FOR A WHEAT RESERVE.

Along with public announcements
that our production OF wheat and other
basic foodstuffs this year will amply
suffice for the needs OF ourselves and
our allies, the government Is appeal
ing 10 American farmers TO Increase
our wheat output next season. and
limiting that return TO normal con
sumption should not be expected.
This years wheat, which the Agri-
cultural Department hoped would to-
tai round billion bushels. is now eX-
pected 10 amount TO a little less than
800 600 900 bushels. With that total,
even II we kept the usual quantity for
domestic consumption, We should have
left about $4,000 900 for export
Figuring on "a moderate degree of
economy, we may expect to. have a
surplus OF 400 600, 600 bushels or more.
This surplus becomes still more i'm
pressive when we consider that our
major allies have considerably more
wheat of their own than they raised
last year. There are big crops and
liberal SURPRISES. too, in Australia and
Argentina
Why. then. should be proceed to
raise still more wheat, and continue
saving, thus adding to the surplus at
both ends? The answer is simple.
inauguTated by Joseph, Pharaoh's food
administrator, in ancient Egypt. In
years of plenty, Joseph prepared for
years of deaTth. Instead of using up
Egypts record crops, he limited con-
sumption and kept right on encourage
ing production. AS result, when the
seven lean years came. Egypt and
neighboring nations were saved from
starvation.
Our food administration seems TO be
copying Josephs wheat corner" A
liberal surplus. just how much nobody
knows, will be held out and stored up.
The country will aim again at the
billion-bushel mark next year, and
while using wheat more freely than
of late. will keep on economiZing
throughout the year. If our allies
crops fail next year. we can then save
them. II surplus is possible again
next year, we shall save that, too, for
the sake OF security. Sooner or later.
we and the rest of the world are pretty
certain to need that wheat. AS for
the Australian and Argentinian sup
ply, IL is not available, owing to the
lack of ships. Eventually it may add
TO our own surplus.
Our duty. then, as a nation and as
individuals, as producers and consum-
ers. is plain. We must produce all we
can, and consume no more than we
absolutely need And this policy ap-
plies not only to wheat. but TO all non
peTishable foodstuffs.

GERMANY SAYS REASON HER
ENEMIES OBJECT TO GAS Is
THEIR LACK OF INTELLIGENCE II
(By Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, May 2o.-Professor
Haber, head of the Chemical Research
Institute of Berlin, has just been
awarded the Bunsen medal for lee
ture on the Relationship of the Ex-
act Sciences to Militarism." The
medal, il is stated, is no longer made
of gold, but "of the best German steel,
as is appropriate to the times"
The lecturer argued that the war
has established the necessity of the
closest cooperation between men OF
science and military organizers and
leaders. He said that "this co-opera.
ton will be necessary as long as wars
remain necessary, and that will be
for long time"
Describing the development of the
use of gas in warfare, Professor Ha
Der said: "Gas attacks arose on boil
sides out of the requirements of thu
situation. Throughout history, at
tempts have always been made t
smoke out the enemy when war ha
hecome stationary. The reason VIII,
the use of gas is disliked by our enc
mics is that the use of protection
against gas attack calls for specia

FLORIDA GROWERS ARE
URGED TO SAVE SEED
(New York Packer.)


Jacksonville, Fla, May 20. Good
seed is becoming scarce. Next season
seed of fine quality will be hard to
get Take care of seed you may have
from any crop growing from now on.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture is endeavoring to secure
information as to where seeds may be
obtained, says l.. M. Rhodes, State
Marketing Commissioner. Good crops
are possible only when good seeds
are used. Prof. P. H. Rolls, director
of the Experiment Station, In his
new book entitled, "Subtropical Veg
etable Gardening" urges the saving
Of homegrown seed as well as test
ing samples before planting. In the
matter of saving seed the North Caro-
lima Experiment Station in recent
bulletin said:
THE fact that the seed of snap
beans are now selling for SIG per
bushel wholesale, or soc to 81 a
quart at retail, will impress on the
gardener the Importance of not can
ming, drying or selling all his crop
but of carefully saving and storing
his seed for next years crop.
MANY growers of field and vege
table crops discard good homegrown
seed under the impression that it is
inferior to what they buy from seeds
men. There is nothing intricate about
the production Of seed, and well-se
lected homegrown seeds are apt tC
be higher grade stock than a great
deal of the bulk seeds bought and SOLD
by seedsmen
Tomato growers sometimes lose
through the use of low-grade com
mercial seed washed out of the waste
in canning factories" says Mr.
Rhodes. ITO insure against this Tho
better way is to save seed from thu
best specimen grown on the fines
plants. By doing this it is possible Il
develop excellent strains. Good sect
properly ripened, pulp, intact, AM
free from disease-is essential for Sc
curing large yield. 1t is crop insur
ance for growers to lay in suppl,
of seed from the best plants of thei
own growing, where it is possible.
