AMERICAS WHEAT
TRADE.

Striking changes that have tax.
Ell place in movements of wheat
to and from the United States
since the war In Europe are shown
III figures co.lec;ed by the U. 5
Food Administration. Ouc total
exports of wheat for the year end
lug June 80. 1917, show an in
crease of 7S,45l, O3G bushels or
c,ose TO 10 per cent over the pre-
war average.
An astonishing large increase in
imports, especially from Canada,
Is shown; but the excess of ex
ports for the past year amounts to
over 100000 bushels, tqni' al
ent to about half a bushel Of
wheat from every man, woman
and child ia this country.
The destination of this wheat ia
also interesting. The central Pow
eis have received practically 10
wheat from the United States
since 1915 Before the war Ger
many received liz per cent Of our
total exports. Shipments Of wheat
from this country to Greece have
Increased over 400 fold and Swift
zerlaDd, which before the war re
ceiveG no United States wheat,
imported from us last year over
one third as mnch a. fOrmeIIy
went to Germany.
Economy in the use OF wheat
here in America has helped to
make the large exports possible,
but with the gradual depletion OF
food supplies in Europe still
greater economy of wheat at home,
together with a large 1918 crop,
are essential for the success of the
Allies cause.
Thus in preparing for a Dew
year we have these facts of vital
Importance to American farmers.
Our wheat must be exported on
huge scale: it goes to our own
troops, to our Allies and to neu-
trails which are in need, and wheth.
err peace comes or not, the United
States Government guarantees
price of ~ 90 q bnshel for the
1918 crop at primary interior mar
kets. With such inducements II
addition to patriotic motives
American farmers are expected tt
produce a wheat crop next year Of
hitherto unrivalled proportions.

RED CROSS NOTES.

Iberia Chapter has shown niucha cti-
witty during the past week. On last
Saturday shipment of surgical sup
plies number ring over 1900 was ship
ped to the New Orleans supply de-
partment, this shipment had % per
cent supply OF every thing necessary
for the furnishing of a base hospital.
1t was the plan originally of the chap
ter to furnish 4 base hospital complete
with surgical supplies and hospital
garments but we have had to make
some few changes on account of the
large part we are taking so soon, in
helping to put the Kaiser 'out of
business" These articles were start
ed on July %, and made by an aver
age of IL workers We want now to
say that about FIVE regular workers
were always present from the Island
SO this reduces the average among
our town ladies to about l2in this de-
partment. We owe great thanks TO
Mrs. Avery and the other ladies from
the Island who came in during all the
long summer when it was hot and dus-
ty to help make these dressings when
some of us thought it too hot to go a
few blocks in town. The chairman
wants also to publicly thank again
good Father Langlois and the Knights
of Columbus, who gave up their only
comfortable room in the college that
we might have cool place to work.
We would like to say here that we
work now IN the Masonic building
third floor on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday from to 5 O'Clock IN the
afternoon and let us not forget that a

shit its workers from one department

Before we close we would like to
say to the friends of Mother Augustine
that We paid her a delightful visit
last Saturday and with the same big
heart she always displayed she had a
number. OF ladies of the town to meet
us and talk Red Cross. They have
just begun and from indications Will

Max Harden, one of the most
brilliant and best posted editors in
Germany, at the outset of the
European war, said: Let US, that
is the Germans, own up to it: We
have started this war. Recently
Dr. Rathenau, an influential Ger
man business said: We have start.
ed this war a year too soon. Now
here are two authorities who have
the moral backbone and courage
to admit that Germany started the
war. And yet you will find
muckleheads, who came to this
country to escape the very things
which they uphold here, denying
that such is the case.
The population Of Germany has
been inc. i.S tremendously since
the Franco i'russisn wal and her
diplomats and university profess
sors bad it figured ont 40 years a
90 that about the year 1915 her
population will be so numerous
that something will have to be
done in the way of acquiring new
lauds and colonies. That explains
why Germany had been preparing
in q military way for this struggle
40 years ago. Germany also knew
that other countries. aud especi-
ally England has most of the earth
under her domination and the Ger
mau government did not hesitate
ut the beginning of the war to say,
that since England acquired her
possessions by the might of the
sword, she will have to defend
them in like manner. All of this
means and explains why Germany
started the war and why it de-
maudcd her place in the sun.
1t was not necessary for Ger
many to resort to war to get the
world under her influence, not at
all, not at all; but her scientists
aud her inventors and her teach
ers were already influencing and
