DEMAND FOR WHEAT
ABROAD INCREASES
American Farmers Urged to
Give Up Every Grain in
Warehouses.

So great has become the European
demand for -four that the Food Admin
istration is urging farmers not to hold
wheat for seeding their next crop eN-
cept in few states where the period
of harvesting winter wheat overlaps
the period Of planting.
While it has been the practice in
many communities for farmers to hold
over wheat for seed, the Food Admin
iStratiun regards it as unnecessary. Ii
is almost beyond belief that in any
part of the country the yield from the
next harvest will be insufficient TO
meet all seed requirements for the
succeeding crop. 1t has never failed
in the past; there is no reason to
believe il will now. In some sections
conditions are such that it would be
practically impossible to put in Il sue
ceSSfuI crop except with seed that had
been held over from the previous year
The Foad Administration recognizes
these conditions. however, and applies
IFS requests only to those Secti0nS
where the only reason for holding over
wheat would l'e To protect against the
possibility of failure of the crop now
growing-a contingency which at pres
ent seems very remote.
Even should there be local crop
failures. it would be entirely feasible
to ship in from other sections seed
that is known to be adapted to CON
ditions ruling in the afflicted communi-
| ties.
Never before has there been such
urgent need for wheat Every car
| load, every bushel and every grain
that can possibly leave the farm may
within the next few months play an
important part in our war program.
| Throughout the country millions of
people are cutting their consumption
to the barest minimum, many of them
going entirely without wheat The re-
lease of thousands of bushels Ordi-
narily held for seed would do much
to relieve the present situation and to
insure expectation conditions.
AT the present rate of consumption
each huShel would provide bread for
at least one soldier in Europe until
the next harvest relieves the neceS.
Sity for such individual sacrifice al
home. And with every indication OF
bumper crops the wheat seed can east
ly be thrown on the market.

HOW TO GET SUGAR
FOR PRESERVING
Plan of Distribution, 1t is Hoped, Will
Prevent Temporary Shortage.


The submarine has forced fighting
Europe to very strict sugar ration
and compelled America to look the sit
uatiOn squarely in the face. There is
only 50 much sugar, there are certain
definite needs, and the problem before
us is finding a practical plan of dis
tribution. The Food Administration
has adopted certificate system to
meet the household needs during the
coming fruit season, and To guard
against temporary shortages that may
occur if more vessels are diverted
from the Cuban trade.
The consumer is asked to estimate
his needs and fill our certificat e
which will be furnished him by his
grocer. The dealer is required to for
ward his certificate to the Federal
Food Administrator within one week
after ii is turned in to him.
This plan puts the question up to
the individual, and the Food Admin,
istration asks the assistance of every
| householder in bringing about prac
| teal distribution. The success of thy
| plan depends on the good sense anf
! good will of the American citizen. Co
! operation, prompt action, and a demo
cratic sense of fair play will prevepr
Il sugar shortage in America during
! the fruit season.

Of fighting yonder or of fighting
here; of standing there with the
democracies Of Great Britain and
France or fighting here alone. That
thing, that militarism, that dream
of expansion, must perish from the
world forever. The principles Of
democracy must live, they are the
rights Of nations, for if these
things should go into the dust, the
world goes with them, and slavery
will be all that we know.
Let each one of us. at this hour,
dedicate ourselves to this great
burden. know you are being ask
ed for money, here, there, and
everywhere. But it's a thousand
times more pleasant to give than
to have it dragged from us. Re-
member it isn't simple men, mu-
nitions, and money, it is not be-
/ cause we are wealthy, and a great
! prosperous power that we shall
( triumph. These things cannot win
/ for us. There must be sOmething
else if the conflict is to be decided
for us. Every nation engaged has
lived as though God were not. This
nation has been going the way of
the others. Let us call a halt; LET
Us spend a few minutes in con.
temptation. Are we a righteous
people? Are we Godlike? Are We
anxious for the better things tx
! come? Get little bit closer to thu
God of battles, the God of this ma
ton. Get little closer in a bono
of fellowship, and God shall bles1

