Food Problem First.

quirements
Food Problem First.
The president in his statement
said the government was trying first
TO ameliorate present food conditions
and conditions that are expected 10
arise between now and the next har-
vest. Many officials, alarmed at the
wheat shortage and the heavy drain
the allies and neutrals are making
on every kind Of American food sup
plies. are urging an immediate en-
barge on food shipments.
Through control of coal and fuels
the government intends to take a
firm grasp on the situation. An
agreement under negotiation will
give the American and British gov
eminent control not only of allied
tonnage. but also Of neutral vessels
as well. Ships now on runs not re-
garded as necessary TO a successful
conduct Of the war, will be forced
into trades considered more essen
tial and vessels now held in port
through fear Of submarine attack

Steel Shortage Feared.
Control Of iron and steel was
made necessarv by war demands Oh
the iron and steel industries A
shortage of steel in this country is
threatened because of the large
amount that : being diverted to
munitions manufacture and the con-
struction Of the governments mer-
chant fleet. Japan's heavy purchases
OF steel plates for merchant shin
building made necessary that plat
be put under control. At the same
time this action gives the govern
ment weapon with which to force
Japanese tonnage into the trans
Atlantic trades.
Specific regulations governing
food exports and shipments Of other
commodities named in today's list
are expected 10 he issued by the
president within a few DAYS. Even
if a complete embargo is not placed
on food exports for a time it is
known many restrictions will he
made. The exports council. compris-
ing three cabinet members and the
food administrator. are drawing up
program TO he submitted 10 the
president Immediately.
Seek No Injustice.
One argument advanced by advo-
Gates Of a complete embargo on food
shipments is that the neutral coun-
tries and the allies have presented
entirely different statements regard
ing the amount Of foodstuffs going
from the neutral countries into
Germany. II is argued also that
neutrals cannot be treated all alike
as varying conditions obtain in HOl-
land and the scandinavian countries.
The president declares in his state
ment that this government has no
desire to do any injustice TO neutral
countries and intends 70 cooperate
with them in adding 10 their neces-

Il WHEAT Goes
$69,80I,750| IN
EXCESS Of 1916
Value of Single Crop This Year
More Than Double That Of
Last.-Quality Better
FIVE LEADING PRODUCTS
SHOW SUBSTANTIAL GAIN

North Dakota's 5S,G00,0J0 bushels
Of 1917 wheat at 5000 the bushel are
worth $69,S01.750 more than the &c.
325, 600 bushels produced in this state
in 1916 and sold at $1,25 per bushel.
The actual value OF North Dakota's s
1917 wheat crop will be much more in
excess of the price received in 1916
than this comparison shows, for the
quality of wheat is far superior. The
1916 wheat was so poor that 1t was
with difficulty that sufficient seed for
this year was obtained from it.
Five Crops Show Gain.
This comparative data is taken rroI
the government crop report for North
Dakota. comparing the October l es-
innate with the December, 1916, re.
port. The government statistics show
a gain of $63, ,25O for five leading
North Dakota crops, including pota-
toes and hay, and excluding barley and
rye, in which a decided gain will oe
shown, and flaxseed, which probably
will show small loss, even at the
prevailing price of 1925 the bushel.
Even with but half crop, flax at
present prices will yield the North
Dakota farmer $15,0S0,000.
The October estimate for wheat is
5S,6CO,000 bushels as compared with
1926, 900, the final estimate for 1916.
rne average price is $2C3 as com.
pared with 1925, and the total value
,ased on this price is $11S,95S,000, as
compared with $49,l56,250.
Oats Worth More.
The October estimate for oats is
3S,600,0OO bushels, valued at $21,616,-
800, as compared with 53,750,OOO bush
els produced in 1916 and valued at
s21,500,O00. October oats are worth
IS cents. The 1916 price was ~
cents. October corn, estimated at g.
no, 900 bushels, is valued at $S,53o,200,
as compared with 13,515,000 bushels at
$l1,4S7,750 last year. October pOta
toes, estimated at 100000 bushels,
are worth $7,935,OOO as compared with
$6,665,95O for 1858 G,975, ,O00.bushel
crop October hay, estimated at l..
5000 tons. is worth $1S,957 500, as
compared with 1854, 900 tons, worth
$23, ,456, 400, shown in the final esti'
mate for 1916.
Flaxseed is estimated at but 4,640,.
600 bushels as compared with 8,137,
400, the final 1916 estimate. Rye shows
$4,000 bushels, a gain of 100 per.
cent over the 1916 crop of 4,G55,0
bushels. October barley, at 23,500,.
900 bushels, shows a slight loss from
the 1916 crop of 26,73S,0O0, but the
much higher price more than dis.
counts the difference.
The 1917 wheat crop, although but
one-third as great in volume, in value
almost parallels the bumper 100000,
900 crop of 1915.

North Dakota's fuel problems yes
terday were placed in the hands OF
Capt. l. p. Baker, Bismarck banker
and transportation chief. The first
vice president of the Bismarck bank
and president of the Benton Packet
Co. received notice yesterday OF his
appointment to this important post, IN
which he will have supervision of the
distribution of fuel to all sections OF
North Dakota, and bright and early
this morning the North Dakota rail
board put up to Captain Baker some
puzzlers with which it has been strug'
Cling for several weeks past.
Fear Fuel Famine.
Finding that there appears grave
danger of a serious fuel shortage IN
this state during the coming winter,
that North Dakota is unable to pro-
duce all the coal re"uired for domes'
tic consumption; that eastern coal has
not moved to the docks at Superior
and Duluth in the usual volume; that
larger part OF our coal must come
from Wyoming and Montana mines;
that some of the largest mines in the
Sheridan, Wyo, district have been op'
Grating at half capacity only three
days week; that the operators o.!
these mines attribute their inability
to sell their product in North Dakota

NORTH DAKOTA
CAN PURCHASE
LIBERTY BONDS
Land Commissioner Prater De-
clares School Fund Almost
Depleted by Loans
DEMANDS FROM FARMERS
ARE UNUSUALLY HEAVY

with only few thousands left in
our university and school lands fund,
and with demands now coming In for
farm loans which we must reject, |
am very much afraid the state will
not be in a position to invest in the
second liberty loan," said Land Com.
missioner w. ]. Prater when this
question was put up to him today.
There probably is not more than
$4,000 now availa Die in the university
and school funds, for investment. The
interest and income funds cannot be
touched except for the support OF the
educational institutions. The invest.
ment funds probably will not be
greatly increased until the first of
January, and then the amount Of
money paid in probably will be less
than usual Land contract payments
fall due Dec. l. The only other source
of income would be from new land
sales. No such sales have been adj
vertised and the board of university
and school lands does not regard the
season propitious for them.
The board is making no loans at
present, but is filing applications in
the order of their receipt. 1t is not
probable that farmers who have pe-
titioned for state loans can be accom-
modated until after January 1. The
purchase of municipal and school
bonds has been abandoned entirely
for the time-being, the board feeling
that all of the funds at its disposal
should be preserved for the benefit
of the farmer who may need assist
ance to tide him over the winter.
The almost utter depletion of the
school investment funds is due to a
heavy demand for farm loans last
spring, when many farmers borrowed
money from the state to enable them
to put in the large acreage which
Uncle Sam asked from North Da-
kOta.
