Allotment to
Cut CornCrop
21,511 Acres
AUTHORITIES PROPOSE
56,343 ACRE CUT
IN GRAIN CROPS

A further reduction in the
number of acres planted to corn
and other soil-depleting crops in
Redwood county is sought under
the 1888 soil conservation pro-
gram, allotment figures received
here this week indicate.
Goal of the government this
year is reduction of 56,343
acres of crops which deplete the
soil. The county's quota of such
crops in 1888 is 319,797 acres,
compared to the 1887 allotment
OF 376,,140 acres, Is per cent
cut.
Corn acreage has been reduced
21,511 acres, from 1929 acres
in 1887 to 1877, ,728 acres this year.
General crops which deplete
the soil have been allotted 182,-
069 acres under the 1888 program
as compared to 216,901 last year.
Plan Township Meetings
AS soon as late township re-
ports which have been holding up
the program here are received at
the office, the county committee
will begin the task of dividing
the allotted acreage among farm
ers of the county. Township
meetings at which figures will be
announced will probably be held
within two weeks.
The new farm bill also offers a
wheat allotment program.
Local officials pointed out in
announcing the allotments that
there is nothing compulsory about
the crop acreage allowances. Only
farmers who wish to be eligible
for government grant next fall
are expected to comply with the
limits set by the government.
Karr Outlines Plan
In a six hour session at the,
Wabasso hall Thursday, A. r..
Karr of Fairmont, representative
of the state soil conservation Of
fee, outlined the 1888 farm pro-
gram for 125 county committee
men and others attending.
Explaining the marketing quo
ia plan, he said that in order for
a referendum to be called, the
corn crop must be over billion,
800 million bushels which is 800
million over normal.
If such crop should be rais-
ed this year, the secretary Of
agriculture will call referen-
dunn which must be carried by
two-thirds majority to make the
quotas compulsory.

The President impressed on Con-
gress that while costs of the Army
and Navy in the United States are
higher, because Of higher working and
living standards. than in any other
country. the proportion Of. costs for
military and naval forces in this coun-
try to the total income Of the people
or to the total cost Of government is
far lower than in any other great ma
ton.
At press conference today, Mr..
Roosevelt explained briefly the recon-
mendatlons which he was sending to
Congress. His proposal for legislation
to mobilize all men and materials in
time OF war and to prevent profiteering
was designed. he said, to bring the
whole Nation into war if unfortu-
nately this country should be engaged
in one.
While the President stressed particu-
larry that the United States believed
in reduction of armaments. it is clear
that for the time being the Chief Ex-
ecutive has determined that this coun-
try must build up its Army and Navy.
particularly the latter as the first line
Of defense. 1t is noticeable. however,
that the President has included many
provisions for the better equipment
and supply Of the Army in his recon-
mendations to Congress.

gram. 1t voluntarily scrapped naval

that would have given America the
greatest and most powerful Navy in
the world.
Slight Increases for Years.
Since that time the United States
has sought to bring about agreements
for further naval reductions. With
Japan. Italy. Germany and other
powers unwilling to make such agree
ments. and with constantly increasing
navies and armies in Europe and Asia,
the United States has been content to
60 along for years with only slight
increases in comparison with those
abroad.
The Presidents demand for more
adequate national defense is expected
to have strong support in Congress
despite the fact that it will be op-
posed by pacifist group.
The conflict between Japan and
China. the war in Spain. which is by
no means confined to Spanish fighting
forces. have brought the problem of

tion." Mr.. Prettyman agreed with her
on this point. She traced the history
of fiscal relations between the Dis.
trict and Federal governments.
The League Of Women Voters, Mrs.
Parkinson pointed out, favored an in

il more funds are needed, she said. the
organization favored special COM

tries, in such manner as to involve
q threat to world peace and security,
I make the following recommends
tions to the Congress:
ID That there be authorized for
the Army Of the United States addi-
tions to anti-aircraft material in the
sum Of S6,800,000 and that of this sum
s6,800000 be appropriated for the
fiscal year 1899.
20 That there be authorized and
appropriated for the better estab-
llshment of an enlisted reserve for
the Army the sum Of s450,OOO.
90 That there be authorized the
expenditure Of S6080,0 900 for the man.
ufacture of gauges, dies and other
aids to manufacture of Army materel,
the sum of S5,000,000 thereof to be
expended during the fiscal year 1899.
S2,000.00O for Ammunition.
90 That the sum of $4,000, 900 be
authorized and appropriated toward
the making up of deficiencies in am
munition for the Army.
80 That the existing authorized
building program for increases and
requirements in the Navy be increased
BY 20 per cent.
90 That this Congress authorize
and appropriate for the laying down
Of two additional battleships and two
additional cruisers during the calen-
dar year 1898. This will call for the
expenditure Of very small amount
Of Government funds during the fiscal
year 1889.
% That the Congress authorize and
appropriate sum not to exceed SIS
100000 for the construction of a
number of new types of small YES
sels, such construction to be re-
earded as experimental in the light
OF new developments among navies;
and to include the preparation of
plans for other types of ships in the
event that it may be necessary to
construct such ships in the future.
I believe also that the time has
come for the Congress to enact legisla
ton aimed at the prevention of prof.
teering in time Of war and the eQuali-
Lation of the burdens of possible war
Such legislation has been subject for
many years of full study in this and
previous Congresses.
Protection for All Shores.
1t is necessary for all of us to realize
that the unfortunate world conditions
of today have resulted too often in
the discarding of those principles and
treaties which underline international
law and order; and in the entrance OF
many new factors into the actual con-
duct Of war.
Adequate defense means that for the
protection not only of our coasts bu,
also of our communities far removed
from the coast, We must keep any
potential enemy many hundred miles
away from our continental limits.
We cannot assume that our defense
would be limited to one ocean and one
coast and that the other ocean anc
the other coast would with certainty
be safe. We cannot be certain thai
the connecting link-the Panams
Canal-would be safe. Adequate de.
fense affects therefore the simultaneous
defense of every part of the Unitee
States of America.
It Is our clear duty to further every
effort toward peace but at the sam.
time to protect our Nation. That il
the purpose of these recommendations
Such protection is and will be baset
not on aggression but on defense.