In connection with searchlight tests

The United States Food Leaflets re-
Gently published by the Department OF
Agriculture and the Food Admins
tration have been translated in some
States by local representatives into
eleven foreign languages and are now
being distributed among foreigners In
the United States. Twenty leaflets,
each carrying its message Of food
sense and food economy in four pages,
make up the series. Besides the En-
glish version they have been publish
ed in Niddish, Armenian, Syrian, Ital-
ian, Polish, Finnish, Portuguese,
French, Greek, Swedish, and Lithuan-
ian.
Four district men and thirty-siX
State leaders. all trained poultry spe-
cialists, are carrying out the Depart
nent of Agriculture's program to Sc
cure large increases in poultry and
egg production this year. In addition
to these workers there are eleven ex-
tension poultry club men who are en-
couraging more efficient poultry pro-
duction among the boys and girls in
their various States. Recent reports
from these poultry extension special
lists indicate that normal production
will be maintained in practically every
section of the country this year, in
which they are working, and in many
localities an increase over previous
years is expected. The appeal made
by department specialists to city peo-
pie to increase food production by
utilizing their table scraps in feeding
small back -yard flocks of hens is
meeting with marked success.
To show how farmers of the United
States are meeting the shortage Of

of Crop Estimates in recent report
told of seeing farmer in Indiana

over there, the secretary Of the
navy Of that country proposed to
the German government, a few
years ago, naval holiday. The
taxes to maintain the British navy
were enormous; people staggered
under the load. Affairs were even
worse in Germany. Isn't there a
possibility of these two great naval
powers declaring a naval holiday,
the secretary asked; can we not
have an era Of good feeling and
peace between two people?
You know how they scorned it;
how they went on in mad haste to
increase the fleet; how they nour-
ished the hellish hate down in
their hearts. If they had been
looking for freedom, or anxious for
the peace that their emperor says
he was looking for, this proposal
would have been seized upon, and
not rejected.
But Germany has not been con-
tent with the place she had in the
sun. Any man, sane and sensible
will not try to break down the
place the German people had gain
ed in the world. And back of The
German people was the wealth Of
their nation. Were an American
to attempt to use his government
as the German was permitted to do

Millions of dollars worth of food
and clothing intended for use overseas
and stored in the Government ware
house at the Bush Terminals, New
York, will be protected from damage
by insects through arrangements
whereby the War Department will use
the knowledge on stored-product IN
sects in the possession of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The stored sup
plies originated in all parts of the
world and are likely to contain insects
that will multiply and cause great
damage in storage, particularly dur
ing the summer. To search out and
treat infestations in the early stages
may save millions of dollars. DR.. f.
A. Back Of the Bureau of Entomology
has been placed in charge Of the work,
in cooperation with the War Depart
ment.
A new strain of asparagus that is
larger. more uniform and more pro-
ductive than the Old varieties and in
addition is highly disease resistant,
has been developed through ten years
of work by J. B. Norton, plant
breeder in the Bureau of Plant Indus
try. who introduced, tested and ny
bridized asparagus from all parts Of
the world. Introduction of the new
strain is expected eventually to stamp
out the rust" a destructive disease
that swept over the country a few
years ago. Commercial quantities of
the new type recently sold in Wash
ington. D. c., for more than double
the price of other asparagus.
Additional help to harvest the
wheat in the central western States
will be supplied by an army of work
men moving from Texas to North Da-
kota with the season of harvest. Deli
mite plans for distribution of this la
Dor have been made by the Depart
nent of Agriculture's farm help spec
ialists cooperating with the Depart
rlent of Labor and with county agents
in these wheat-producing States. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 men will be
needed to harvest the wheat crop in
Kansas; and that about 50,OOO of this
number will be furnished by the towns
and cities of that State while the re-
mainder will go into Kansas from Ok
lahoma and Texas when the wheat
harvest is finished in these States.
Forty-seven additional veterinarians
making total of seventy, have re
Gently been detailed by the Bureau Of
Animal Industry to protect horses
which are being transported for wal
purposes, from influenza, distempel
or shipping fever, diseases which have
caused enormous losses.
In cooperation with the SignalCorps
