Is by , A. National plan is on font for a Liberty .whoat harvest for tho coming year. Tho full operation of tho plan Is up to the farmers of ' the country It Is a amltejr that ' : lien with thu producers to carry out tho plan as desired. ,In general i outline the proposition Is to In crease the acreage of fall bowii grain over that of last year. This . Is, the right season to commence, "preaching" on this mattor, since It 's found In bo, the best policy undor the average conditions to got fall-grain In the ground as early as, possible. Just as soon as the fields are cleared of the proae,nt crop is tho right Urn ft , to bogm on fall sowing whero such a thing ; Is practicable. American farmers are asked to sow this yoar 4 5,000,000 ncros in : winter wheat and two and a half million anros more than that would be, all the bolter. This would glvo an acreago of twolve.per cant oyer that of last year, and under simi lar conditions would ' increase the .. next yoar'a ylnld to the same ex tent;' On tho bnnls of n little over flftoen bushels In tho acre and al lowing Ion per cont for winter kil ling, would give n ylcjd of (1(17,- . 000,000 bushels. Tho plan fixes a iloflnlto acreage by states and a campaign Is to ho : launched by tho department and state colleges as well us leading growers to make the quota In th. different states. Regulations regarding spring wheat planting and inattors pertain ing to tho llvo stock Industry will follow in duo course of tlnio. : It Is recognized that the hoys nt (he front are doing nil right and thore will soon he muny moro of thorn and they must be taken care nf right up to (lie, dot, and the folks at homo are the ones to do It. Locally, It Is going to be u hard pull for many of the wheat raisers, but they can ot course bo relied up on to do the best that Is possible. If tho draft ages aro raised, which scorns In bo n forcgono conclusion, there Is n prospect of still further depletion of available farm help. ' Hut at all haxnrds it Is the pru dent thing to hare a big surplus stock of wheat on ' hand. There was a good output last year, but 11 has been drawn upon to the limit. The output is good this your, nlso, but the demands are heavy. There Is some expertiinry that shipping facilities will be released so that the Australian and Argentine sup plies will be available. This might . not turn out as expected, and the . very best thing to do Is to l.u oh solutely on the safe side, by put ting In the largest nrreago p.irsibl;, I It will probably require good) Why not draft nil tho "free speech" nnny of tho sixty-year olds to help ! advocates to drlvo army mutes? do it, and ninny who are entirely proposyiO" " Ingicil qiieuc3 would ' be to say that i contest 'i.ny continue qulto n wulle after 'he defeat -iif ono side 3 the odmr.

"Oh, dear I" she thought remorse fully. "I'erhaps the poor man has a largo family and perhaps a nickel a day Is ull he can afford to feed Ihera with. I suppose I reully ought to re turn It to him.
