TAKING OYER
WHEAT STOCKS
Agricultural Advisory Com.
mittee Says Hoarding
Should Be Stopped. !.

Accusing the farmers Of holding
lack their 1917 wheat for the higher
price OF $3.50 promised by Congress,
the Agricultural Advisory Committee
today recommended the commander
ing Of all the 1917 wheat in the coun-
try II the price is changed. as ex-
clusively forecast yesterday in the In
ternational News Service dispatches.
Increase in price could not affect
the production OF winter wheat and
would stimulate spring wheat only to
the extent of about 10 per cent. says
the committee.
Cry of the farmers that they must
have more money because implements
and labor are so costly. Is met by the
recommendation that the Department
of Agriculture investigate with the
view to providing regulation Of prices
of implements on the basis Of cost
plus reasonable profit Further. de-
mand is made that the Presidential
price regulation applied to the farm
ers should be extended to all other
trade industries in the country.
This Is the second stamp OF ap,
proyal put upon the price Of $40 by
the farmers themselves. The first
was by a commission of eleven. six
farmers and five laymen. before Pres
ident Wilson's proclamation set the
figure. The Agricultural Advisory
Committee is made up entirely Of
farmers. In the face of both these
findings, the attitude Of Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover and Secretary
Houston. and the personal review by
the president, Congress is still aiming
to boost the figure to $3.50.
Aside from its sweeping recommen-
dations regarding wheat, the COM
mittee praises the War and Labor
Departments for their attitude to-
ward farm labor; says It does not be-
lieve the time has come for employ
ing women for rough work on the
farm; points out that there Is a grave
danger In the waste Of perishable
fruit; and appeals to the trade both
wholesale and retail to handle Do
tstoes at the smallest possible margin
Of profit so the consumer may be en-
couraged to purchase, pointing out
that there will be on hand June 80 a
surplus Of 100000 bushels of. po-
Atoes.
An attack upon the Agriculture Ad-
visory Committee for its endorsement
Of the $40 wheat price fixed by the
President, was made in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Gore, author
Of the $50 amendment to the Agri-
culture bin now pending in confer
enee.
Senator Gore characterized the
members Of the Advisory Committee
as swivel chair farmers" He re
ferred to them. also as political far
mers, who care more for the smile
Of officials in power than for the ac-
tual needs Of the farmers. He de-
clared they had been chosen by Sec
retary Of Agriculture Houston and
Food Administrator Hoover and are
not representative of the sentiment of
the 100000 farmers Of the United
States, who are asking q higher
price for their wheat

FOOD BOARD DEFENDS
USE OF CORN MEAL

Eating corn meal and the other
wheat -four substitutes, will make
you healthy, wealthy and patriotic,
says the Food Administration.
Wild rumors in circulation that the
use of corn meal was causing pella.-
gra, brought forth yesterday. an ex-
PLANTATION from DR.. AlonZo L Tsy-
lor, dietician of the Food Administra-
ton, that not only has corn meal
nothing at all to do with peIlagra,
but that It is one Of the healthiest
foods that can be eaten. Expert
ments conducted by the government
have shown that pellagra. which is
akin to berri-berri. is most prevalent
where pure wheat -four has been used
with lard or vegetable fats and vege-
tables and other greens eliminated
from the diet.

A PLACE IN THE HEAT.

"I have a good one for the Congress
sional Record" said a congressman
to a crowd of newspaper men in
Washington recently. 81 have just
returned from a tour of the great
steel mills in Pittsburgh. During
a conversation with a mill hand
while they were pouring hot steel
! compared the heat of the molten
steel with the scientific accounts of
the heat in the sun.
"To register the heat in the sun,
l explained, resorting to hyperbole,
"a thermometer would have to be a
million miles high. Counting that
anybody could live in the sun an
ordinary blast furnace might serve
as a refrigerator

mill hand, an Irishman, give the
kaiser a place in the sunP"

FINAL BLOW BY F0CH
NOW is EXPECTED

Backed by a reservoir of 5000, 900
American troops, Field Marshal
Foch, supreme commander of the
American and Allied armies, is pre-
pairing to hurl the entire united mill
tary strength Of France, Great Brit
ain and the United States against
the Germans on the western front in
order to bring the war to a victor
ious conclusion in the shortest pos
sible time. Next spring will see the
terrific conflict, already in progress
on the Aisne-V esle line, in fall swing
with Foch's armies striking with all
their power.
This was the impression gained by
members Of the Senate Military
Committee who heard General March,
chief of staff, explain in executive
session the War Departments reas-
ons for asking extension of draft
age limits to include all men between
Is ard 46 years of age. They learn
ed also that the definite decision to
enlarge the American military pro-
gram to an army of 100000 men
was reached about July 80, and is
in accordance with an agreement
reached in Paris shortly before that
time.
The date when the United States
decided to more than double the
great effort it already was making
and to bring it's whole man power to
bear Immediately may be significant.
General Foch's smashing blow which
has flattened out the Aisne- Marine
salient and has thrown the whole
German front from Rheims to the
sea into jeopardy, was struck July
Is with American troops bearing
their full share.
1t appeared possible that the sue
cess Of that blow had influenced

TO FILL FOUNTAIN PEN.

Oftentimes a person finds an oc-
casion to fill a fountain pen, but he
has no dropper handy. So here is
little trick to try on your fountain
pen, says the Electrical Expert
menter. Take a pin or match and
draw a channel out to the edge of
the mouth of the ink bottle with the
ink. The ink will follow this chan
mel and run into the fountain pen
without spilling a drop.

ly have pressed for vigorous ag-
gressive campaign at the earliest
possible moment and with attention
concentrated on the western front,
to believe that enough could be done
this year to prepare the way for a
smashing military triumph next year
when the full American army be-
comes available. The period Of time
covered by estimates for equipment
and transportation Of troops under
the enlarged army plan is under
stood to carry it up to next spring.
As the project is understood, al
though no details were obtainable, it
is contemplated to place an army of
substantially 100000 American
troops in France before the spring
campaign opens, backed by 100000
more at home, moving forward as
needed. In this connection intima-
tons that the British have made ex-
traordinary efforts to concentrate
troops on the western front in the
last few months become increasingly
significant Coupled with the French
and American efforts, this gives
promise of such overwhelming forces
in the battle next year that a COM
paratively short and bitter fight may
see the issue decided and the German
army driven beyond the Rhine if it
is not destroyed in the field.
In his mid-week conference with
newspapermen later in the day, Gen
eral March dealt with the battle sit
uation in general terms and referred
to his appearance before the Senate
committee only to deny report that
he had fixed the military program of
landing 81 American divisions in
France by next May. He had made
no such statement, he said.
