Malaria Fought.

Reports Of the International health
board of the Rockefeller Foundation
show that the board is now in CO.
operative work with the governments
of seventy states and countries.
A review of the activities Of this
great international health organiza-
tion gives an outline of the fight that
Is being made against all classes of
malarial fevers at home and abroad,
besides the extension of county health
work in the United States and Brazil
Perhaps the most important feature
of this international health work is
the development of public laboratory
schools of hygiene in various coun-
tries, In cooperation with the health
section of the league of nations and
the extension of health training
through fellowships.
The Rockefeller sanitary commits
sion. which was organized some fif-
teen years ago, marked the beginning
of what is now known as the interna-
tional health board of the Rockefeller
Foundation, which has for it's purpose
the extending ito other countries the
work of eradicating hookworm dis
eases and as far as possible to fol-
low up the treatment and cure of this
disc Sc with the establishment of
agencies for the promotion of public
sanitation and the spread of the

Wheat Surplus Greatest Fake

Edward S. Little Declares Farmer Victim,

os3 00n. ono bushels. which is 920 000,-
00n bushels more than this years crop.
Comparing this year with that normal
wear the world has 920 900 ono bushels
less than it had then. This widely
spread and evidently extensive prom
aganda bv the wheat SPECTATORS Is the
most tremendous and awful fabrication
the world ever experienced and yet
these wheat spectators have been at
tacfing me because I venture to call
attention to the figures presented by
the Departmnt of Agriculture. About
one third of the Russian crop is in-
cluded I'm this Wall Street Journal esti-
mate along with the "rest of Eurone."
However. If this year we should add to
the worlds crop the entire Russian
crop for 1924, the worlds crop of 1914
would still be "a 900, 600 bushels more
than this years world crop. l should
think these wheat propagandists would
dread the judrment of Ananias and the
thunderbolts of just God
North Americn's Crop.
Secretary Wallace tells me that
the United States raised $1,000 0o0
bushels of wheat less this year than
it did last and that the Canadians
claim to have raised 70,00n.0n0 BUSH
els more than last year. Thus North
America contributed II n0O.afn bush
Ella less to the worlds crop this year
than it did last year, and there goes
another fake.
In 1910 the United States produced
700,000.000 bushels of wheat This
year it produced ISL ZOO. 900. only
S1.o00.0O0 bushels more than in 1910.
Yet the United States has $4,000 GOO
people more than it did in 1910, when
they disposed of 7e0. 10000 bushels.
If these 1S.000.000 people consume the
reasonable amount of five and one
half bushels per capita this year, they

1910. To meet that demand the
United States should have produced
SS5.0e0.000 bushels of wheat this
year instead of only 7S1.oO0,OOO. We
are shy 54.000,000 bushels of wheat
that we ought to have to feed the
peoDle as well as we did in 1910
The United States produced 1884,
100000 bushels this year. For the
five years from 1909 to 1914 the farm
ers sowed an average of 100000
bushels per annum. For eight years.
from 1914 to 1922, the farmers sowed
an average of 94,oO0ooO bushels per
annum. They will probably SOW this
year about S6O0c.000 bushels Of
wheat. Subtracting that from the

by EDWARD s. LITTLE,
Member Of Congress from Kansas.

Prior to the June harvest this year
when wheat was selling at above
dollar a bushel. it was heralded
around that we would have an enor-
nous and tremendous surplus of
wheat and that therefore We would
get a very low price for wheat
because we would have more than
we could use. The crop began
to come in and presently 1t was au-
thoritatively declared that we would
have a 200, 100000 bushel surplus in
the United States, and a 100000
bushel surplus in the world at large.
AS the farmers brought in the wheat
needing the money-they were told
that only 20 cents could be paid for
wheat because there would be mil
lions Of bushels go to waste, and the
early wheat wis sold from 20 cents
to 80 cents.
AS a matter of fact. there was no
surplus of wheat whatever. and
wheat would have brought s1.25 a
bushel If the law of supply and de-
mand had ruled instead of this wheat
bubble, evidently originated by the
wheat spectators who wished the
There was even a terrific effort to
convince the farmers that they should
raise less wheat. AS a result the
farmers lost millions upon millions of
dollars. This surplus bubble Is the
biggest and cruelest fake ever per-
petrated in this country. There has
never been the slightest excuse at
any moment for this sinister and hys-
terical propaganda Of a surplus wheat
bubble. Mr.. Wallace has never given
out any figures that went to show
that there was too much wheat Let
us examine the figures given me by
the Department of Agriculture.
Shows Crops Below Normal.
The Wall Street Journal of October 8
says that the worlds wheat crop for
this year is 3,343, 900, 900 bushels. We
will compare this with the worlds
product before the war when times We're
normal, for the six years from 1910
Agriculture figures show that for those
six years every year the worlds wheat
crop averaged 1856, 900, 900 bushels. If
you subtract this years alleged crop of
3.343, 600, 900 bushels from the average
in those six normal years before the
aged 512, 100000 bushels more than this
years crop. Instead of having a world
surplus of 400,000,000 bushels, as these
vicious propagandists declared. the
normal crops. There never was a more
willful and deliberate falsehood per-
petrated at the expense of an inno-
cent people.
The smallest worlds crop of those
six years was 253, 900 bushels greater
than this years world crop, as stated
by the Wall Street Journal. In 1918
the world crop was 4,195 600, 900 bushels,
as against this years crop of 3,343, 600,
900. In 1915 the world raised a crop of

per capita this year. they Will eat
about 67O.000.000 bushels and the
United States will have a deficit Of
some S0,000,000 bushels they will
have to import, unless they eat up
their carry-over in full.
In eight years. between 1900 and
1921, we averaged Ave and eight
tenths bushels per capita. II We eat
that much this year as we did three
years ago. we will eat 638.000.000

we have to eat.

they eat as much this year per capita
as they have eaten practically half
of the time during the present GEN.
tury, they will eat COS 100000 bushels
this year. which it"is practically cer-
tain they will do, the wheat buyers
having made wheat so cheap. If they
eat this 05,000,000 bushels, we will
be compelled during this crop year to
import 100000 bushels of wheat, or
do without during the last of the
year. We will have just enough of
our own to feed us for the first fifty
one weeks, and there will be no wheat
of our own left for the last week of
this crop year except the carry-over
which goes every year and will go
over about the same this year as 1t
did last year.
The average consumption per capita
in the United States for the years
from the beginning of the twentieth
century until 1921 was five and three
tenths bushels per capita. IL the peo-
pie eat just as they have been eat
ing all this century, in effect they
will consume 583. 100000 bushels of
wheat. and they will retain just 49,

rope before Christmas anyway.

talk of surplus that deprecated

LETTUCE MEN
PLAN FIGHT
ON RAILROAD

Imperial valley lettuce growers

TO prohibit dry shipment Of lettuce.

held in Los Angeles Monday morn
ing at 10 O clock according 10 a.
telegram received here from C. ".
Hunt, prominent lettuce grower,
who is al present in San Francisco.
Mr.. Hunt urges all valley lettuce
shippers and distributors to attend
the meeting TO protest against the
railroad : petition.
AT present, most of the lettuce ship
ped from Imperial Valley is kept
cool by means of ice packed IN the
lettuce err ties. This eliminates the
necessity of having lee i'll bumpers
OF the refrigerator ears, or re-icing
the ears along the route 10 destina-
fion. II is estimated there is a
saving of $75 per car by shipping in
this manner. To prohibit such ship
ments would ruin the lettuce indus

lettuee organizations in protesting
