Conference On Child Welfare
Standards Considers Sub
ject at Washington.
CHILDREN ARE COSTLY
Dean S. p. Breckenridge of University
of Chicago Declares Wage Bargains
Are inadequate to Obtain Mini
mum of Normal Life.

Washington, May 9.-The high cost
of children and the need for wage
adequate to enable each man to bring
up his family in comfort, were the
subjects for discussion at the second
meeting of the conference on child well
fare standards, conducted under the
auspices of the children's bureau OF
the United States department of Ia
Dor.
To rear a child to the age of 16 re-
quires the addition of s1,327 to the ex-
penditure of the family income, ac-
cording to Professor w. s. Ogburn OF
the National War Labor board, and
the average cost is even greater than
that sum. Figures, he said, show each
child means an additional $71S spent
for food, but the actual cost of the food
consumed by the child between l and
16 years of age amounts to $1.750. The
discrepancy had to be made up by sac
rifices on the part of other members
OF the family.
Mother Makes Sacrifice.
According to DR.. Royal Meeker of
the bureau Of labor statistics of the
department of labor, 1t is often the
mother who makes the sacrifice. DR..
Meeker said the statistics gathered by
his bureau show that, while the wife
spends about as much for clothing as
her husband before her first baby
comes, the amount she spends drops
with the addition of each child to her
family.
"The result said DR.. Meeker, "is
that the wife becomes a domestic
drudge"
Dean s. p. Breckenridge of the Uni
yersity of Chicago said:
Experience has shown the total in
adequacy of the wage bargain to OBJ
tain the minimum of normal life nee
essary for the good of the community.
The persons who have been the VIC
Tins of the discrepancy between
wages and The cost of living are be-
ginning to realize there is no excuse
for the existence of that discrepancy.
Unless something is done to remedy
the situation through the regular chan
nels OF the government, we must not
be surprised IL those most concerned
attempt to solve the problem by use of
violence and force"
Child Out of Home DepIored.
DIR. Rene Sand Of the University of
Brussels told the conference that "the
greatest aid to public health is mini
mum wage"
Judge. Victor P. Arnold of lthe Chi
cago juvenile court discussed the sub
ject of the removall of a childtfrom its
home, which, he said, he believed
should be resorted to only I'M extreme
cases.

Ninth District Federal Reserve
Bank Issues Report On
Crop Conditions.
ACREAGE is NO LARGER
Statement Says There Is Little Chance
for An Increase in Small Grains
Unless II May Be in
Amount of Rye.

Minneapolis, May 9.-Reports cover
ing the grain raising sections of the
Northwest do not indicate much pros
pect of an increased acreage this year
in the small grains unless it may be
rye, says the monthly crop report
issued by the Minneapolis Federal
Reserve bank.
North Dakota, the report says, does
not show a prospect of an increase in
the wheat, oats, or barley acreage. If
planting conditions continue favorable
in Montana that state may show an
increase in the wheat acreage.
Season Somewhat Late.
The season is from 10 to Is days
late, says the crop review, but the
planting ought to be completed by the
end of this week. The only localities
where wheat seeding will continue
in Northern Montana and in some
parts of Northern and Western North
Dakota.
The report sums up the crop and
planting conditions throughout the dis
trict as follows:
in Minnesota, the acreage of wheat
will not be affected by the season.
Wheat planting will be completed this
week, and the planting of other grains
will doubtless be accomplished by the
middle of the month or shortly after.
Of hn xxyh Sc
already seeded, and approximately 20
per cent of the other grains. Soil and
moisture conditions throughout this
district are nearly perfect, and the
outlook at this date is excellent.
Throughout the central and southern
portion of the state, wheat planting
is somewhat further advanced, and
the planting of other crops is making
good progress, except as it has been
temporarily delayed by showers, and
two or three days of freezing tenn
peratures.
Winter rye in southern Minnesota
and Wisconsin is particularly promis-
ing
THE season in South Dakota is
about 10 days late, and reports from
various sections indicate approximate
ly the same wheat acreage as last
year. There will be small decrease in
the acreage OF both oats and barley,
and in all probability an increase in
the corn acreage. The rye acreage
will increase about 10 per cent.
Same Acreage Indicated.
Throughout eastern North Dakota
reports indicate about the same wheat
acreage as last year, and that seed
ing with favorable weather will be
completed this week, or early next
week at the latest. The season In
North Dakota is about 10 days late
but soil and moisture conditions are
very satisfactory. In the central and
western portions of the state, the
same favorable soil and moisture con
ditions prevail, but the season is
about Is days late
I'm the northern counties of Mon.
tana, the season is from 10 to Is days
late. In the northeastern portion OF
the state only relatively small pro
portion of the wheat planting has been
completed and seeding will continue
at least 10 days.
''In the Yellowstone valley about rs
per cent of the wheat is already in
the ground.
'In western Montana the prepara
tion Of the ground was never con
Quoted under more favorable condi
tions. General rains have helped the
spring planting, and winter wheat il
in fine condition"
