Appointment of Minister of
Subsistence in Austria Ap-
pIauded by the People.
FOOD SUPPLIES HOARDED

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
! VIENNA, February 20.-The recent
appointment by Emperor Charles of n
minister of public subsistence, in the
person OF Maj Gen. Anton Hoefor,
formerly member of the general staff,
and known as an expert IN army sub
sistence matters. has, according to the
universal belief here, been the best
measure yet adopted to meet the con-
! standy Increasing food problems.
Though already in the care OF a central
| food bureau and subject of many gov
ernment regulations, public subsistence
in Austria threatened to become a
hopeless chaos because the men
charged with it's administration lacked
the necessary ability.
The new powers charged with public
subsistence matters have set up, and
in part already enforced, a rev pro-
gram, most of whose aspects are de-
cidcdly military. rs was suggested by
the training and experience OF Mai;
Gen. Hoefer. 1t is felt that the food
problems win be near final solution on
the day on which 1t will be impossible
to suppress all private sales to con-
sumerS- transactions carried on IN dc
flance of the law and total disregard
Of maximum price regulations. Persons
willing to buy at q rate tar above the
maximum price have been abio to get
food i'll unlimited quantities at the eX-
peuse of the small consumer, who must
look upon maximum prices as the sole
means OF getting food al reasonable
cost under present conditions. The
effect of this has been that the con-
sunier willing to pay the price has been
able to get all the food he wanted,
while the poor man, often after stand
ing in line for hours, has been turned
away empty-handed.

Plan of New Administration.

lStraIlOn TO proceed against TINS pittG-
tice with all the severity the law per-
mits. In the past this has not been
possible. The Vienna public is ex-
tremeIy good-natured and averse to the
role of informer or police spy, Il fact
which has been exploited by those with
means and the storekeepers. But even
the patience of the small consumer Ill
Austria has a limit, it seems, and court
records OF recent weeks show that
greater number of food law trans
gressions are being reported. In dis
posing of these cases the courts have
shown no mercy, and an appeal has
generally had tho surprising result of
punishments being increased. Thus
dealer in foodstuffs. sentenced to. i'm
prisonment for three weeks and f1ne
Of 200 crowns, augmented his punish
ment to Imprisonment for three
months and q fine of 1000 crowns by
having his case reviewed by the ap-
peal senate, which body found that the
lower court had been altogether too
lenient.
Despite this usury in food prices con-
tinues, evidence of the fact that defy
ing food regulations is highly profitable.
So great seems to be the lure OF making
money of general misfortune that
nothing sufiices to check it, as was
shown already over a century ago,
when the French revolutionary govern
ment made usury in food sales cap
ital crime. and was obliged to execute
a goodly number of shopkeepers.
Much OF the food bought at private
sales and delivered clandestinely is not
intended for immediate consumption.
1t Is stored. There are thousands of
families in Vienna who have on hand,
stored in cellar and garrct. lockers and
chests, food staples for two years. For
the sake of appearances, and in order
not TO use up their hoard, the same
families meet their present daily need
in the open market. increasing in this
manner the daily general consumption
to the extent In which they buy for
boarding. only those with means
enough can afford this. so that the
shortage due to the practice falls al
together upon the poorer classes.

BUMPER CROP
NEED OF 1917
Prominent Banker Tells Farmers
that Great Preparations Are
National Duty.

A. I. Hunter. president of the First
National bank, being asked what ad-
vice or suggestio1s he had to give the
farmers this spring. replies:
Delicate Subject.
II realize this is very delicate
subject; much good advice has been
lost because given as such to the
North Dakota farmer. Often they re-
sent it, probably because of its appar-
ent inexhaustible quantity. However.
l have always found the farmers In
terested in suggestions and willing to
cooperate with those having prac-
tical knowledge Of the subject. In
these fateful times, surrounded as we
are with abnormal conditions. it does
seem to me the farmers of orth Da-
kota and the United States have most
responsible and unusual duties to per-
form. In the planting season. ras.
approaching. we in North Dakota,
with such unlimited possibilities of
production. owe it to ourselves anc
possible. The world needs the food
and we can use the money. 1t is be-
yond human power to forecast even
the immediate future, and knowing
that all wealth comes from the soil.
it certainly is our plain duty to coax
from the soil in 1917 all that nature
will permit. Our financial condition

doing.
In Farmers Hands.
"Our military and naval condition
is receiving the attention of our most
able statesmen, and now I "nr /:
to leave the balance Of this great pro-
gram of preparedness in the hanCs OF
our farmers. hoping each and everN
one, fully realizes his obligation as
we'll as his opportunity. We are not
sure of high prices this fall for all
our crops in North Dakota, but arter
carefully reviewing the situation we
can reasonably expect fair prices with
possibility Of the present abnormaf
prices being even exceeded. While
the winter wheat acreage Of the Uni
ted States Is more than last year the
government report conditions poor.
Our total wheat crop for 1916 was six
hundred forty millions. while in 1915
it was over one billion. with five
ty-eight million. We carried over
from 1915 one hundred sixty-four
millions, making available from 1916
crop eight hundred four million
bushels. Our normal domestic needs
for food, seed and reserve is about
! SIX hundred forty-Hve m1lllOnS With
out any exports. This would leave
US only one hundred f1fty-nine million
for export in 1917. against exports
of three hundred thirtv-two mi'''"~s
in 1915 and two hundred forty-three
millions in 1916, and all wheat " =

the reports are very unfav6rable. Pre-
dictions now only warrant about thir-

ply in 1914, with small production
since, is being gradually absorbed,
with none available for export yet.
