WHEAT RETURN IS HIGH
Interesting Figures For Farmers From
Food Statisticians.

Washington, March 26.-Dr. Ray
mond Pearl, statistician of the United
States food administration, says that
the American farmer still receives a
higher return per bushel from wheat
than from any other cereal crop.
DR.. Pearl, taking his information
from the published reports of the
United States agricultural depart
ment, finds that the average price re-
ceiVed by the. farmer for wheat for
the three years before the war was
S6 9-10 cents a bushel. He receives
now s2.006 a bushel, a percentage in
crease Of 131.
Corn comes next with a percentage
increase Of 109and oats and barley
are tied with percentage increase OF
los.

Gas Delnge Was
Ready for Huns

New York, Dec. 16.-Detafls OF
Americas enormous preparations
to oyerwhelm the German armies
with poison gas were made public
TODAY by the New York, section of
the American Chemical society. Mil
itary authorities and engineering
chemists, it was stated, expressed
belief that ,Germany's knowledge OF
these preparations had been an inn
portant factor in causing her to seek
an arTnistice.
Asserting that in May. 1917, the
production of gas masks was started
by a group of five volunteers, Col.
Bradley, Commanding officer of the
Gas Defense, declared that UP to the
time the truce was signed there had
been produced 100000 masks, 81
600. 900 extra canisters, 100000 horse
masks and large quantities OF the
mustard gas suits, gloves, ointments
and antidotes. The production OF
gas masks when. hostifities ceased,
he added, had reached 900 a day
The 1919 model, he said showed q
revolution in design, overcoming all
discomforts of earlier patterns and
adding ten fold efficiency.
Col. VIM. H. Walker, commanding
the Edgewood Arsenal, said that on
Nov. III tive had all the facilities for
producing mustard gas at the rate OF
one hundred tons a day, to say moth
ingsof our resources for deluging our
enemies with chlorine, phosgene
chlorphricin and new vapors previ-
ously unknown to them"

"This was required in order that
their politics or action might not be
subject to any adverse comment.
These sixteen executives and heads
have done this, and will continue TO
do this until their public service is
ended by the closing UP of the OBJ
legations Of the food administration
grain corporation, which, as / stated
above, will be along in August or
September of the year 1919.
"In my opinion the food admins
tration grain corporation should.

of it's obligations and has protected.
the 1918 crop, and wind up its af-
| fairs and return to the president the
L
the officers hope to do, with the feel

ecuted with a degree Of efficiency

/ ''The next question which will con-
front congress is the creation of an
| agency-perhaps a new corporation
with much enlarged capital, and
with the power to draw on the treas
! ury of the United States freely to
meet it's obligations, which will be
very large in attempting to finance
| the 1919 crop Under whose manage
ment or control this new agency or
corporation shall be, is UP to con-

Further Sacrificing Seen.
sIt has been intimated that some of
| the personnel connected with the
| food administration grain corpora
| tion should sacrifice their own in
terests further, and continue to serve
the United States government in the
i marketing Of the 1919 crop. Per-
haps Mr.. Barnes and some OF the
other executive officers will be
willing to this-I do not know. It is
! a tremendous problem.
| 'If the wheat acreage is increased
-as seems likely-to 75,000,000
acres, there is a possibility of the
| United States producing a crop OF
1 200, 900, 900 bushels of wheat In the
marketing of this volume OF wheat
| there is a possibility Of the United
States government meeting loss
of about $1,000, 10000 in endeavor-
ing to market the crop in competi-
tion with the crops Of the world.
lit is a very serious problem, and
will demand your most careful study
and consideration. am OF the opin-
ion that any legislation that Is en-
| acted to carry into effect the 1919
| guarantee must be drawn with the
| greatest care; and am very sure
that when Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Barnes return from Europe, some
valuable suggestions might be given
to you, for your consideration, re-
garding new legislation that will be

Army Resents Praise.
We see things far more calmly
now than in the heat Of the terrible
years that have gone by. Compare
sons which were inevitable then seem
at once meaningless and inequitable
now. The future will see even more
clearly. 1t will perceive that Britain
tranformed civilian population on
into a vast military force which kept
the field, held the well organized and
we'll trained foe when it was still
lacking in training and in machinery
and finally shared in the complete
triumph Of French and American
troops, a triumph to which the Amer
leans were only Just beginning 10
contribute.
Perhaps there Is no better summary
Of what the British army achieved
than is supplied in the bald statement
that the British army occupied mons
on August 81, 1914, and reoccupled 1t
on November 10, 1918. In the time
that separates the two dates the
German army wore out, it broke It
self against British and French de-
fense and it was incapable of meet
inc French, British and American at
tack. And in all the time from

I MORE LIQUOR is SEIZED.
Grand Forks Officials Find Two More
Trunks of Booze,

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 15.-An-
other big seizure of liquor, the third
in a week, has been made by Grand
Forks officials, who believe they have
tapped practically all sources Of local
supply. The most recent seizures
were made at a local depot, when
two trunks were taken in charge.
Since the officials began their sys-
tematic raids on the liquor supply,
they have gathered about $50 bottles
of whiskey and caused one arrest.
