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,

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
