Farmers of Country Asked to Increase
Acreage to Be Planted to Wheat
By R. A. PEARSON. Assistant Secretary of U. S. Department of Afnculturs
. ■ ■■■ 1 ■ 1 ... _ss
The department of agriculture at Washington endeavors to keep ii
close touch with the agricultural situation throughout our entire country
and with the agricultural and food situations in the countries of the
allies. On the basis of the information we have of foreign affairs, foot
and agriculture it seems necessary to ask the farmers of this country tc
increase the acreage to be planted to wheat this fall at least 7 per cent
over the acreage planted last fall. The situation "l each state has been
studied and an effort made to distribute the burden of extra wheat pro
duction as equitably as possible. Besides the increase of acreage it if
earnestly hoped—indeed, it is confidently expected—that the best pos
sible seed and cultural methods will be used to insure as great a yield as
will he possible under conditions to he confronted.
In sonic sections of®our country farmers have been unfortunately
handicapped by weather conditions over which they have no control, but,
to the praise of most of them, it can be said that they have started again
with new courage to secure a better crop the following year. Such men
may fairly be compared with the young American soldier, who, only
a few days ago after several difficult and dangerous setbacks, brought
his wounded comrade to friends and safety. Such farmers can be com
pared with whole companies of American soldiers who recently have been
advancing steadily over ground held by the obstinate enemy and his
deadly guns. It is this spirit that actuates those who believe that “food
will win the war,” and who serve accordingly.
It was stated in the foregoing that the burden of producing wheat
is being distributed. It would he better to say the privilege, because
everyone who raises wheat at this time is contributing directly to the
great task of feeding the world which we have undertaken.
When peace comes, there should be no lessening of effort. The world
will he short of food for several years, and upon America will rest largely
the responsibility for feeding many of the peoples of earth.
