4 q i i EIGHT BISM GREAT NATIONAL WHEAT RESERVE PLAN OF HOOVER Even Abundant Harvests Will Not Remove All Restcic- tions in Use of Wheat. Tr —_ By N. D. Food Administration. Herbert Hoover, backed by the unan- ftmous opinion of the Federal Food Ad- ministrators from all the states, Is planning to create “grent national re- gerves” of wheat as a safeguard against possible lean harvests in fu- ture years. ‘or this purpose the peo- ple of the United States will be asked to restrict their consuniption of wheat even should there be abundant har- vests this year. Mr. Hoover Issued the following statement: “Recent press dispatches, widely eir- culate through the country, have given the wholly false impressivn that there is no longer need for rigorous conservation of wheat and flour. “The Food Administration declares that every aspect of the wheat situa- tion, both present and prospective, in- tensifies the need for the greatest pos- sible conservation of wheat and wheat products, If the present restrictions should be in the slightest degree re- laxed It would result in serious want for the people of Eurepe before the new crop can reavh the market. “The food administration's estimate of the situation the first of June tn- dicates a total available supply until the next harvest, including the grain that will be available from the farmers {n country and terminal elevators, and all mill elevators, of about fifty-six million bushels. Of this about thirty aifllion bushels must be exported ‘be- fore the new wheat Is available for ex- port, if we are to maintain the abso- lutely necessary shipments of our army and the allies. That leaves about 26, 000,000 bushels for domestic consump- tion during the next two monihs, “The normal consumption is some thing over forty million bushels a month so that the most liberal con- sumption at home would be only one third of normal. “In addition to the wheat on the farms and in the elevators there Is al- Ways an Indeterminate further amount in transit and in the dealers hands and this.can never be reckoned in with the flour available for export and for use at home. As a matter of fact this stock is not actually available since these supplies must remain constantly In flow; they. remain a. p ainent stock, the removal of which would layer cause a period of acute shortage (f/ distributed before the new wheat would be available. “There is further an inclination to tnclude new crop prospects with pres- ent conditions which has led to con- tusion. The harvest will not be gen- erally availahle in flour until the mid- dle of August or early September, al- though In the extreme south it will be somewhat earlier. “At.a meeting of the Federal Food Administrators at Washington yester- Gay, representing -all the forty-elght states, it was the unanimous view that even if the harvest does prove abun- dant it will be the first duty of the American people to place every grain they can save In storage as against possible bad years ahead. In conse- quence there should be no anticipation of unlimited wheat bread until the war is over. “Some of the most inconvenient re- jany means. Strictions can n0 doubt be modified with the arrival of a large harvest but (f we are honest with ourselves we will maintain restrictions requiring the use of some substitutes both domestic and commercial; we will continue the requirements of a high milling extrac- tion and the elimination of the nones- Sential use of and waste in flour and bread. “It 1s worth remembering that the famine in Egypt elght thousand years ago was saved by a late governmental foresight and it does not require any Uluminating dream to anticipate that 8o long as the war lasts with ‘ts in- creasing drafts for soldiers and mu- altion workers the world will steadily produce less food. If we are wise a Great harvest will mean the willing building up of great national re- serves,” a c _—_— Bread {is the staff of life, but very few Americans need a staff. The Function of the Food Administration By Herbert Hoover. To so guide the trade in the fun- damental food commodities as to eliminate vicious speculation, extor- tion and wasteful practices and to stabjlize prices in the essential sta- ples. To guard our exports so that against the world's shortage, we retain sufficlent supplies for our own people and to co-operate with the Allles to prevent inflation of prices. To stimulate in every manner within our power the productian and saving of our food in order that we may increase exports to the Allies to a point which will enable them to properly provision their armies and to feed their peoples.

