CHINESE LIKEE WHEAT, LESS RICE
How the sale of 15,000,000 bushels of Grain Stabiliza
tion corporation wheat has made possible the building of
a vast system of dykes and levees in the Yangtze valley for
protection against floods and at the same time opened a
substantial new market for American wheat by converting
more than 2,000,000 Chinese from rice eaters to wheat
consumers, sounds good to the farmer.
The wheat and flour were apportioned out systematic
ally. Laborers were put to work building and repairing
levees and dykes in the Yangtze valley flood region and
were paid with wheat or flour.
It is said that the Chinese have learned they can do more
work over a longer period of time on less wheat than on
larger quantities of rice. The summation of it all is that the
grain corporation has established a market in China for
wheat which has enormous potentialities for the outlet of
American grain.

We realize our obligation to the public, and realize too,
that our Sunshine milk must be as clean and pure as mod
em science can make it.
NO HIGHWAY SURPLUS
As an outlet for surplus labor, highways offer the best
opportunity inasmuch as they are about the only thing that
can be produced without glutting the market, according
to the president of the American Association of State
Highway Officials.
Some 5,000,000 American farmers are still situated on
roads that become impassable in winter, preventing them
from marketing their goods at the most advantageous
time, from sending their children to school, from receiving
quick medical attention when needed, from keeping social
contacts and from enioying good roads.
The expenditure of a road dollar serves a double pur-
pose, in tnat it puts money in circulation while actually
something we need, and so is not to be confused
with “relief” appropriations that put money into circula
tion but do little permanent good. Placing a man tp work
on a road means that we provide another one with work
somewhere else supplying materials.
It is said that the country could build a hundred thous
and miles of good roads now and make use of every mile.
It’s harder for money to change hands after getting into
