FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1921. PRODUCTION Is ~ LARGER, CLAIM Gain of 190,000,000 Bushels Over Crop Harvested in 1920 Claimed by Agri- cultural Department. WASHINGTON, Nov. wheat production this year of the 29 leading wheat-growing. countries of the world, excluding Russia, reached 2,852,825,000 bushels, or approximate- ly 190,000,000 bushels more than in 1920, according to latest estimates re- ported today by the department of agriculture, For next year's crop, the department reported generally fa- vorabla conditions throughout the northern hemisphere for winter wheat sowing. Seeding wus said to be nearly com- pleted in Canada and all but the far west section of the United States, where it has been seriously delayed by drought, and a similar condition was reported for central Europe, ere favorable conditions, except in France, which 1s suffering from @rought, should tend to increase acreage, It was said. Favorable grow- ing conditions and increased acreage were said to promise a ldrge crop for Austrelia. In Argentina, spring planting was said to have been seri- ously delayed by insufficient moist- ure with the result that the 1921-1922 acreage would be approximately 1,- 000,000 acres short. of the 14,947,000 acres planted last season. Favorable sowing conditions and prospects for a normal acreage in India and South Africa, were report- ed, while the wheat crop in China was said to be generally disappoint- ing with prospects of being below average in volume. DISTINGTION 1S DRAWN IN TEAMS — (Continued from Page 1.) ot oe land has the biggest’ merchant nfa- . America has a vast number of ships, too. Certainly no nation wants to Umit the building of ships used for conrnercial purposes. Yet some agreement must be made as to the ¢onversion cf those merchantmen® in time of war. So the public can rest assured: of one thing—the United States doesn’t intend to scrap {ts army and nevy merely to respond to an emotional’ de mand that America set the others ,a good example. America means to force a curtailment of armament Yuilding. On that score the United States has an advantage. For if the Fest of the world will not agree to quit spendigg money for useless arma- ment, the Untted States will find \ herself compelied slowly to build the most powerful navy afloat. That may Sound like an empty threat, but ft is # fact that our officials believe Amer- fea will have no alternative and that 4£ the other nations fail to limit their programs the United Smmtes will be ip a good position to continue her Raval construction. i f America is not actuated alone, how- 4 ‘ever, by the desire to see the chances a Pe of wur minimized by a general reduc- ‘¢ tion in naval power, The United States would like to see the other €puntries cut down so that the enor- mous sums now spent on armies and nayies could be better devoted to the gpeulldiog of the economic strength ff each country. Furthermore; if Tess money were spent on armament, lgss money would have to be ra'sed by the Buropeans to meet their tax Bills and the price of their paper cur- rency in terms of gold yould corre- Spondingly rise. "This would tend to Stabilize international exchange and make it possible for America to sell Ker agricultural and manufactured products in foreign markets agtin. It ‘Would mean a revival of business and 4m end of unemployment. Also, it would mean that the European coun- tries which owe America billions of ‘dollars would be able to begin pay- ments on their war debt and interest. ‘The receipt of a half billion dollars of Interest alone from Europe would mean an immediate easing of the bur- den on the American ‘taxpayer. - Be- \W hind the urge for limitation of arma- ment are practical and material rea- ms as well as idealistic conceptions. But how crn armament be limited? ‘This corresnendent has canvassed the Wigner army and navy officials. They talk th terms of relativity.. I¢ Amec- fea ceases building so many ships, so Shall the others, If America gives up so many fortifications so shall the others. And so on. But the navy men admit that in the end the pro- portion of strength between the large Powers will remain the same. They see no other way out of it. They con- ede the necessity for @ reduction of the financial burden but they zealous- ly Insist on holding the United States fis the second naval power if not the first. Undoubtedly British policy will be the same. Japan would be pre- ¥ented from catching up with Amer- ita or passing the United States and menacing the British -seapower, if Such a stupendous job- could really he borne by Japanese people which is to be doubted. The Japanese, how- ever, would be checked—America and England would stand stil! and money wwould be saved. That's about as con- - ptrete & program as ‘one hears dis- cussed in Washington. As for coast defenses in the Pacific, the fortification of strategic bases and all that sort of thing, our military and naval experts talk\as if they were preparing for eyentualities in the Pa- cific irrespective of the outcome of the conference on Far Eastern prob. lems. Jf they had more faith’ in Jap- amese pledges, that wouldn't be the case. So in order to hold the mili- tary and naval set in America at bay dnd to keep the same class from run- WORLD WHEAT | THE AMERICANLEGION sone whan kned to cure in Europe.|_ “To show the world that Arkansas) When General Pershing visited (7 "preva, 1° Sestit_on the battlefield 1h hi {ning Tests on foreign | ‘produces the finest diamonds,” the} Kansas City this week to attend the i er in gover 4.— Totas | POY Which is fully discussed in to-| American Legion of that state pre- convention of the American Legion he ir BX ¢ gs the war; age limitations may morrow’s dispatch. i sented the new national commander, was received by members of his post The two halfhacKs on the Univer-'be waived In stich cases and the pe-' Cbe Casper Daily.
