FARMERS SHOULD NOT
HOLD WHEAT FOR SEEDING

Columbia, May 1870 great has
become the European demand for
flour that the Food Administration is
urging farmers not to hold wheat for
seeding their next crop except in a
few states where the period of har-
vesting winter wheat 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 unnec-
essary 1t is almost beyond belief
that in any part of the country the
yield from the next harvest will be
insufficient to meet all seed require
ments for the succeeding crop. It
has never failed in the past; there is
no reason to believe it will now. In
some sections conditions are such that
it would be practically impossible to
put in a successful crop except with
seed that had been held over from
the previous year. The Food Admin
istration recognizes these conditions.
however, and applies it's requests
only to those sections where the only
reason for holding over wheat would
be to protect against the possibility
of failure of the crop now growing
contingency which at present seems
very remote.
Even should there be local crop
failures, it would be entirely feast
bic to ship in from other sections seed
that is known to be adpated to condi-
tions in the afflicted communities.
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 re
lease of thousands of bushels ordina
lily held for seed would do much to
relieve the present situation and to
insure expectation conditions.
At the present rate of consump-
ton each bushel would provide bread
for at least one soldier in Europe will
the next harvest relieves the necessity
for such individual sacrifice at home
And with every indication Of bumper
crops the wheat seed can easily be
thrown on the market.

RAILROAD PAY

One OF the most gratifying results
Of federal railroad operation has
been the reduction Of inequalities in
pay. The process began with the
granting OF higher wages to what
might be called the middle class en-
ployes, the .aristocracy of labor"
represented by the railroad unions.
IL soon became evident that there
was much greater Injustice in the
ease Of hundreds OF thousands Of un-
organized labores, clerks and other
employees.
While the trainmen we're getting
$1,000 to $1,000 a year. there we're
100000 men and women getting
less than ss5 per month, and thous-
ands Of them less than $50 month.
It was the obvious thing to raise
their pay, as the administration has
recently done.
It was no less an obvious thing
though contrary to usual corporate
practice. to go to the other end oi
the scale and lower the pay Of the
highest-salaried employees. Man
ayers OF lines were getting, in mum
erous cases, $4,000 to 100000 I
year. Those salaries may have beer
earned. according to the accepted
standards Of big business; but in |
system operating under public con
troll. and particularly in system
where the director-genera1 only re
ceived $4,000 year, It seemed i'm
possible to Justify them.
Some millions have therefore bee
Topped off the salaries Of manager
to help swell the pay Of the humb1
wage-worker. 1t is a practical appl
cation of democracy that meets wit
public approval.
