cumulations are sent to the smelter
and regarded as an asset.

Shows That the Killing of Wheat
May Result In an Actual Food
Shortage That Must Be other

Washington, ID. c., April 1.-THE
Secretary of Agriculture issued the
following statement:
"The importance to the nation OF
a generously adequate food supply for
the coming year cannot be overem-
the coming year cannot be over en-
phasized in view of the economic
problem which may arise as result
of the entrance of the United States
into war. Every effort should be
made to produce more crops than are
needed for our own requirements.
Many millions of people across the
seas, as well as our own people, must
rely in arge part upon the products
of our fields and ranges. This situa-
ton will continue to exist even
though hostilities should end unex-
pectedly soon. since European pro-
duction cannot be restored immedi-
ately to its normal basis. Recogni-
ton OF the fact that the world at
large, as well as our own consumers,
must rely more strongly on American
farmers this year than ever before
should encourage them to strive TO
the utmost to meet these urgent
needs

INCREASE YIELDS OF
STAPLE CROPS

1T is obvious that the greatest and
most important service that is re-
quired of our agriculture under ex-
listing conditions in an enlarged pro-
duction of the food crops.
Because of the shortage of such
crops practically throughout the
world there is no risk in the near
future of excessive production such
as sometimes has resulted in unre
munerative prices to producers. This
is particularly true of the cereals and
of peas. beans, cowpeas, soy beans
and buckwheat. In view of the
world scarcity of food, there is hard
ly possibility that the production OF
these crops by the farmers of the
United States can be too great this
year, and there is abundant reason tc

THE most effective step that may
be taken to increase the production
of these crops is to enlarge the acre.
age devoted to them in the regions
where they are grown habitually.
This expansion of acreage should be
TO the limit permitted by available
good seed. labor, and equipment. The
placing of too great emphasis on pro-
duction in new regions is inadvisable
since the introduction into a farm

mean a material reduction in the sup
plies of our most important bread ce-
real Where winter wheat has been
damaged sufficiently to justify the
abandonment of fields. it should by
all means be replaced by spring-plant-
ed food crops. preferably small grains
or corn. The acreage of winter
wheat seeded asst fall is estimated at
4O,OS0.0O0, or only per cent above
that of the preceding year (39,203, 900
acres). and about one-eighth more
than the average for the preceding
five-year period (35,724,0OO). The
condition of this crop. as shown by
the department in its report of April
4 is more than % per cent below
the average condition April l for the
past 10 years. This condition fore.
casts production this year nearly
