The teamwork of the squad is not
as far developed rs Coach Harper
vs. ould like. but he is sanguine about
the showing the men will make

team from zero to the zenith not
very long ago. and he refuses to he

WITH THE EDITORS
FOOD CROPS.

The price Of wheat has recently ad.
vanced, owing to a foreign demand
which led the British government to
offer 80 cents bushel for ocean trans.
portation and to reports about farm
reserves. These, leading crop ex-
pert says, are only 9S,00O,000 bushels,
against PAL 100000 a year ago, and the
quantity available for export before
the new crop comes is, in his opinion,
less than 4O,OOO,0OO bushels Secre-
tary Houston says that 164,000,000 bu-
shells was the exportable surplus at
the beginning of the crop year. All
the estimates show that the quantity
which can be sold to foreign buyers
will probably be exhausted before the
next harvest. While last years crop
of wheat was about 9O,000,00O bushels
below the five years average, the
yield Of corn was only slightly def
cient. But in recent months there
have been large exports of corn, and
the price is very high. Farm reserves
are reported to be 7S5000.000 bushels,
against 1,133,00OOo0 bushels at this
date in 1916. There was wheat crop
shortage last year all over the world
the reduction having been Is per cent
In Argentina failure of all the Ger.
eals has affected one of Europe's
sources Of supply. We had only about
two-thirds of a crop of potatoes
There were deficiencies elsewhere
and prices are without precedent.
AS the time for planting approach
es, our farmers should be moved by
the prevailing price figures, last year s
deficit, and the persistent demand
from abroad for American foodstuffs
to increase their food acreage. The
area given to winter wheat has been
slightly enlarged. but not all the re
ports as to condition are favorable
What will be done in p, the spring
wheat states remains to be seen. The
financial argument for greater pota
to acreage should be convincing. Oul
farmers expenses are much higher
than they we're before the war, on &C
count of the cost of what they must
buy and of the wages they are requir
ed to pay. And it is difficult to get the
workmen who are needed. But there
is good reason to expect that the pric
es of their products will continue t
be high, even if peace should come
There will be profit in additional acre

make large crops this year.-Nev

The American secret service is the
best in the world. We say this with
out reserve or qualification. It's oper.

plots against the government and
people of the United States, and
many of the plotters are now behind

The latest exploits of the secret
service was the arrest at HOboken,
n. J., Of a bomb plotter and at New
York of two men who planned an up.
rising in India.
But the greatest feat of Uncle
Sans shadow men was the inter

costing an alliance Of Germany. Japan
and Mexico against the United States.

in avoiding suspicion.
If war comes some of the devlltry
which is being planned wi, probably

That the German government eX-

reign of terror in the United States,
there can be no doubt.
