ESTIMATE IS FILED
ON COST OF DITCH

sum of $25,93169 which the govern
.ment j. expected to pay for bene-
fits to reservation lands by reason
of laterals constructed. If this
money IS not Forthcoming these
laterals will not be rut IN and this
amount will be deducted from the
above total.
According to NJ. Walkers fig
ures, the excavation work will total
1,9Os,722 cubic yards. At ten cents
per yard this amounts to $780,
S72.24 and is naturally the big item
IF expense. Clearing the right-of-
way will increase this by s2,331.69,
while 124 miles of road construction
will cost S12.976. Bridges and cul-
verts are estimated at $4,000 and
the expenses incidental to removing
old bridges and culverts is placed
at S12,953. 80. The expense of ad
ninistration, whicl; includes engin-
eers' viewers and attorneys fees,
the expense Of publication, auditors
fes and all other items connected
with the preliminary work, is esti-
mated at $4,000.
Through the construction of later
ais certain sections Of the Red Lake
reservation will be greatly benefited
by the proposed ditch and the court
has requested the Indian depart
ment to appropriate $4,000 as a
proper share for these benefits.

CLOSE BREWERIES AND

Greatest Food Shortage Since Civil
War Possible, Says Speaker at
National Conference-Increas
Flour, Beans and Pork Output
Demanded.

St. Louis-"We are entering upon
one of the greatest wars without
a reserve of food," declared Henry
j. Waters, president Of the Kansas
state agriculture college, before the
conference here today called by
Secretary Of Agriculture D. r.
Houston to consider the food sit
uation Of the nation.
Germany spent years accumulat-
ing food reserve for this emer-
gency," he continued. 'This coun-
try's visible supply Of food, how
ever, will be consumed before
another harvest. Should we have
an unfavorable season the United
States would face the greatest fooo
shortage since the civil war.
tsMore beans must be raised. Al,
,sows must be bred for fall litters
to increase the pork output and g
reserve Of corn retained to winte,
and fit the new output for the
spring market. Increased breae
output can be attained by. milling
all wheat to 81 per cent flour in
stead Of 73 per cent as now. Out
put can be increased 18,000,00(
barrels.
s"A large saving in grain suitable
for fattening livestock can be made
l:by shutting down breweries anl

annually 618,508,095 bushels O

CANADA REMOVES TARIFF
ON WHEAT AND FLOUR
Reciprocity Provision Of Democratic
Tariff Law Automatically Admits
American Wheat to Canada Free
of Duty.

Ottawa, April 16.-The Canadian
government has placed wheat,
wheat flour and Semolina on the
free list, thus opening United
States markets to Canada and Can
adian markets to the United States
in these products.
Under the reciprocal clauses of
the American tariff the United
States will admit free wheat and
wheat products of any country
which admits American wheat with
out duty. The Canadian tariff has
heretofore prevented this privilege
being availed of.
The order is due to difficulty of
export abroad owing to shortage of
ocean tonnage and the fact that
the British market has been virtu-
ally closed sffor Canadian wheat of
lower grade.
The duties removed are l cents a
bushel on wheat and As cents a bar
rel on flour.
Will Aid Dominion.
Washington, April. 16.-Canada's s
order, today putting wheat: and
wheat products On the free list will
be decidedly to the advantage of
dominion producers, officials here
! said tonight. The American duty
on imports of Canadian wheat will
disappear automatically, and if the
American crop is short, the United
States may become good market
for the Canadian production.
Officials here believe Canada
could have profted long ago by q
reciprocal arrangement for free
wheat. Coming at this time, they
feel the Canadian action was in
spired by the fact that the United
States IS now an ally Of the British
government and that the move will!
be for the common good. Ameri,
can wheat is going to England IL
large quantities.
For the present, it is not believed
the order will have practical effect
as Canada's visible supply is as
short as this country's.

in meeting war conditions and the
worlds food shortage, organized at

cognized as that CT a larger acre

Labor Must Be Organized.
To provide for an increased
wheat acreage labor must be pro

remain for the seeding of wheat.
Every town in wheat-growine
regions is urged by the committee
on food production to organize 81
