OUTLOOK FOR CROPS
APPEARS OPTIMISTIC
Millers and Grain Men Predict Out
put Will Be Large.

Chicago, March S1.-Crop prospects
in both the winter and spring wheat
belts have changed for the better.
The Modern Miller in its crop outlook
made reports from millers and grain
men IN the Southwest and says there
is a big improvement in conditions
surrounding the winter wheat outlook
in that entire belt.
The seeding of spring wheat was
started in earnest two weeks earlier
Prospects in the Northwest are op-
timistic. The labor shortage has
been partially made up by the in
creased use of small tractors.
The acreage. will depend largely on
the seed available and the fitness OF
the soil, which is said to be in good
condition in nearly the entire spring
wheat country. Indications are that
all available land viii be seeded to
wheat. 1t is expected the wheat acre
age will be larger than last year and
that there will also be an increase in
the barley acreage.
1t is expected that the oats to be
seeded will be about the same as last
year. There will be a decrease in the
corn acreage, while winter rye will
be increased and fax decreased.

.CLERGYMEN TO help
secure farm LABOR
Employment Service Asks Help to
Prevent Food Shortage.

ClergymeR Of the District have been
enlisted in the campaign of the EN-
ployment Bureau of the Department
of Labor to furnish war emergency
farm workers needed by the farmers
Of Virginia and Maryland. in a letter
made public last night.
An offlce where applications of those
willing to work on nearby farms has
been opened by the bureau at 100
Pennsylvania avenue. and here lists
Of farmers needing help will be kept
and labor furnished Immediately the
men apply.
Men and boys willing to do war
emergency farm service on nearby
farms when they are needed are asked
to register at the District office" the
bureau announced last night. Food
is one of the vital necessities for the
winning Of this war. Farmers, truck
ers and gardeners are called upon in
this emergency to cultivate intensely
every foot of ground.
"Clergymen are asked to cooperate
by impressing upon their congrega-
tions at their regular services and all
other meetings the necessity for in
creased food production and for help
ing farmers"
Farmers needing labor should make
application at the bureau.

reasonable as well as sure return
upon the investment
When this loan il subscribed IL is
regarded as certain that Secretary Nc
Adoo will not find 1t necessary to
ask the people to subscribe to a
Fourth Liberty Loan until late in the
fall OF this year. possibly not until
early winter. By that time the peo-
pie should have accumulated new saw
ings. One feature which the secretary
has incorporated into the new loan
proposition, namely the providing for
a sinking fund. meets with universal
approval. especially among the larger
financiers. They are persuaded that
this feature Of itself will serve greatly
to add to the attractiveness of the
proposition as a means for the in
vestment Of surplus funds.
Whether the large corporations are
to be able to make subscriptions that
will compare with those which they
made for the First and Second Lib
erty loans Is doubtful The corpora
tons will be compelled to contribute
In another way for their payment of
taxes to the government this year will
