NO BIG INCREASE IN WHEAT
PLANNED, SAY GROWERS

Washington wheat farmers are not
planning to make any substantial in
crease in acreage as q result of the
European war until they are sure that
there will be demand for their pro-
luct, according to AAA committeeman
from wheat counties who met in a
special "war crop" conference at
Colfax last week.
Representatives Of 10 Washington
counties as we'll as 10 counties in nor.
thern Idaho were unanimous in stat
ing their opinions that farmers in
their sections were making a careful
study of the situation before seeding
their winter wheat.
More than 500 community and
county committeeman, county agents
and farmers gathered to hear N. E..
Dodd, director of the western divis-
ion of AAA, who pointed out that
present world supplies of wheat are
at the highest point in history, in
sharp contrast to the situation In
1914. He added THAT European coun-
tries had become nearly self sufficient
in recent years and that due to the
fact that the United States is now
a creditor country purchases from this
country would probably be used for
other needed war materials.
"I hope you will study the situa-
tion carefully and then honestly ask
yourselves this question: Can we af-
ford to raise wheat that we can't
sen%.n Dodd declared, adding that
should prolonged war reduce the
present heavy surplus American acre
age could easily be expanded.
Following his address, Dodd called
fer q report from each of the 80 coun-
ties represented, Nearly all reported
an increased amount of wheat going
under government loan and that the
crop insurance feature of the, program
was being favorably received by far
mers. Several counties reported that
insurance indemnities had been paid
in areas where it had been said that
crop failure was never experienced.

pating an influx of Gulf Stream
fishermen this season. Bath houses
