THESE WILL BE A SHORTAGE OF WHEAT
i i Yes, there will be a shortage of wheat ; the United States will
; .iecorae a wheat importing country "
; When? -iJ',;,,.:'-.....r.;- -
i In discussing the relation of population growth and land
rr apply to the future foreign tradepolicy of the United States,
' Dr.L. C. Gray, land economist of the United States Department
! cf Agriculture, said a few days ago : j ,
j! J "The present agricultural depression is a' mere episode
'; in the general trend toward economic scarcity of land
available : f orv agriculture and forests, caused by the in
jj; . creasing population. "Whereas it now appears that we
1 1 : have an unwieldy slirplua of farm products which we are
S compelled to sell on the world's bargain counter, within
A few decades the export surplus of the United States will
have largely disappeared and we shall find ourselves sob-'
jected to the decreasing dependence upon foreign sources
In Kntmort of this theory Dr. Gray pointed out that the total
i ' m . tT "a a aN M. A.
crop acreage, m ine tinned mates per eapita uwicasiug
was less in 1922 than it was, in 1900, and thatthe acreage of
i nineteen..pnnhpal crops was nearly 2 per cent less in lya tnan
in 1919,, in spite' of the continued increase in population. TTie
large increase In bur surplus f op export,' he said, has been made
possible, by the decreased crop land used for production of live
stock, particularly beef cattle and horses. The expert also finds
that the yield per acre of land and crops has not increased dur
ing the past two decades. Dr. Gray also declared that there has
been a; tendency recently to focus the explanation of the sudden
decrease in the prices of cereals on the large American export
surplus. . To refute this theory, he advances the fact that bread
cereals for the world's market and the world's supply. these
cereals- has not been materially larger the last' two years of
price depressi6n as it was in tint five years preceding the war.
He also declared that the supply of bread cereaU available for
consumption in the principal countries of western Europe has
been smaller during the last two years than -it was before the
war, in spite of the large increase in exports from the United
States; Canada and the southern hemisphere. In conceding,
Dr. Gray said: 4 ; ' . -.A:''i- - ', : 'i .
' ' Considering the quality and location of pur undeveloped
lands, ahd'making due allowances to probable changes con
sumption and in methods of production, we shall not be able to
expand our grain production sufficiently to maintain our lpu
ktion a few decades from now in the face of the competition of
the large Canadian surplus of cereals unless protection shall be
afforded to our producers. In a comparatively short period we
IikU be forced to make the choice that confronted England in
the nliddle of the last century which resulted in the repeal of
laws restricting the importation of cereals. ' , ,
When will this come about! "In a comparatively short
time, I aays Dr. Gray ' , ! , '
And it will come about in amuch shorter time than the pres
ent creeping up of the comparative population on' the supply
of land, available for4 wheat growing would bring it about, if
tbere-may be some legitimate nd conservative forcing
If the United SUtes shall be brought to produce all of its
owtiI lax and flax manufactures and by-products; the same as
to htrap; all its own wool and mutton; all its own sugar; all its
'own potato flour and starch and dextrine; all its own crude
dru-s and a thousand and one other things for which we now
j'elyMn whole or in part upon foreign-countries i.
Keeping at home hundreds of. millions of dollars a year; em
ploying millions of additional laborers; stimulating growth and
prosperity directly and indirectly in innumerable ,ways. Any
reader can think of many ways; for instance, more laborers
car loyed on the , land and in the industries will; mean more
merchants,' doctors, lawyers,- teachers, preachers, and so on
through , a long list. ' 1 : "'' ' --
Take one item that will be well understood in 'Salem. Take
the poultry industry.- That 'industry is growing in the Salem
district by leaps and bounds. One breeder in this district is
installing an incubator that is costing $7000; two others near
Salem are about to install incubators of great capacity, and these
are merely oustanding instances of a .development that is taking
place all over this district one that will Roon increase the poul
tryOndustry here four fold; ten fold; a hundred fold; It guen
a development should take place all over the country,- even
though in proportionately much smaller way in other sec
tions, this a'lone would go a long way towards taking care of
the. wheat surplus. - . "' v'. : - -; " : -
-When the United States becomes a self sustained country,
there will be no wheat surplus; there will be a wheat shortage,
y A thorough reorganization and redirection of the "depart
ments of the government that ought naturally to function in this
respect, with no additional appropriations, but with present
funds diverted to ends sympathetic with a constructive program
of development, would in a very short time make the United
; States a self contained country.

