A CONGESTION OF GRAIN.
Northwest Has Enough to Feed the
World.

There is more grain in store at Lake
SUPERIOR terminal elevators according
to a Duluth, Mimi, dispatch, than
ever before in history, awaiting ship
ment to the east and to Europe. IL
amounts to about 6S,0O0,0OO bushels
wheat alone, aside from considerable
quantity of other grains. The ele-
vators here have now SO,oOO,OOO BUSH
els of wheat on hand, and those OF the
Canadian ports Of Port Arthur
and Fort William about 3S'Ooo'ooo
bushels of wheat. Both places are
full and can take practically no more
until relieved by lake shipments.
Nearly all that which is in store
here is the property of the United
States Food Administration, while
that in the Canadian ports is largely
owned by European governments. Most
of all the great total is contracted for
foreign delivery as fast as ships can
take it. That here has been sold
abroad at prices which net the Food
Administration no loss on the guaran-
teed price.
AS soon as there is room at eastern
ports for the receipt of grains. and
as soon as ships can arrive to take 1t
forward, the movement out will begin.
There is little obstruction now to the
navigation of the lakes from ice; and
navigation will doubtless open much
earlier than usual. 1t is now believed
that ships will be taking grain for
ward early in April. This will give

The Kansas Wheat crop.-sprins

The Kansas Wheat crop.-Spring.

opens in Kansas with the earth soaked
and the 100000 acres Of wheat
green. Never before in the states his
tory on March 20 has the soil been
so saturated with moisture. Difference
between this winter and last Is strik-
ing. A year ago there had been very
little snow and no rain to speak OF
and spring came with the wheat fields
dry. Snow and rains have fallen in
cessantly all this winter, and to cap 1t
all the state has just been delused with
a rain that in more than half Of Its
area averaged nearly five inches.
Growers and grain men say there
is ample moisture in the earth now
to make" bumper yield. Many say
the goal Of 20O,O000O0 bushels set by
the growers will be realized, and sew
eral elevator men who have just WIS.,
tied the big wheat belt Of central and
western Kansas believe the states
yield will go above that figure.
Thousands of head Of cattle have
been pastured on the rank wheat dur
ing the winter and will go to market
as fat and sleek as If fed upon corn
and other grain.

Expeditionary Soldiers Write Many

Expeditionary Soldiers Write Many
Letters.-Since the American troops
overseas have stopped fighting they
have taken to letter writing and re-
membering friends at home with
souvenirs from the battlefelds OF
France. This is indicated by a post
office department announcement that
amount of mail from the American
expeditionary force had increased more
than 20 per cent since the cessation OF
hostilities.
The volume of souvenirs sent back
to the United States by parced post may
be measured by the ton, the depart
ment asserted. Curios sent mostly
by the soldiers are shell cases, parts
Of rifles and revolvers,, bayonets, uni
form buttons and small fragments of
demolished airplanes. Captured Ger
man helmets, however are the most
prised tokens. Five hundred thousand
of these have come through the mail
since the war began.
During November nearly 1S,OOO,OOD
letters were dispatched from Bor-
deaux and many millions more from
Brest. Since then the mail shipments
have been increasing steadily and In
February nearly 22,000,000 letters were
sent from Bordeaux alone. Frequent
ly twelve to fifteen letters a day have
been sent by a soldier and one private
established a record by writing thirty
in a single day. Mail from this coun-
try to troops overseas is now being
delivered without delay. The ad-
dresses of soldiers are not changed as
often as before armistice.

December 1917 to January 1, 1919.
War savings certificates were adopt

war savings stamps were first issued
in December, 1917.
In Great Britain, nearly three hum
dred million certificates have been
sold since 1916, to January, 1919,
bringing in approximately s1,100,OOO,-

REMARKABLY MILD WINTER.
More Sunshine and Less Snow Thar
for Many Years.

There was more sunshine and less
snow throughout most of the United
States during the winter just passed
than ever before in the memory of the
present generation. In only one Sec
ton of the country-the plateau reg
ion-was the weather severe and there
low temperature records were estab-
lished. Snow falling in November in
the plateau region remained through
out the winter.
Everywhere else, reports to the
Washington weather bureau just made
available show that the temperature
was so high that snow stayed on the
ground in only a few isolated in
stances more than day or two.
Heretofore low temperatures have
prevailed during winters with the re-
suit that crops, especially of winter
wheat and oats have suffered. Dur
ing the past winter, however, the
combination of light snow and high
temperatures have resulted in the
sturdy growth of grains. Generally
the temperatures over virtually the
entire country were from five to ten
degrees above normal.
Frequent warm rains and absence
of severe cold snaps" also helped
crops. Continued good weather re-
Gently has been helpful, especially to
fruit bearing plants and trees and a
bumper crop is promised. Grazing
lands likewise have been benefited.
The ice crop appears to have been
the only one to suffer because of the
mildness Of the winter. Lack Of freez-
ing temperatures resulted In navigation
being open practically all winter on
the rivers and lakes of the United
States. Weather bureau reports said
today there was bound to be consid-
erablc shortage of natural ice for con-
sumers during the coming summer.
Bureau statistics show that the
rather general notion that the past
winter actually was the mildest ever
known, instead of merely one OF the
mildest, is erroneous. The winter OF
1S75-76 was considerably warmer, as
was the winter of 1S77-7S. The winter
of 1882 was about like that just
past and in 1SS9-9O it was consider
ably warmer in the section east of the
Mississippi river. The winter OF
19O5'-O6 fell slightly short of being as
mild as that Of 1918-19.

