DIR. Spillman is entering this work
With real interest and enthusiasm. In
letter to Mr.. Romans, OF the Spo-
iane Chamber of Commerce, he says;
~ am getting more and more inter-

"On August 18th, the Department
f Agriculture issued a report on
armers' intentions as to the acreage
t winter wheat and rye to be sown
his fall. Reports received from ~
90 farmers indicate that according ;
0 present intentions of farmers the
creage of winter wheat to be sowh l
his fall is 71a per cent greater tnan
hat sown last fall, and 27.S per cen'
reater than the average annual ran
owing from 1909 to 1872 Presumably
his increase is due to the fact tnaV
he price of wheat has recently gone
p somewhat because of a shortage in
Lt.r,t
he Canadian crop. This indicates tne
of adjusting the acreage OF L
farm crop to the demand for its pro-
ucts.
