through Ine press anu at pun
lie meetings concerning the
advisability of producing more
beef cattle and sowing less
acreage of wheat in Australia.
Owing to the large yield of
wheat during the last three
years. and the difficulty of 3D.
tanning tonnage to ship it, a
number of prominent men and
officials are advocating the in
creased production of beef cat
tie, taking the position that
there will be an increased de-
mand for beef, and that it can
be more advantageously ship
ped in the future than wheat,
especially after the war.
In support of their claim
they have quoted figures show
ing that the net decrease in
the worlds producing flocks
and herds is as follows. Cattle,
100000; sheep, 81, ,500,-
900; and pigs, SO, ,425, 900.
In further support of the
plan it is argued that owing to
the distance of Australia from
the-European wheat markets,
it will not be able to compete
successfully after the war
against wheat exported from
the United States, Russia, Ca
NADIA or South Africa. The
utilization of byproducts, such
as hides and tallow, is another
argument in favor of produc-
ton of meat against wheat.
The total export of wheat
from the Commonwealth of
Australia since the organiza-
ton of the wheat board up to
December 81, 1917, was 1O9,-
I177,188 bushels. Other sales
made by the wheat board, such
as to local miIlers, other states
in the commonwealth, and for
manufacture of wheat into
flour for the far eastern mar
kets amounted to 5000, ,674
bushels. The estimated new
crop, that is, for 1917-18, is
lis, 100000 bushels. There
was on hand up to December
81, 1917, old wheat amounting
to 11S,812,5O0 bushels, on a
part of which the wheat board
has advanced As. (97 cents)
per bushel, and 3s. (72 cents)
per bushel on the balance,
making an average advance of
about 3s, I'd. (87 cents) per
bushel. Upon the new crop for
1917-18 an advance of 3s. (72
cents) per bushel is about to be
made by the commonwealth
wheat board on behalf of the
Imperial government.
It appears from the best
English reports that consider
ing the whole western front
the Germans have not had the
superiority in men, artillery or
aircraft. Their successes were
gained through concentration
of forces at weak points and to
check them required only a 81
milar concentration of strength
by the allies.
--~~-~s S-S~~~
The spring wheat acreage is
fine but the potato acreage thus
far is noticeable by its absence.

waste your energy on impossi-
bilities.

MADDEN ASKS FACTS
As TO EXEMPT MEN
Resolution in House Affects Class
One Workers in Capital.

Resolutions calling upon the head of
nearly every government department
to detail to the House the name, ad-
dress and work required of every
man in these departments who Is
liable to military service and for
whom exemption has been asked.
were introduced yesterday by Repre-
sentative Madden Of Illinois.
Mr.. Madden includes all depart
ments Of any consequence in his reso-
lutions. He asks definite information
concerning the number of men in
Glass One of the seleotive draft for
whom exemption has been asked, pre-
sumably because the head of that de-
partment thinks his particular duties
are of such a character as to require
exemption. Mr.. Madden also wants
to be assured that all of Class One
who can be spared at all are to be
inducted in the military service be-
fore the new draft begins to call
those who have reached their twenty
first birthday since last registration
day.

tory have just succeeded in bring
ing back from the wilds of equator
isl Africa remains of a unique ami
mal-the famous Okapi. which only
thirty-two years ago was totally un-

The Okapi long escaped dis

it secured the only retreat the

western half of equatorial Africa.
Sportsmen, explorers. hunters.

Those who have returned have
come back pale and haggard from
the evil effects of the climate. A
torrid sun renders the moist at

have become cannibals, and the
graves of thousands of white men
dot the region.
Within this belt the home OF the

wide, and about 700 miles from
