Former Secretary of War Stmson was also

of this stolid and self-ccntcred district.
Sir Horace Piunke.t, the Irish agricuturst. came
all the way from England for the same purpose.
Reading the New York papers showed how the east
felt about the But the great west was not
aroused
Admiral Peary came and told to wake up and
went away again. The inert west was not coming

SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL %, 1916.
THE FOOD SITUATION.

The National City Bank of New York has issued
bulletin to It's customers and tho public at large
in which the food situation very clearly set forth.
The figures given in this bulletin show that the
United States entered the present crop year last July
with ls 100000 bushels of wheat carried over from
the crop of 1915 and in 1916 produced 4s2,ooo,ooo
bushels of winter wheat and l5s,00o,oO0 bushels of
spring wheat; total supply, so4ooo,ooo. This year
there will be practically wheat carried over and
the governments estimate upon the winter crop
forecasts a yield of only 100000 bushels
On this basis the spring wheat crop must be
24oo0ooo bushels larger than last in order to
give us a wheat supply equal to what we will export
and consume in the crop year now closing. This
situation is which very close to the point
where it should bc considered as alarming. Spring
wheat is much liable to suffer from weather
conditions and 1t is question If enough can be bar
vested to supply the demand which is larger than
before.
Intensive cultivation of garden tracts within and
adjacent cities and the growing of other crops in
larger proportion than before is the only posi-
bic solution to question as by the directors
of this great financial institution.
This brings us to Secretary Houston's commune
cation to the senate in which he asks for the power
necessary supervise the food situation In the coun
try and sufficiently large appropriation to make
this supervision effective The secretary also asks
that the Council of National Defense may in an
emergency fix minimum and ma Xmum prices. also
that the investigation of food in storage be con-
tinucd.
In times like the present facts than likely
to be exaggerated and this must be taken into
sidcration in connection with the accounts Of tho
amount of food which spectators have stored in
various cities of the United States. There is nc
doubt, however that in many Instances tho desire
gain has and will offset amount of influence
save that wonderful stmuIant to patriotism--fint
and imprisonment
The food situation is as important as the military
and just a great efficiency and rigid control arc
necessary. Tho department of agriculture Shoul,
lac given sufficient power that it can enforce it:
rulings and act emergencies may dictate.
