Uncle Sans pantry shelves or his
bread boxes will be milled in Kansas.
Last year, we had a superabun-
dance of wheat And it was a good
thing we did have this supply, be-
cause the average family eats about
300 loaves Of bread each year, and
we are called upon to share with
others our abundance. We have
not mentioned the cereals made
from wheat, either.
Wheat stocks in the United States
as of January l. 1912, were esti-
mated to be 98S,000,000 bushels
This is 269, 1000, 900 bushels above the
stocks OF the previous year. Stocks
remaining for export or rry-over
in the four major exporting coun-
tries are estimated at 1,524,000, 900
bushels. So we are assured Of hav-
ing all the bread we need America
the blessed, can share with her
neighbors across the sea.
The raising OF wheat calls for a
specialized training. State colleges
offer courses for those who wish to
embark in this undertaking. There
are many obstacles to hurdle before
the wheat is safely stored. Insects,
rusts, droughts and too much rain
have to be expected. Machinery
for planting and harvesting the
wheat Is costly. Labor is often hard
to find. This year, of course, the
problem was acute. But, as last
year, the girls gaily went to the
wheat fields and took over the jobs
men were forced to leave behind
them. and, according to all accounts,
did a swell lob.

WHEAT.

Wheat is the most valuable plant
in the world.
That is big statement to make.
but what would we do without it?
1t is member of the grass family,
and 1t is truly worth its weight in
gold. More land is planted to wheat
than to any other single plant. The
earth's wheat fields total about
100000 square miles. and their yield
is something like four billion bushels
annually.
This plant can be grown from
the edge of the Arctic to the tip Of
the tropics. 1t reaches its perfec-
ton in America in the central plains

Good Afternyoon

Even more absurd than radio
He said, and l quote" is new
phenomenonsense that the air
wavers are treating us to from coast
to coast and by short wave from
overseas-that of putting long ''u''
(yoo) sound in such words as noon,
two, too, do, blue. flew, through,
thus: "nyoon, tyoo, syoon, dyoo,
flyoo. thryoo.'
This pronouncing folly IS heard
regularly on a network program
that purports to be based on one of
our leading dictionaries! A London
correspondent" invariably short
waves reports of happenings this
ahfternyoon" in Britain. Isn't this
going to a great deal of trouble to
be wrong?
1t would be laughable but for the
unfortunate fact that many listeners
believe IF broadcaster Facsimile @.
Boxtop says it, it must be correct"
1t is as incorrect to say "nyoon'
and "syoon" as it would be to say
"myoon" for moon. "byoon" for
boon, "cyoon" for coon, 'lyoon" for
loon Surely there already are
enough hard-to- to-pronounce words in
English without the deliberate in
vention of such monsters as these
Some day Facsimile @. Boxtop is
going to discover dictionary: and
I fervently hope that the shock will
not be too much for him.
Such words as these should never
have the long "u'' tyoo) sound: blue,
brew, chew. crew, drew. flew, fluent,
fruit, glue, grew. include, judicious.
