The fixing of the price OF wheat

up heaval of feed values.
AS the greater part of milling is
done in the west the eastern dairy

because the western farmers, quick

We have no reason TO be proud of

have had a decrease of five hundred

corn, oats, potatoes and sweet pota-

less corn this year than last. its feed

the difference. leaving US in about
the same condition as last year.
The result is that the retail feed

j. s. AVIATION
DEVELOPMENT
Maj. Gen. George 0. Squirer
Tells of Progress in
Air Flying.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11-Marvels OF
aviation development in the United
States during the war more like
a fairy tale than the statement Of
hard facts which it is in reality"
were described here tonight by Mai
Gen. George o. Squier. chief signal
officer Of the United States army. in
an address before the American IN
stitute Of Electrical Engineers.
The radiophone, an invention
which enabled American squadron
commanders TO direct and control by
voice the movements of individual
units. who in turn helped allied ar
tillerymen TO silence the German
guns was extolled as one of the
greatest devices or the war. The
production Of $4,000 Liberty motors
up TO Nov. IL. last. with an equiv
alent Of 100000 horsepower. was
cited as another remarkable achieve
ment and the motor itself as IAN
accomplishment in constructive i'm
agination and far sightedness which
will forever be a cause of pride 10
the American people"
Gen. Squier. in the course of his
address, which was delivered by di-
rectiOn of the secretary OF war. told
Of interesting experiments conduct
ed by the signal corps in aerology TO
aid the American expeditionary
forces. IL was asCertained from
these. he said that above the level
of 1000 feet, 50 percent of the
winds are from west to east and
often attain velocities of 100 miles
an hour on Nov. 6. 1918. at Chat
tanooga, Tenn, he said. a velocity
OF 154 miles an hour was observed
at a height of $4,000 feet. Know
edge of these conditions he added,
would be of the utmost importance
in the future of aviation.
Another scientific accomplishment
of the air service, the speaker said,
was the production of helium, a non
inflammable gas. in quantities suffi-
cient for balloon use. Predicting
that with its use safe trans-contl-
mental and trans Atlantic travel in
dirigibles would become common
place, TIE general credited the navy

time 10 come.
THE end of the war has brought
little or no relief. Food prices are

levels in order 20 stimulate produc-
ton to the utmost. Few will dis