The farmer swear it Is a fine

manages to get rid' of it and have
a more evenly matched team. . .
jn politics it is the same! way.
The hot-head rises, the desire" tq

many men. ' Those -worth while
curb themselves, while . the; ones'
who fret and foam continue to
find a world going awry. In tills

steady goers, the men worth while
in public life who. are trying to
invoke this weapon. , It is the hot
heads, the men ' who swore' reck
lessly as boys and have not gotten
over It; the men who fret in their
places making It ! all around un-
comfortable. This la a time when
men with steady nerves, men with
capacity to make values; are
needed as never before. -Irresponsible
peace disturbers and charac
terless newspaper's are doing their
best to make trouble. They" will
succeed unless sober, level headed
men take. the thing In hand and
set matters right. The irrespon-
sible men are not concerned for
tho public welfare; they pay very
little taxes, but they make a lot
of noise. This hour is one that de
mands sane and sensible men on
guard. ' '
BOK AND ADVERTISING
: When Edward Bok retired from
active journalistic life it waa sup
posed that his career was ended.
It was Just beginning. Since he
has been devoting himself to good
citizenship. ' His latest effort is
directed in a manner that will ap
peal to all f newspapers. He
wants to raise the tone of adver
tising. For years there has been
a demand for truth in advertising.
Business men know how essential
advertising is, and they want it
clean so that it can work its best.
A lying advertisement is worse
than none. It not only fails to
carry its point but it hurts all ad
vertising. The reputable merch
ants have been emphatic In de
manding truth In advertising. The
standard has been raised. But
it must go up -more. Advertising
has come Into Its own. but to do
its best work it must be above
suspicion Edward Bok is pro
posing a great advance step.
A NAUGHTY PROBLEM
Article 1 0 in the league of na
tions covenant is causing a world
of. trouble : and trouble to the
world. The Italians have, broken
down the league, but many sincere
men -are not willing to let it go
that way. They believe the
league has a place, and that it
ought to be, functioning. Here
stalks in the old bugaboo that
frightened America. There is just
one way to have the league func
tion' and that is to put teeth in it.
., ' There is just one set of teeth
that will work for the league and
that is military. There is just
one thing the old world respects
and that is the bayonet. Unless
the military power of the world is
put behind the league, it Is dead,
everlastingly dead.
The trouble ir the league $ is
organized wrongly. It is not self
propelling nor self-directing. It
responds to kind words but only
when there is a mailed fist back
of It, . ; ; ..:
Would the world court do any
better? We will leave it to you.
What would the policeman's club
be worth if the power Of the court
were not behind it? : It is not the
policeman who is feared; it is
what is back of him. The law is
all-powerful. -
LIVING ON CAPITAL
When a man dies his widow is
urged to nse whatever money he
left advisedly, and be certain not
to use any of the capital. By this
Is meant that the carnng power
of the money must not be lessened.
She is urged to undergo temporary
hardships rather than touch - her
capital, her gestegg. :
We are living on our capital in
Oregon. ; Whenever we cut down
a tree and make no effort to re
place it, we are living up our
capital stock and some day must
pay the penalty. The trees must
be cut; no sentimental .reason
must be permitted to stand In the
way of our lumber needs, but there
must also as a part of that cut
ting be provision for reforesta
tion. Whenever one tree Is cnt,
another must be planted. Unless
we do this we will be poverty
stricken, so far as forests are con
cerned, before the present gener
ation is gone. If we replant we
can go on forever. It Is so clear
ly our Interest"; to replant that
there should be no hesitation. I
THE CONSTITUTIONAL MEET-
. ING :
This evening there will be held
in this city a meeting sponsored
by every patriotic society in the
city. There will be just one sub
ject discussed, but that is so vital
to this very life of onr nation to
our happiness as individuals, that
it should challenge marked at
tention. V , . f
This is Constitution week. The
main idea is to have (the Inspir
ation or that great document win
its way anew into our hearts, but
the secondary purpose ; and really
the underlying one is to Inspire a
determination for . the enforce
ment of law. It is a fact that we
are becoming skeptical of law en
forcement. We need a revival, a
re-baptism. f '' ; C
- Salem Is no worse, nor better,
than any other part of the country
but It 13 Just as careless as any
of them, and our carelessness In
law enforcements Is a sin. The
meeting this evening should be an
overflow one. We need the re
hapti&m. :' - -

