produced. Now, if the estimates of the government hold
true we will raise but 3 8 bushels for each person. Our
consumption is considerably over that although it has drop

A relaxation of government reduction requirements is
expected for next year and the secretary of agriculture has
already stated that crop* abandonment will not be increased.
With nature preforming so sweeping a job of reducing
the crop the best thing that could happen to wheat growers
would be something to increase ti e consumption of wheat
before it falls much farther.

So much ha been said and done since the waterfront
strike started in Portland that the results of the struggle
will not be settled for years to come The present fighting
will end, of course, and some sort of a settlement will be
efiected, but one side or the other will still feel unfairly
treated. Strikes must be brought to an end by some power
in which both sides have confidence. As that power does
not seem to exist, it should be developed.
