The Explosion at Halifax

On December 6, 1917, the city was wrecked
by the detonation of unnumbered tons Of high
explosives in the harbor. Ten million dollars
worth of property was destroyed. A city of
wounded and blinded cried for help.
A member of the American Red Cross,
trained in emergency relief, was on the scene
when it happened. He wired Washington,
and on the afternoon of the day the explosion
occurred, the American Red Cross perfected
its emergency organization and its relief work
was started.
A special Red Cross train of relief supplies
left New York the next day Another Red
Cross train filled with hospital supplies, to-
gether with sixty doctors and sixty nurses,
left Providence 4 base hospital complete in
equipment and personnel, left Boston. In all,
two hundred Red Cross workers and vast guam
titles of supplies soon arrived in Halifax. Ten
thousand were homeless in zero weather. The
combined efforts of the local authorities, the
Canadian Government and the American Red
Cross workers in unison soon brought adequate
relief to the city.
America through its Red Cross had again
giyen evidence to Canada that her trials are
our trials and earned the gratitude of that
great people beside whom we are now fighting
the fight for freedom.

The TusCania

Fresh in the memory of all is the sinking of
the Tuscania by the Germans in February.
The American soldiers and sailors who sur
vived the disaster were aided in every possible
way by the American Red Cross and the
British Red Cross from the time they landed
in Ireland. The food, the clothing, the new
uniforms, the loans of money, and especially
the word to the folks at home sent by the
Red Cross = the story has been told many
times.

~ HE idea is now enter
VI tanned by some that the
allies may take up a Wig
orous offensive this spring on
the assumption that the foe will
be more vulnerable now than
he will be after he has gotten
hold of Russian supplies.
If the allies are properly pre-
pared for such work the expe-
diency Of such an advance can
not be questioned. Nothing
would do more to discourage
the enemy and break down the
morale in their army and at
home than a big, decisive vic
torious allied drive through the
German lines. Nothing else
would be so effective toward
shaping up affairs to our liking
in Russia.

RAISE WHEAT

~ HIS newspaper shares the
VI view of Mr.. Shorthill
that farmers seeding
their spring acreage to barley
instead of wheat may find to
their sorrow next summer that
they have produced a crop of
which there is an oversupply
due to increased acreage. The
barley price may tumble as did
the potato price this year.
Stay with the wheat and be
sure of a good profit while at
the same time showing your
patriotism.
While the area of winter
wheat sown in 1917 was the
largest on record, the condition
of the crop, as reported on De-
cember 1, was the lowest ever
recorded, indicating a probable
production of only 540,000,00O
bushels. Whether the actual
production will be greater or
less than the estimate will de-
pend upon conditions prevail
ing between now and the time
of harvest.
If there were planted to
spring wheat in the United
States this year an acreage
equal to the sum of the record
planting in each spring wheat
state within the last 10 years,
there would be sown approx
mately %, 100000 acres. If
there should be planted an
acreage equal to the sum of
the record planting for each
state within the last five years,
there would be sown approx
mately 21,000,000 acres. The
record planting for any year
was 20,381, 900, in 1911. The
acreage for 1917 was 18,511,-f 4
900.
The Department Of Agricul-
ture has carefully studied all
these records and other data in
connection with the present
war conditions and needs, and 4
believes that it will be possible
this year to secure an acreage 1
in excess of the record acreage
which was planted in 1911. 1t I
is believed that increased acre
age can be secured in states
and sections where spring
wheat production is known to
be reasonably promising, and
hat such increases can be made
without upsetting farm plans.
