GREAT WHEAT
CROP ASKED
FOR THIS YEAR
Federal Department Of Agriculture
Asks For Enormous Liberty
Wheat Harvest.

Washington The Department of
Agriculture Saturday asked farmers
to SOW 47,5OO,O0O acres in winter
wheat this fall. This would yield APP
proXimately 6G7,OOO.OOO acres in win
ter wheat crop in history.
While the request specifically men
tions 45,O0O,000 acres as the area to
he sown, it asks farmers if they can
not raise the total of 475OO.OOO acres.
The latter acreage would be n II per
cent increase over last year. an$
would provide abundantly for the
needs of the allied nations.
When harvest time rolls around it
will be known as the liberty wheat
harvest" according to the plan of the
department. Officials also plan cor
responding increases in the produc-
ton of spring wheat and live stock.
The last crop report forecast a 1918
harvest of $40, $50. 900 bushels of win
ter and spring wheat. If weather
conditions next year are favorable the
1919 harvest of winter and spring
wheat will be we'll over the billion
mark in bushels.
Kentucky which in 1917 had an
acreage of 952 900 is asked TO IN
crease this to 1,142,OOO acres this year
Many states are not asked for in
creases such as Kansas, which APP

able, however, an increase VIII be eX-
pected for them. In Michigan, Wis
cOnsin, Minnesota and South Dakota,
large increases of winter wheat acre
age is not suggested because of heavy
increases for rye.

FALL GARDENS
ARE VERY IMPORTANT
Plenty Of Time Yet to Grow Big Crops,
Relieve Railroad Strain and Help
to Feed the Nation.

Washington 49, Practically all the
common garden vegetables can be
grown satisfactorily in the South in
! the late summer and fall. and it is an
| important item of national defense
| that every foot of available ground
be made to work every day of the
growing season. These points are
stressed by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
] an appeal to Southern gardeners. in
cities, suburbs or on the farm, to take
full advantage of the climatic condi-
tions in the South and increase vege-
table crops to the maximum
Don't neglect home gardens during
the latter portion of the season. the
| specialists advise, and remember that
it is not yet too late even to start a
garden on land that has been idle this
season.
1t is perhaps even more important
TO have a good fall garden in the
South than it is to have Il good gar
den, because in the spring there is
a supply of commercially grown vege-
tables, while in tn fall and winter the
supply from this source is limited A
large portion of the vegetables con-
sumed in the South during the win
ter must be obtained from the North
unless home gardens are worked to
the full extent. Productive-home gar
dens not only help to feed the Nation
but release staple foods for shipment
abroad and decrease the strain on
railroad traffic.
Anyone who is in doubt as to what
and when to plant in order to have a
| good full garden is advised to consult
experienced neighbors or get in touch
with his county agricultural agent,
the State college of agriculture or the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
In the fall, garden space should be
'NN''Su sci NN' Nl'l'S NllhN van ne
kept for winter use, provided they ma
ture late in the season. These include
such crops as late cabbage, turnips
potatoes, beets and carrots. The veg
etables planted in the fall garden ma
ture just before winter when the tenn
perature is low and conditions are
we'll suited for storing. In winter it
is especially difficult to secure a var
led diet and home-stored vegetables
fill this need without imposing any
burden on transport systems. A good
farm garden in practically all parts of
the South can be made to produce
large part of the food NEEDED for the
family.h One that is well planned
and properly cared for may easily be
made worth from $50 to 500 to the
average family.
If the garden has been allowed to
90 to weeds now is the time to clean
them out and to plan and prepare for
the fall crops. If the space is avail
able ii will still pay to plant a garden
even though no early has been grown.
If the spring and summer garden did
not furnish sufficient vegetables for
canning and drying to meet family
needs during the winter plan to pro-
duce them in the fall garden.

UNCLE SAM
TO BEGIN WIDE
Thief HUNT
Robbers Of Freight Cars Are to BE
Run Down and RclcntlesSly Pun
iShed by Federal Gov
crnmeEt.

New Nork.-Upward of $3S,OOO,OOO
was lost last year through theft Of
freight in transit in the United States,
it was announced Sunday.
Federal authorities, determined to
make freight matter as safe as the
mails, have perfected a plan whereby
shippers of freight will be secure
against larceny while their property
is in the hands of Government en-
ployees.
Beginning tomorrow systematic
thief hunt will be instituted by the
Government which will employ thou
sands of men in the work in the vic
unity of New York, st. Louis. Chicago,
Memphis, Kansas City, Denver and
San Francisco.
The Railroad Administration deter
mined upon this action on receipt of
reports of the magnitude of the
freight thefts, in one alone of which
merchandise valued at $4,000 was
stolen from single car near Kansas
City. Guards detailed to watch valu-
able goods in transit have been muir
dered and looting on wholesale scale
has passed beyond the point where
local police authorities in the various
cities could cope with it.
instructions are to be issued to Sc
cret service operatives and Federal
prosecutors and Judges to show no
mercy to those convicted of footing
freight cars, but to see that extreme
penalties are eXactcd.