Thrifty Yanks Make Interesting and

Thrifty Yanks Make Interesting and
important iseovery.-Fishins shirts,
vests, soldiers jenkins, leggins, COM
fort bags and other clothing from the
oceans bottom has been the latest
kind Of work for the fisher folk at
Vineyard Haven, Mass. But the gov
ernment has stepped in and spoiled all
the fun and all the profit as well.
When the steamship Port Hunter
carrying $6,000,000 worth Of clothing
to Uncle Sans soldiers overseas, was
wrecked off the cape it was found that
lsalvaged clothing rotted two days af-
ter it had been taken from the salt
sea. But the thrifty and ingenious
Yankees here found that by washing
the clothing in fresh water as soon as
1t was brought ashore it was as good
as new
So the fishermen forgot their travis
and lines and each day small feet
would put to sea supplied with grap-
ping hooks on the ends Of long poles.
At night the feet would sail home laden
with all sorts of clothing. On the beach
with washtubs filledw ith fresh water
and soap were the thrifty housewives.
Next morning almost every sort Of O
piece Of clothing found On soldier or
in his kit was Tapping from the
clothesline.
Everything was going fine with the
fisher people until few days ago when
the government at Washington, which
had previously given up the work Of
salvage, suddenly came to the rea-
lization that washing with fresh water
prevented the clothing from rotting.
The war department promptly issued
an order to the headquarters Of the
department Of the northwest in Bos-
ton instructing an immediate inves-
tigation Of the Port Hunter and the
possibility and advisability of making
an attempt to salvage the cargo.
Meanwhile, the army officers were or
dered to stop petty pilfering" of the
ships cargo.

AS soon as soldiers who have been
overseas return to this country and
are given their discharge they be-
come frank and severe in their criti-
cisms Of Gen. Pershing. They say he
is autocratic and inclined to be snob-
bish, and that he has proven his in
competence on more than one occas-
ion. His conduct of his part Of the
war would have been disastrous II he
had not been guided at every tlrn
by the French and British general
ordnance and commissary departments
broke down completely and had to be
taken over by civilians. The Ameri-
can commander In chief tried to run
his army on the German system, and
sought to enforce an iron-clad dis
cipline which is useful only In criti-
'cism to mistakes and utter incapacity.
It is natural that there should be
some dissatisfaction, for there were
many causes for it. But making due
allowance for all this, 1t is quite evi-
dent that Gen. Pershing has been
failure. American troops were sue
cessful fighters but this was due to
their courage and resourcefulness
when thrown on their own initiative.
AS some one has said, the American
private won the war in spite of his
generals.
But there will be thorough investi-
cation Of the conduct Of the war, and
then we will ascertain the truth. The
investigation should be welcomed rath-
er than discouraged. The American
people have abundant cause for pride,
and it will be helpful to know just
what mistakes were made and who
was responsible for them-Anderson

FLIGHT ACROSS ATLANTIC.
Navy Department Now Completing
ARRANGEMENTS for Trial,

Navy Department Now Completing
Arrangements for Trial.
Naval seaplanes which are to at
tempt a fight across the Atlantic
ocean in May will start from Rock
away beach, Long island, but the act
ual jumping off" place will be much
farther up the coast, possibly at some
point in New Foundland. Whether
the machine will steer q direct course
for Ireland or follow the longer route
via the Azores apparently has not
been determined
Acting secretary Roosevelt has an
nounced that the destroyer Barney
had been ordered to proceed to New
Foundland to investigate the harbor
facilities along the coast for the pur-
pose Of determining the best base
from which the planes could put out
overseas and harbors in which land
ings could be made in the event 1t
became necessary for them to descend
during the voyage from Rockaway to
the flight base.
Lieutenant Commander ]. L. Cauf-
man will command the Barney, which
is one of the most modern destroyers,
and Commander P. N. L. Bellinger, of
the transatlantic section Of the office
of the direction of naval aviation, and
Lieut. E. F. Stone, of the coast guard,
have been detailed to make the inves-
tigation. Unless difficulties with ice
foes are encountered, the Barney Is
expected to return to the United States
in about 10 days, when the officers
will submit their report to Washing
ton.
In disclosing that the planes would
leave the naval aviation station on
Long island, Mr. Roosevelt said 1t was
regarded as preferable to fly the ma
chimes to the base to be selected for
the flight rather than to transport
them by ship. The aircraft will be
refueled and given final turning up
before they actually depart overseas.
Several machines are being prepared
for the fight and two or more very
probably make the start. Three
planes Of the Nc type have been COM
pleted and q fourth is nearing SOM
pletion at the Curtiss plant at Garden
City, New York. Extensive tests OF
the Mel have been made and 81 pas
sengers were carried on one Of her
flights.
Whether It will be possible for the
machines to carry sufficient fuel to
drive them across the ocean has not
been made known. They could refuel
at the Azores without difficulty and
some officers believe it would be en-
tirely possible under favorable wealth
er conditions for them to replenish
their gas supply in mid-Atlantic from
a ship with which a rendezvous could
be arranged beforehand.
Detailed plans of the flight are be-.
ing carefully safeguarded and there
has been no intimation as to whether
the machines will keep together or
follow different routes. In view OF
the announcement that destroyers will
be stationed along the route to safe
guard the crews in the event OF accl-
dent, most officers believe, however
the flying craft will follow one course.
The navy department has not en-
tered for the s5O,OOO prize offered by
The London Daily Mail to the first
aircraft that completes transatlantic
flight.

