vent the landing of large forces in France. But
by its foul methods of warfare it has already
sunk many millions of tons of ships. Not only
has that world loss to be than made up. but
we have to provide a large further tonnage to
keep on sending soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
denied job of not only feeding army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only part of what need. Later those ships
Will be necessary in bringing back victorious
soldiers from Europe But at present and for
some time to come the movement is of full
ships to Europe and fairly empty back.
The United States is now the great reservoir
from which supplies be drawn. The enor-
nous gain in exports shows how other ma
lions are increasingly looking to to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline
still the whole there is every probability of
their increasing, not only during the but
ulated and devastated. Many Of the rich wheat
growing sections Including almost all of the win
ter-wheat producing areas Of Russia. In the
Germans possession. Conditions In Russia are
chaotic. The western European allies produced
in 1917 about 222oOOOO0 bushels less than the an
nual pre-war average There was great drop
also In the wheat production of other European
countries. Argentina. Australia and India are
producing good crops. But there is no shipping
to move 1T properly.
While the war is on there is big enough de-
mand from our allies in Europe for materials of
all kinds. We have to supply coal. steel. oil,
ton. lumber, rails. locomotives and a great guam
tity OF other products After the war when the
job of rehabilitating Europe Ii put through, the
demand upon this country for raw and nanufac-
tured material of all kinds will be enormous. We
shall also have to replenish the depleted herds of
Europe from our own cattle. Ours in fact will
be the task Of supplying most of the world.
So it IS clear that besides the of tons of
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy.

rine- In 1914 only $166 100000 OF the more than
50. 600 100000 of exports carried In Amer-
can vessels. Even great part of the cargo
vessels or requisitioned chartered allied
neutral vessels.
Not only the Atlantic but on all oceans we
have abundance of American ships.

lantic and Pacific oceans have been linked by the

$2,659,OO0OOO worth of merchandise.
We need ample ships the Pacific to
serve China. Japan, the Philippines.
Russia Australia. All of these countries as
well Central and South America have materials
products which need just they need ours.
Australia recently had surplus stated to be
3OOO0O,OO0 bushels of wheat and another big
plus in process of gathering. There enough.
in fact, to feed England and France for a year.
But it was of practical to the allies There
were no vessels to be spared for the long haul
which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia to
England.
Last year there was a surplus in Java of 1OOO-
600 tons of sugar which other parts of the world
needing badly could not get because of lack of
ships.
Great heaps of coffee spelling on the East
Indian wharves. There was shipping to move
it to other countries.
Pyrites, which was badly needed here, could not
be brought from Spain because of the want of
ships.
These but few examples of what ship
famine means
needed for the purposes already described, there
is also the pressing necessity for multiplying
the number of ships tugs and barges for domes-
tic coastwise, lake and inland waterway trans
portation These are Of the most vital impor-
to the farmer Our inland. lake and coast
waterways be used to transport vast guam
titles of wheat and other products. and freight
of all kinds can be sent back on the return
trip This transportation will be cheaper to
the farmer and greatly tends to relieve railway
congestion
In less than a years time the accomplish
ments of the United States shipping board have
been on unprecedented scale. Where in 1917
there were only 81 shipyard plants In the United
States, there 15S, and be-
ing constantly established The United States
shipping board has given out contracts for $751;
600 lightweight tons of ships, and has already
put in service 831,111 lightweight tons Of new
shipping. This In addition to 2.O73,826 dead
weight tons OF neutral and allied ships under
charter, German and Austrian ships seized and
Dutch ships requisitioned 1t Is launching new
ships rapidly. and is beginning to make prov1-
sion for tugs and barges for inland and coast
wise water traffic From the small number Of
1926 men employed in American shipyards an
April i. 1917, the force of shfpbuilders in our
yards has now increased 100000.
With this progress American farmers can Ioo1x
forward to the certainty of great merchant ma

void missing any issues. If re-
newal is not received by date on
label the paper will be stopped.
This, as practically everybody un-
derstands now, is in accordance
with a regulation of the War In

US off from the privilege Of buy

supplies if we should send the pa
per to any whose subscriptions are
not paid in advance. Often sub
scribers who neglected to remit
before the expiration of the time
for which their subscription was
paid ask US, in sending in renewal
to send them the papers they have
missed. We are glad to do this
whenever. it is possible to do so
but oftener than otherwise it is
impossible to comply with re.

that the supply Of each issue is
