Congressman Kahn Says Women Will
Have Something to Say
"American mothers will not send
their boys to fight for F'rance while
French mothers will not rear boy» to
defend their own country."
Thia was the answer of Represen

on him their desire for a special
treaty w hereby thia country and Great
Britain would go to the rescue of
France in the event of a German at
tack. Ho went on:
”1 have told there gentlemen that
in my opinion the United States
rhould not enter into such an agree
ment; that it had not entered intn an
agreement for offensive and defen
sive alliance with any other foreign
country since the adoption of our con
stitution in 1789.
“I called to their attention that
while traveling through France we
saw few children. On the other hand
white traveling through the occupied
territory in Germany we had to cau
tion our chauffeurs repeatedly to be
extremely careful to avoid running
over the large numbers of German
children.
"I said to them that the women of
America will have a greed deal to say
regarding this matter. They are now
voters of the United State«. 'Hu-
women will naturally say, ‘why should
I send my boy to defend the boundar-

CORN NOW MAIN
FOOD OF NATION
Washington, D. C.—Corn has sup
planted wheat as the principal food
supply of the United States, according
to a comprehensive review just com
pleted by the department of agricul
ture.
The vital importance of the corn
crop and its relation to American pros
perity has been made the subject of
an intensive study by the depart
ment's expens, and the findings put
in the 1921 yearbook, just published,
which in a graphic survey presents
the story of corn in all its details.
Corn is produced by nearly 5.000,009
of the approximately 6.500,000 farms
in the United States. Nearly 100,000,-
000 acres of farm land is devoted to
the production of this single crop,
whlcti, in recent years, has reached
more than 9.000,000.000 bushels. The
value of the crop during the war
reached more than >3,009,000,000 or
one-eighth of the present national debt
The 1920 crop, the largest ever pro
duced. had a value of >2,150,000,000;
the 1921 crop, >1,303,000.000.
Forty per cent of the total American
corn crop is fed to swine on farms.
20 per cent is fed to horses and mules
on farms. Only 10 per cent is used
directly for human food, but 85 per
cent is used through the consumption
of meat and meat products.
