FOR FOOD AND SEED
WAR EMERGENCY COMMITTEE IS
HELPING IOWA. ..,

l. N. Taylor, of this district who
attended the War Emergency Food
Committee meeting at Ames last week
says action was taken on a number
of important subjects of interest to
the farmers of Iowa.
II developed that the government
is holding In reserve here in Iowa a
large amount OF good terminating
early corn grown in the state of Del
aware, and advising the use of
small amount of this seed where other
corn is not available. II Is thought
that this corn should mature satisfac-
torily but a small amount is suggest
ed so that the crop may be used for
fodder and silHge if necessary. The
committee further recommends that
corn be used In the flooded lands If
Ii can be planted in the proper time
which would mean generally speak
ing June Is In northern Iowa and
week later in the southern counties.
FALL WHEAT.---Dr. Pearson gave
statement regarding the needs of
fall wheat for the coming season. AS
near as can be asCertained at this
time the same acreage as last year
should be sown in this country. A
DEFINITE sttement will he issued as
soon as possible by the Department
of Agriculture as to the recommends
tions on acreage. The committee
felt that publicity material should
soon be started to ask farmers to
plan their acreage at an early date so
that the ground could be prepared
and seed secured
MEAT PRODUCTION.-rMr. Hunt
who was appointed member or the
Agricultural Committee to confer
with the Department of Agriculture
regarding production problems gave
O report ON the recent conference at
Washington. He also reported that
the cattle situation is improving
greatly and that feeders seem very
willing to fill up their yards. The
hog situation however. is not so good
as the market has been unstable. The
committee was of the opinion that no
attempt should be made at this time
to adjust meat production or prices
but rather TO let the law OF supply
and demand take its course

y. 8, PLANES IN BATTLE
Eighteen De HaviIands With Liberty
Motors Make Flight.

Washington, Aug ,17,-AGeneral Per
shing yesterday advised the war de-
rartment that early in August a
squadron of eighteen De Haviland
four airplanes. built in the United
States and equipped with. Liberty
motors. successfully carried out the
first reconnaissance flight of American
built machines behind the German
lines They returned without loss.
In making this announcement. Sec
Ietary Baker said Bri2adier General
Foulois of the American air service
led the expedition. This was the first
report from General Pershing on tho
performance Of the American built De
Havilands TO be made public. Secre-
tary Baker said his advices contained
no other information except that Lieut..
Blair Thaw also was on the trip.
The announcement was considered
by officers as setting a. rest rumors
that the De Haviland muchines were
not a success and also as showing that
the Liberty motors havs now proven
themselves in actual war conditions.
Whether The squadron was attacked
vas not sia.cd, 1t would have been
well able to take care III itself. how
ever, as the machines. each carrying a
pilot and observer, are equipped with
four machine guns, as recommended
by General Pershing many months
ago
No recent figures on the production
of the De Haviland tours are available,
aAd Secretary Baker would not sane
ton discussion of shis phase of the
matter. It IS recalled, however, that
the production Of the one thousandth
machine at the plant Of the Dayton
Wright Company was recently cele-
brated. and sinc9 then another great
pant has come into quantity produc-
ton.
Ii is assumed that the squadron
mentioned is POW regularly operating
at the front, which means that large
number OF reserve and replacement
De Havilands are ready behind It.
Probably General Pershing has now al
his disposal the majority OF the craft
