The figures given out by the Depart
ment of Agriculture showing an in
crease in the area of land sown to
wheat amounting to 2,449.OOO acres,
means that the warning of those far
seeing observers so ably led by James
J. Hill, that we must increase our pro-
duction of farm products or slip back
ward as a nation, have been needed
by the farming community. Mr. Hill
has preached his doctrine in and out
of season and his talks at agricultural
fairs and on the platform and in pub
lie interviews have been circulated
all over the country with the result
that the farmers, as never before,
have turned their attention to opening
up lands hitherto considered value
less and sowing 1t to cereals The in
crease in the wheat area planted
means an addition Of close to 10000
900 bushels of wheat to the total crop,
a considerable factor in the wheat
market.
