ceeds domestic needs and estimat-
ed export needs, which are put at
about 740, 000,0 900 bushels.
At the same time Secretary Wal
lace, as head of the AAA, was con-
tenplating the prospect of asking
the wheat growers of America to
make the heaviest reduction in
paintings ever proposed. This re-
duction may be as much as 37.5 per
cent. Growers who this season
planted approximately 100000 900
acres would be asked to reduce
their operations to about $4,000, 900
acres-the smallest since before the
World war. Allotments then would
be IL, 500, 900 acres less than for 1888.
Government estimates place the
crop at between 925, 100000 and $780,
900, 900 bushels. The winter wheat
estimate is between FAC, 1000, 900 and
100000 bushels while the spring
wheat crop is expected to reach
200, 1000, 900 bushels.
Added to this will be a carry-over
of $50, 000,0 900 bushels or more from
last years crop of 874, 900, 900 BUSH
els. The total supply is expected to
reach an all-time high of approx
mately 1,100,0 900 bushels.
In addition to the loan program,
Secretary Wallace will move to boil
ster the market through the new
government crop insurance pro-
gram. Already campaign is I'M
der way to "sign-up" farmers for
wheat insurance.
The insurance program is expect
ed to remove about 100000 BUSH
els of wheat from the market
through farmer payments of pre-
miums on 1889 wheat insurance. The
government will store this wheat in
elevators for future indemnity pay
ments to insured farmers.
Officials of the AAA expect that
reduction of acreage will stir up pro-
tests from wheat growers similar to
the current revolt in the corn belt,
and among the cotton and tobacco
farmers of the South. Concessions
already have been made to the
Southerners, and the AAA people
said some minor adjustments in
corn acreage allotments were
planned. The revolt in the Middle
West, however, was growing steadi-
ly under the leadership of the Corn
Belt Liberty league, now Incorporate
ed in Illinois.
When and if wheat acreage allot-
ments are made, farmers can COM
ply with or ignore them, but only
those who comply will be eligible
for maximum federal benefit pay
ments and wheat loans.

Questions Answered

Miss C. T.-Agar-agar is a nom
irritating, indigestible carbohy-
drate. AS it is not digested, it's
caloric value is zero, and it could
not possibly be fattening.
Mrs. B. r. S.-The average
meal leaves the stomach within
four hours, though a large meal
may stay for five hours. How
ever, the length of time food re-
mains in the stomach is only a
fraction Of that required for the
entire digestive process, which va
ries in normal individuals from IL
to At hours. Carbohydrates leave
the stomach most quickly, pro-
teins are next, and fats require
the longest period.
Miss s. G.-There is no justifi-
cation for serving toast at every
meal instead of bread. 1t is true
that proper toasting changes some
of the starch to dextrine which is
quickly and easily digested. But
ldUOIdLOIy CAPCl uiiOAco ASNSoA
that the proteins of toasted bread
and crusts have a lower digesti-
bility, and animals gain less
weight when fed on them than on
the untoasted bread and the in
side crumbs of the loaf.
Mrs. M. S. FL do not approve
of the strictly vegetarian diet be-
cause it is unbalanced. One who
desires to omit all animal foods
from the diet must also omit the
top-notch protective foods, milk
and eggs. 1t is doubtful if adequate
protein could be supplied without
milk, eggs or meat. Good health
is best maintained on balanced
diet, and is such a priceless pos
session that / cannot understand
why anyone should risk the con-
sequences of consuming a one

Big Navy Bill Passed

157,000,00O naval expansion bill
was passed by the senate by a vote
of Sc to %.
The measure empowers this gov
eminent to surpass the rearmament
programs of other nations with con-
struction of the most powerful war
ships ever f1oated. However, it pre-
cludes the possibility of the United
States precipitating a race of super
warships by limiting the size of fu-
ture battleships to treaty specifica-
tons of $4,000 tons unless it is de-
termined foreign powers are build
ing in excess of treaty restrictions.
In the latter event, the United
States will be authorized to con-
struct super-dreadnaughts of $4,000
tons, armed with deadly 18-inch

Iodine in Drinking Water

Even in early times, it was be-
lieved that there was some rela-
ton between goiter and drinking
water, and recent evidence has
disclosed that there was sound
basis for this belief. Two investi.
gators found that the water in
large part of the northern half Of
the United States falls into low
iodine classification.
Several communities have given
consideration to the prevention OF
goiter by the addition of iodine to
the water supply. This method is
commendable, but it must be
borne in mind that wherever 10
dine is taken in forms other than
food, careful supervision by the

Animal Experiments Point The WAY


In 1916, it was estimated that a
million young pigs died annually
in Wisconsin. Investigation dis
closed that their thyroid glands
were abnormally large and alb
normally low in iodine. When 10
dine was administered to the
mothers, the young pigs were born
normal.
Scientists reasoned that if goiter
could be prevented in animals, it
could be prevented in humans,
and undertook the now famous
census in Akron, Ohio. A study
was made of the thyroid glands Of
all school girls from the fifth to
the twelfth grades. Almost so per
cent were found to have enlarged
thyroid glands.
The girls were given small
doses of sodium iodide dissolved
in drinking water at given periods
over 2k years. At the end Of
that time, investigators found that
