lands have been cultivated for a thou sand years or more.
 Were MT. Hill alive now he would take pleasure in listening to reports which were brought to New York today which tell of wheat cultivation this year in Oklahoma and Kansas. These reports were made by men who are competent to give excellent judgment and who have recently visited the Oklahoma and Kan sas wheat fields. Never was there such a crop of wheat ready for the harvesting machines as the soil of Kansas and Okla hcma wheat fields. Never was there such crop of wheat ready for the har- vestng machines as the soil of Kansas and Oklahoma is now providing. This is partly due to favorable climatic cond- ticns. Rain has been plentiful, but not excessive. Furthermore the farmers are mastering the science of wheat cultiva- tion so that with favorable climate and With the most highly developed methods of cultivation the farmers of Kansas and Oklahoma are to be able to harvest on an average 5G bushels of wheat per acre. Heretofore 30 bushels has been the maxi mum of wheat production in the Kansas and Oklahoma wheat belt.
 1t is safe to report, these men say, that the most plentiful wheat harvest ever secured in the Kansas and Oklahoma wheat belt is speedily to be garnered. Practically all climatic danger is past. The wheat is ripe and is ready for the machines. Cutting is already begun and pi obably by the first of July of per haps q few days later the authorities at Washington will be able to report that the Kahsas and Oklahoma wheat fields have yielded harvest aggregating sev- eral hundred million bushels.
 PROMISE OF HARVEST
 These reports from the Kansas and Oklahoma wheat belts, supplementing as they do favorable reports which reached New. York on Monday of last week from the northwest, tend to confirm the belief that the wheat harvest of this year in this country may reach possibly as much az q billion bushels.
 The surface of the Oklahoma and Kan sas wheat belts or few inches below the surface is in this way yielding new wealth which will amount to millions and at the same time is serving to relieve the apprehension that we may be unable to provide a sufficient amount of wheat for our soldiers and our allies.
 Tt addition there Is the extraordinary circumstance that far beneath the soil as much as two thousand feet, in some cases even a thousand feet more, there q re now known to be enormous pools of oil and these will be availed of/~ There fore. while the farmers are garnering wheat their neighbors will be securing oil and in that way some apprehension less there he a shortage of oil may be removed.

SOCIALISTS WANT
IMMEDIATE PEACE
Proclamation Demands Labor
Representation at Con-
ference of Nations.

Chicago. Feb. 9~-In a proclamation
addressed to the people Of the United
States today. the national executive
committee of the Socialist party de :
clared that two problems should now
engage the energy and ability of the
working class:
First. an immediate and democratic
peace with full representation OF the
working class at the peace confer
enco. ... . .-.
Second the reconstruction which
must Immediately follow upon the
close of hostilities."
The declaration Of President Wilson
in favor of open covenants of peace
was approved and the making public
OF oil existing treaties was demanded.
The proclamation also urged racial
independence for large and small ma :
tions. freedom Of the seas. nentraliza-
ton of the greater bodies Of water and
the destruction of fortresscs. which
threaten navigation.
"Withinaa few months" the procla e
matte added, the war has threatened
the civil and political freedom of our
country. In the violation Of the con-
stitution free sssembiage has been de-
ried, meetings been dissolved, mob vio
speech has been suppressed, mob vio-
lence has been encouraged and a vast
army of paid secret service agents
operating as detectives and spies has
been foisted upon us.

our own country, which purports to be
fighting for democracy. should Itself
become democratic. At present, 1t Is
one OF the least democratic of all coun-
tries"
The proclamation urged the public
ownership Of national industry.
