Manufacturers and dealers are en-
couraged under the policy of the navy
department to deal direct with the de-
partment. The purpose is to eliminate
the middleman in purchases OF sup
plies and materials. 3.
'In my annual report" says Rear
Admiral Samuel MCGOWAN, "manufac-
turers were warned against protteer-
ing agents, professional contractors
and naval brokers. In our regular mall
ing circulars of January 8, 1918, we ex-
pressed the hope that manufacturers
who have not availed themselves OF
the opportunity to bid direct will do
so, as it will prove of advantage to
them in bringing them in more init
mate touch with the navy and thereby
make a reputation for the materials
which they manufacture
"The fact is the responsibility OF
contractors was never so thoroughly
investigated and they were never held
to q stricter accountability than they
have been since this country entered
the war. The number of responsible
direct bidders has increased greatly
and the number of agents and interme-
diaries has been reduced to a min
imum. The safeguards against profit
eering have been strengthened, not re-
laxed."
There are over 1900 names on the
bidders list of the navy bureau of
supplies and accounts, representing
every section Of the country. These
manufacturers and dealers furnish
over 10000 classes of articles used by
the navy.

PLAN NOW FOR NEXT
YEARS WHEAT CROP
Present Colorado Acreage Should Be
Maintained; Safety Supply Needed

State Agricultural College, Fl. Collins
1t is time now to think of planting
wheat for next year, that is, for the
1919 crop. The United States govern
ment asked Colorado for an increase
of 20 per cent in the wheat acreage
for 1918. This state responded with
nearly 80 per cent increase.
"The wheat crop in some sections
of the state has suffered because of
drouth," says Prof. Alvin Kicker, of
the Colorado Agricultural College.
"On the whole, however, the crop Of
fers an excellent prospect of success.
"Growers should plan to maintain
nearly this years acreage, and to even
increase this years acreage except in
these sections having lands adapted
for the production Of sugar beets.
Wheat and sugar are both essential
crops. Some Of our lands are better
adapted for the production Of sugar
than the lands in other regions. These
should be utilized for sugar produc-
tion, but where there is a conflict be-
tween sugar and wheat, the wheat
acreage should be largely increased.
"Food will continue to be deciding

must be planted to insure a safety
supply. Now is the time to plan for
that excess,e
