Prospects of Record Wheat Crops.

New Extending westward
from the Great Lakes, and bounded on
the north by Canada, there is a Wheat
belt which reaches over into Montana
and takes in Minnesota, a part OF Wis
consin and the two Dakotas. From
that wheat belt no reports of THE con-
dition of winter wheat in April are re-
ceived. The reason is excellent. Lit
tie or no winter wheat is raised iii that
belt. There they depend chiefly upon
spring wheat. Extending from the
Gulf Coast also is a section Of the
country bounded by line, which
curves in Texas almost to the Gulf of
Mexico, and then runs northward
through Nevada into the lower half of
California, where little or no winter
wheat is harvested. SO far as the rest
of the United States is concerned, the
promise of winter wheat is excellent,
Wheat belts take in half of New York

OPPOSES PLAN OF BOARD
Secretary Morrison Emphatic In De.
nunciation of Any Scheme for
Reduction OF Wages.

Organized labor will refuse to share
in the results" Of price readjustments
If its 'living standards are to be en-
dangered," Frank w. Morrison, seare-
tary Of the American Federation 81
Labor, said In statement
Mr.. Morrison criticised the declara-
lions made by the federal reserve
board in a recently published review
Of its Forthcoming monthly bulletin
that all factors in production SHOULD
bear their share in the general pro
cess of readjustment."
"The board seems to accept the
economic error said Mr.. Morrison
shat the price of a commodity and
the price OF labor are identical. Where
wages are reduced, living standards
of the workers are Immediately af.
fected and the home suffers"
Calling attention to the boards
statement that "if the REIMBURSEMENT is
equitably carried out, its effect will
not tend to favor any particular class
or group in the commodity" Mr.. Nor.
rison said:
"The workingman will ask, If his
living standards are to be endangered
If the same theory will apply to the
employer, or Is it intended to have the
latter merely dispense with some Of
his wartime profits? There is nothing
equitable about such an arrangement
It's theory is unsound and in practice
1t Is impossible"

Washington. Prompt withdrawal of
the American army of occupation from
Germany has been provided Hr in the
Paris treaty, in the opinion of army
officials, who scanned the official sum-
mary of the document In elastic mill
itary and naval terms IMPOSED on
Germany, coupled with the pledge of
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George to ask that Congress land Par
lament guarantee the protection of
France against assault, they read a
definite intention to turn the task of
garrisoning occupied Germany over
to France at an early date. The
treaty terms were studied closely to
determine what they meant for the
United States. officers felt that the
subject of the future American mill
tary policy was interviewer closely in
these provisions. 1t is upon obliga-
lions incurred under the treaty, if it is
ratified here, that the notice must be
framed.
In all probability, it was said, Mr..
Wilson would outline complete milf
tary program to Congress when he
carries out his pledge. Military and
naval experts declared that under the
terms of the treaty Germany would
cease to exist as potential military
power on land or sea or in the air.
There will be no German army or navy
in any modern sense, they said, for
what remains after the treaty proyi-
sions are carried out will be no more
than a national police force, lacking
in every essential for international
conflict. The terms are taken here as
indicative of what Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey may expect. To open the
door for worldwide reduction of ar
maments, the treaty trainers appear
to have grappled with militarism in
tent upon tearing it out by the roots,
it was said. As military men see it,
there will be left in Central Europe,
where the menace to world peace was
reared, hardly sign that it had ex-
listed.
In view of the extraordinary nature
of the terms imposed upon Germany,
officers regard the agreement of Presi-
dent Wilson to seek from Congress
formal assurances that American mill
tary forces will rush to Frances aid if
that nation again is attacked, as aris-
ing from other causes than any doubt
that Germany will be powerless when
those terms have been garfield out.
This led to the belief that Aans to
without ttefry tic
army Of occupation in Germany was
what prompted the insertion Nof the
agreement clause, h
