Crowder, in his current annual report,
recommends to the government that
the next census be handled through

of over 24OO0Oo0 men-13,OOO, 900 in a

Referring to the results of the draft.
Gen. Crowder says that on the date
of the signing of the armisticc the
War Department had produced an
army of 2,sl0,2S6 men. Had mobiliza-
ton lasted five days longer the Sc

have placed with the colors more

MAINTAIN Wheat

Julius Barnes, U. S. Grain
Official, Says Nation Must
Support Farmers.

1t is ''unthinkable" that Congress,
bavins placed a guarantee on the
price of wheat, should in any manner
neslect to keep faith with the farm
ers Of the country. Julius II. Barnes,
president of the Food Administration
Grain Corporation, told the House
Agricultural Committee yesterday.
As further argument for maintain
ing a guarantee on the price of wheat,
Mr.. Barnes protested that America

1t was made clear that no rationing

plated, nor regulation of retailers.
Mr.. Barnes made the following sug-
sestions for Incorporation in any leg

An appropriation of at least
$1,000. 900, 900.
Authority to buy. if necessary, in
the regular commercial manner,
pledging the credit and property of
whatever agency shall be set up.
Authority 10 buy and sell wheat

Preferential service on American

VIII Maintain sc.2s Price.
As to broad policies. Mr.. Barnes
said the grain corporation did not
believe America surplus wheat
should be sold abroad at a lower
price than paid by her own con-
sumers. that a government guar

primarily for the American pro-
ducer, and that whatever method of
Draking this effective is used. it
must contemplate refIecting from
