A Food Shortage Threatens Nation The manufacturers Record, in an analysis of the food situation, suggests the following: The estimated decrease of 248,000,000 bushes of winter wheat as compared with last year, due. to a decrease of 12,000,000 acres in the amount seeded and to an extremely low average condition of the plant, is one of the most alarming food situations which this country has ever faced. It is alarming not simply because this great decrease in the wheat crop means a very high price for flour, but because the decrease in n-heat acreage is merely indicative of the general decrease in the acreage of other crops. The American people have not yet awakened to a realization of what the agricultural decline means. The farms have been drained by the cities until the production of sufficient food to meet our actual necessities is so much endangered that it is altogether probable that the food prices of today will, twelve months hence, seem to be very cheap. There is a shortage in wheat; there is also a big shortage in rye, and likely to be a shortage in the acreage devoted to grain and other crops. It is not in the power of the farmers to change the situation. With the utmost stretch of their activity, and working from dawn till darkness, they cannot produce food enough to meet the nation's needs. There is no earthly reason w?hy a farmer should be expected to work longer hours than fax industrial worker, but the railroad employes and industrial workers are insisting upon an eight-hour day. If the farmers and the farm

laborers followed this example, the cost of all foodstuffs would almost double in price overnight. Every hour cut off from the industrial workers' daj', with its accompanying demand for an increase in pay, only serves to intensify the food situation by driving farm laborers away from the country to the city, and causes a steady decrease in food production. The industrial

workers and all others who are striving for shorter hours, increased pay and less efficiency in production are merely serving to bring about a condition which will mean a cost of living far beyond anything which this country has ever known. We are face to face with a farm situation which has in it the menace of a real food famine. Blind, indeed, are the men who do not recognize these dangers. A food famine would mean socialistic and anarchistic and bolshevistic unrest, because the public does not understand the cause of

these high prices, and does not recognize that the rate of city growth is enormously increasing the number of food consumers at the expense of the number of food producers.' But it is not merely in the shortage of our own food production in which danger is to be found. This condition is world-wide. The official report of the United States department of agriculture of April 17 publishes a statement from the United States trade commissioner at London, in which it is said : "All indications point to a world-wide shortage of wheat during 1920, and a worldwide increase in the demand."

The details given in this report show that England will be forced to depend, to a very large extent, upon America for its wheat. There is nothing new in this, however, though it serves to emphasize the seriousness of the wheat shortage, of the danger of prices of food which will stagger the nation this fall, and, perchance, for several years to come. Unless the people are made fully acquainted with these facts they will not be able to understand the situation, and, therefore, will turn to socialistic and anarchistic agitators. It becomes the duty of every teacher, preacher and business man ; every newspaper, and every other influence which can enlighten the country as to the facts in regard to world-wide food shortage, and especially to emphasize the danger of a food famine in this country. It is also incumbent upon every intelligent man and woman to

do their utmost to stem the rush of population I

from the country to the city, and encourage every effort which will conduce to the larger development of the agricultural interests of America. Produce more foodstuffs, and keep on producing more, is a doctrine which should be taught from every platform, in every office, and through every newspaper in the land, for, at the best, it will be impossible to so increase the acreage in foodstuffs this year as to meet our actual necessities. The best we can do is to ameliorate the condition by encouraging to the utmost the agricultural output of the country.

Answers to Questions

i G. K. Who were the Helvettl? A powerful Celtic people, who dwelt In what is now the west of Switzerland. Their chief town wa Aventicum. About 58 B. C. they resolved, on the advice of Orgetorix, one of their chiefs, to migrate from their country ith their wives and children, and to seek a new home in Gaul. They were, however, defeated by Caesar, and driven back to their own country, which became henceforth a Roman colony. In the commotions following the death of Nero, they were almost extirpated. J. C. What does Aleutian mean? A derivation of the Russian word aleaut, meaning "bald rock," later appearing in the name applied to the river Olutora on the coast of Kamatchka, the people near the mouth of the stream being called Olutorsky. The Russians when first viewing the Alaskan natives applied the term Olutorsky. The initial O of the Russian invariably broadens into a sound almost equivalent to "a" in father, accounting for the transition from Olutorsky to Aleutsky and then to Aleutian. The islands in the Pacific ocean derive their name from this source. Readers may obtain annirera to question by Trrltlaa; the Palladium Hneatloa and Answer Department. Questions should be Yrrttteo plainly and briefly. Answers will be trlvea briefly.

In an address to his troops an offi

cer of a Midland yeomanry regiment made a stirring allusion to the medal which were worn by several army veterans in the ranks. One of the yeomen went home In a very thoughtful frame of mind, and next day came on parade with three silver medals pinned on his' manly chest. Seeing them glittering in the sunshine, the officer approached the man. I did not know you had been in the wars," he said. 'No. I ain't," was the reply. "Well, how about the medals?" The yeoman eyed his superior of

ficer contemptuously and then replied: "Can't they? Aye, but they be! My old cow won 'em all at cattle shows!"
