French Standing Army
Totals 100000 Men

According to advices received by
the Bankers Trust Company from its
French Information Service, a we'll
known French authority on military
questions, Colonel Jean Fabry for
merly member Of the reporting COM
mittee of the Army Commission of the
Chamber of Deputies, in a recent ad-
dress stated that the French standing
army at present numbers 100000 men.
This figure includes the troops at
present in North Africa but does not
take into account the other French
colonies and protectorate countries
nor the regions for which France
holds mandate under the League of
Nations and the Treaty of Versailles.
The annual cost Of the French
standing army Is estimated by Col
onel Fabry at 4,O5S,O00,000 francs,
while at an average rate Of exchange
$50 francs per 100 rentemarks, 140
francs to the pound and francs to
the dollar, the respective annual costs
for other armies are 3,455, 900, 900
francs for Germany, 9,214,O00,OO0
francs for Great Britain and 1885,
100000 francs for the United States.
France, according to these figures,
spends half as much for military pur-
poses as Great Britain and the United
States.

Cereals an Important Crop
In Washington Agriculture

The cereal crop industry is an i'm
portant phase of agriculture in
Washington, as shown by production
figures. An average of the census re-
ports for 1919 and 1924 shows that
Washington produces annually an
average of 43,369,200 bushels of
wheat; 6,S44,322 bushels of oats; L.
881,792 bushels of barley; 685, All
bushels of corn and 139 216 bushels Of
rye.
Wheat is the leading cereal in
Washington and occupies 85 per cent
of the land devoted to cereal crops.
Washington leads In the production
of white wheats, producing 1876 per
cent of all the white wheat grown in
the United States. Over a 20-year
period the surplus of wheat in Wash
ington has averaged 65 per cent of the
total crop. Approximately 81 per cent
| Of the entire crop has reached It's final
destination by water. Europe and the
Orient are the principal foreign mar
kets for Washington wheat and flour.
The rotation OF wheat with other
crops Is problem receiving attention
from growers now. Land remains in
fallow one out of two or three years in
most areas where wheat is the lead
ing crop. This system has already
greatly reduced the organic matter
and nitrogen of the soil, two essen
tials in maintaining productivity.
There Is at this time marked ten
dency to include alfalfa, sweet clover
and field peas in the cropping system,
Experiments conducted at Pullman
by the State College show that a
larger total yield of grain has been
secured during equal periods of time
in the rotations in which legume
was used in place of summer fallow.
Investigations show that during years
of normal rainfall wheat grown on
land previously occupied by peas, al
falfa, red clover or sweet clover gem
orally exceeds in yield wheat follow
ing late summer fallow and compares
favorably with wheat on early sum-
mer fallow. In every case, wheat
after legumes produces higher yield
than wheat after wheat.
A tendency toward great stability
in the price Of wheat results from the
fact that 1t can be substituted directly
for feed grains. The production Of
either corn and oats In the United
States exceeds the production Of
wheat. Corn, oats, and barley are feed
grains and have very limited use as
substitute for wheat IL the price OF
wheat goes below that OF feed grains,
The average annual acre yield Of
1t may be substituted for them. The
world crop Of rye of 818,000,000 bush
els is factor affecting the wheat stu
alton, however, since rye in certain
countries takes the place OF wheat,
especially when 1t Is cheaper. Every
bushe of rye consumed replaces an
equal amount Of wheat.
