SPRING WHEAT IS
NEAR TOTAL Loss
Red Rust and Blight Reverse
Conditions In South Dakota
Winter Crop a
Heavy Yield.

Parkston, s. d, July 11.-Hundreds
of thousands of acres Of spring wheat
In central, southern and eastern South
Dakota that 10 days ago promised
yields OF 20 to 40 BUSHES per acre are
SO badly hit with red rust and blight
two to five bushels per acre will be the
yield. Many farmers will make no Eff
fort to harvest the crop, will let II fall
and turn the straw under. Others will
cut for the forage 1t. will afford while
many others will turn sheep and other
stock into the fields.
The wheat most affected is of the
Marquis variety, a heavy yielder In
favorable years. 1t is q smooth headed
variety. Later sown fields and the
bearded varieties are not badly af-
fected and still give promise OF abund-
ant crops.
Many thousands Of acres Of winter
wheat have been harvested or are
ready for harvest. This IL q good crop
and yields OF 20 to 80 bushels are
claimed. ~ t -

Filling the Vacuum.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
With the advent Of prohibition the
church militant faces a new duty and n
new responsibility. The saloon was the;
clubhouse OF poor men. They met In It.
for a cheerful cOnviviality generally de-
MED them elsewhere. Human nature, like
any other sort OF nature. labbors a
vacuum. Alcohol may be denatured much
more quickly than OF those who
have ebeen in the habit of consuming 1t.
In social reform the end desired Is not
achieved by merely sweeping ava what
ever is, without providing an acceptable
substitute. Those who no longer fore
gather under the genial eye of h bar
tender now forlornly seek another rem
devious. . .t...,a ... .a7Ea
Surely, IL It IL important that people,
should go TO church it Is just as import
ant that the church SHOULD go to the
people. especially in this era of restless
quest and question. when the foundations
Of faith are tested and those who pro-
Tess a genuine interest in their fellow men,
are called upon to prove II by their works.

France Will Clean House.
From the Seattle Times.

1t is none of Americas business, but the
fact remains nevertheless that France is
destined to go through a period Of house
cleaning, probably In the very near future.
Powerful French agencies are striving to
continue and perpetuate the drastic regu-
lations on industry which war rendered
necessary, because they have found these
regulations profit their personal interests.
Sugar Is furnished candy factories and
canning concerns In unlimited amount,
but is deled out to the people. One who
will pay exorbitant prices can obtain all
the candy he desires-but he must get
along with a scanty provision OF sweeten-
ing for domestic use. American business
men, desiring to do business with. Euro
pean concerns, find they must negotiate
with mysterious trade organizations,
which say what they may sell and to
whom, what the Frenchman may buy
and from whom.

The Mixup Over the Army.
From the Springfield Republican.

The republican Senate fixes upon 400,
900 men as the right size Of the army In
the year beginning July l. The republi-
can House voted that 100000 was large
enough. Our ''pacifist" secretary OF war.
as he used to be called, recommended
600, 900 as the irreducible minimum. In
his topsy-turvy world, the queerest re-
versals are possible and we may yet see
the National Security League demanding
absolute disarmament and Henry Ford
preaching preparedness. Meanwhile, the
real solution of the Washington mystery
is probably this: The republicans are
trying desperately to cut down expenses
SO as to cut dow taxes-a p~raiseworthy
effort-and that means cutting down the
most expensive army in the world below
ever the figure deemed safe for this par
ticular period of a "pacifist" secretary.

FARMERS PRICES AND

David F. Houston, Secretary Of
Agriculture, does not assent to the
theory that the prices of farm prod

manufactured commodities fall. He
makes this clear in replying to a re-
cent communication in which it was
stated that "There must be drop in
prices before there is drop in
wages, and it would seem that the
farmer is the man who is going to be
first hit"
This theory has been advanced by
q number of manufacturers, said the
Secretary, who continued, "'It is
clearly an unjust contention. II
manifestly would not do to ask farm.

that they have to buy from manufac

Like Roderick Dhu, Gone blast upon

fall in price, and that then manufac-
turers will consider what they will do
with reference to their own prices.
Obviously, manufacturers must be
willing to make at least a contem-
poraneous decrease in their prices.
It might even be contended that they
should make a prior decrease in their
prices, since the farmers operations
involve year and he could not re-
coup for IL months, or could not re-
coup at all, because, on the theory
put forth, his products would fall in
price. It SENS to me that business
men must be brought to realize that
if we are to get back to the normal
they must set about Immediately to
do their part. and unquestionably
profteering in manufactured prod
ucts must be eliminated.
"Of course, everything possible
will be done to enable the farmer to
produce more economically, so that II
prices do fall he will not sustain a
loss, or so great loss. All the ef-
forts of the Department Of Agricul-
ture and Of the land-grant colleges
have this aim. They are trying to
bring about better methods Of culti-
vation, better financing, better mar
keting, the elimination of plant and
animal diseases and insect pests, and
the better utilization Of labor. Much
has ben done in this direction and
more will be done as time passe."
