Written for The New Era
During the period since we entered
the war, the farmers of the nation
have responded magnificently to the
appeals for Increased production and
all the people have complied with the
urgent requests for fuller conserya-
tion.
During this past fall season, our
farmers planted an increased wheat
acreage and a large acreage in rye.
1t is>too early now to make detail
ed suggestions for the spring plant
ing season. We do not know how
the fall grains will come thru the
winter and we are not now able to
forecast the demands and the con-
ditions which will prevail after the
first of the year.
This department. the agricultural
colleges, and other organizations will
continue to give definite thought to
all the problems, and. at the proper
time. will lAy the s.:uation before

should give due thought to the Sc
curing OF an adequate supply of feed
stuffs and to the erar-cation and con-
troll of all forms of animal disease.
The other IL the need of perfect

tural agencies for the purpose of in
telligentlv executing such program