At a tremendous cost France has
won in the Ruhr. It would be
right glad to find some way to get

most peculiar course since the
war. At first it was attributed to

mortal fear of Germany, but grad
ually the sordid i part has been
showing. France wants to domin
ate the world. It went Into the
Ruhr and lost heavily. It did not
get coal. Then in its dealing with
Poland France, has shown an un
clean hand. It has. financed Po
land while if failed to even pay
the interest on the money we sent
over there to save the life of the
nation, j France wants to build up
Poland in order to have an ally
that can be relied upon to stand
for the ambitions of the French
statesmen. "v '
In the history of the world no
natfon has ever gone blundering
ly along the way France has done.
It is a great pity,! because France
won the admiration of the world
when it was fighting, wits its
back to the wall.
A GOOD PROVIDER
: It sounded like a voice from the
past when a Salem woman de
fended her husband by declaring
that he was a "good provider."
How much that 'phrase was used
in the good old days of our dad
dies. A man was then judged al
most entirely by his ability to pro
vide for his family. That was the
outstanding test; all others were
back of it and didn't matter much!
Pa, as he was then, might be
crusty and ill-natured; .he might,
upon occasion, whip his children
just to keep in practice and to
keep his authority intact, but if
he provided well, all was forgiven.
If asked if her daughter married
well, the first reply was that he
was a good provider. Now, an
hundred other things enter
in, but we sometimes wonder
if the test is any fairer than the
old one based on provisions.

WHAT MADGE WAS ABLE TO
: ARRANGE . ;
Dicky's cocksure ; belief that
Claire Foster : would consent s to
pose for him irritated me, all the
more because I secretly was con
vinced of the , fact that 4vhe was
justified In his assertion. That
many girls were wild to act as
the models for his magazine cover
illustrations I. had known ever
since my marriage, and the fact
had been brought forcibly to mc
by Bess Dean's1 behavior when I
had last seen her.
With the queer twist which the
feminine mind sometimes assumes,
I found myself actually sym
pathizing with Grace Draper, be
cause of Dicky's decision that on
account of her profile resem
blance to Grace he -must have
Claire Foster's younger, fresher
face for his drawings. I had seen
the humiliation that had accom
panied the suspicion of the truth
which she had betrayed at the
inn, 'and I wondered what ber re
action would be to the proposal
concerning Claire Foster, which I
knew Dicky meant to broach at
the little dinner 'he had planned.
He had asked me to "manage"
things for him. but one task ap-
palled me. Dr. Petit, of course,
must 'be included in the dinner
invitation; for we only knew
Claire Foster through., him. But
had Dicky forgotten that the physician-
knew! Grace Draper and
her history? And he knew things
which Dicky did not, or which 1
hoped be did not, notably that
long-ago attempt of Grace Drap
er's to take my life. I feared
that he would absolutely refuse
to come tothe dinner, and use
his influence to keep Miss Foster
away if he knew who was to be
the other guest. x '

that. .. -.'; :V : -
The mental processes of my
irritated reflection $ and decision
occupied in reality but a few sec
onds, and I was able to reply to
Dicky's' question in time to pre
vent his being suspicious that I
was reluctant to arrange things
for. him. :
"Don't worry, I feex," I quoted
Katie11 banteringly. and Dicky
heaved an immense sigh of relief.
You're the goods, old girl, I'll
tell the world!" he said extrava
gantly, and the slangy commenda
tion , heartened me wonderfully
for the unpleasant task before me.
"I'll .have to telephone Dr.
Pettlt in order to get Miss Fos
ter's 'address,'. I said, -"so we'll
just drive to the nearest tele
phone, .'ll see if I can't reach
her by telephone, then I can make
the arrangements for the dinner
with" the proprietor without mak
ing another trip out here." ;
; "Manage it any way you like,"
Dicky answered promptly. ."I'll
be the meekest man in the uni
verse, and follow you around like
a ; well-trained bull terrier i!
you'll puir this off for me."
Acceptances,"
"Better not make any rash
promises," I countered. "You
may: have to lie down, roll over
and Jplay dead before I'm through
with you."
"I've doing, nothing else, old
dear, since I married you," he
retorted, as I drew up in front of
a drug store." "It's my best spe
cialty." ., ;,:.-- "
I made a merry moue at him
as I entered the drug store, but
my ; spirits were " anything but
light. Dr. Pettit, however, -when
I finally got in telephone connec
tion with him was unusually
gracious, gave me Miss Foster's
telephone address readily,' and
promised to come to the dinner
if her plans could be arranged to
permit it. .There was -an em
barrassed but somewhat proprie
tary air about his mention of her
name which caused me to won
der if there was 'an understanding
between them. ; r 1
Miss Foster, over the telephone,
was her usual extravagantly en
thusiastic self, j "
'";"Oh,f I'd love; to come! she
said. "It's mighty sweet of you
to ask me." And I hung up the
telephone -with the feeling that
she was sincerely glad of the in
vitation. : '
"Everything Is all right, your
majesty," I said, as I came out
of the drug store. "But now It's
your turn. You interview this
hotel proprietor ? and order the
dinner. I haven't eaten a restau
rant dinner of your ordering for
quite a time, an,d I'd like the ex
perience. I don't want to know
a thing about it until I sit down
at the table."
I know that there is nothing in
the world Dicky likes to do. so
much as to order a dinner, and I
was not surprised at his enthui
astic response: f
"That's my other name!" he
said; "Just curl up now and go
to sleep. I'll attend to things."

