group of historical figures of lesser
note made their appearance in Wash

scented this week.
Though Albert Phillips, as Napoleon.

entertaining and rose to the emotional

1t is evident that the authors of the
play took liberties with historical facts.

HOUSTON ASKS FOR
MORE SPRING WHEAT
Agriculture Secretary Fears
Shortage From Winter
Killing.

WASHINGTON. April 17.-Farm-
erB of the spring wheat belt. particu-
larly those of North Dakota, Mime
sofa, South. Dakota, Washington.
Montana and Idaho, were called upon
by Secretary Houston today to plant
more wheat Immediately.
A serious shortage is threatened by
the unpromising condition of the
winter wheat crop.
Action at once is imperative, said
the secretary. and the best opportuni-
ties win be found in the regions in
which spring wheat already is pro-
duced extensively.
ATTEMPTS to increase the acreage
of spring wheat outside the present
spring wheat belt, on the other hand,
might prove less successful because
of lack of familiarity by farmers
with the crop" continued the state
ment. s'and especially because of the
difficulty of obtaining harvesting ma
chinery and the added likelihood OF
the crop suffering for a lack Of la
Dor at harvest time. A concentration
of large crop production will make
possible the more efficient utilization
of labor. whether the 1aborers assem-.
BILE individually or under a directing
agency.
THE bulk of the spring wheat of
the United states is grown in five
states: North Dakota. Minnesota.
South Dakota, Washington and Mon
tana- While production is relatively
small in the remaining states. num-
ber of communities exist in each of
these states in which the growing of
spring wheat is well established.
Such communities, like those in the
principal spring wheat growing
states. offer good fields for the ex-
tension of the spring wheat acreage.
Seeding is already under way
throughout the greater portion of the
spring wheat belt. but in many Sec
tions it should be possible to increase
the area seeded to wheat
during the next few weekks. Where
such increase would interfere with
the conduct of an established indus
try. such as dairying. it would, of
course, be inadvisable."

early in the season, accepting it as
"middling' without examination, and
then begin grading or classing later
in the season. The explanation is
that early in the season a very large
part Of the cotton is better than mid
ding, and the grower should have an
extra premium for it. This extra
premium Mr.. Buyer pockets. and says
never a word about there being grades
above middling. But later in the
season when poorer grades of cotton
are coming in, the buyer uses very
rigid grading or CHASING, and the
farmer is sure to find out that there
are grades below midding even if he
never finds out that there arc grades
above ; middling.-The Progressive
