HOUSTON APPEALS TO
NATION FOR BIG CROPS
Intensive Cultivation Greatest Aid
Farmers Can Render Country.
Washington. Secretary Houston
again appealed to tlie country to make
every effort to raise adequate food
crops this year not only for the United
States' needs, but to meet the require
ments of the entente.
"The importance to the nation of a
generous food supply for the coming
year cannot be overemphasized in view
of the economic problems which may
arise as a result of the entrance of the)
United States into the war," said tbe
secretary. "Every effort should b
made to produce more crops than are.
needed for our own requirements.
"Many millions of people serosa the
seas as well as our own people must
rely in large part upon the products of
our fields and ranges. This situation
will continue to exist eveu though hos
tilities should end unexpectedly soon
since European production cannot be re
stored immediately to its normal basis. I
"It is obvious that the greatest and
most important sen-Ice that is required
of our agriculture under existing con-'
dltions Is an enlarged production of tbe
staple food crops. Because of the short
age of such crops practically through
out the world there la no risk In th
near future of excessive production,
such as sometimes bas resulted in unr.
muneratlve prices to producers. This)
Is particularly true of the cereals and
of peas, beans, cowpeas, aoy beans and
buckwheat"
