Nation Calls For
In Wheat Crop
Department of Agriculture and
State Officials Set High
Mark For Pro
duction THE producUon of over 1.000,000,
0(0 bushels of wheat and over
83,000,000 bushels of rye through
the planting of 47,337,000 acres to win
ter wheat and of 5,131,000 to rye this
full is the immediate war agricultural
program for the nation announced by
Imvld F. Houston, secretary of agri
culture. This record winter wheat
acreage, an increase of 18 per cent
oter last year, would yield 072.000,000
bushels If the average yield for the
pust ten years Is equuled, or under a
repetition of the favorable conditions
of would give 880,000,000 bushels.
In either ciise with a spring wheat
crop next year equal to that of 1015
the nation will have more than 1,000,
000,000 bushels of wheat for domestic
use and export.
This vitstly Increased production of
wheat, needed in any case, will be ab
solutely essential to prevent a serious
shortage of breadstuff next summer
should the growing com, now behind
the season, be much damaged by early
frosts.
The program approved by the secre
tary of agriculture represents the best
thougut of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and of state agri
cultural oillcials and state councils f
d lifeline.
Many Factors Involved.
The study of this question has lnvolv
ed many factors, and the specialists
have been awnro from the first that
the demands for wheat may exceed ths
supply next year. Effort therefore has
been made to recommend in each state
about as large an acreage In wheat and
rye as can be sown without upsetting
proper farm practice, wnicn must he
maintained la the interest of wheat and
rye crops this and succeeding years as
well ns In the Interest of other neces
sary spring planted crops which are not
discussed In detail at this time, as they
are not food crops iu which a marked
shortage exists.
The estimates, the department states,
are made with the knowledge that there
is somo shortage of the fertilizer sup
ply, but with the understanding that
there will be no general shortage In the
supply of seed or of farm machinery
which Is necessary in the production of
the wheat crop. It Is 'understood also
that ample transportation facilities wHl
be provided and a fair price for wheat
will be established. These factors have
been assumed as fixed and satisfactory.
If any one or more fall to be adjusted
in good tltuo no person can tell how
serious will be tho effect on the total
crop.
Unusual Efforts by Farmers.
The pluntlug and cultivation of these
increased acreages of fall sown grains
call for Unusuul effort on the part of
tho farmers. Plans to place at the dis
posal of farmers all assistance possible
ore being perfected in the United States
department of agricult ure, the state col
leges of agriculture and other Rtato and
local agencies which co-operate in farm
ing matters. The assistance of success
ful growers of wheat and rye in a cam
paign to turn out bumper crops iu 1918
is assured.
The state officials will do their ut
most to get the acreage1) expected of
their states into the ground. The pro
gram ns originally Worked out by the
federal department of agriculture call
ed for somewhat moro than 41,000,000
acres to be sown this fall. When this
proposal was presented to the officials
of the several states a further Increase
Was considered possible and desirable
By thorn. As a consequence the recom
mendation for tho sowing of 47,337,000
acres is made.
Following ia a summary of the de
partment's recommendations regarding
winter wheat and rye:
Wheat. V
The planting of approximately 47,
337,000 acres to winter w heat, on the
basis of the average yield for the past
ten years, indlcotes a total production
of 072,000,000 bushels, which exceeds,
all previous -winter wheat crops har
vested in the United States with the
exception of the crops of 1911 and 1915,
when the acreages harvested and yields
per acre were both above normal. If
the extremely favorable conditions un
der which the winter wheat crop of
1914 was grown are again experienced
the yield of whiter wheat next year
will be 880,000,000 bushels, or by far
the largest winter wheat crop ever pro
duced and even larger than the total
of both winter and spring wheat crops
for all past years except two.
Principal Increases.
The principal Increases In acreage of
winter wheat are recommended In the
areas where the acreage devoted to
that cereal are already large and farm
ers are accustomed to growing wheat
and are equipped with machinery for
producing the crop. A material In
crease also Is recomemled In most of
the areas where the production of oats
and corn Is heavy, since much wheat
can be sown to advantage on oat stub
ble aud In the standing corn or on
ground from -which the corn crop has
been removed for tho silo or cut for
fodder. .