HIGH COST OF LIVING SHOWN GOVERNMENT Expenses of the Administration Have Mounted Almost Half Million in Two Yearg _ Mounting living costs are reflected in a comparative statement of ad- ministrative expenses for the last two years, showing that it cost $409,103.16 more to govern the'state of North La- kota for the eleven months ending June 1, 1918, than for the same ,pev- iod ending June 1, 1916. “The votai % cost of state government trom July i, 1916, to June 4, 1916, was $1,936,866.21. For the same period, ending Juae 1, 1916, the cost was §2,300,85i.11. ‘Lhe increase in adminisurauve expenses purely was $368,9 0, and there is ‘added to this $4 6, making « gland total-advance of $409,7u3.16, Among the many factors which have contributed to the higher cost of governing the state during the last year are the increased cost of mam- taining the state’s charitable and pen- al institutions, due to advances in the cost of food stuffs and other sup. plies. The state auditor’s office cost 314,191.93 for the last eleven months, as compared with $10,409.98 two years 880; Lug Suale treasurer's office snOWs a slight decrease, $1°,099.90, as com- pared with $10,515.44. The commis- sioner. of agriculture and labor dur- ing the last eleven months has spent $16.776.53, as compared with $8,839.31 two years ago. The dairy commission- er’s expenses were $10,594.47, as com- pared with, $8,609.16; the attorney general's office, $32,969.17, as com- pared with $13,682,783; the superin- tendent of public. instruction, $3%,- 005.16, as compared with $24,025.13. Included in the advanced adminis- trative costs are $54,327.54, expended in salaries and other expenses by the state highway commission during the last year, and $20,520.29 used by the state grain inspection department. ‘Both of, these are items of expense which could not have been incurred by the former administration, .thesc departments having been created by legislative acts of 1917.

WHEAT ACREAGE UP 10 FIVE-YEAR STATE AVERAGE Indications Are That Yield Will Be Above Normal, Says U. S: Bureau of Estimates f The government crop report for June ist issued today by the U. S. bureau of crop estimates shows that the farmers of North Dakata and of other statesg have gone over the top in a very, commendable manner in answer:to:the nationai call for a greater wheat acreage this season. Spring. wheat acreage in North Da- kota is estimated to be 7,630,000 acres, This is an- increase of nine percent above the’’7,000,000 acreage of last {season and practically upto the five year ‘average of 7,657,000 acres. In addition to the’national wheat drive other ‘important: factors favored an increased wheat acreage. Supply of seed wheat was':the most imporiant plentiful generally of all spring sown grains and of ‘excellent quality. Soil wad in fine condition for field work. Spring opened up unusually early and remained: almost’ continuously ideal for seeding a large acreage much ear- lier than the average thus largely re- ducing the possitélity of serious rust damage ‘later. ‘Excepting some coun- tids chiefly in the north central part of the state where rye acreage was heavy nearly all;counties show a sub- stantially increased wheat acreage. In- crease is especially heavy in western counties. Spring wheat :acreage in the United States estimated: to be 22,489,000 ac- res ‘compared with 18,511,000 acres last year and a five year average of 18,406,000. acres. § Condition of wheat in North Dako- cent a year ago and a five-year aver- age of ninety-three percent. Indicat- ed production is 92,247,000 bushels. compared to 56,000,000 ‘bushels last year and a five-year average of 9: 112,000 bushels. \From early growth period up to the second week of May the wheat crop ‘was subjected to the worst whipping by winds in the state records. Numerous severe frosts kept setting ‘back the crop as late as Map 19th. Early seed{ng however had given the crop a vigorous, ‘deep root ‘growth and with:the advent of gen- eral rains during the last two weeks of May, the crop showed wonderful recovery exceeding all earlier expec- tations. Slight and’ spotted damage is noticed’occasionally, but the actual loss of: acreage from frost and wind is mostly confined to occasional sum- mer fallowed fields or light soils in the northern’ patt-of the state, which were largely resown to feed crops or flax. This damage however is spot- ted and did ‘not require more than one percent reduction in the original jlan ed wheat acreage for the state Con- dition of remaining acreage: at the end of the month was very favorable with few exceptions over the state. Grain is stooling heavily. .Top-growth slightly backward but plants are vig- orous and have good color. Splendid rains have given soil sufficent mols. some time. The above comments will also apply in a general way to the oats and barley condition... Oats acre- age slightly decreased and barley scre- age substantially decreased due. to the seed situation and heavy acreage increase’in wheat and rye.

