Handling of an Enormous Crop. Aside from tho cnui'Ky and jihy.iiral and mechanical force Unit in iicmIciJ to grow and hurvest an enormous crop the distribution In ulnu a great prob lem. With a wheat crop of over i billion bushels In pnmpect in the Unit ed States thitt hcukoii the greatest crop tho country has ever produced the need for efforts by farmers and elevutor companies to market and ntore the grain with the least possible loss and congestion of traffic is im pressed by the bureau of markets of the United States department of agri culture. In calling attention to this great marketing problem Ut depart ment says that every t possible meas ure should be taken to insure the safe storage and handling of this enormou crop. Last year, with n crop of about 000, 000,000 bushel, tho ru.sbing of the grain to market immediately after harvest caused n congestion all tho way from the terminal markets to the farm. Tbd'wbeat "backed ufi" lifter tho terminal elevators were full and congested tho railroads and all coun try elevators. The result was that embargoes were placed on further shipments until tho terminals could bo cleared. Fortunately, the winter was an open one, or the loss due to lack of proper storage would lmv been heavy. On May 2 'f last year women and children in an orphanage in Pario were killed by shells from Germany's famous long range gun. A year ago today a resumption or the German drive was heralded by u frightful artillery bombardment alunj; tho whole length of the western front. A year ago today a small number of American Boldiers near Vil!er Urctonneaux withstood the shock of a massed attack by crack German regi meats. A year ago today the military re ser.ves of the allies were diminishing so rapidly that it seemed impoi-Hibl'; for enough American soldiers to be rushed to Franco in order to stem th tide of German invasion or to give even n chance for an allied victory during I'M 8. It will soon be six months since fighting stopped on the western front, All those persons who can afford to subscribe to bonds of the Victory loan, and who fail or refuse to do so, are shirking their plain duty of help ing to finance the victory of America and the allies.
