CONSTRUCTIVE REPORTS

Responding to a request for inquiry by
Chairman George Creel Frank P. Glass pres
ident of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, has announced he will appoint COM
mittee ''of representative publishers who may
be constructive in their report"
At the same time Glass dsavowed for the as
ISOLATION the disloyalty charge of Hopewell Rog-
ers retiring president, who Glass said, could
not have had any wish to imply that his utter
ances to be accepted as the opinion of the
association"
The following letter addressed to Creel:
CAS- the successor of Mr.. Rogers in the presl-
dency of the association, l do not think l have
any function in replying to your structures upon
Rogers could have had any wish to imply that
his utterances were to be accepted as the opinion
of the American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation rather than his personal views. I
may assure you, however, that I do not enter
tain myself the view that you have been disloyal
to our country in any of your utterances to work.
Nevertheless, l am impressed with i'm
portant lesson of the incident, and that is there
should be a more thorough knowledge on the
part of the public of your committees function
and work. / am convinced that such knowl-
edge would be most beneficial to the country
and especially to the newspapers. 1t is also prob
able that thereby your committees power for
good would be strengthened"

GREAT WHEAT CROPS

A possible $50, OOO, 900 bushels the greatest
winter wheat crop since the record breaking
yield of 1915, together with probable increase
that is the forecast made in report on the con-
dition of winter wheat issued today by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United States
through it's Committee on Statistics and STAN
dards.
"The present acreage now standing in winter
wheat" says the report, sis 20 per cent greater
than the average at the same time in 1917. But
the greatest promise of high yield of winter
wheat is found in a general high condition of
the wheat, a condition which has improved
steadily since the first of April.
Estimates of the coming yields are always
uncertain because of the possible vicissitudes of
weather and depredations OF insect enemies
But the crop has come through the trying month
of March with higher condition than when it
entered it, and with favorable weather from now
on there is promised production of at least 600
100000 bushels if it goes WELL"
On the subject of spring wheat the report says
There is little to be said of spring wheat, but
that little is most encouraging. Seeding is near
completed and under most favorable conditions
One of the most important of which is the large
amount of moisture in sub-soil. The outlook is
for an increased acreage over last year of about
Is per cent. The increase is so large in Iowa,
Wisconsin and Nebraska, that it reads like the
operations of an adding machine. Where the
lplant is up the condition is excellent

SAVE MORE BABIES.

If the State of Florida does her part in the
public campaign of saving one hundred thousand
lives under five years in the United States, her
quota is approximately nine hundred and twelve
seventy-three per cent of these die under one
year. The State health department realizes that
the infant mortality in the state is entirely too
high, and shall aid in every way practicable that
Florida may reach her quota. We feel that Flor
ida should keep up her quota if possible; not so
much to prove her loyalty, but to do her duty
toward the little helpless ones.
1t is hoped that this child welfare campaign
will not only save one hundred thousand lives
during this year but will convince he most
skeptical that health within certain limitations
is purchaseable and that infant mortality is oe'
creased by increasing child-welfare work. Ii SO
much money were appropriated for the first
five years of school life, there would be no ques-
ton of decreasing the present infant morality
rate.
Statistics show that infant mortality cam
paigns consistently produced reductions in the
death rate. The figures for New York show
that the number of deaths for one Thousand
births in the first year of life has steadily de-
clined since determined campaign to Save the
Babies" was started. But the great value to the
country of the child-welfare work will not be Inn
tied to one thousand lives.

FAINT mortality, the health of the children will no
doubt be improved and the morbidity rate be re-
duced The chidren-the future America
will be started on their journey with proper care
wholesome food and much better promise of
success in life.
1t is estimated that in New Zealand one baby
in twenty dies-in the United States one in ten
dies Methods by which the infant lives are to
be saved are set forth by the Children's Bureau
of the department of labor, Washington, D. c.,
and recent articles published by that depart
ment may be secured by writing to Washington,

EMBARGO ON POTATOES

1t is reported that the government contem-
plates placing embargoes against shipping pota-
toes into Florida from other states, so as to
help overcome the congestion on railroads by
unnecessary hauling of tonnage. This will be
applied in every case where state is an export
er of any kind of food crops
state raising enough of any food crop for
its own and then exhaustng its particular
supply is liable under such restrictions to do
without until another harvest.
Careful surveys will be made in every in
stance to learn needs and conditions and pre-
vent as far possible any inconvenience or dis
tress.
Another moral to be drawn from existing
conditions and things foreshadowed is that Flor
ida needs storage facilities and dehydrating
plants to put perishables in more endurable
forms.

LETCHER'S WORK.

Senator Fletchers work in trying
to stop the Decentralization of labor
in West Florida bore fruit from the
start, and his insistence in the mat

from the assistant secretary in the de-
partment of labor:
Letter to Fletcher.

Hon. Duncan U. Fletcher,
United States Senate,
Washin gton, d. c.
My Dear Senator:
Acknowledging your letter of April
gath covering copy of a telegram from
Mariana, Florida, signed by a num-
Der of employers of labor Of that
vicinity, beg to advise you as fol-
lows: A very large number Of SINH
lar complaints to the one you have
presented are coming in daily from
points in Georgia, Florida. Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee. The De-
partment of Labor has presented the
matter again to the attention of the
War Department The War Depart
ment has taken the mater under adj
visement and is considering action
which we hope will result in putting
the whole subject under the direct
control Of the Department Of Labor s
Employment Service, in which event
1t is believed that it will be possible
to prevent the Generalization of labor
conditions due to the activities of the
Mussel Shoals and other government
constructions in the South.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) LOUIS F. POST,
Assistant Secretary.

FLORIDA HONEY

Flowers from which bees gather honey,
bloom in Florida in every month. Honey was
the first and for long time the only sweet pro-
duct of nature known to ancient people. No
change has taken place in the making, except
that in some countries like Florida, the orange
bloom supplies an unusually fine flavor, says the
State Marketing Bureau.
The census of 1910 report about 100000
worth of honey being produced in Florida, as
compared with California where the output was
100000 pounds or 600 carloads, and honey
making conditions in that state no better
than in Florida. The cutting down of bee trees,
with their stores of honey are not infrequent in
Florida. If bees do so well in wild condition, it
is certain that under intelligent domestication
the production of honey could be made large and
profitable. Experts who have studied the ques-
ton say that with butter at 40 cents, pound of
honey at II cents will be found equally econom-
cal a source of energy. The u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, d. C. will send
Farmers Bulletin 653, Honey and its Uses in
the Home" and other bulletins on related sub
jects to any applicants.
Bees serve good purpose besides the produc-
ton of useful food. They are essential to the
proper pollination of fruit trees. 1t is a well
known fact that the nectar, odor and bright
color of flowers are simply means of attracting
insects in order that the fertilizing pollin may
be carried from flower to flower. The honey bee
Is chief among inescts for this purpose. 1t is the
most easily controlled of all insects to do this
necessary work.
