ALLIES NEED FLOUR

Pozeman. Nov. .1.--The food situa-
ton of the allied countries of Europe
is far from good This is particularly
true of wheat. The United states mas
already exported the American supply
below the point Of normal consump-
ton and an additional 100000, 600
bushels must 60 TO the allies thus
winter if they are to he fed. Wheat
less meals and wheatless days must
become more common in this country
us the months pass. The only way to
have this wheat for export IS to eat
something in place of wheat III the
American home.
This was the statement Of Montana $
food administrator. Mr.. Atkinson, who
last night returned from Washington.
D. c. whore he spent several days in
conference with Herbert Hoover and
the. food administrators from other
states. At tina conference the needs
of the situation were fully gone into
and the reports from the different
sections of the United States We're
given. The pledge card campaign had
just closed and Montana's showing
WAS very good. Nh tlit AVA iEt -

were signed up while in Montana
upwards Of IS per cent of the homes
We're signed; less than half a dozen
states mad. Il better showing than
Montana.
Germany's Crops Best.
Mr.. Atkinson said that the crop con-
ditionS in Germany were rather NOR,
favorable ihan III the other countries
Of Europe this year. Germany has a
large productive country behind he1
lines. and under system, all OF the
population. as well as most of the
prisoners which have been taken in
the war, are put TO work. The croT
in France was poor. due to n late
spring, and chiefly to Il shortage o.
labor and power To put in the croi
properly, The italian crop was con
Siderably below normal. In these i've
countries the food supply is far From
satisfactory and they are depending
on America toscNport to them the sup
plies which they must have. The con
ditions in Great Britain are reasonabl
favorable SO far as food is concerned
although Great Britain is prac,icin
