 There also will be minor corrections to make. Until the official list is pub lished. however, no definite statement of probable number of revisions can be made.

 Word of the registration in Porto Rico came today from the governor, who reported that it would far exceed estimates.

plus of 17S,O0O,OOO bushels The ex- ports in twelve months were about 1S7, ,000,0G bushels and the carry over at the beginning of this month was about 40.000000 bushels, making a total of 23S,000,000 accounted for, or SO,0O0,000 more than estimated surplus.
 This excess is to be accounted for partly in reduced home consumption and partly in undertestimated supplies to start with.
 It is doubtful whether there was any important reduction in the quantity of wheat consumed. Some voluntary economy may have been practiced be- cause of high prices, and there was some saving in the later months of the year because of the reduction in the size of a loaf of bread, where people bought the same number of lOaves as formerly. The American people, how ever, have felt no real pinch that brings enforced economy, and the production of flour does not indicate any appre- ciable reduction in demand for flour

year before Scarcity of labor will make them short this year. The prob .em is serious. Patriotic Americans wish to help their country. They can best help by relieving the govern ment of this food problem. They can solve this economic crisis and benefit themselves financially and physically by planting food gardens.
 Patriotic words are empty air. Pa triotic acts alone will help. Plant a food garden and do your part toward he economic victory.
 We expect to induce more than one million young people women and elderly men this year to plant food garden who have not done so before. This alone should add much more than two hundred and fifty million dollars to the food value of this seq sons crop Those who have made such gardens before should increase their efforts

CLUBS

The following statement of Charles Lathrop Pack. president of the National Emergency Food Garden commission, will be of interest to club women who have stood staunchly behind the movement:
 The National Emergency Food Gar den commission aims to assist in mak- ing food more plentiful in villages, towns and cities by inspiring the planting of food gardens this year. This is a measure of economic pre- paredness of vital importance. It will release, in case of military neces- sity. the use of thousands of trains otherwise required to carry food; it will relieve transportation difficulties which even now cause a deficiency in food supplies: it will reduce the high cost of living.
 Hundreds of thousands of individu- als, thousands of organizations, would raise vegetables in home gardens, school gardens and vacant lots if they were aroused and if they knew how. The National Emergency Food Gar den commission will arouse them and tell them how It has secured the cooperation of hundreds of news papers which will publish daily in struction and advice on when and how and what to plant It is being assisted by thousands of city ans town officials. civic bodies and plant ing organizations.
 We face a national emergency-a food deficiency. The way to meet and overcome it is by enlisting our boys and girls and men and women to plant vegetables on any plot of ground available.
 European nations cannot supply their own needs for food they must | buy from the United States. This buying depletes our own supply Crons were short last year and the

 The outpoaring from Canada also has exceeded expectations. In twelve months Canada exported about 1S0, ,000- GOO bushels, of which probably co., 000,000 bushels was wheat carried over from the big 1915 crop.
 The United States and Canada have supplied 37S,000000 bushels of Whea. to foreign countries in the past twelve months, about 100,000,000 bushels more than the indicated surplus based on official estimates of the 1916 crODS
