That was the opinion among seed men
"The Transformation of pasture
lands to frain and staple food
production has left vast acreage bar
trcn," a member Of the oldest firm here
explained today. Ukraine, the colonies
of Britain and other nations plowed
I'D their pastures when war demand
cd more food. The spirit even invad-
ed America. Here in the midwest
many farmers abandoned the slow but
safe crop to grow wheat, oats or corn.
Even Kentucky ripped through tradi-
ton, turned over it's nickname and
planted corn and wheat. That has
put the field seed production at very
low ebb."
kansas City has fair supply of
field seed. Had it four times the guam
tity, the selling would be as easy, as
cessation of hostilities from all over
the world" said another large seed
merchant.
1.-The United States now Is the die
tator in seeds, as well as in foods" he
said. "Our nation must supply its do
mestic needs first and then must par
eel out to the world its surplus Great
Britain, the largest owner of pastures
in the world, must resow its acres.
Since the signing Of the armistice
Nov. II, cablesrams carrying appeals
for tons Of field seeds have been re-
ceivcd from individuals and firms in
Denmark, Norway, Argentina, Brazil,
English, Australia, Japan and Sweden.
These orders came direct, and, when
filled, will be billed through to destina-
tion without aid or effort of brokers
or commission men. They mark a
world wide recognition of Kansas City
Gs a field seed market.-Kansas City

Orangeburg, May 21: A large
meeting of the stockholders OF the
Orangeburg Packing Company was
held at Orangeburg yesterday IN re-
sponse to call of Capt. j. H. Cla11y'
president of the Orangeburg county
Farmers Union. A full discussion OF
the company's affairs was entered in
to by stockholders and former offlcers
of the company. An expert account
ant, who audited the books, was also
present to explain what he knew. II
appears that the failure could not be
avoided, the larger packers putting
this small company out of business
together with the high prices OF raw
material and wages under war con-
ditions. Practically nothing was ac-
complished at the meeting other than
to appoint a committee to confer With
the receiver and those connected with
the legal end of the failure as to
whether there Is any chance OF reor-
ganization and to prevent the sale OF
the plant. All indications are that
the plant will be sold under the re-
ceivership in the state courts, II bank
ruptcy proceedings are not instituted

House Endorses Woman SUFFRAGE

National suffrage for women was en-
dorsed by the house Of representatives
for the second time Wednesday when
the Susan B. Anthony amendment re-
solution was adopted by vote Of 304
to SO. Supporters Of the measure i'm
mediately arranged to carry their
fight to the senate where, although
twice defeated at the last session,
they are confident of obtaining the
necessary two thirds vote.
The victory for the suffrage forces
Wednesday was by AZ votes more than
the required two-thirds. On the pre-.
vious ballot on the resolution, cast
January 10, 1918, exactly the necessary
number of affirmative votes were re-
corded. congressman Byrnes, Nichols
and Stevenson voted against the re-
solution

schools. These boys and girls must
s'weave up the raveled sleeve" or CIV
ilization. Their hands must minister
to the wounds of the nations. Theii
minds must meet and solve the diffi-
cult and crucial problems that will be
their Inheritance. Their hearts must
be so imbued with the horrors OF wal
and with the poverty and anguish that
inevitably follow in its wake that they
i'm their time will enter upon 1t only
as a last resort in national self-de-
fense or in support Of some great
principle of humanity.
Never has there been a more ur-
gent need for high minded, great
hearted, splendidly trained, 100 per
cent, American instructors to drive
home the vital lessons that these
times hold. Never has the future of
the nation been so clearly committed
into the hands of the teachers. And
yet thousands of men and women of
ability who would prefer to teach are
reluctantly leaving their chosen call
ing, forced by the hard necessities OF
their very existence.
The teachers ask no larsess at the
profession for service, not riches.
profession for service, not riches.
But they invest years and money in
for their life-work and
the knowledge they gain is shared
with others who themselves use 1t to
their own profit. Teachers. then. by
every right and in all justice, expect
a return that will permit them and
their dependents to live decently and
in comfort.
In every community reached by the
Literary Digest there are readers OF
foresight, of vision, broad minded
men and thoughtful women who will
perhaps have long since
seen-the critical and compelling i'm
portance Of this problem. We are di-
recting this appeal to them. We urge
them to compare the salaries Of their
teachers with the wages of those who
are doing work of equal value. There
will be a challenger in the facts that
will stir the community to action.
Let each community invest in
schools so that 1t may thereby invest
in a trained manhood and woman
hood that can play their part In the
great period of rebuilding and recon-
struction that lies before us. Let each
community set for it's goal, as far as
is practicable, minimum wage OF at
least $1,000 a year for the teachers Of
America. This would cost the nation
perhaps as much as we spent so glor-
iously in but one week Of the great
war.
We are not pleading merely for the
welfare of some single profession;
we are not pleading for special class;
we are not pleading for America, for
her larger, her brighter. her richer
future, for the fulfillment of her slor-
ious promise. We are pleading for a
coming race Of men and women who
shall be qualified to make complete
the work OF our forefathers who
founded this nation and dedicated it
to liberty, and who will bring to full
fruition the new victories that we have
won in freedoms cause. We are
pleading for a wider teaching of the
principles, the purposes, and the ideals
of this nation that all men shall know
her meaning md shall have equal ac-
cess to her opportunities; that the
light of Americanism will so shine
that it will food every home, every
heart, in our great land.-Literary Di-
gest.
