German Crops In Danger
By Demands of Alcohol

| Berlin, July Pa. F. by Mail)-
| German professors of hygiene have
J criticized the increase of alcohCliSI,
| in Germany in a memorial addressed
| to the various governments urging
that further steps be taken to con-
serve the national foodstuffs nov
| used in making liquor, and to protect
public health against the increasing
consumption OF alcohol.
Doctor |. A. IT. Setter. director OF
the HYGIENE Institute OF the Uni
versity of koenigsberg, issued the
memorial on behalf of the Society
of German Professors of Hygiene.
The document suggests an absolute
prohibition of the use of foodstuffs,
especially grain, potatoes and sugar,
in the manufacture of alcoholic
liquors.
TT cannot be contested" the men,
orial SAYS, that the production of al
cohol dcprives the German people OF
great quantities of foodstuffs. But
it is not this fact alone which causes
us to raise a voice of warning. We
know by experience that malnutriion
fosters alcoholism, and that. on the
other hand, increasing alcoholism
has a double effect on underfed
rcoplc. We therefore ask the gov
crnmcnt to control, with all means
ut its disposal. tho increasing con-
of alcohol. BY this means
the collapse of feeding can be pre-
vented.
DR.. Setter produces Prussian sta
tistics to show that the use of alcohol
is on the increase.
Shortly after the publication or
this memorial. it was announced that
the producers OF alcoholic spirits in
Germany had decided to stop using
POTATOES in their distilleries. and
at once turn over to the fooo
markets all existing supplies.

gene Farnsworth. the Ku Klux Khan
lecturer. With DR.. Farnsworth was
Dr. Lannin of Portland, who gave a
very interesting address before Prof

cient to elect the next governor and

In the United States and that in one

naturalized into that organization.
Prof. Farnsworth said that the Ku
klux Khan stands for America for
Americans. the present public school
system, the greater use of the Bible
ana attendance at churches, the pro-

Wheat Price
Work of Board
Madden's Succession

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. IA "a. Ply
Creation by the United States of a
national wheat corporation which
would establish a basic minimum
price for all American wheat, and
employ other measures for stabiliZing
the wheat market is advocated by
l. A. Madden. farm advisor for
Sangamon county, and well known
in Illinois as a farm authority.
ALLOWING the surplus of American
wheat to set the price of American
farm crops must stop If the farmer
is to be saved from ruin" said Mr..
Madden in outlining his plan.
THE United States should charter
a national wheat corporation and
appropriate sufficient funds for
working. capital. This corporation
should then establish a basic mini
mum wheat price for all American
wheat offered at the basic minimum
price, then the national wheat cor
poration should step in and buy
wheat.
Until conditions are more stable
in foreign countries, the wheat eX-
ported would have to be sold at less
than the basic minimum price. To
make up the loss sustained on eX-
ported wheat every bushel of wheat
marketed should be assessed with
differential tax. This tax would
vary with the surplus produced. If
the basic price was such that there
was an overproduction, then the tax
would lower the farmers price to
where overproductiOn would be CO.
couraged, while if there was a short
age OF wheat the tax would be les
sened and production stimulated.
This plan would not interfere
with the present grain trade, with
the development of cooperative mar
keting, nor with the chance of a
price above the basic minimum to
| the farmer who chooses to hold his
wheat until after the harvest rush.
1t would, without substituting agri-
culture, put the labor and capital of
the American farmer on a plane
with the capital and labor of other
industries.
1T would eliminate market gluts
due to overproduction placing the
burden of overproduction entirely
upon the farmer. The consumer OF
wheat in the United States would bt
asked to give the farmer an equa
chance. Only the extremely selfisi
would deny this.
Approximately six hundred mil
! non DuSlitiS are tOHSuHltu at lloili
and two hundred million bushels ar
exported. This surplus is a mill
stone around the neck of agriculture
prices"
The suggestion that American citi
zens should be induced to buy whea
, vas denounced by Mr.. Madden, VIII
said this plan would only aggravat
the situation because, 1T increase
the amount of the surplus held j
America, which sooner or later wi
cause prices to fall to lower levels.
