Washington. Aug. 1. The produc
tion of over one billion bushels of
wheat and over 8J. 000, 000 bushels of
rye. through the planting of I7.J17.O0O
acres to winter wheat and of 6.111.000
acres to rye this fall, Is th Immedi
ate war agricultural program for the
nation announced by David F. Houston,
aecretary of agriculture.
This record winter wheat acreage,
an Increase of It per cent over last
year, would yield 72.000.00 bushels
If the average yield for the past 10
years Is equaled, or under a repetition
of the favorable conditions of 1J14.
would give 810.000.000 bushels. In
either case, with a spring wheat crop
next year equal to that of 115. the na
tion win have morj than one billion
bushels of wheat for domestic use and
export.

wbeat, needed in any case, will be ab
aolotely essential to prevent t eerious
ahortage of breadstuf fa next summer
should the growing corn, now behind

The program approved by Secretary
Houston represents the best thought

In explaining to Senator Chamberlain
why new plants for the manufacture
of aircraft on the Pacific cannot be
encouraged, Howard K. Coffin, chair
man of the aircraft production board,
saya It is a question of motors.
The Joint army and navy technical
board has approved only two types
of motors and the full production of
motors for six months ahead will
only keep pace with the planes al
ready contracted. Plana for new air
craft plants should be held In abey
ance, Mr. Coffin advises, until the
supply of motors can be augmented,
or until the technical board can de
cide upon the adoption of European
types of motors for American use.
There are four aircraft factories on
the Paclflo coast. Mr. Coffin states.
The industrial bureau of the Eugene

ernment considers that there Is room

Conditions Are Reviewed
"The disturbance to the world's
commerce and short supply has caused
a greater disruption of the normal
markets for wheat thaa any other
cereal. As a result of the isolation
of certain of the world's wheat pro
ducing countries by either belligerent
lines or short shipping, the normal de
termination of the price of wheat by
he ebb and flow of commerce Is to
tally destroyed.
"In order to control speculation and
to secure more equitable distribution
cf the available wbeat and flour be
tween their countries, the allied gov
ernments have plaoed the whole pur
chase of their supplies la the hsnds
of one buyer. Also the European neu
trals are now buying their wheat
through single government agents la
stead of In the normal course of com
merce. Therefore, the export pries of
wheat and flour and thus the real
price, lf not controlled will be sub
ject to almost a single will of the for
eign purchaser.

"In normal times American wheat
moves largely to Europe in the fall
montns. . This year- the shortage of
spring necessitates Itg distribution
cost in distribution.
Cheaper Bread Zs Important
Mr. Hoover makes the concluding re
flection that it must be evident to
all thinking persons that unless the
price of wheat flour and bread can
be reduced materially, the country can
not expect to maintain the present
wage scale and that It must lose effi
ciency at a time it can not afford such
a sacrifice.
