spring wheat yield will be published at
2:15 o'clock Monday afternoon. Last
months figures on winter wheat OF
556000,000 bdshels will not be altered
at this time but it seems to be the
general impression that the spring
wheat crop, which a month ago was
estimated at 322 100000 Will be in
creased somewhat owing to the fact
that thrashing returns have revealed
larger yields than anticipated.
Thrashing operations are now practi
cally finished in the winter wheat belt
and it is said that very little wheat is
being held in stacks Farmers are now
busily engaged in preparing the ground
for seeding, the new winter wheat crop,
and as the recent rains have placed
the soil in splendid condition it is
believed that very large acreage will
be seeded
Shipments of wheat from Argentina
last week were ! ,63S, 900 bushels. a fall
ing off of over 700, 900 from the previous
week. and it is the general impress ion
that tonnage is being diverted from the
Argentine to America

40 TO so MEN REQUIRED
FOR EACH AIRPLANE
IN ACTIVE SERVICE

In a statement issued by Howard E.
Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft Pro-
duction Board, is the following:
In discussing the accomplishments
of the air service in the consummation
of the Army program, it will be well to
point out the impossibility of certain
proposals enthusiastically and persist
emily put forward by word of mouth
and in the press. We have seen and
heard much of the proposal of 100000
airplanes' to be provided by the United
States within the next year. In a
country where one great industry pro-
duces 1900, 900 motor cars per year,
the fabrication of 1000 planes might
seem easy, but actual figures based up
on three years of practical experience
in the war show that there are now be-
tween 40 and SO men of the auxiliary
services required for each active ma
chine at the front. If this same ratio
| should be adhered to in our service, it
would mean that some 100000 men
would be required in our aeronautical
department on foreign soil between Il
ports of debarkation and the fighting
front.
Even though this number of men
could be reduced by so per cent by in
creased efficiency and Standardization.
the number required is still stagger-
ing. Consider, also, the overseas
transportation problem as related to
material only and without reference to
personnel and its maintenance. The
transportation of finished planes, prop
erly Grated, with the necessary spares,
accessories. and equipment Is in itself
a serious problem, in view of the situa-
ton in ship tonnage"

A PRACTICE THAT MUST CEASE

The attention of the Board of Health
of Pleasantville has been directed to
some citizens whose pipes to their
c~esspools are frozen and who take
their chamber waste and dump it upon
the ground. This waste must be dump
ed in the %cesspools, as a continuance
of the practice above is likely to cause
an epidemic of sickness when a thaw
comes.
