Minneapolis, Mimi. May 2o.-The

conditions throughout the northwest

After q late start the crops in the

good Roadway. The cool weather
during n past week has been ideal
Tor stooling. Wheat in places is from
four to five inches high and. has q
good stand and color.
some wheat seeding remains to be
i!nlshed Ill Montana and the northern
TIER OF counties in North Dakota. Ow,
ing to the lateness Of the season. and
the: scarcity of help in western North
Dakota and eastern Montana, the
wheat acreage there will probably
show a greater decrease than at first
estimated. At the present time indi-
cations point to a reduction in the
wheat acreage of about Is per cent
under last season for the four north
western states. A large percentage of
this land, however, will go into 9TH
er grains.
Coarse grain seeding is all finished
IN. n southern part of the terri
tory. and is now in progress in the
northern part. The condition Of the
ground is very favorable as there
is plenty of moisture.

Contributing to the Food Shortage

Whoever or whatever may be con-
tributing to the increase of the price
of sugar by 5000 also to the scarcity
which appears to be partly due to
the efforts to increase the price,-are
likewise contributors not only to
the high cost Of living but to the
shortage Of food.
The utilizing Of much Of our food
product depends on the use of sugar
in canning and preserving. II sugar
is unobtainable or too expensive for
these purposes the result will indeed
be serious. The Federal Government
assumes to be in control Of the sugar
situation, though not engaged in
producing sugar. Being in that po-
sition no effort to relieve the pres
cnt alarming condition should be
overlooked.
There are several influences tend
ing to retard the production Of food
this season. The Government should
not be one of them.

advantage in this respect has turned
to Maine. Ten years ago power was
cheaper in the coal regions than it
was in this State. Now it is cheap
CT here.
But to reap the benefit of what we
have TO offer will require effort.
Names advantages must be set
forth in every way possible. both by
advertising and personal effort.
When the eyes of a manufacturer
have been turned to this State he
must be offered every encourage
ment. not in. a haphazard way, but
by organized endeavor.
How an opportunity may be per-
mitted to slip by was shown Il few
years ago when the General Electric
company was looking for a small
community~in which to establish one
OF its great plants. It's object was
to avoid the labor complications of
the congested centers of population.
1t considered Portland when it was
looking about, but there was no Or
ganlzation to urge the advantages
of this city and the company went
to Lynn, where it built up one of
the greatest industries in the coun-
try.
Maine has more to offer now than
IT had then. as We have pointed out.
This city and the State both have
the organizations to emphasize these
advantages. If they function props

cause in the early morning dew he
can do very little work, compared to
what can be done in the afternoon,
SO he really only gets we'll started
with his work when the o'clock
whistle blows and men will not stay
longer in the field. One hour in the
afternoon is worth two and one half
hours in the morning to the farmer.
Now estimate how soon he loses a
whole days work from his crew.
The daylight, saving law is uncon-
stitutional. No city council has the
power to change it. They have no
right to curtail production. And if
the farmer says, Il will do what
work | can, do it at the time l find
best to work, and get enough to pro-
vide for my own family" then the
city people must not kick if they pay'
$40 per bushel for potatoes and 25c
per quart for. milk.
A FARMER.
