GREAT LIBERTY WINTER WHEAT > GROP IS ASKED “ National Plan for Increased Pro- duction in 1919 Is Announced MUST INCREASE ACREAGE Washington, D. C., July 24.—A na- tional plan for a great Liberty Wheat Harvest in 1919 was announce’ today bythe U. . department of agricul- ture. American farmers are asked to sow to winter wheat this fall not | less than 45,000,000 acres—an in- crease of 7 per cent over last year's; sowing—and the department suggests | that an even greater area, approxi- mately 47,500,000 acres — an increase ; of more than 12 per cent over last | year—could be sown if conditions are especially favorable in all the states and would better meet the needs of the allied nations at war. - 667,000,000 Bushels Winter Wheat. From the snialier acreage a harvest of 636 million bushels might be ex- spected, it is estimated, and from the larger acreage 667) millions, based up- on an average yfeld of 1i.7 bushels an acre and an abandonment of 10 per cent of the area on account of win- ter kill’. The plan fixes definite acreages by states, and in a campaign to be launched immediately by the de- partment and the state agri- colleges and Jeading farmers through- out the country, growers will be ask- ed fo make good their state quotas. Thesrecommendations regarding the planting of spring wheat and other spring crops and regarding live stock will follow later. The total acreages assigned to the several states, both minimum and max imum, are shown in the accompany- ing table with the percentage of in- crease over the acreage sown last year indicated for each state In some states where a large increase of winter-wheat acreage is suggested, it ; is planned correspondingly ~-duce the spring wheat acreage. Winter wheat is a safer crop and produces a larger yield per acre, so the exchange is desirable in sections where this - practicable. The unusual weather conditions of” the last two years are responsible for the increased acre age of spring wheat this year in some sections where winter wheat usually is more extensively grown. Considers Needs. In announcing its wheat produc- tion program the department consid- ers the growing needs of this country and its allies for this. essential food. The last crop report forecasts a 1918 forecast is gratifying, it is pointed out that the reserve supply or carry-over ef wheat this year is practically ex- hausted and is the smallest on rec- ord. The need of building up reserves of wheat is evident. It is pointed out that although this country produced a A small wheat @op in 1917, the total ex- ports of wheat in excess «f imports, including flour in terms of wheat. amounted to approximately 100 mil- lion bushels for the year ending June 178 million: bushels exported in 1917, 9 ; 31 |came to Ireland, 236 million ‘bushels:in 1916, and 331 was: that if the Germans completely 4 7 @, . overthrew the British Government, the Possible:tor {hei United; States to, 6x Irish farmers would be not worse off and might be better; there would no longer be any elgal authority to col- million bushels in 1915. It was only port wheat in large quantities in 1915 and 1916 because of the large wheat | crops of 1912-13-14-15, which gave this ceuntry an accumulation ~* stocks of |! this grain.

Moreover, it must be borne in mind, says the department, that the carry- over in all the 10 importing countries of Europe was practically exhausted this year before the new harvest; that the normal consumption requirements of the exporting countries are increas- ing with the growth of population in- stead of diminishing, that some losses . instorage and transit may be expect- ed” to continue, und that it is highly desirable that a surplus should be ac- cumplated as insurance against par- - tial crop failure next year. To pro vide for these additfonal requirements it’ is therefore extremely desirable that the maximum acreage of winter wheat recommended be planted by the farmers in the United, States this fall. SBUYW. S. 5 IRISH FARMERS POOR ENLISTERS Dublin, June 2.—Irish farmers have been the most backward of all classes | in regard to recruiting for the army. Standish O'Grady, a distinguished Jrish writer, the author of several Trish novels and historical works, has issued a warning to them that, under the Land Purchase acts, they hold their lands by an act of the Imperial Parliament, that Parliament has ‘ad- vanced over purchase of! the land from the land- lords, has handed it over to thousands of preasant proprietors and is collect- ing from the purchase money by an- nual instaJments less in amount than j nurse in Marine and other hospitals their old rents. Mr. O'Grady reminds the farmers that “in supporting an attempting to overthrow the authority of the Im- perial Parliament they are trying to overthrow the very power to which they owe their existence as propri- etors and which alone can maintain them in secure ownership.” “Is it likely,” he asks, “that the Imperial Parliament having its hun- dreds of thousands of discharged, brave, loyal soldiers to provide for, will leave Ireland, in the ownership of men, a mere class, who in this deadly crisis, this life and death strug- gle, are proving themselves foes of England, of Great Britain, of the Birt- ish Empjre—which ought to be their ‘Anglo-Irish Empire—and of their great allied nations? They will not Tespect the brand new lafd titles which they themselves have made and can wnmake. “With every day that passes the temper of, England is rising.
