WHEAT PROSPECTS NOT GOOD
Billion Bushel Yield Next Year Re-
garded an Improbability.

Washington, Dec. 1o.-Governmen
plans for a billion bushel wheat crop
next year to help the United States
feed its allies have received set
back. 1t was disclosed today by the
December crop report Of the depart
ment of agriculture that, while winter
wheat was planted on the largest
acreage ever sown to that cerial, its
condition on December was the low
est on record for that date.
A winter crop of 54o,ooo,ooo bushels
was forecast by the bureau of crop
estimates. The actual production
will be greater or less than that
quantity, according as conditions
hereafter are better or worse than av-
erage. Through great spring crop
it still is hoped to bring the years tS
tai to somewhere near the billion
mark.
An area Of more than 100000
acres was the mark set by the gov
ernment for farmers to plant to win
ter wheat this fall, but the December
canvass shows that 42,17oooo acres
we're sown.
The farmers did their best, depart
ment of agriculture officials say, but
conditions were against them. The
very dry weather in most of the win.
ter wheat belt was a large drawback,
while late harvest of other crops and
shortage OF farm help we're contrib
uting causes for the failure.
Should the winter wheat crop ma
ture to 55,oooooo bushels as fore
cast today, it would be the third larg
est on record, being exceeded only by
the crops of 1914 and 1915, Govern
ment officials had figured on having
winter wheat production reaching
67,, ,ooo,o 900 bushels, but today's fore
cast indicates that it will fall >13o,-
900. 900 bushels short of that figure.
Indications are that rye production
will be 2s,ooo,ooo bushels larger than
last years record crop.
Already steps are being taken for
large increase in the acreage OF
the spring wheat crop to be planted
next spring. Council Of national de-
fcnse and department OF agriculture
officials have conferred and will adopt
measures to insure an adequate labor
supply for planting operations, ample
supplies of seed wheat and help for
the harvests. The largest spring
wheat crop heretofore was in 1915.
when ,35I.S54ooo bushels were har-
vested from Io.ItI 900 acres.

The Honors of Atrocity.

The Sultan OF Turkey has gracious
ly conferred on the German Kaiser
the diamond star Of the Iftichar Or
der, Turkeys highest war decoration.
and the Kaiser has decorated the Sui
tan with the star and chain of the Ho-
Order with diamonds.
The honors are evcn--thc hero OF
the Belgian and Lusitania murders
honors and is honored by the hero OF
Armenian .massacrcs. No one will
question the deserving of the honors
or the respective fitness of the NIL
tual donors and recipients.
But 10 the intelligence and con-
science OF the world a Liberty Loan
button, showing that an American cit
izen has done his or her part in sup
port Of our Government, is a vastly
more honorable decoration than the
diamond orders of the Sultan and the
Kaiser. 1t signifies only simple
patriotic duty done; but the diamond
orders stand ior colossal infamy and
murder.

Eggs at "a Cents a Dozen.

Fourteen cent eggs sound unreas-
enable, especially when the retail
price of eggs has mounted gradually
during the last two or three years.
Perhaps it is not possible to produce
eggs for that price during the pres
ent winter. but that is the record
made by ten White Leghorn pullets
last year These pullets were pur-
chased November I, 1916, by H. L..
Kempster of Columbia, Mo. Only
two were old enough to lay before
January l.. At the end of seven
months, May 81, the flock had pro-
duced 74o eggs at feed cost of less
than IA cents. a dozen. The average
retail price OF eggs in Columbia dur
ing this time was not less than IS
cents a dozen. Thus. on the basis Of
that price, the hens returned labor
income OF $1.32 each.
The house in which the birds were
kept had been made of packing boxes
and was covered with roofing paper.
The actual cost Of the house not in
cluding packing boxes was $3.8s.
During the seven months the birds
ate 225 pounds OF cracked corn and
I2s pounds of mash. The mash con-
sisted of equal parts by weight of
bran, shorts, cornmeal. and beef
scrap. Oyster she'll was kept before
the hens in a can attached to the wall.
The total feed cost including one bale
of straw was $500.
Owing to the high price of feeds it
may not be possible to produce eggs
SO cheaply during the present winter.
However, Mr.. Kcmpster suggests
that the record made by these hens
was not exceptional. At any rate the
backyard poultry keeper will be able
to make. considerable saving by pro-
ducing his own eggs. Further infor-
nation concerning the backyard poul-
try flock will be found in Extension
Circular 26 of the University Of Mis-
souri, College OF Agriculture, Colum-.
bia, Mo.
