Allowing 275,000, 900 bushels for the
spring wheat crop and 460,O00,0 900 for
the winter wheat. the country will
have total of 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat. The carryover from the last
crop is conservatively estimated by
statisticians at $4,000, 900 bushels. This
added to this seasons crop gives the
country 100000, 900 bushels.
Y. s. Needs $50, O00, 900 Bushels.
Under normal conditions, require
ments for bread in the United States
are estimated at $4,000, 900 bushels of
wheat. This Is more than the actual
consumption, but includes the waste
that Is always present during years of
plenty. Therefore, because of the high
price and the effort on every side
toward strict economy, it may con-
servatively be estimated that the con-
sumption OF wheat this year in the
United States will not exceed 800, 000,-
600 bushels. To this should be added
100000 for seed next fall and in the
spring Of 1918. In addition an allow
ance Of 100000 should be made for
wheat that is likely to still be on the
farm a year from now as a result of
dissemination on the part of farmers
to sell their wheat to the last bushel
Probably never but once or twice in
recent years have the farmers in the
important wheat growing states sold
down almost to the bottom Of their
bins. At any rate, an allowance of
50;000,000 bushels that will not be
marketed during the next IL months
will be on the safe side.
10000, 900 Bushels for Allies.
These totals give a grand total of
620,000,000 bushels OF wheat that will
be consumed, used for seed and kept
off the market during the next IL
months. With crop OF 100000, 1000,
this leaves a safe surplus of 140, 900, 900
bushels that can be spared for ship
ment to our allies. 1t may be that we
can spare 100000 more, but that
will be matter for the future to dis
close.

Nevertheless. he acknowledged their

obstacle to peace was the domination
of German policy by the autocratic

antiquated and reactionary system OF
administration, and saw little hope OF
ending the war until measures had
been taken to eliminate these maltgn
influences by a real characterization

ARIZONA CHAPTER
URGES THE WORK
OF PRISONERS

The Arizona Chapter of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress in urging the
employment of city and county pris-
oners on the roads of the state as
auxiliary forces to state prison labor,
points to the fact that Cochise county
supervisors and County Engineer J.
c. Ryan have, during the last two
years employed county prisoners at
considerably less cost than free labor
would have entailed. There has been
the added advantages that the free la
Dor which otherwise would have been
employed has been enabled to engage
at work of productive importance and
higher pay in the mines. The cost of
its prison labor to Cochise county in
October, an average month, was S1.6S
the day per man, exclusive OF idle days
by reason of sickness and all other
cuases. Including idle days the cost
was brought to 1920 This covers ev-
cry item of expense connected with
operation of the county prison road
camp and work, foremen, tools, trans
portation, guards, foods, medical at
tendance and all else. The least
wage considered by free labor is $3.50
the day. Taxpayers in coun les which
do not work their prisoners on the
roads are out the difference in the
cost of the labor, food and keep with
which they provide prisoners in their
jails. The Arizona Chapter organiZa-
ton is urging that greater effort is now
advisable to put the main roads in the
state in first class condition Particu-
larly for heavy truck traffic which war
emergencies may make vitality neces-
sary at any time. This is emphasized
in recent federal announcement that
railroad transportation of freight is to
be assisted by the organization of mo-
tor truck auxiliary service. The Arizo
ma Chapter has proposed that the Goun
ty engineers and supervisors and the
state engineer cooperate with city,
county and state prisoners to place

BRITISH SAILOR IS
NOW GIVEN UNIFORM

LONDON, Nov. BY the grant
of free uniform and kit to the enlisted
men of the navy, the British sailor
obtains a concession which he has
long sought and which has been the
subject of hundreds of petitions sent
from the lower deck to the admiralty.
The British sailor always deemed it
a great injustice that. while the sol
purchased by the state. he must pur-
chase his own clothing out of his
small pay. What annoyed him still
more was that although he had to pay.
his superiors often ordered the clothes
at their own pleasure. poor Jack hav-
ing no voice in the matter.
In the early days of the British
navy each captain was permitted to
dress his crew to suit his own fancy.
This custom did not wholly cease
when a regulation uniform made its
appearance, for different captains had
different ideas of what constituted
uniform" with the result that sail
or when transferred to a new ship
often had to purchase several new
items OF clothing.
Although British blueiacket's uni
form appears very simple. the official
list shows that he has about 100 diff
ferent articles in his wardrobe. all Of
which he has heretofore had to buy
himself. Henceforth his entire outfit
will be issued to him at government
expense.