PROFITS IN COTTON.
What Governor of Kansas Thinks OF
Southern Demand for Living Wage.

Southern Demand tor Living Wd9e'
The cotton growers Of the south, In
their efforts to limit the acreage OF
cotton to maintain high prices, are
trading upon the misery OF the
world" Governor Allen of Kansas
charged from Topeka last Monday, IN
a letter refusing an invitation OF the
South Carolina Cotton association TO
attend a conference at which reports
of the campaign to reduce cotton acre
age will be received. The letter was
addressed to ]. S. Wannamaker, CO.
lumbia, S. c., chairman of the assocl-
alton.
Basing his conclusions upon govern
ment crop reports, Governor Allen es-
timated cotton growers are making as
much money with cotton at 80 cents
a pound as Kansas farmers are max
ing from their wheat at 1926 bushel.
kansas farmers are doing every
thing in their power to increase the
wheat yield so that every one may

growers are trying at the same time to
prevent the same people from having
clothes" he said.
THAT any group of men, while the
world is still graphing with the tre-
mendous problems arising from short
age of staple commodities, should be-
gin deliberate organization to retard
production, is unspeakable," he con-
tinued.
1T would be just as baleful for the
wheat farmers Of Kansas, the corn
farmers of Iowa, the hog raisers OF IL
linois, or the livestock producers or
Texas to deliberately combine to Gre
ate a shortage in foodstuffs that the
famine of the world would pay them
toll, as for the cotton interests Of the
south to combine for that purpose"
For these reasons and because l
utterly lack sympathy with the pur-
pose of the meeting, will not be able
to accept the invitation" he concluded.

increase in size, steel could be used
with advantage in place Of duralumin
and a great saving in cost effected
thereby.
The development of rigid airships
has been even more rigid than that OF
aeroplanes. In 1914, the average en-
durance Of a German rigid airship al
cruising speed was under one day and
the minimum speed was about SO
miles per hour. In 1918, the German
L. 10 class of 2,195,000 cubic feet ca
pacity, the endurance rose to IT'S
hours or IA days, at speed of As
miles an hour. The British R. 3S
class. of 2,720,000 cubic feet capacity
has an estimated cruising endurance
of 211 hours, or S.S days, at speed OF
As miles an hour, "a hours more than
the German L. 70 class.
1t is a matter of some difficulty to
make fair and at the same time SIM
pie comparison between the airship
and the aeroplane as means Of trans
port. The D. H. 10 a was taken as the
best all-round machine in August
1918, though the Handley- Page and
Caproni have greater endurance and
weight carrying capacity.

Airships of the Future.
It will be seen at the present time
the largest airships have 10 times
more total lift than the corresponding
aeroplane and 25 times more dispos-
able lift. 1t cannot be too strongly
emphasized that many Of the advan-
tages which aeroplanes appear to pos
sess at the present time are due to
their relatively small lift.
If the endurance of an airship is
increased sufficiently it will be pos
sible to carry out flights with the
same regularity as a steamship.
When rigid airships of 100000
cubic feet capacity and an endurance
of about three weeks at a speed of
from 40 to SO miles an hour are con-
structed, they will have disposable
lift of over 200 tons, which is avail
able for petrol, ballast, crew passen-
gers, and freight, and they will have
a maximum range of over 10000 miles,
or nearly once round the world.
In conclusion, it Is not thought, as
has already been stated. that the
functions of the airships whose out
standings characteristics are reson-
ably high speed, very long endurance,
great weight carrying capacity for
freight, stores, passengers, will clash
with those of the aeroplane whose
characteristics are high speed, handi-
ness, moderate lift, and independence
of all but the worst weather condi-
tions.
