The latest foreign information on crops and markets indicate for thirteen leading countries a slighp reduction in acre age of corn, as compared with last year and the usual, which was 133, 330,030 million acres. The nroduction shows about nine percent decrease from last year's crop in sixteen coun tries." This statement is contained in n digest of official agricultural reports issued today by Frank Parker, statis tician of the North Carolina and Unit ad States departments of agriculture. "Europe's production of corn shows a great decrease," it is stated. "The United States and -Argentina supply 80 percent of the corn entering the world trade, according to estimates. These two countries export about the. same quantity in the long average, although we exceeded them almost twenty percent last year. "Most classes of livestock are be low the pre-war level in number. "The leading twenty four foreign countries have experienced the same general price level since the war period. The high point was reached in 1920 and fell until the summer of 1)22. Since then the trend has been upward again. "We are thankful that our south land is being the first to recover -from the distressingly adverse conditions. Although cotton is generally ipoor, North Carolina has a ood crop when Considering the weevil and weather damages. General business has been much stimulated. "This year's national corn crop is back to the 1916-1920 average and prices are much better than last year's over-production. The Irish potato crop is distressingly large. Many fields in the western states will not be dug at all. Rotting is bad with both the white and sweet potatoes. Prices of all lotatoes are very low. "The present outlook for tobacco is considerably below the 1916-1920 aver age . but twenty eight percent more than last years, small crop. North Carolina prices are ix cents per pound hie-her than 1921-average of twenty five percent. The cotton crop, which is reconed at. 19.100.000 bales is twenty five percent more, thon made last year, but also is less than the consumption needs. The shortage is reflected in the price level: "It is of especial interest to note that abou 12 percent more production of all the crops is made this year than last, but that we have no morethan the fiveyear average production," the digest states.

McNairy addressed the welfare league of West Hickory and Longview last night on "The Sins of Youth," and the need for combatting this great evil. Rev.'G. H. Pye, mastor of the Church of God, offered prayer. Mr. McNairy took the position that the social evil must be solved through the youth of the land, which he as serted was worse than intemperance, as great an evil -as it is.

The penalty for immorality is a most horrible disease, and there are yr" suffering , from these horrible discn ses. The speaker described the school in Kinston for the feeble minded. Most of these feeble minded children arc thus because of the immorality ot somebody. Most of the divorces are brought about from the result of im morality. Let us do all we can to stop all foul taik. The welfare league should see to it that the pictures suggesting evil be stopped. The welfare league should see to it that people who make a business of immorality are stopped. Brother McNairy told of a hansome ly diessed young man who boasted that he had led astray a pure girt. Some of the audience suggested that such a man should be sent to the penitentiary for life or electrocuted The speaker declared his belief that he should be rendered harmless for all time.
