EUROPEAN DEMAND FOR
FLOUR IS INSISTENT

Atlanta, Ga, May $50 great has
become the European demand for
-four that the Food Administration is
urging farmers not to hold wheat for
seeding their next crop except in
few states where the period of har-
vesting winter overlaps the period of
planting.
While it has been the practice in
many communities for farmers to
hold over wheat for seed, the Food
Administration regards it as unneces-
sary. 1t is almost beyond belief that
in any part of the country the yield
from the next harvest will be INSULT
cinet to meet all seed requirements
tor the succeeding crop. 1t has never
ta1ld in the past; there is no reason to
believe it will now. In some Sec
tons conditions are such that if
would be practically impossible to put
IN a successful crop except with seed
that had been held over from the pre-
vious year. The Food Administra-
ton recognizes these conditions, how
ever, and applies its requests only to
those sections where the only reason
for holding over wheat would be to
protect against the possibility of fail
ure of the crop now growing-a con-
tingency which at present seems very
remote
Even should there be local crop
failures, it would be entirely feasible
to ship in from other sections seed
that is known to be adapted to con-
ditions ruling in the afflicted commu-
mites.
Never before has there been such
urgent need for wheat. Every car
load, every bushel and every grain
that can possibly leave the farm may
within the next few months play an
important part in our war program.
Throughout the country millions of
people are cutting their consumption
to the barest minimum, many of them
going entirely without wheat. The
release of thousands of bushels ordi-
narily held for seed would do much
to relieve the present situation and to
insure expectation conditions.
At the present rate of consumption
each bushel would provide bread for
at least one soldier in Europe until
the next harvest relieves the neces-
sity for such individual sacrifice at
home. And with every indication of
bumper crops the wheat seed can
easily be thrown on the market.

Atkinson Pioneer in
Water Development
Field in Georgia

Atlanta, Ga, May 16-In order to
develop the unused water powers Of
Georgia it will be necessary to bring
eastern capital to the state. and in
ORDER to bring eastern capital to the
state 1T will be necessary for the pub
lie utilities owning the water pow-
ers to put up a part of the cost of
the developments, and this they cam
not do under present rates, according
to statistics which habe been pre-
sented to the railroad commission
in connection with the pending De-
tlt1ons for increased rates. Hence
the really grave question to be de-
clded by the commission is whether
Georgia public utilities shall be COM
pensated for enormously increased
costs growing out of the war, so that
Georgia's industrial development NAV
go forward.

velopments now in operation in

EXPERTS PRODUCE AN

New Machine Marks Distinct Step
Forward in Mechanics Of Air

GOOD BIG AIRPLANE Is
SUPERIOR TO LITTLE ONE

Washington, Jan. 19,-Experts un-
der the aircraft production board are
already at work, it was learned Friday,
upon an engine that is expected to
surpass the liberty motor in power,
while retaining all the qualities for
quantity production.
While the original liberty motor in
cluded no mechanical experiments, the
designers have been given full latitude
in the new machine and it probably
will mark distinct progress in the art
of airplane engine designing. For that
reason details of construction are
highly confidential.
American experts have worked on
the theory that a good big airplane
is better than a good little airplane.
They believe superintendent of the
air will be the masters of the air, and
consequently the new engines are be-
ing developed to run planes of increas-
ed size and fighting power. Months
ago General Pershing urged the Am
erican designers anticipate craft arm
ed with six machine guns each. three
heavy and three light. At that time
no serio"s attempt was being made in
