From our bounteous surplus we have fed the

even with all the advantages of climate and natural
fertility Our country in its entirety has little to

gained by cooperation; while agricultural credit
is almost universally viewed in the United States

With a total area Of only l25,0OOO00 acres of

to effectively marshal the collective effort of the
farming population of the United States towards
the end of the greatest possible production but
plans should be formed now to redouble efforts

come. For the sake of our national pride, if for
no better reason, the American farmer should feel
ashamed to relinquish the palm. to the farmers Of

an American -hundred-acre farm feeds more

by Europe in 1917 and adopted practical scientific
education and cooperation, that the world might
not starve. ."".

Extra Session Of Congress Moved Up to
April 2, Recent German Outrages
Creating State Of War
PUTS ARMY AND NAVY
ON WAR FOOTING
Entire Country Demands Vengeance for
Killing Of Americans and Destruc-
lion Of Property
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, March 21-President
Wilson today issued a call for con
gress to convene in extra session on
April 2. He has decided to meet af
fronts to America on the high seas
with sweeping action which today
seemed just ahead
Congress will be asked to consider
aggressive steps toward the imperial
German government With state OF
war admittedly existing as a result of
U-boat attacks on American ships, a
declaration Of war may result as the
first action by congress. If the presi-
dent does not ask fora declaration Of
war, it is thought likely that congress
will ask for one
In any event, steps win be taken to
put the army and navy on war foot
ing on such scale ais was never be-
fore known in the history Of the coun-
try. The possibility Of averting open
hostiities appears to have vanished.
The presidents decision was based
on the tremendous demand from the
country for vengeance for the action
Of the Germans in killing Americans
and destroying American property
The chief executives course marks the
end of his constant efforts to keep the
country at peace, even with Germany,
in order that he might perform the
greater service of restoring peace rea-
son to war-mad Europe. In reaching
the conclusion to lay before congress
the grave international problem he
brought to an end his struggle for
peace not only with his advisore but
also with perhaps the most
dramatic struggle in history.
The president, it is publicly proclaim
ed, will send communication to con
gress regarding "grave matters Of ma
tional policy which should immediate
ly be taken under consideration
The impression today was that the
president and Secretary of War Baker
may confer with the war college heads
and with Senator Chamberlain regard
ing the best form of universal service
bill to urge before congress. There
will be powerful congressional pres
sure brought to bear for adopting at
once such land defense program.
