Washington, d. c., Aug. 9.-The
production OF over one billion bush
els of wheat and over eighty-three
million bushels of rye, through the
planting OF 47,337,OO0 acres ia
winter wheat and of 5,131, 900 acres
to rye this fall, is the immediate wa.
agricultural program for the nation
announced today by David +. Huston
secretary of agriculture. This re-.
ord winter wheat acreage, an increase
OF IS per cent over last year, would
yield 672,000.000 bushels IL the av-
erage yield for the past ten years is
equaled, or under a repetition of the
favorable conditions of 1914 would
give SS0,0O0,OO0 bushels. In either
case with spring wheat crop next
year equal to that of 1915, the ma
ton will have more than one billion
bushels Of wheat for domestic use
and export.
This vastly increased production
OF wheat, needed in any case, will be
absolutely essential to prevent a seri-
GUS shortage OF breadstuffs next sum-
mer should the growing corn, now be-
hind the season, be much damaged
by early frosts.
The program approved by the sec
rotary OF agriculture represents the
best thought of the U. s. department
of agriculture and the state agricul-
tural officials and state councils Of
defense.
The study Of this question has in
volved many factors and the speci-
alists have been aware from the
first that the demands for wheat
may exceed the supply next year.
Effort therefore has been made to
recommend in each state about as
large an acreage in wheat and rye
as can be sown without upsetting
proper farm practice, which must he
maintained in the interest Of wheat
and rye crops this and succeeding
years, as we'll as in the interest OF
other necessary spring planted crops

New York, Aug. 9.-What are the
chances OF an attack by Germany
from the sea or from the air on New
York?
Germany does not want to attack
America nor fight America unless
absolutely forced to do it, That
sums up popular sentiment in Ger
many as l found 1t. Apparently, it
also represents at least a portion of
the sentiment in official quarters.
Hindenburg told me that Ludendorf
repeated 1t, and It certainly is. or at
least was, the viewpoint of Baron Won
Kueplmann, the new secretary Of
foreign affairs. Deducing from that.
and IL II can be relied upon, the
chances OF a submarine attack on
New York, most certainly in the next
few months. would seem small. An
attack from the air is wholly out
OF the question. Germany has no
airship today, neither Zeppelin nor
the new Schuette-Lanz crafts. large
enough TO carry a cargo OF bombs
across the Atlantic.
After the U-53 incident, the gov
eminent issued positive orders to the
admiralty to keep away from the
American coast. After the declara-
ton of war by Congress this attitude
of the chancellor and the foreign Of
flee was reaffirmed. Bernstorff
worked up all the liberal elements
in and outside of the reichstag TO
bring all possible pressure to bear
upon the government and military
and naval people TO adopt an atti'
tude of utmost passiyity toward the
United States.
Don't irritate America" was
Bernstorff's warning.
This policy was adopted. 1t was
dictated by the belief that anything
Germany could do against Americs
in a military sense would tend only
TO arouse and inflame this country

gotiations must come and will come

BILLION BUSHELS OF
WHEAT NEXT YEAR

, duction of 672 million bushels, which
exceeds all previous winter whea,
crops harvested in the United States
with the exception of the crops oil
1914 and 1915 when the acreagee
harvested and yields per acre were
both above normal.
| II the extremely favorable condi-
lions, under which the winter wheat
crop OF 1914 was grown. are again
experienced, the yield Of winter
wheat next year will be 8S0,000.00O
bushels or by far the largest winter
wheat crop ever produced and even
larger than the total Of both winter
and spring wheat crops for all past
years except two.
It is too early to determine the
area which should be sown to wheat
next year, but II this is equal to that
sown in the spring of 1917, or 10 mil
lion acres, and the yield is up to
the average OF the last ten years.
crop Of PSI, 100000 bushels of
spring wheat will be harvested, and
IL the yield per acre should equal
that obtained in 1915 the crop will
be $50 million bushels, the same as
the greatest spring wheat crop ever
produced. Thus, with no increase in
the spring wheat acreage but with
IS per cent increase over the 1916
winter wheat sowings planned for
this fall, the total wheat crop next
year will be more than one billion
bushels. OF the crop meets with slight
ly better than 10-year average con-
ditions. With extremely favorable
conditions. such as were experienced
by the winter crop in 1914 and tho
spring wheat crop in 1915, the total
yield would amount to one and one
quarter billion bushels. A 10-per
cent increase in spring wheat acreage
with favorable growing conditions
would add another 30,00O,00O bush
els. The figures quoted above are
based upon winter killing Of 9 per
cent and yields per acre Of 1875 bush
els for winter wheat and 1872 bush
els for spring wheat, the averages for
the last ten years. and yield per
acre in 1914 Of 10 bushels of winter
wheat. and 1874 bushels of spring
wheat in 1915.

which are not discussed in detail at
this time as they are not food crops
in which a marked shortage exists.
The estimates, the department
states, are made with the knowledge
that there Is some shortage Of the
fertilizer supply but with the under
standing that there will be no gen.
eral shortage in the supply Of seed
or of farm machinery which is nee
essary in the production of the wheat
crop. 1t is understood also that am
pie transportation facilities will be
provided and a fair price OF wheat
will be established. These factors
have been assumed as fixed and sat
isfactory. If any one or more fail
to be adjusted in good time. no per-
son can tell how serious will be the
effect on the total crop.
The planting and cultivation OF
these increased acreages of fall-sown
grains calls for universal effort Oh
the part of the farmers. Plans to
place at the disposal of farmers all
assistance possible. are being perfect
ed in the U. S. department Of agri-
culture, the state colleges of agricuI-
ture, and other state and local agen-
cies which cooperate in farming mat
tiers. The assistance of successful
growers OF wheat and rye in a cam
paign to turn out bumper crops In
1918 is assured.
The state officials will do their
utmost to get the acreages expected
OF their states into the ground. The
program is originally worked out by
the federal department of agriculture
called for somewhat more than A.
100000 acres to be sown this fall.
When the proposal was presented 70
the officials Of the several states a
further increase was considered pos
sible and desirable by them. As
consequence the recommendation for
the sowing Of 47,337,000 acres is
made.

partment's recommendations regard

pointed out that prices are too high.

that this price is too high and that
coal can be sold at a much lower
figure and still leave a handsome
profit for the producer.
