Rusby in the following advice on raising
drug plants:
Public interest in the cultivation Of
drugs in the United States is steadily
and rapidly increasing. 1t affects va
rious classes of people and is dependent
upon various considerations, some of
which are sound, while others are quite
the reverse. Among the large number
of persons who have communicated with
me on this subject by far the greater
number are those who have had little
or no personal acquaintance with agri-
culture although many of them have
carried on small horticultural operations
at their homes. They include pharma-
cists, physicians and business men with
country places, but mostly people who
have lived In the city ana nave removed
thence to the country and desire to en-
gage in some form of cultivation of the
soil. They would not think of engaging
in the production of ordinary farm crors,
because of the labor involved and the
smallness and uncertainty of the returns.
Very often, too, they disdain so COM
monplace an occupation as farming
They would be glad to engage in fruit
raising, but realize that it requires

Rome, Urge Rigid
Economy of Food

Rome, Nov. 1s.--Rigid economy
throughout tho world In the consump-
ton of food in view Of the deficient
crops and the extraordinary require
ments Of the European armies Is urged
by the International Institute Of Agri-
culture. The institute says all nations
are confronted with a grave situation.
II is estimated that at least $780,
100000 bushels Of wheat will be con-
sumed in the year ending July 81, 1917,
and that at the end of this period the
worlds surplus supplies of wheat will
have decreased 20 100000 bushels.
The report says that il is only on &C
count Of the fact that last years har-
vests were abundant, leaving a balance
of 350.000,000 bushels. that there Is
available sufficient wheat for the year
ending with next July.
The worlds surplus Of Eve cereals
wheat, rye, barley, oats and corn-is
placed at 539,000,000 bushels. This In
cludes the unexportable Russian stocks
and also the stocks OF Rumania and
Bulgaria. The surplus OF oats is placed
at l66.000,000 bushels. A general scar
city of fodder is expected.
The total Russian stocks OF wheat
now stored which. II military condi-
tons permitted. would be available for
export at the next harvest are esti-
mated at 300 100000 bushels.

Western Grain Men
Deny Food Conspiracy

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Grain men and
students OF crop conditions to-day con-
trsdicted a charge made by Joseph
Hartigan, Commissioner of Weights
and Measures in New York, that West
ern farmers had underestimate their
crop reports to the Federal government
and forced up the price of foodstuffs.
"The attack of Mr.. Hartigan on the
honesty of the American farmer and
the reliability of the government crop
reporting system is just about as far
from the truth Of the situation as his
statement of few weeks ago that the
Board Of Trade had bought up all the
wheat Of the country and was respon-
sible for the high cost TO the con-
sumer." said J. p. Griffin, president of
the Chicago Board of Trade.
Willard r. Meyers, editor Of "The
American Cooperative Journal" official
publication for a number of farmers
organizations. also criticised the state
ment of Mr.. Hartigan.
"The majority of government crop
reporters are not farmers at ALL" he
said. They are postmasters, county
agents and bankers, who are in a po-
stion 70 find out conditions in the ter
ritory they cover.
Furthermore. the millers. warehouse
men and exporters, who are the real
dealers in cash wheat, pay little atten-
tion to government reports. They buy
their requirements from day TO day and
bid high enough to get them. The spec
ulator may influence the price within a
few cents either way, but the real
cause Of the high price OF wheat is
simply a world shortage Of wheat in the
first place and lack Of available cars
In the second place.
"A change of 20 per cent In the gov
eminent estimate one way or The other
would not reduce the price of wheat S
