the actual scene Of conflict he knows that he is
"a big part Of the world battle line. Upon his
productive efforts largely depend the supply
ing of the allied armed forces and populations
with food
To the appeal, "Food will win the war;" the
American farmer has responded with splendid
results. But Of course that appeal has it's quail
ifcations. One proviso is that food will go a
long way toward insuring victory If we have
plenty of ships to convey 1t where 1t Is needed.
Great fleets of ships have been or are being Gre
ated by the United States shipping board. They
are being produced at record pace. But to
carry out our vast necessary shipping program
with the fullest adequacy 1t is vital that the
earnest interest of every part Of our great coun-
try should be increasingly enlisted.
Far away from the seaboard as many of our
farms are they are Joined with the ocean to a
degree they never were before. The ships sup
plement the pillow and the harvester. Day and
night the farmer has been thinking Of how he
could make his land more productive It is a
subject that never leaves him. The indica-
lions are that SO well has he thought 1t out that
this years crop Of winter wheat alone will be
154OOO,OOO bushels more than last years, large
as that was And this is only one part Of the
immense crops coming from American FARMS
True, there Is always the gamble Of weather con-
dittons and the menace Of insect depredations
But the present promise is high production
from our farms.
OF itself this fact does not alarm the Huns
They know that our big food supply is of no
danger to them II we cannot get 1t across But
what does fill them with dread and forebodlng
is the knowledge that we are rapidly getting to-
gether the ships that will transport 1t over the
ocean to feed our troops and those of the allies
and the peoples Of the countries banded to defeat
Hun aggression. What will further make the
Huns quake is the fact that millions of farm
ers are as determined to support the program
for vast fleets Of ships they are set upon rails
ing vast crops.

out certain countries, and terrorizng the rest.
1t aimed at destroying the ships that could
carry our supplies to Europe. It didn't succeed
any in that design than in the effort to pre-

We need ample ships on the Pacific to
serve China. Japan, the Philippines,
Russia and Australia. All of these countries as
well as Central and South America, have materials
or products which we need just as they need ours.
Australia recently had surplus stated to be
3OO0OO,OO0 bushels Of wheat and another big sur
plus in process Of gathering. There was enough. 4
in fact, to feed England and France for year.
But 1t Of no practical use to the allies. There
were no vessels to be spared for the long haul
which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia to 4
England.
Last year there surplus in Java Of 1,OOO-
600 tons Of sugar which other parts Of the world
needing badly could not get because Of lack of
ships
Great heaps Of coffee were spelling on the East
Indian wharves There was no shipping to move
1t to other countries.
Pyrites, which was badly needed here could not
be brought from Spain because Of the want Of
ships.
These are but a few examples Of what a ship
famine means.
Besides the many millions Of tons of shipping
needed for the purposes already described, there
is also the pressing necessity for multiplying
the number Of ships. tugs and barges for domes-
tic coastwise, lake and inland waterway trans
portation. These are Of the most vital impor-
lance to the farmer. Our inland, lake and coast
waterways can be used to transport vast guam
titles Of wheat and other products and freight
of all kinds can be sent back on the return
trip This transportation will be cheaper to
the farmer and greatly tends to relieve railway
congestion.
In less than a years time the accomplish
ments Of the United States shipping board have
been on an unprecedented scale. Where in 1917
there were only 81 shipyard plants in the United
States, there are now 1853, and more are be-
Ing constantly established. The United States
shipping board has given out contracts for $685.
600 lightweight tons Of ships and has already
put In service 831,111 lightweight tons OF new
shipping This in addition to 2,O73s26 dead
weight tons Of neutral and allied ships under
charter, German and Austrian ships seized and
Dutch ships requisidoned. It is launching new
ships rapidly, and is beginning to make provi-
sion for tugs and barges for inland and coast
wise water traffic From the small number Of
1926 men employed in American shipyards on
April /, 1917, the force of shipbuilders in cur
yards has now increased to 100000.
With this progress American farmers can look
forward to the certainty Of a great merchant ma
rine built in American shlpyards and CARRYING
their products the world over now and after
the war.

Much Importance Attached
to Arrival of Army in
the Holy Land.
FALL OF JERICHO
A SERIOUS LOSS
English Are Now in Direct
Touch With Their
Arabian Allies.
Associated Press.

London, Feb 23.-Much Importance
! Is attached TO the arrival of the British
on the banks Of the Jordan, Reuters $
learns from an authoritative source.
General Allenby's advance from JerlI :
salem was carried out under great diff
fculties. 1t was made during heavy
rains and when the British had 10
| march over hills comparable only l.
masses of slippery soap.
Occupation of Jericho Is an i'm
portant step toward establishing touch
between the British and their Arao
allies. The British will be in direct
contact with the Arabs for the frs;
time. General Allenbys force is now
encamped along the Jordan whica
probably is fairly high. It is a swift.
deep and narrow stream with a very
treacherous current and is in a cour--
try which will supply food and fod-
der
With the latest advance the British
position Is quite well defined. The
right flank rests on the Dead sea and
The left on the Mediterranean, so If the
enemy wishes to attack he can onv
make a frontal assault. The British
now control the Dead sea and have
access to the rich lands east OF the
sea. They also menace the railway
running toward Damascus while the
country has better roads than that
around Jerusalem.
Capture of Jericho. the military cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
SAYS, deprives the enemy of one Of
the chief local points in his defensive
scheme in Palestine.
THE advance the writer adds,
should result in the clearing out OF
the enemy from west of the Dead
sea since it gives the British a line
right across Palestine. It endangers
the enemy's motor boat f1otilla which
has had its base at the mouth of the
Jordan and cuts off from any Turks
now left west of the Dead sea as well
as from those on the east where they
are exposed to the bold raids of the
Hedjaz Arabs, their means of support
from this source
1T must not be forgotten that the
Arabs are working their way up the
| Hedjaz railway and already have been
in action directly east of the Dead
sea. Turkish forces acting in Hedia8
and Southern Arabia already virtually
are cut off from the outside world.

route seems best"
