up TO NORTHWEST
TO FURNISH WHEAT
Deficiency in the Winter Crop
Must Be Supplied by
Spring States.
BIG DEMAND FOR CASH WHEAT
Farmers Are Already Busy With Seed
ing, but Warm Weather Is
Much Needed.

Minneapolis, April 20.-The North
west must be looked to this year tt
bring the wheat crop Of the unltec
States to a total that will dlsslpate
concern regarding adequate supplies
for the coming season. With the poor
prospects in the winter wheat area
the spring wheat state will nave te
make up the deficiency, and the
Northwest is the great center OF the
spring wheat territory.
High prices will stimulate a larger
acreage, not only because the last Two
| crops have been marketed at an ex
cellent profit. but because the l9os
| harvest is likely to meet with excel
| lent prices. Unless the shortage IN
| supplies that has made it possible fol
a bull pool to make a big killing is
| an Illusion, there will be a broad con
| mercial demand for all the cash whea,
as fast as it comes on the market.
Seeding Under Way.
With the first real indication OF
| springlike weather over the country
seeding of the new crop will progress
raLidly. Work has been under way
for some time. but the cold nights
have retarded operations in the fields
and limited the time to the middle OF
tie day. The warmer weather viii,

will be because the men that raise
tie grain are busy planting the mex
crop.
From the reports received at the
CHAMBER CT commerce there is a big
crain acreage ready to be sown
Flowing was done on a large scale
last fal, and the ground is in excel
Iart cOrditicn for the seed. The Red
river valley is especially fine and a
leree pert of it is already seeded. In
O t. Dakota and in Minnesota work

SAFELY predicted that by the latter

I'll Year for Farmers.
The farmers CT the Northwest have
lad a biz year. Prices for cash wheat
have ranged high throughout the sea

many years before finding cash wheat
prices at the level they are now sell.

are now being received this month OF

The next week or ten days is likely
to be a eliminating period in the pres.

Collector Loeb stated yesterday
that, in negotiations of the abandon

him, he had beer approached by sew
eral reputable lawyers, but refused to
reveal their names, because he said
that they did not know the identity
of the smugglers and had been retain

Would Shield Women.
Collector Loeb's investigation so
far shows that the struggled gowns
had been made in Paris by famous de
signers for many women of exception
al prominence and wealth in New
York. Boston. Philadelphia and Wash
ington, and hat the reason for offer
ing such a large sum to suppress the
investigation was to shield these
women from the unpleasant publicity
threatened by the coming disclosures.
