TO THE PATRIOTS ON THE

You are asked TO undertake
another offensive-to go cover
the top" this fall for a great
wheat harvest in 1919. | need
give only few figures and
facts to impress you with the
increasing and urgent need of
our people, our armies, the al
lied peoples and their armies
for large supplies of American
wheat.
Our reserve supply or carry
over from the 1917 crop is
practically exhausted and is
the smallest on record. The
need of building up reserves of
wheat is evident. Attic ugh
this country produced a small
crop of this grain in 1917, the
total exports of wheat in excess
Of imports, including flour in
terms of wheat, amounted to
approximately 100,000,000 bu-
shells for the year ending June
30, 1918. This in comparison
with 178,000,000 bushels ex-
ported in 1917, 236,000,000
bushels in 1916, and 331, 000,-
900 bushels in 1915. 1t was
possible for the United States
tC export wheat in large guam
title in 1915 and 1916 only be-
cause of the large wheat crops
of 1912-13-14-15, which gave
this country an accumulation of
stocks of this grain. Both the
1916 and 1917 crops were
smaller than any crops since
1911 and besides this there
was a greater demand for seed
wheat and an Increased pop
ulation to be fed.
Moreover, it must be borne
in mind that the carry-over in
all the ten importing countries
In Europe was practically ex-
hausted this year, before the
new harvest; that the normal
requirements of the exporting
countries are increasing in
stead of diminishing; that
some losses in storage and tran
sit may be expected to contin-
ne; and that it is highly desir-
able that a surplus should de
accumulated as insurance
against partial crop failure
next year.
You have been asked to SOW
to winter wheat this fall not
less than 45,000,000 acres-an
increase of 7 per cent over last
years sowing-and the De-
paltment has suggested that
an even greater area, 47,500,-
600 acres, is desirable. The in
creased planting asked of each

termined with regard to its To-

Trapshooters May
Form New Association

combination Of several of the trap
shooting organizations is under way
and il appears probable that ma
tlonal association will soon exist for
the benefit Of the sport and amateur
and professional shooters. The old
Interstate Trapshooting Association,
through its development department.
IS being reorganized along new and
broader lines. and the American ANA
teur Traps hooters Association is being
combined with it.
The plans for the new association
are in many ways similar to the A. A.
i. and the United States Golf Associa-
ton. They provide for the member
ship Of all amateur shooters. who
will control the sport through rem
resentatives from the state associa-
tons. In addition to these member
ships. provision is made for sup
PORTING memberships by all interested
organizations.
1t IS proposed that the new asso-
cation shall compile the averages of
al shooters and arrange for their
handicapping and classification. II
will also arrange for and provide tro-
plies, award medals. determine rules
and regulations for the sport and for
the determination of state and ma
tional champions.

The third hole, of 366 yards, dog
leg hole, was won by Clark and Foth-

three holes in succession, and it looked
bad for Anderson and Cameron, as
there were only six more holes to play.
The fourth hole was halved in par
and the fifth in one over par. Anderson
had a chance to do something on the
sixth hole, as he was only five feet
from the cup on his second shot, but
missed his putt for 8, and the hole
was halved by all hands in the par of
A. The match ended on the seventh
hole of 235 yards, when Fotheringham
drove onto the green and holed a twelve
foot putt for 2. This gave them the
match by up and 2 to play. The two
bye holes were then played for the gal

gridiron glory in another era. And
that was in the days when Leonard
