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

So great has become the European
demand for flour that the Food Admin
istratiOn is urging farmers not to hold
wheat for seeding their next crop ex-
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
iStratiOn regards it as unnecessary. 1t
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. It has never failed
in the past; there is no reason to
believe it will now. In some sections
conditions are such that it would be
practically impossible to put in sue
cessful crop except with seed that had
been held over from the previous year.
The Food Administration recognizes
these conditions. however, and applies
its requests only to those sections
where the only reason for holding over
wheat would be 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 he entirely feasible
to ship in from other sections seed
that is known to be adapted to con-
ditfOns 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 bushel would provide bread for
at least one soldier in Europe until
the next harvest relieves the neces-
slty Tor such Individual sacrifice at
