In his opinion the 1915 crop will be the ;greatest in the world's eistory. The following extratt from Mr. Daugherte's report will reveal the grounds on which lie bases his propheey: \As a result of the war in Europe, a world•wide tendency exit e to increase the acreage of wheat. Doubtless the most extensive area in the history of ,the world will be Heeded during the present autumn and comhig spring. A prospective lmas'3 demand for t Ilia im- portant food grain by the importing eouritrica of Western Europe is likely if seeding conditions favor to give ex- traordinary stimulus to sowings of both arinter and spring varieties in the two great exporting countries of ,North American and to those servings now be- ing finished under auspicious circum- stances in British India. \In the southern hemispheres. seeding eras eonipleted before the war began. mind the effect of present economic volt- iditionn upon este.noion of areas there will be 'aerated only in tlw spring and summer of 1915. \In Europe, where ordinarily over lialf the world's wheat le produced ,the n. dientions are that all available labor resources, in both neutral and contend- ing nations, will be utilired 10 the ut- most for getting in full or increased areas. In Italy, whose wheat average Is ordinarily second in extent to that of nodded* In Europe, except Russia, 1,000,000 acres, it is said, will be added to the crop. \In the contending countries, extra- ordinary efforts are ereing made in au- tumn steeling. The service ef women and children, men exempt from mili- tary service, refugees, prisoners of war, and soldiers temporarily relieved from .the ranks are being utilized in the tielde as occasions permit and require. Deceive. of strained labor conditions and the occupation of certain territory during seeding time by contending troops some local contractions of area 'vein inevitable. The reduction, how- ever, is likely to be compensated by inereaped sowings In neutral marlins. , \in western' Eurtqw, partieularly iii England and France, tin' autumn sow- ings of wheat are stemewhat iii arrears, but rus a large part of these countries is favored with a mild climate., making stowing operations possible at times during the entire winter little anxiety is expressed over the present. delay.

THE HABITS OF WORKING MEN A professor of Columbia University haS . 11.15t complete] a test of character of 10011 working men of different sec- tions ef the United States and his re- port reveals roomy interesting tenden- cies of the average laborer. Prominent among his discoveries War the noel:dice' that nine men in evens' fen hoborers occupy a large antoutit of their 'mare dine in reading the newspapers, and that this number of them arc subscribers to their local puldieations. Next to the time epent with his fam- g, the American laborer divides hie spare momente in visiting friends and iti reading new spa pm•rs. Of the thousand men investigated. 29 nationalities and 104 oertipations were represented, and 300 of them be- longed , to trade unions. There a ere 5241 church members, while 420 slid not lin/resit religion. Six men in every too are regular patrons of the pi -tulle -home and only three in ten used intox- 'ratite in ally form. Taking the sate thotimand men inves- tigated as a fair example of the aver- este laborer, the American workman re- veals the strongest 'social spirit of that of any cieilized nation on. the globe.
