DUBUQUE Iowa, June 20.-"Bet-
ter that America gloriously fail, fight
ing for freedom with great England,
heroic France, Italy and Belgium,
and that it pass from the pages OF
history, than see it survive in the
greatest ease and luxury, submissive
in any respect to the dictation of Ger
many"
This was the declaration here to-
day of Secretary of Agriculture
Houston, before the state convention
of the Iowa Bankers association, in
delivering a stern Indictment OF Ger
many.
American farmers, he said, have
risen nobly to their task and the ma
tons crops this year will insure
against allied failure through food
lack.
Besides the present prospect OF
better than $50, 100000 bushels wheat
output, he said, the rye crop now
promises to exceed its former h1gh
year by 21,000,000 bushels, more than
double the peace time output.
Production of barley, he said, will
be increased to 26,000,0O0 and the
oats crop will equal it's record.
be highly unfortunate to regard the
promise for the future as any war
rant whatever for relaxation of eff
fort both for greater production and
conservation. There will be a con-
tinuing need for large supplies of
food. clothing and feed products, not
only for our own population, but also
for the allies and there is every in
dication that the conditions will re-
suit in fair prices to the farmers.
whether war continues or peace
comes.
For even if peace should come,
stricken Europe will for time look
to this country not only for large
supplies of food but will especially
seek her large numbers of livestock
with which to replenish their de-
pleted herds"
Houston appealed to the bankers
and business men to "be alive to his
obligations.'' to aid the farmer in
ready extension OF farms credits and
supplying of city labor for harvesting.
