MAY 1 CROP REPORT With thy tendency ” for all farm eropi to be telling at pre-war and lower price*, it ia intsrerting tn note that the Noilh Carolina wheat crop of 6,441,000 bushel* :s forerasted to he tan per cent or 2,080,000 bushels leai than lait year* crop at the name date. This mean* a d"op of more than twenty-flve per eeirt'on a bar* of 84 per cent condition for both yearn. The average price for May lit i* $1.61 a* compared with $2.80 a year ago. The national average 1* 81-10 in con trait to 82.51 in May, 1820. It ia telling in neveral of the wcitern wheat Mate* below 81.00 per bushel, which i* much below corn of produc tion. The abandonment in North Caro lina U I I and for the United States 4.6. The middlewcst great winter wheat belt had a poor crop last year *0 that the 629,287,000-buibel crop forecasted for tho nation dee* not Rive a true idea ef normal compaiison. The stale'* rye crop I* imported to everage 80 per cent of a normal or full eiep condition on nine y«r cent iea* acreage than wa* have tied for grain laat year. The crop forecaJted | la therefore 72,000 acr**, with an »v. erage prospect of tan bushel* per sere wh»h is prseticslly equal to the con diUsn a year ago. 1 bo crap for tbs United States ever*go* »*2.lt per mt of a normal condition. The acreage, aa in this state, is decreased ten per esrrb The total ueipage ef crops Intended for hay it reported to average seven per cent mere than lent yvar. Thla is far two reasons. Ton many farm er* havn had to bay their hay, and they see wh«r* It can now be grown t« hatter advantage. Another reason I* that th* decreas ed acreage of <#Klon and tobacco make It the opportune thing to do. Hay crops ere th* best safe crop-just soar. ' Thars is s two per rent increase forecasted far the United States. The itete and national conditions av erage 46 to 9i par feat of a full crop 'pne*p*rt. Strange ui aay. the pa t of .the hay crop still on farm* at ihia laU avenge* the mm for both state tud notion-. This is eighteen par eont >f lost year's crop. The sauJlaot psr :enUg* is In ths piedmont counties.

The national work In plowing, slanting and pasture* l, also dccldsly letter than laat year. The prepara tion of the ooll is 17 per cent ahead of last yrar. This ought to mean that all the -tatw will have opportunity to gat in as abundantly. The livestock mortality and condi tion for the past year was about the same as for the previous year.

Farm tenancy is not on the Increase K recent compilation shows 87.7 per tent of the Badger State farms in Use -hands of owner*—an increase of ft per cent In ten yoai-a. Since the tensnt question la such un embaraaenunt elsewhere and since many states count half their farm population as nomads, it Is interest ing to inquire regarding Wisconsin's position and what brought it about. One thing which helped was the date's immigration policy. Wisconsin hue both agiec-d good end bad cut over lands. It is Mrtlling the good lends and warning homeatekers a ta.-n«r the worthless hind. The immi cro tiai division of the state gave honest, frank edvire to 12,961 homo Ktken, last yaar; it censored land sdvortisemcnts at the request of news looi land dealers; wrote pamphlets Fur lb* railroad administration; pre pared tiulhful articles (or newspap er-; actually pal 1,583 families on new lands and kept in close touch with them. No doubt such a policy h* Iped beyond the mere numbers which the immigration division could actually tabulate. A lot of credit must, so doubt, be given to Wtiaconxin'e large foreign EpuUtion consisting of people* (rum ids where thrift ia general but land ownership i* not. That they got what they came after—homes.—The Conn try Gentleman. SOUND OF THE CMAJtGE From Manufacturer* Kreord "Best a retreat,” said Napoleon to a drummer boy. when in one of hia battle* ha felt that ha was loaing and that his army must retreat In ordar to be Saved. "Sire," aaid the drummer boy, “1 hues never learned to beat a retreat, but 1 can beat a march that win make the dead aria* and fight.” He received permission from the general to beat a march, into which ba threw his vary soul. The tired, weary, al most defeated aoldiera caught the In spiration of the charge, ana with new energy and quickened fire of body sad spirit rushed ones more to the battle and worn a'meat victory. i The people of this country foal that ilmoctreaebed the limit of their oa loiunc*. They have been beating a [•treat, but the time has com* to scat a march and catch that ness in spiration which Napoleon's aoldiera felt at tho stirring music brought Forth by the indomitable drummer hoy who knew not how to beat a re treat. Every man who ia pessimistic, or who permits the discouragements of the hour to dominate him, is boating s retreat. Ue Is not only beating a i ctreat for hi* own business, but he l* beating a retreat for all with whom he comes in touch. The time has come to brat a march, to sound the charge, to quicken the lifo blood of the nation onea more and out of tho apparent defeat of the last 12 months rally for a n»w charge, a new creative period of work and en •fy- Forgetting the things that nr* behind, w* must press forward with grfnter energy to overcome the dif f I cult i us which a* a nation wc have nail to face. Every man who drasra within his business shell, every man who can cels his contracts or pessimistically refuses to do business because of his four of the fture, is beating a re treat. Every min who goes ahead , who ha* the optimism of tht drum me r boy and a spirit which dares to do things, ia beating a march on to victory. If throughout the entire nation there can be rekindled the drummer bnv'l fir*. Vf iWl hdnn kaea ran«I_ miun and aunahin* and p-oeperlty. where today there ia pcar'mUm and dooht and dexpair. It waa the drummer boy whooo work inxpired the great Napoleon and bix troop*. It muet he the drummer boy of tho buxinet* world, the farmer and tha mail me reha at, and tha la dividual boxineaa men, who beat the march and eound the charge rather than the great bualncM leader! who have baited eo long. The once who hove xufferr-d moat be the once to dare and do the moot. The men who would beat a march on to victory over tho threatenod dlxaatrr which they have eo long faced will be the red Wooded men who know that the nation caanet (tend xtill and who are determined to lead the charge. The peariraiat ia the ahirked. The uptimlH is the harden benier. The retreat. The optim'iat ia tha man who eonnda tha ebargo. GOOD AND FRIENDLYU>VICfc New» and Obacrver.
