prices, Jones said, ito establish de-
sireable price relationships at levels
designed to bring the needed volume
of production"
The increase in wheat acreage
which with favorable weather could
produce more bushels than the 1912
bumper crop year-was seen as a
plan to prepare for feeding occupied
Europe.
Jones said farmers would be asked
to increase their acreage of such
crops as dry beans and peas, soy
beans, potatoes, and peanuts to meet
the swiftly changing pattern of
wartime consumption.
The program also will include
measures to assist farmers in car
rying out conservation programs
and thus reach and maintain max
imum productivity from their land.
AS additional aid, the VIA said
considerably more machinery and
larger supplies of fertilizer will be
available to farmers next year.
On a basis of prospective food
requirements, Jones said, it now ap-
pears likely that an increase of 80
to 40 per cent of this year will be
needed for dry beans and peas, 20

few weeks ago-some of the 80
noncommissioned officers who re-
ceived Red Cross certificates as
swimming instructors here today
after exhibiting their skill to their
officers and a group of high Red
Gross officials.
1t was amazing how well these
novices had learned, how proficient
they had become after a few weeks
instructions.
This part of a Nationwide effort
by the Red Cross to help soldiers
learn to swim. The War Depart
ment has indorsed the campaign
and many posts have taken advan-
tage of the opportunity. And the
Red Cross, believing countless
number of needless casualties have
been recorded in this war because
men couldn't swim, stands ready to
put on the program at any camp
that wants it.
The 80 noncoms at the Engineer
Replacement Training Center who
finished the course swan with slung
rifles and full packs to show they
had learned to take care of them
selves and were ready to teach their
buddies, They swan through fire,
pushing it carelessly aside. splash
ing it out of the way. They gave
rescue demonstrations.
And now these men will take over
classes in their battalions, hoping
to teach great many others what
they've learned.
The exhibition was given in a tank
at the Replacement Center. Charles
w. Russell, a Red Cross field rep
resentative for first aid and water
safety, had taught the men. Wit
neSses included Brig. Gen. Edwin

RHINELANDER, Wis, Aug. 7
Roane Waring, national commander
of the American Legion, declared
tonight an uncertain and vacillat-

the best method Of instructing be-
ginners. There were demonstrations
of various useful strokes. These
were carried out in conventional
swimming trunks.
Then the men put on uniforms,
packs and rifles and showed what
soldier would be up against if his
ship were sunk or if he had to cross
stream too deep for fording.
One stunt was simulated ship
wreck. The men, presumably tossed
into the water, would have to stay
at1oat indefinitely without aid. In
the water they took off their shoes
and trousers-and at this point the

came water wings. The boys tied
up the ends of the trousers and in
flated them while treading water
and proved the improvised lifesavers
could be a great help in staying
af1oat.

improvising a stretcher out of a
blanket, buoyed at each end by
some of those inflated khaki trous-
erS.
Another group in field equipment
gave display of quiet" swimming
which could be extremely important
close to enemy lines. They slipped
into the water silently and swan
the tank with hardly a ripple.
How to get through water under
fire with minimum exposure was
another test. These boys swan un-
der water most of the time, coming
up to breathe now and then.
