tractive guaranteed price for wheat,
may be tempted to plant wheat rather
than rye in a locality where rye is the
more certain crop takes a specula-
tive risk of loss through winter kill
ing and destructive wheat diseases
which is unwarranted While no
guaranteed price for rye has been
authorized by Congress, there is every
reason to expect that the price of rye
for the next year will bear 4 salts
factory relation to that of wheat,
therefore, Justify the planting of rye
where present experience with it in
dicates its superiority.
Basis Of IncreaseA Rye Acreage
Fall sown rye should supplement
spring wheat to a considerable ex-
tent in the spring wheat belt. An
enlarged acreage of rye in addition
to the usual spring wheat sowings
will help to guarantee a plentiful sup
ply of bread grains next year. A
diaster such as that which was caused
by the combined effect of rust in the
spring wheat belt in 1916, and winter
killing in the winter wheat belt last
winter is thereby at least partially in
sured against. 1t is recommended
therefore that the acreage of rye be
increased this year in the spring wheat
sections over that sown in the fall of
1916 about 100000 acres in North
Dakota, 1900 acres in Minnesota,
$4,000 acres in Wisconsin and 5000
ac~es in South Dakota.
Rye should be sown more generally
on the sandy lands along the lakes in
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
New York and New Jersey, os an in
crease of 10000 acres is recommended
for Michigan, 10000 for Indiana and
$4,000 for New Jersey. Rye also
should take the place of many of the
old pasture and hay lands in New
York, Pennsylvania and the New Eng
land states. Rye is a safer crop than
winter wheat for such lands. Penn
sylvanla has much land more suitable
for rye than wheat, SO an increase
of 10000 acres is suggested for that
state New York is asked for only
5000 acres increase but it is thou%ht
that larger increase may be possi-
BILE in that state.
Some increases over the 1916 SOW
ings are asked for in the cotton belt.
1t is estimated that last fall there
was sown in the cotton belt about

BILLION BUSHELS OF
WHEAT NEXT YEAR

The production of over one billion
bushels of wheat and over eighty
three million bushels of rye, through
the planting of 47,337 900 acres to
winter wheat and of 5,l31 900 acres
to rye this fall, is the immediate war
agricultural program for the Nation
announced to-day by David F. Hous-
ton, Secretary of Agriculture, This
record winter wheat acreage, an in
crease of 1S per cent over last year,
would yield 672,OOO,OOO bushels if the
average yield for the past ten years
is equaled, or under repetition of the
favorable conditions of 1914 would
give 8S0,OO0,000 bushels. In either
case with spring wheat crop next
year equal to that of 1915, the Nation
will have more than one billion BUSH
els of wheat for domestic use and ex-
port.
This vastly increased production
of wheat, needed in any case, will be
absolutely essential to prevent a seri-
GUS shortage of breadstuffs next sum-
mer should the growing corn, now be-
hind the season, be much damaged by
early frost.
The program approved by the Sec,
retary of Agriculture represents the
best. thought of the U. s. Department
of Agricultural and of State agri.

of defense.
The study of this question has in,

100 900 acres of rye. 1t seems advis-
able to recommend that at least ESQ.,
900 acres of rye should be sown in the
cotton belt this year, replacing some
of the winter oat acreage.

also to enlarge considerably their rye
