THE 1919 WHEAT CROP

Tia greatest wheat crop on record
will be gathered by the farmers OF the
United States this year. The Winter
wheat crop will amount 10 eight hun
dred million bushels and the Spring crop
will add about three hundred million
bushels 10 this total. Heretofore,
wheat crop Of over seven hundred mill
ion bushels has been considered phenom-
email. The yield Of 1919 Will. therefore,
hc nearly nifty per cent greater than the
average crops Of the past. Moreover
This crop Is guaranteed very high
price, which will mean an immense
stream Of wealth turned into the pock-
ets Of the farmers Of the United States.
without regard to the monetary re-
turn. the quantity Of wheat which the
United s;ates will be able TO add to the
worlds supply this year is thing OF
tremendous Importance. The whole
world needs wheat. The food supplies
Of Europe and Of South America have
been sadly depleted. We cannot expect
a great reduction in the high cost OF
foods until moro foods are grown The
worlds surplus must be again restored
and the great wheat crop Of 1919 will
mcasurahiy help to do that

roltcy which has been pursued since the
state came into being. The lntelligen-
Ger Is inclined TO believe that the prohi-
hi,ion ~ a debt IN the state constitu-
ton was not altogether unwise. DOUBT
less. the trainers OF the West Virginia
constitution had the experience Va '"S
old state Of Virginia before their eyes
They saw how the old state had plunged
into debt for many enterprises. some o.
which had proven Of benefit and some
of which were dead losses. Therefore.
they wen, TO the extreme Of writing into
the fundamental law OF the state. pro-
htbition against debt Of any kind
West Virginia needs good roads. w"
could well AFFORD to spend large sums
upon them. Our counties are. IN tact'
doing so. It Is desirable to coordinate
the work Of the counties so as 70 con-
meet up the improved roads which they
build and To make system OF thoro'
fares throughout the state. Whether or
no, this can be best done. through the
agency OF large bond issue by the
state, may be FERROUS question. 1t is
one 10 which thoughtful voters should
give very earnest attention.
