THE FOOD SITUATION

- o much is being said about
the vital need of America
this year producing her
maximum of food stuffs that
some people look upon the
propaganda for food prepared
ness as hysteria born of trying
times. Yet study of the food
situation of the world proves
that it is alarming in its grav-
ity. Here are some wheat sta
tistics compiled by competent
authorities:
The United States began the
present crop year last July
with 64,O00, 900 bushels of
wheat carried over from the
previous year.
In 1916 this country produc-
ed 482, 900, 900 bushels of win
ter wheat and 158,00O,00O
bushels of spring wheat.
The total supply for the year
was 8O4, 100000 bushels.
This year there will be prae-
tically no wheat carried over.
The governments estimate
on the winter crop forecasts a
yield of only 430,000,0OO
bushels.
On this basis the spring crop
must be 214,OOO,0O0 bushels
larger than last year to equal
the supply of the twelvemonth
just closing.
1t is highly improbable thai
there will be any such increase
in the spring crop. The only
salvation from a food shortage
much more serious than con-
fronts us now is in growing
other products to meet the
wheat deficiency by intensive
cultivation of garden tracts.
The warning nations of Eu-
rope cannot meet the food
shortage that the world faces
The European neutrals do not
raise enough grain for theil
own needs. America alone has
the resources and population
to meet the crisis. The Nation
al City Bank of New York
makes this statement:
IF we grow no more food
than we did last year-and Sc

A SUGGESTION

NNNHILE we are crying for
# every citizen to put his
back yard in garden
and watching with alarm the
mounting prices of foodstuffs,
why not consider the matter OF
opening a public market in
Pendleton. Other cities as small
as Pendleton have public
markets where producer ano
consumer may trade and elimi-
nate the profits of the middle
man. The city council and the
Commercial Association might
investigate the subject.

Thomas A. Edison in his Laboratory.

This torpedo boat was designed
principally by Sims. but was ,1ade
practical by Edison's electrical i'm.
provements. IL was controlled by
electricity and could have been de-
veloped into an efficient fighting ma

marine torpedoes made prac-

Edison suggested other ideas for
the defense of the United States. De-
clarlng that electricity was Americas

charged with 1t could protect any fort
from invasion. ,
Edison has outlined a plan for a
flying torpedo boat which could drop

These were to be small and auto

of hundreds needing, no aviator.
