IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There viii Still, However, Be
Heavy Deficit Of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch.
Ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number OF years.
says
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels OF wheat. The pro-
duction OF the countries at war. tied
up. This is about onehalf the worlds
four billion bushels. One writer ar.
CUES that, granting that the warring
nations produce a one-half crop In
the coming year. q deficit OF one bill.
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filling
OF this deficit OF one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
$4,000 .O0e, their expor.able surplus
would of course be much less so II
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and II
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
20 re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process OF rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration OF peace the farmers
OF all neutral wheat-produsing coun.
tries will have ample opportunity TO
market their wheat at good prices.
and It may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
tion OF the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
II the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
OF the Dominion Of Canada TO secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands OF the country? Not only ara
these lands capable OF producing high
class wheat In large quantities. but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.

Bavis referred to Mr.. Gormon as lone
Of the severest critics this administra-
tion has had" Mrs. Ashenfelder, who
lives on Fort Wayne avenue, poured
telling broadside into the board.
Woman Tells Story.
"My husband died two years ago,
leaving my daughter and myself with
out anything except smaI piece OF
property on the west side," she said.
Her face was red and her eyes snap
ped fire. This we sold and purchased
the property we now live in on Fort
Wayne avenue. This Is mortgaged
for $4,000. We live by renting rooms
and doing sewing. We have no money
to pay for a street assessment and if
the improvement is made we will lose
our home. If we lose our home the
citizens should do with this board
what they did in another city, drive
you out of office. You are like lot
of boys. You start fuss and now
you want to put the whole thing up
to council to get out of trouble. You
matters yourself 1 can't speak what
l think of you. One thing is sure, you
will never get back again after your
terms are out"
Her words were greeted with a
round of applause on the part OF the
room full of demonstrators.
eavis Makes Amends.
President Bavis stated that her case
was one of the frequent similar TRACE
dies encountered by the board when
public improvements were provided.
THE hardest duty we have to perform
is to order improvements when by do
ing so we know we will inflict hard
ships on worthy people, but we must
respond always to what we believe is
service to the best interests of the
city as a whole" Mr.. Bavis remarked
very gravely, and he said he hoped
Mrs. Ashenfelder would have no cause
to complain that she had not been
treated with every courtesy by the
board.
argued that Fort Wayne avenue had
only been recently macadamized and
that it would be folly to tear up one
of the best streets of it's kind in the
city to provide brick paving. Mr.. Ba-
Wis said this argument was what caus-
ed him to vote in favor Of the motion
made by Mr.. McMinn to rescind the
order for the paving of that street.
Before Mrs. Ashenfelder and three
other women who accompanied her
left the room, Mr.. McMinn assured
them that he had always been against
the proposal to pave Fort Wayne ave
nue., which caused them to shake hands
with him very cordially.
Avenue Needs Repairs.
Mr.. Gormon said that all Fort
Wayne avenue required was some re-
pairing where the service companies
had left ruts. He said the city could
