Owing to the printers’ strike in New York City, many magazines have been forced to suspend publica t’on or move their plants to other cities. Refusing to do either, The Lit- < rary Digest hit upon a novel idea to issue the magazine without the aid of type-setters. The “copy” is type written^ a., photograph is made of the page, and a “cut” is made of the photograph, the printing being done in the regular way from this “cut” or I late. The publishers are of the Opin ion that it will revolutionize the mag azine printing industry and do away with tie-ups due to strikes. The type however, is a ^jttle harder to rea< than regular foundry type, and we fail to see what would prevent a tie-up should the stenographers “get the hah :t“ ami also strike.

Intrndn (tiling Out Cl dition Figurm Only Fridft>\ Washington, Oct. 25.—The depart- nent of agriculture has announced that in the cotton report to Ik* issued tntober 31, it will estimate the condi tion but will not estimate the yield rcr acre nor forecast the total pro duction. Representative Byrnes of t*outh Carolina, author of the resolu tion ordering the publication of this supplemental report, stated today that he has been urging the department to .nclude in the report an estimate of *he yield per acre and the total pro duction, so that it will be similar to J reports of other months. He says that the department officials claim tkat it is impossible to comply with this re quest because their estimates are based on the average condition of pre- vious years on the same date and as no reports have been issued in pre- Vioua years for cotton during October that they have no basis for their esti mate. The department states that I rior to 1915 the reports included tuly an estimate of eondition an<Kthe trade will have to make its own esti mate of total production just as it did ] rior to 1915. • * 1 «4 1 aaM mm mi my pi arn tt g £08 mttrrn, wfcwh | paid 9IT3* 1 rvg far four y*ar« ago, and I got prr orvo f«*r it.
