INVITED STATES NOT IN DANGER OF FOOD SHORTAGE

in normal times are approximately lo5,- 100000 bushels. The year preceding the WAT it was l45, 5,OO0,OOO bushels. In l9l4-15 it was 332,OOO,OO0 bushels, dropping in 1915-l6 to 243, 100000 bushels. Looking only at the crop of $40 100000 bushels, and having in mind the possibilities of export as suggested by the figure of 332, ,OO0,OOO for 19l4-15, the public naturally appre- hended that there would be lack of bread. Dealers and others became unduly excited.
 Total Available Supply
 The total available supply, including both the crop and carry-over, aggregatlng oO4,- 900. 900 bushels-a part of which, it should be said. was not suitable for milling pur poses should have been considered, as we'll as the relatively small exports for the first six months of the current year. Up to the first of January the exports were only 91,- 100000 bushels, and they have tended to decrease partly on account of the disturbed shipping conditions since the first of Janu- ry. Our normal domestic needs of wheat for human food for seeding purposes and for a reserve to carry over into the next ear require 640,O00,0O0 bushels As 1 [ Stdttl, tut totdA Scai eupPiy 10 oo1' 100000 bushels. This would give us an available exportable surplus of l64, 100000 bushels. At the rate of export since the irst of July, with the, tendency to decline recently we should have enough wheat in the country very nearly to supply normal needs.
 The secretary estimates the crop for the coming season at 737 ,000, 900 bushels, al- though disclaiming gifts of prophecy A yield equal to that of 1914, of l6.6 bushels per acre, would give us 979,000,0 bushels
 No Dictator Needed
 Regarding the meat supply the secretary says that figures recently submitted show that the number of cattle on January 1, 1917, was 1,O37 ,000 greater than on January l, 1916, and that the milk COWS had in creased in the same period 660,000 A very considerable development in live stock is taking place in the South.
 The solution of the food question will It involve a federal dictatorship he says, and it is highly unlikely that it will in volve a dictatorship in any state or com munity America does not take kindly to dictators. "As I stated at the outset" he concludes, "there is no. occasion for hys- teria. Intelligent planning and constructive action, in conjunction with the operation of normal forces, are what we need, and these only can bring about a satisfactory result

Houston Says There Is No Cause for Alarm

Houston Says There Is No Cause for Alarm
 In a statement published March 4 under authority of Secretary Houston of the de partment of agriculture, it IS intimated that there are ulterior motives behind the food scare. The statement is in part as fol lows:
 There is nothing in the food situation Of the country which justifes hysterical think ing or action. This IS not time for hys- teria Nor IS this time for the thought of the American people to be directed or dominated by those who have the interests of another country primarily at heart or any selfish interest to further.
 The prices of foodstuffs are high. A full and satisfactory explanation of prevailing prices IS not possible on the basis of exist ing knowledge It only recently that agencies have been created in the country
 It is essential that we have the facts, not all the necessary facts to enable us to arrive at the truth. Where the food supply : located, who owns it, what may be the difficulties of securing 1t, whether the local market conditions are due to car shortage, whether there is artificial manipulation or control no one can state with certainty.
 It is essential that we have the fatcs, not only because of the light they might throw on present conditions but also be- cause they are prerequisite for the working out of permanent, just and economical sys- tenn of marketing. Therefore the investiga- ton directed by the president ought to be made promptly and congress ought to give the federal trade commission and the de partment of agriculture the necessary funds. Certainly such an investigation cannot fur nish immediate relief, but it would be ab- surd to oppose it for this reason. It does not stand in the way of any other measure that may be wise It does not prevent any constructive action on the part of any muni- cipal or local agencies. We must have the facts and the sooner the investigation is undertaken the better. It IS highly probable
