msnts we're increased. Relation pfsc
tices we're inteFfefed With. To tie ex-
tent that the wheat acreage was IN
creased, the climatic hazard Was In
creased, because, under the extensive
arm practice that chara cterizes the
4 H1erican agriculture. wheat is cro,'
tha. Is very sensitive to climatic IN
certainty. Such = practice long con-
tinued was likely to result, therefore,
not in increased food production at
all, but in actually reduced food pro
duction. In the long run, that would
be the inevitable result. Even. if by
some miracle. the hazard Of weather
could be escaped, the practice would
reduce soil fertility until yields would
be greatly cut down. But, before that
even, meat production would be harm
sically as spiritually that man does
not live by bread alone. Very largely,
he lives by meat. And meat animals
on grain alone. Most largely. they
grow and produce on green grass and
dry grass-pasture and hay.
Return 70 Sound Farming
Those are some of the reasons why
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture began urging. almost imme
diately after the signing Of the armis-
tice and continuously since, . return
to sound agricultural practice-the re
turning to pasture and hay lots, to
clover and other fertilizsr-fixing
crops, sole of the land that had been
used for grain during the war emer-
gency. The suggestion has been criti-
cised from some quarters, because in
some quarters it has been misunder-
stood.
Specifically, the department recon-
mended that it was not advisable to
undertake to maintain the wheat acre
age sown for the crop Of 1919. That
did not imply that the department urg
ed a smaller food production in the
country. II did mean that the de
partment was urging an increase in
the food production of the country by
steadying agriculture, by reducing
the hazards that necessarily play into
the hands of spectators, by returning
agriculture to peace basis that would
insure adequate production Of all
kinds of food for this year and for 9th
er years. And that meant restoring
pastures, restoring hay fields. insur-
ing feed for the meat animals upon
which the tables of the Nation de-
pend.
This return to sound agricultural
practice is important to the farmer
certainly. But it is not more import

transported over seas. Wheat is pre-
eminently that kind of food, and other
grain crops are to an extent such.
Very many farms, therefore, got too
heavy on the side of titled and cereal
crops and too light on the side of hay
crops and pasture. Many farmers in

War needs caused the plowing up of

specialists of the Department Of Agri

make his plans for planting the kind

National Commission Awards Soldier
Pitcher to McGraw.

New York, Feb. 14.--The title of
the Giants to Pitcher Jesse Winters,
now a lieutenant in the Army, yester-
day was upheld by August Hermann
chairman of the National commission
Winters is a young college pitcher,
tried out by the Giants last spring.
He was released to the Kansas City
club of the American association I'M
der an optional agreement, and was
drafted in June.
The New York club took note of
printed interview with John Camel,
manager Of the Kansas City club, in
which Camel was quoted as saying
that New York had lost title to the
pitcher by failing to exercise it's option
on him, and that Winters was now the
property Of the American association.
The New York club quickly took the
matter up with the commission, giving
proof that it had exercised it's option
on August 3, after the American as
ISOLATION had suspended for the year
Hermann then ruled the New York
club never had lost title to Winters.
Winters has accepted terms with the
Giants for the 1919 season.
