the price Of hogs has not been high
enough to cover the price OF the corr
fed to them.
As a nation we have directed our
attention mainly to saving food al.
ready produced instead Of mainly to
producing more food. which would
make rigid conservation unneces-
sary. Surely II is better to produce

servation measures have been diff
cult to apply, dangerous to the NOR
ale Of the people. and (short OF ac-
tual rationing) ineffective in produc-
ing results. They are properly the
last measure against food shortage.
Production is the first How some Of
the steps which are necessary to in

Farm Organizations, In their address

II the foregoing Is true. then the
danger is so pressing and the results
Of the threatened food shortage will
be so disastrous to US. to our Allies.
and to the neutrals who depend upon
US for food. that vigorous and i'm

food Is the first thing needed for our
own safety and welfare. and for

"A Letter To The
President About Food

vcause more IMAM one quarter OF tn =
men who have been taken for the
National Army for farmers. They
are short Of seed. agricultural sup
plies. and credit, and they declare
that crop smaller than last year
u certain unless these conditions are
changed for the better.
Shortage in production at the
coming harvest cannot be met from
any surplus held In reserve. Only
three crops Of our six principal grains
have ever been as large as the
amount by which our reserve Of
these grains was reduced between
March. 1915, and March. 1917. Since
then our reserve has been stiii fur
Their diminished. and II has been
said that We have now reached the
bottom Of the granary.
Business confidence plays as large
q part in the production OF food as
II does in the production of any 9TH
er commodity. Nothing is SO fatal
to production as uncertainty. 1t Is a
matter OF national significance that
the great majority Of farmers are
today uncertain as to their business
outlook.
A year ago our farmers produced
abundantly in patriotic response to
the request Of the Government, but
at harvest labor was wanting. Many
fields Of potatoes were frozen In the
ground and much corn remained I'M
gathered. There are farmers three
quarters Of whose corn crop was still
In the field in February for want Of
hands. To men Of small resources
such blows are staggering. The pro-
secutions Of milk producers, q very
numerous class Of farmers. for seek
ing prices high enough to meet the
rising cost Of production, have also
had their share in robbing the farm
ers Of confidence in the future. =
Food is the first condition OF pros
perity at home and success in the
war abroad. The food problem is
first Of all question Of production.
The attention of the whole nation Is
at this moment directed to the ques-
ton Of building ships, but food is
prior to and more essentia! than the
ships to carry 1t. So also food Is
more essential than munitions. fol-
without it munitions can neither be
manufactured nor used In fighting.
What we need most is an increase
In wheat and pork. But the coming
crop Of winter wheat is more thar

The President,
The White House.
My Dear Mr.. President:
In this critical time. when 1t II
the duty OF every American to sup
port tho Government in winning the
war, l venture most respectfully tc
lay before you certain facts with re.
lation to the food supply Of our
people and our Allies whose import
ance would appear to justify my do
ing SO. The study Of conservation
has required me to become familiar
with agricultural problems. and
have been in close touch with organ
ICED farmers. In order to guard
against making any statement which
might be mistaken, either in letter
or in spirit, the substance Of this
open communication has been sub
mitted to the leaders and represen-
tatives of farm organizations num-
bering many hundred thousand men,
bers, and has received their assent.
The war has now entered stage
In which the steadfastness of civil
populations ranks in Importance with
the fighting spirit Of armies. Album
dant supplies Of food become fac
tor Of the first importance In main
tanning the morale Of a people under
heavy stress.
Great Britain, as we know still re-
lies on the United States and Canada
for IS per cent of its essential food
stuffs. The Canadians are most Sc
riously handicapped in the effort to
increase production by the lack Of
man power because they have al
ready sent to Europe SO large a pro-
portion Of their men Of military age.
II is well known that New Zealand.
Australian, and Indian wheat is in
accessible for the lack Of ships. The
responsibility. therefore. rests main
lily upon the people Of the United
States. without the food which we
alone can supply not only England
but France and italy, must lose Their
power to carry on the war.
1t is not famine we are facing ir

but we are faced with the certain
lty Of a reduction instead Of an in

On account of his skill and exper-
fence in military matters Luther D.
McGahan, son of Editor McGahan Of
the Minot Messenger, was placed in
charge of the draft contingent which
left the city Wednesday for Camp
Lewis, Washington. Mr.. McGahan
holds the rank Of corporal in the nat
ional army, having won the promotion
while serving with Co. D at the Mex
lean border. The call to arms was too
strong to be resisted and after repeat
ed efforts to join the colors and being
rejected becasue of his being at the
head of family With wife and nine
weeks old sen dependent upon him, ne
finally succeeded IL securing the con-
sent of his wife and enlisted. Corp
oral McGahan is repuJed one OF the
best trained drill masters in the west
and his rapid rise in army circles is
predicted by his many friends, VINO
will watch his career with interest.
For several months past Corporal Nc
Gahan has given his time freely to
training the draft boys and such civil
ians as wished to acquire a knowledge
OF military practice and usages and
great regret is felt at his departure.
