This Year's Crops.

BOUNTIFUL harvests are always cause for rejoicing. With the possibility that the crop for 1912 may have an influence to decrease the high cost of living, the promised yield is looked forward to by many with cheerful anticipation. The Wall Street Journal estimates that the six leading crops, namely, corn, wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, and hay, will net to the country $760,000,000 more for 1912 than for last year. Present prospects show a yield of 59,000,000 bushels more potatoes this year than during 1911. It is to be hoped that these expectations will be realized.