Mrs. Adaths spent more than a year on the French front, returning the fore part of 1917, resolved that her duty lay in preaching war to America. “I knew that we must go in,” said Mrs, Adams today. “But I was afraid. Returning from that land of heroism and self-sacrifice, America seemed to me a country that had lost its soul Divided into little units of nationali- ties, money-mad and indifferent, it seemed on the surface. And what a wonderful revelation it has been— this year of war! Terrible as the war is and will be, to America it will be a great blessing, for in this war America has found itself, and it will emerge from the war a nation united as it never was before. We will have an era of Americanization which will not countenance the building up of foreign communities within our boun- daries. . We will become a nation one. in thought and principle and spirit.” © War In Front Trenches. ) Mrs, Adams went into the front line trenches at. a time when only two other women had been permitted there. She wrote of her experiences and other periodicals, and she return- ed home, 15 months ago with a con- ture to keep up crop developmen’. for = tract for a series of articles for Harp- ers’ and the Saturday Evening Post. She went to her publishers and asked release from her bargain''that’ she might serve as a volunteer in the ranks of national speakers who were endeavoring to prepare this country for the inevitable. “There are so many who have written and can write of these things, and so few who will go out to the people and tell them, talk to them, about what they have actually seen over there,” said Mrs. Adams in explanation. Her first lecture took her back and forth across the continent on a tour of the larger cities. Now she fs find- ing the real America in the backwoods and rural communities. “I have prid- ed myself on being an explorer, but my greatest discovery is the real Am- erica. It doesn’t exist in the cities— it is here, in the country, where the people live genuine lives arfd' give natural expression to them. My hus- QUT Clerk Making Sale . band and I hoped, before we complet: ed our work, to once more cross Af- rica. ‘But everything will be changed there, after the war. Much of the good work the French have done has benn undone; chavs has been restored out of order, and, anyway, we feel that our work Mes here. And I am quite confident that it will be work fully as interestning and gs gratifying as we could find in any other part of the world.” ‘ Has Visited Every State. When Mrs. Adams completes her tour of North Dakota and South Dako- | ta, she will have visited at least once ; every state in the nation, since her return from the French front. She comes here from northwestern Min- nesota, where she visited the smaller towns and thé Indian reservations. At one point she talked to a large as- semblage of Chippewas through an interpreter. She has reason to tear that even here German propaganda is at work, and -wherever possible she speaks direct to the aborigines. While here she will visit Berthold and Stand- ing Rock reservations to find mater- ial for future articles. Mrs. Adams is a young woman who radiates intellect, and who is at the same time a wholesome, human little body, whose appeal to the tens of thousands who have heard her can easily be understood. She has been in “Who's \Who” for a great many years. Born in Stockton, Calif. and educated privately, in 1899 she married Franklin Pierce Adams, another na- tive of Californian, who has become | equally distinguished as an engineer, a scientist and a man of letters. In 1900 Mrs. Adams traveled through Mexico, studying Latin-American af- fairs. In 1903 she began a three- years’ journey through Central and South America, trayelling 40,000 miles, visiting every kwown country, and reaching many points before unknown to any white. woman. For several years following she lectured in the United States upon South America. Her latest travels have included in- vasions of the wildest sections of Africa and Asia, and only recently she penetrated to sections’ of Haiti where the aboriginal African is still to be found uncontaminated by any ra- cial admixture. She is a member of the National Geographic society,’ and a contributor to the National Geogra- phic magazine and other well known periodicals. ~ LIGNITE MEN PLAN PUBLICITY TO AID HOME CONSUMPTION for the National Geographic magazine; Name of Purchaser ..