C. E. Kpence, Market Agent, 723
Court House, Portland
Farmers are slowly awakening
to the necessity of getting hold of
production , and controlling it, if
agriculture is to hold its place In
industry. They are realizing that
they must Invade the resell field,
eliminate middle nrofits. mini-
,ze wagte, stop speculation, sta
bilize prices' and end individual
competition. They 'know they
must control one commodity in
4ne organization and that they
must distribute that commodity
through the entire season only, in
J such quantities; as consumption
demands.
When through various associa
tions farmers can bring about
these conditions, agriculture will
be stable and the whole state will
benefit. In an agricultural state
farmers must prosper If the busi
nesss interests are to thrive.
They : must be : able to sell their
products at fair profits, and in
order to have normal demand, re
tall prices must be low enough
that consumers' will buy readily.
: Consumers and-producers hare
the middle field : to reform to
bring about ; these conditions'.
Joint action can work out plans
to eliminate the great spread in

And there must be this coope

Farmers may go ahead with their
associations and be able to force
higher prices on the farm, but
unless the present middle handl
ing conditions are also corrected,
this will . mean higher prices! to
consumers, and then we will have
as bad a condition as now to
solve. ' . '
Whether Be wants to or not,
the consumer must sooner or
later concern' himself with the
middle marketing of food pro

Snoppyquops most always have funny noses.
This one's snoot is a flute. His name is Woodrow

What's that you say? Two of the "children" have

you're a Snoppyquop -even a flute nose.
Woodrow tried? "The Spring Song" once, but
caught the flu, and had to wedr his flute ina sling

The Pittsburgh Avenue School
was in the foreign part of our
town. Almost all the pupils were
little . Italians, and all of them
were very musical. To their great
delight, the third grade - teacher
organized an orchestra, known as
the Pittsburgh Avenue Symphony.
Every pupil in the grade was in
it. y:: - -J- - : ;..
: The greatest number of the
scholars played furlpusly away on
combs, but there- were also quite
a few cardboard artists. : If you
have never heard 'the music ob

And likewise, the retailer must
sooner or later interest himself
in these matters, in fact he
should now take an active part in
shortening 'the road that brings
in, his products, and cooperate
with producers and consumers to
get them as directly from the
farm as is possible. It be could
lower his prices he would sell
more, the farmer would raise
more. ;- - '
Iu "the, middle; west states,
heads" of cooperative movement
are taking up the matter of the
middle spread with both-producers
and consumers and are plan
ning means to get products di
rect from the farmers central
selling agency to the retail stores.
Consumers organizations are
working through the retailers' to
this "end and the producers are
also helping the retailers to the
short cut. across. In one section
of Iowa, associations' of retailers,
workers and" farmers have estab
lished a joint auto truck service
that! takes products direct from
the farmers' warehouses and dis
tributes them to the city retail
era daily; thus entirely eliminat
ing all other middle handling and
between profits.
The' best brains of our country
are studying the. farmers and
consumers' marketing problems
and planning to take the matter
out of the hands of the jobber,
commission houses, wholesalers
and other middle interests that
these added expenses may be di
vided .' between the farmer in
higher prices at his end and yet
go to the producer at lower than
present costs.. Slowly these prob
lems will be worked out.

queer part about this orchestra
was that the music they made
wasn't so bad after all. ,
Of course when MrJ Green, tho

his home town there were all
kinds of celebrations. His lawyer
hinted that Mr. Green was con

money to the town for public im

town to show him that they were
worthy.
The town band met him at the
