PRODUCTION Of

MOST NECESSARY
Government official Declares
American Farmer Should
Cultivate Every Possible
Acre This Year.

Washington, March 26.-Govern-
ment officials look upon the speeding
up of the foodstuffs production in the
United States as one Of the most i'm
pOrtant means of assisting in the war
against Germany. should the United
States take an active part
"Of the most important two things
that this country could do for its al
lies in case of War--namely to finance
and to feed, perhaps the more import
ant is to maintain a steady flow of
foodstuffs to their shores" says an
authorized statement by Assistant Sec
retary Nrooman of the department of
agriculture. 1t looks, the statement
adds as though it would be a good
business stroke for the farmer this
spring to sow his normal oats acreage
to spring wheat and lit is certain that
it would he a valuable step toward
national agricultural preparedness"
Since the policy of stimulating food
production would have to be supple
mented by a policy guaranteeing the
farmer against loss due to possible
reproduction, the department holds
that congress alone can deal with this
question effectively although the de-
partment can do something toward
speeding up production within certain
limits

IF the railroad rates had increased
