Old man weather holds the fate
Of the winter wheat farmers of
the Nation, particularly Of the
great plains States, in the dry
palm Of his hand today.
If the palm remains dry, as 1t
Is at present over most Of the
Western wheat belt, a record
acreage of winter wheat paintings
this fall will result in a crop Of
slightly over 600, 100000 bushels,
the highest since the all-time rec,
ord winter wheat crop of
817,962,OOO bushels in 1881.
Moisture Lacking
If conditions improve, the yield
will be that much greater; if they
become less favorable, the wheat
crop will suffer, Department of
Agriculture officials pointed out
With subsoil moisture over al
most the entire Western wheat
belt far below average, according
to j. B. Kincer, head of the crop
weather section of the Weather
Bureau, there is not much chance
Of improvement of conditions.
The winter wheat condition as
OF December l was reported by
the Crop Reporting Board yester'
day as 1873 per cent of normal,
the lowest for that date since
1888, when the condition was 74.3
The 1888 winter wheat yield of
. 350,792,000 bushels was the lowest
in the United States since the De,
partment of Agriculture has been
keeping yield record.

Launching of the Agriculture Ad.
justment Administration program
that year, however, plus drought
and the depression, led to aban
donment of one-third of the winter
wheat acreage. OF 42,669 900 acres
planted, only %, ,465, 900 acres were
harvested, yielding 1873 bushels tc
the acre.
If this winters wheat yield fol
lows the trend of last winter, the
yield, on the basis of the cror
reporting boards estimates, woulc
be only 10.2 bushels to the acre

Machinery And Unemploymnt

It was only three four years ago that the whole
country talking about something called "techn-
cracy.' That was a new economic philosophy based
upon the theory that the causes of all of
ployment and other troubles was that machines were
replacing man power in industry and that ii that
tendency kept on it would not be long before there
would be no work for anybody to do.
The technocracy idea echo of the outcry
which has been raised whenever a invention has
been brought out to do work which was formerly
done bv hand When the first cotton spinning ma
chinery was invented the first power looms set up
there was tremendous Outcry about the bread being
taken out of the mouths of the working class That
was more than $50 years ago. and it only necessary
to look back into history to realize how foolish the
opposition to these early machines was For instead
of making less work, they made more work. BY pro-
ducing cotton cloth more cheaply and more speedily
than it had ever been made by hand the machine pro-
ductiOn multiplied the demand and the market for
cotton cloth, so that within few years ten persons
were employed On the spinning and weaving ma
chimes for very one who had been employed at hand
labor in the same industry.
To a generation which knows nothing of industrial
history the revival of this outcry against the
chimes seemed convincing. The evidence to the con-
trary however, is right in front of the eyes of any
body who will look for it. The best example is in
the automobile industry. More automobiles have
been made and sold in the past year than in any
Of the previous five years. Very much more of the
work of building automobiles is done by machinery
than at any time in the past. It is thing
for an automobile manufacturer to scrap $1OOOOOOO
worth of heavy machinery to replace it with new and
more efficient equipment But has the machine
thrown automobile workers out Of their jobs? Quite
the opposite is true. In great factory alone
which formerly employed $4,000 workers to produce
million and half of automobiles in year, last
year 10000 workers employed to produce a
smaller number of cars. There was no reduction in
wages; on the contrary, wages went up. Yet the
price of the car came down.
Precisely the same experience has followed the in
PRODUCTION of modern machinery in every line of in
dustry There are temporary readjustnents and
shifts of employment but in the long run the en-
larged market created by offering better goods at
lower prices results in the employment of more peo-
pie than could find jobs before the new machines
were put in.

Diriigibles

It is good news that the chief of the Bureau Of
Aeronautics Of the United States Navy, Admiral A.
B. Cook, in his annual report, has recommended the
inclusion of several large dirgibles as part of the
American naval program. There is better pros
pect now that Congress will be willing to make ap
preparations for dirigbles than there was year or
two ago. The disaster to the two largest American
built dirigbles, the "Azron" and the "Macon" gave
setback to the plans for great American fleet of
lighter than-air craft and many persons both in and
out of Congress eaped to the hasty conclusion that
drigibles impractical and unsafe.
The demonstrations made during the past Summer
and Fall by the German zeppelin "Hindenburg,"
which made ten round trips, between Germany and
the United States without the slightest accident or
discomfort to any of it's passengers and the realza
ton that for several years another German dirgble
the "Graf Zeppelin" has been flying regular voy-
ages between Germany and South America has
changed public opinion about this type of airship.
America can certainly operate properly designed
and constructed dirigibles more safely than any
other country can, for produce and the Federal
Government controls practically the entire world
supply of helium gas, which has lifting power al
most as great as that of hydrogen but which. un-
like hydrogen, is uninflammable and non-explosive
The time is bound to when the commercial
airways of the world will be traversed by giant dir-
gibes of American construction buoyed up in the air
by American helium gas.
