crop of wheat, for seeding in the
spring states has not been finished.
But there is no room for any delay.
Every available acre should be used.
The spring acreage increase should be
at least so per cent, if suitable land
for It can be found. This is some
thing in which the entire country, the
whole world, has an interest. We
must strive to satisfy the wants Of
our European allies as we'll as those
of our own people. A spring acreage
increase of only per cent might give
no more wheat, both spring and win
ter, than is needed for home con.
sumption. There will be no question
of more immediate importance before
the approaching food conference of
governors in Washington. The influ-
ence Of all the states and of the ma
tional government must be exerted
promptly and in practical ways to
secure all the spring wheat acreage
that can be seeded.

JoFFRE's PLAN.

Marshal Joffre has outlined his
views as to how an American army
Should be trained to assist the allies
He is opposed to long training in the
United States, but favors sending
men to training camps in France as
soon as they have had the necessary
preliminary instruction in the rudi
ments of warfare. -......
He states that a period of time Is
necessary to acclimate the men and
to instruct them in the latest methods
of war which can be learned only at
the scene of action. The general
staff of the war department believed
that most of the preliminary training
could be done on American soil. Jof'
fre's plan upsets this conclusion.

New York Times.)


When partial failure of the winter
wheat crop was shown by official re-
ports three weeks ago, the import
ance of making all possible increase
of acreage in the spring wheat states
was clearly seen. At first there were
indications that not less than 20 per
cent would be added to last years
spring acreage. More than this was
needed to make the entire crop one Of
average size. But now it appears that
the acreage gain, If there be no change
in farmers plans, will be very small
Reports point to decrease in South
Dakota, while in North Dakota and
Minnesota the expected addition does
not exceed Z per cent. 1t was partly
on account of such estimates that the
price of wheat rose sharply, last week,
until sales at Chicago for immediate
delivery we're made at $S.04 a bushel.

SOAKING THE FARMER.

In view of the 100000 grab from
the grain growers contained in the
Drown bill, the outlook for the lead
ers of the Nonpartisan league to i'm.
press the farmers of their ability to-
life ECONOMIC, burdens is gloomy. This
tax, as It stands year after year, will
have Feed D wheat looking like a
pin-leak in a gas balloon.
The feature of the grain grading
act which doubtless impressed A. C.
Townley is the vast political machine
1t creates through the appointment of
inspectors. When the bill is in full
operation, the league officials should
promptly reduce the membership fee
of SIG, for some of the burdens OF
supporting the league propaganda can
easily be borne by q judicious appor-
tionment Of jobs under the terms Of
this act.
Serious minded members of the
league are beginning to wonder If too
much power has not been delegated
to irresponsible leaders who are more
concerned with feathering their own
political nests than in leading the
farmers into an economic utopia.
Equity forces are keenly alive to
the features of the Drown bill and in
due time may have something to say.
This bill is a direct tax against the
farmers for the purpose of creating a
fund to build terminal elevators. Sen
ate Bill No. "a, which Governor Fra
zier vetoed, provided for the erection
of a terminal elevator by general
taxation.
The governor vetoed that bill be-
cause he said that he was not in
favor of building state owned utili-
ties by direct taxation. He or his
advisers might tell the league mem
bers what the Drown bill provides.
This measure soakes the entire cost
to the farmer, besides making him
