Ways to increase fill luowlng of wheat and rye In Washingon. Oregon. Cal ifornia, Idaho. Montana, Nevada, I tah. nd North Iakota, were dis cUHAed at a meeting f representatives from these states in Spokane, Wash ington. August 27th and 2 nth. The meeting was railed by Secretary of Agriculture D. F Houston, and was ihe fifth meeting "f the kind to be held In the L'nlted States, the purpose tf all the meetings being to increase i he fall sown acreage of wheat and rye. A bout 'to million bushels of these cere;il will be needed by the Kuropcin allies of the l'nlted Mates next year. I re'' n t at the Spokane meeting were farmers, grunne and farmers' union leaders, bankers, agricultural experiment station and extensive service directors, college presidents, millers, grain buyers, exporters and Mate and federal crop specialists. They were informed by Assistant Secretary It. A. I'earson. who pre sided at the meeting, that this year's production of wheat In the T'nited States will be approximately 650 mil Don bushels, a production scarcely .-xoeeding the normal requirements of the United States alone. Rye eould supplement wheat in Ameri ca's war exports to tier overwas al lies, since the people of these coun tries had learned to use rye. ("alifnrnla, Professor J. W. Gilmore of the University of California being the representative of that state, pro poned to increase fall sowings of wheat by decreasing the barley acre age by about ten per cent. Replac ing ten per cent of California's bar ley acreage with wheat would am ount to a 30 per cent Increase in wheat, on account of the relation of these two crops in that state. Alfalfa fields under a 75 per cent stand were to be plowed under and sown to wheat; dry land was to be put under Irrigation with emergency wa ter rates, and sown to wheat; land formerly In wheat, but now gone back to pasture was to be reclaimed for wheat. California proposed also to Increase wheat production through better cultural methods in the grow ing of that cereal. Winter-killing of fall-sown wheat of 1916, a spring unfavorable to re Heeding the winter-killed areas, and unusual drought in large wheat zones of the west had in many of these re gions reduced farmers to such straits that they would need financial help beyond the limits of good banking loans in order to put in another crop. To extend these farmers the need ed help for another year, government aid was suggested, bat was not gen erally approved. Albert S. Roberts, . i. Oi t '--.

Regional scarcity of seed wheat and rye was reported in various states; though, as it developed, the seed problem was mainly a matter of locating the seed and making it available when and where needed. Director W. S. Thornber, of the Wellington State College extension I service, stated that the college had undertaken to locate good stocks of j seed, both wheat and rye, and have j them reserved from shipment or milling until the crops were in. A . state seed committee, appointed by Director Thornber at the request of . Director A. C. True of the States Re- j lations Service, would help in locat- ing seed, holding it back from export j or milling, and in putting those whu ; needed seed in touch with those wh.i j had seed for sale. Director True's ! request had been for such seed com- i mlttees to be appointed in all the ; states, and it was urged that exten- sion directors at once form these committees so that they could act in ' time to help in the fall seeding. 1 Crop failures due fn part to faulty farming following the anxiety of far- mers In all the states to respond to the national call for large crop acre- i age and production led to a discus sion of the extent to which farmer. were Justified in departing from cus tomary methods of farming on the chance of getting larger yields President W. J. Kerr of the Ore gon Agricultural College, believed that farmers should depart from their regular practices just as little as pos sible, assuming that they had already determined what the best practice. were. indulge in reckless farming on the chance of larger yields. To increase the permanence as well as productivity of western farming, the Introduction of more livestock on the grain farms was suggested. Also Inter-wheat crops of peas and beans where rain permitted cropping every year, the use of clover in short ra tions between wheat, and good till age, were recommended. 2 3 ! s SOLID COMFORT Standing, Sitting or Lying Down When you stop to think that you spent between five and six thousand hours every year in your corset, you must realize how important it is that you have a perfectly comfortable corset.