Eye to Be Increased.
It Is recommended that there be
own in the United States this fall
S.131.000 acres of rye, which, on tho
THE REVIEW: REIDSVILIJE. N. C.
Billion Bushels
In the Next Year
Acreage to Be Greatly In
creased Rye Yield Also

of Officials
basis of ten year averages, will yield
83,035.000 bushels. This Is an Increase
of 017,000 acres, or 22 per cent over
that sown last year, when the largest
acreage in the history of the country
was put In. It Is an Increase of 48 per
cent over the 1915 acreage and of 07
per cent over the five year (1912-16)
average sown acreage.
In any consideration of the expansion
of the acreage of bread grains in cer
tain parts of the country it is necessary
to consider wheat and rye together,
This Is because rye can be planted safe
ly on many fields with less risk than
wheat. Further, rye can be used as a
substitute for wheat as a bread grain
by those who are accustomed to It. Rye
succeeds on poorer soils and with less
fertilizer and In colder climates than
wheat aud for these reasons should be
planted In preference to wheat where it
has been proved a safer crop. The
farmer who, because of an attractive
guaranteed price for wheat, may be
tempted to plant wheat rather than rye
In a locality where rye is the more cer
tain crop takes a speculative risk of
loss through winter killing and destruc
tive wheat diseases which is unwarrant
ed. While no guaranteed price for rye
lias been authorized by congress, there
is every reason to expect that the price
of rye for the next year will bear a sat
isfactory relation to that of wheat and
therefore Justify the planting of rye
where the present experience with it In
dicates Its superiority.
Methods to Increase Yields,
Specialists of the department of ag
riculture aud the state agricultural col
leges hope that by better methods the
average yield per acre will be at least
malntuined wherever there Is a fer
tilizer shortage and will be Increased
in other sections. .'" Much educational
work .will 'be done to make this desire
an actuality, and in this campaign the
most successful growers will have a
prominent part. For instance, It is
stated that on the land that could be
sown to fall wheat this autumn it Is
possible materially to increase the
yield per acre by putting Into practice
some, principles that are already well
known to most farmers. These should
appeal especially to those who cannot
Increase their usual acreages without
doing injustice to otar crops which
should be grown.
These principles may be summed up
as follows:
First. Plow early. Give the plowed
land two months to settle before sow
ing whore possible.
Second. Compact the late plowed j
land with roller and harrow.
Third. Don't plow after a cultivated
crop. Prepare such land with disk and
harrow.
Fourth. Make the seed bed a fit
place for the seed.
Fifth. Sow with a drill sound,
plump, clean seed of adapted variety.
Sixth. Prevent losses from smut by
treating Infected seed' with formalde
hyde. Seveuth Make the soil fertile with
manure or fertilizers applied Judicious
ly where needed.
Eighth. Iteduce winter killing by
following the above suggestions.
The accomplishment of this grent in
crease of wheat and rye acreage with
out disrupting correct farming practice
will call for tremendous effort on the
part of farmers. However, the United
States department of agriculture, the
state colleges of agriculture and other
state and local agencies are planning
to aid in every way possible.
ROOP PRAISES AIRMEN.
6ays Amerioan Army Avlatora Are Un
equalled. '.
"The American army aviators are
not equaled anywhere In the world,"
said Lieutenant General Vladimir Roop,
head of the Russian commission, after
witnessing a special exhibition of a
score of army filers In commffod'SfeV
Captain Charles Gaetz In Camp Kelly,
Texas.
"I would not like to make any pre
diction at this moment," he added, "but
I feel satisfied In my own mind after
what I have seen here today in saying
that the United States jnust be counted
with In this war, and If It puts a fleet
in the struggle on a par with this bat
tle exhibition the enemy must be wiped
out. I confess I was not prepared to
find the United States so well prepared
and so magnificently equipped.
