in west-
crn range cattle has apparently been
less than generally thought; but the
number of sheep in the country has
presumably increased since 1920.
It may be expected that the cur
rent spread between feed prices and
animal products will cause a renew
ed upward swin. in livestock produc
tions. The outlook for 192(5 is reas
onably good for producers of hogs and
dairy products; with a somewhat
brighter horizon for agriculture as
a whole were it not for the high level
of industrial wages and prices that
dominate the field of exchange e
lations. NEW EAY IN AGRICULTURE

Golf Club Holds
Annual Meeting
at the Library
Decids to Enlarge Course Some 200
Yards and Also Re-Elect Mem
bers of Directorate
Frum Tiu-sday's Daily
The public library auditorium was
the scene last evening of the meeting
of the Plattsmouth Golf club and
there was a very large and equally
enthusiastic number of the golfers
on hand to participate in the busi
ness cf the session as well as to play
over a number of games of the past
season.
President Jame? W. Holmes pre
sided and in the course of the meeting
was re-elected as a director and here
we take the time to wager that the
genial postmaster will again head the
club if the sentiment of the local
golfers i? an indication. Ed Fricke.
the present secretary is also slated
for another years of trial and tribula
tion. In the election of the board of
directors all of the present members
were re-elected amidst the greatest
enthusiasm, these being: James W.
Holmes. A. W. Cloidt. Dr. R. P. West
over. Andy Moore. (1925 Champion)
E. A. Fricke, J. V. Hatt and Searl
P. Davis.
The members of the club voted to
have the course changed and some
200 yards addition added to the play
ing course and which is expected to
add greatly to the enjoyment of the
members in their daily rounds over
the course. The plans are being drawn
to submit to the grounds committee
under 'whose supervision the work
will be carried out and the revamped
course will be ready for play when
the robins sing again.
The club also voted to have the
lease on the present course renewed
and which insures that the club will
continue to have the advantage of
the attractively located links on the
Wiles farm at the southwestern
boundry of the city. j
The membership committee is also
all peppetl up for the coming year and
hope to addj to their list a large num
ber., of new members to enjoy the
great summer sport.

Progressive
Party Gives Up
the Sponge
State Chairman Says Will Save 'the
State Expense of Preparing
Primary Ballots for It.
Harvard, Neb., Jan. 21.
To the Editor:
I have conversed and corresponded
with nearly all the leading progres
sive party adherents in all f arts of
Nebraska and I am thoroughly con
vinced that it is the overwhelming
sentiment of these electors that the
progressive party should not put a
ticket in the field this year.
I am therefore taking the necessary
legal steps to see that the state is
spared the expense of preparing pri
mary ballots for this organization.
To those voters .who are opposed
to this action-1 have only to. say-that
they have not evidenced their desire
for the continued existence of this
party by any financial assistance.
And a political party is a car that
will not run without gas.
these leaders is that we should all
consider ourselves, wherever rwe .are,
a committee to see that outstanding
progressives are filed on both old
party tickets for legislative positions.
And that if no material change oc
curs in the political atmosphere in
the near future that we -should all
throw our strength toward the repub
lican primary campaign rather than
the democratic party. The reason
for this is that the democratic party
is so disorganized by religious, racial
and sectional antagonism that reform
through that organization U hope
less. We cling to the Wisconsin
idea. To these ideas I give my hearty
approval.
Respectfully,
JOHN M. PAUL.
