WHEAT CROP IN
GOOD CONDITION
According to Minneapolis
Grain and Elevator Men
Just Returned From In
spection Tour.
(By the Associated Press3

Minneapolis, May a. Crops
planted over the largest acreage in
the history of the Northwest today
are in ideal condition, according to
a group of Minneapolis grain and ele-
vator men who returned today after
an inspection trip. A sufficient
amount of moisture has fallen
throughout the territory this spring
it is said, and the entire crop with
reasonably cool weather will grow
normally until June l 5 without more
rain. The big acreage increases win
be in food crops other than wheat.
The acreage in wheat now all seed
ed; much of it is above the ground
and looking fine will be slightly in
excess of last year. Montana and
parts of North Dakota and a few sec
tions in Minnesota and South Dakota
will show wheat acreage gains.
Corn, oats, rye and barley show
large gains in acreage planted.
North Dakota will double it's own
acreage and will have the biggest
corn and oats crop ever known, ac-
cording to reports.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern main lines from Minneapo-
lis to North Dakota and across that
state never looked better, the mes
sage said. The 500 Line from Valley
City to Portal is the color Of green
velvet and the wheat line from Thief
River Falls, Minn., to Kenmare. N.
D., is in like condition.

u. S. WILL NOT

MEXICO into WAR
Retiring Mexican Minister Of
War Says Country Could
Give No Effective Aid.
(By the Associated Press>

Mexico City, May 22.-It was in
dicated here today that thoro un-
derstanding existed among govern
ment officials that the United States
had not and would not exercise pres
sure to force Mexico to take sides in
the war.
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, who recently
resigned as minister of war, explain
ed today the reason which prompted
Mexico to endeavor to maintain ab-
solute neutrality during the war. Az
a farewell dinner before his depart
ure tomorrow for Sonora, he said
Mexico's self-respect called for this
policy. Even If Mexico joined in the
war, he said, she could give no effec-
tive aid. She could furnish neither,
men, ships, supplies or money. I'm
der such conditions Mexico could not
with self-respect, enter the war un-
less forced to do so and certainly
not merely for the sake of gain.

able figures indicate that for human
food it would take about LOG lbs. Of
80 per cent extraction flour to be-
equivalent to 100 lbs. of regular
white -four.
From an economic standpoint the
idea of forcing the use Of 80 per
cent extraction flour is thoroly bad.
AS a practical proposition 1t would
create a tremendous disturbance
both in the human food and in the
millfeed supply. As to its effect on
the miller-it would. of course, de-
stroy the results of his millions OF
dollars and years of effort spent In
advertising and building up his:
-four brands.
Therefore, the compulsion Of SO
per cent extraction in wheat -four
would seem unnecessary and unwtses
until such time as actual famine con-s
dittons or food shortage would COM
pei the use for human food Of all
food or feed supplies regardlesss sofs