"Russia is coming back. While I
cannot discuss plans, you may say my
country will give a good account of
itself and will score a great record yet
In thU wanfor liberty and democracy."

8ohime Wilt Maka It a Tax on tha
Whola People, Says Insurance Man.
Tha Treasury, War, Navy and Com
merce Department Are Working on
It to Avoid Evlla of Pension Syetem.
Following a conference in Washing
ton with Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, a committee of prominent in-
surauce men have drawn up a plan for
pensions or compensation for casual
ties in the war, which will be submit
ted to congress.
The details are to be worked out in
ec-operation with the secretary of the
treasury and officials of the war, navy
and commerce departments, as well as
the Council of National Defense. It
was said they will conform as closely
as possible to the principle of the work
men's compensation law.
To give some idea to soldiers, their
families and the public of what the
government, aided by the insurance
men, was trying to work out, the head
of one of the large companies, who
deprecated any idea of self advertise
ment and therefore did not wish to be
quoted by name, outlined the basis on
which the experts are working.
"The government," he Bald, "is Inter
ested in putting something through In
this matter that will be a happy solu
tion of a dlfflcult problem. It decided
to appoint a committee of actuaries,
with the agreement that the insurance
companies would help the government
It is not life Insurance that is sought.
It Is casualty insurance or, better still,
it is compensatory insurance.
That Uncle Sam Is a great big em
ployer was the idea finally agreed on by
the insurance and casualty 'chemists'
down In Washington, and the proposed
insurance will In effect be a death ben
efit for the dependents of those who
succumb in action.
To Avoid Evila of Old 8ytem.
"The government, you Bee, Is very
eager to do something to avoid pen
sioning as it has formerly existed, to
avoid the exUs of the old pension ays- ;

These ao.ooo volunteer salesmen have been a big factor in creating the Paige
waiting lists that are growing steadily throughout the country. -The
nation-wide enthusiasm for the Paige is inspired by the mechanical ex
cellence of The Most Beautiful Car in America, its reliability, its durability,
its economy of operation its supreme quality.

tern, wnat it wants to work out la
compensatory Insurance. Age has noth
ing to do with it It Isn't life insur
ance. I "Ot course the companies might have
gone into a pool or a bureau, and the
government would be sending out
checks after proof, but the'great desire
sow is to simplify the whole. matter.
"In short, it is proposed to put the
pension plan on a workman's compen
sation basis. Of course It is up to
congress, but I think it will go right
through without a hitch. Mr. McAdoo
stated what was wanted on behalf of
the president, and the companies are
willjng to lend to the government their
expert service, tneir statistics, etc,
They have very recent statistics from
Canada, where a great deal of insur
ance is carried.
"The government and the represents
tlves are in co-operation to develop the
simplest possible plan, such a one as
I Is being carried out by big business
, through the workmen's compensation.
"The workmen s compensation law
Interposes between the workmen and
the hazards of labor. By this plan
It is desired to interpose between the
soldier and the hazards of war. The
plan when finally worked out may be
varied, according to the condition of
the family of a soldier. It might be
a matter of compensation by install
ments.
Will Be a Tax on Whola People.
"The principle of the workmen's com
pensatlon is being recognized by the
United States In this war. The gov
ernment says: 'We'll meet the neces
sary tax to compensate, and It will be
a tax on the whole people. It will be
j Just the same as if the problem arose
In a bridge factory, a shoe factory or
on a railroad. We'll tax ourselves
Here's a whole army going up against
these hazards, and some must meet
them.'
"Such acceptance of this principle
amounts to a social evolution. It
would be a victory to have it accept
ed without debate, and with this com
pensation principle granted and accept
ed the ground is covered for this war.
It will help volunteering, for the vol
unteers nearly all have dependents and
the drafted have not. It simply shows
what a great democracy does for it
self in this emergency.
"Such a system would supplement
a soldier's per diem. His dependents
would get his compensatory damages.
That is why the government wants
the plan crystallized in advance. The
plan will probably be uniform, with
out regard to previous occupation."
