STARVING OF u. s..
is IMPOSSIBILITY,
BOARD ASSERTS

The last two years show a large in
crease proportonately in imports,
principally from the Argentine
These imports were actually in
small volume compared with the pro-
ducton of any surplus growing corn
state and had small relation to the
question of food. They were largely
the result of decreased domestic pro-
duction owing to drought in the two
years in question and consequent high
prices"
Could Quit Luxurles.
The importation Of luxuries is held
to be entirely a question Of taste. and
our extensive use Of them an evidence
OF our matter of necessity. In case Of
stress we could we'll get along with
out them, as was generally done in
the South during the Civil war"
which is a different proposition from
not raising enough wheat for our own
use and trying to get along without
that"
Rice is not a natural North Ameri-
can product being plant Of tropical
and sub-trobical countries, yet while
both importations and expectations
have increased IN about equal proper
ton. production has outstripped them
both, indicating that she largely in
creased demand Is being met by do
nestle production even more than by
foreign importation,
A definite proof Of surplus produc-
ton Of agricultural products beyond
our needs. according to the report, is
the fact that each year we carry from
the former harvest into the succeed
ing harvest from twenty to twenty-five
per cent Of the yield Of the principal
cereals.
Cane Sugar Blooms.
Cane sugar is pointed TO as most
remarkable exhibit. It Is largely q
tropical and sub-tropical product and
consequently can be grown only in
a limited area in the United States.
Likewise the production OF sugar IN
this country has always been compIi-
Gated by the matter of tariff
Yet despite these facts, according
10 tho report, domestic production in
creased about 1900 per cent against
about 900 per cent in imports, Mean
while exnorts from this country have
increased over 1000 per cent.
There is scarcely an agricultural
food product, either primary or sec
ondary. the production OF which has
not outstripped the growth OF popu!a.
lion in the last fifteen years, and
the real problem is not to seek need
ed supplies abroad, but to find an ade-
quate and satisfactory market for the
constantly increasing output
Big Cattle Exports.
So far as the money value is con-
cerned. according to the national
chamber authorities, the expectation
in 1914 Of pork packing house prod
ucts alone was seven time greater
than all the live cattle brought into
this country during that year, OF
the $l54OO0,OO0 OF packing house
products imported in 1914, only $2O,-
100000 was meat intended for food,
while pork packing house products ex-
ported totaled Sl54,000,00O for the
same period

them down from September 1 TO 10.
Then roll, harrow and fallow the land
until about October to 10, when the
alfalfa should be- seeded. At the time
Of planting we advise that you use at
least 500 pounds of acid phosphate and
about two sacks of cotton seed meal per
acre. II would be good practice to use
potash, but, of course, you cannot Sc
cure any at this time. If you burn
some hard wood this winter, you Should
save the ashes and protect them from
the weather and scatter them broad
cast over the ground shortly after the
cowpeas have been plowd down. Do not
mix the ashes with the lime or with
the fertilizer.
You should be able to secure the in
oculating material needed for an expert

The lime will probably cost you from
SO to SIS a ton delivered. Acid phos-
phate is now sold at about $14 per ton.
The seed wheat should not cost you
yer $50 to 50 bushel, and the work
can be performed by your regular labor.
We have figured that 1t costs us about
$50 to establish an acre OF alIalra mere

some areas which have been cut now for
four years, and have made an average
Of four to five tons per year, 1t has
proven a very profitable investment. The
thorough preparation of the land, it's
enrichment with vegetable matter, the
use of an abundance of lime and fer
tllizer, the selection of AInerican-grown
seed and it's proper incubation are es-
sential matters in obtaining success with
alfalfa.
