The United States Department of Agriculture, in its official report, announces the condition of the fall wheat crop (which is twoâ€"thirds of their total wheat crop) on April 1st, 1917, to be the poorest ever recorded and predicts a yield of 244,000,000 bushels below the crop of 1915.. The 1916 crop was poor. Even with favorable weather, the wheat crop of the United States is likely to be the smallest in thirtyâ€"five years, not more than 64% of the normal crop. David Lubin, representative of the United States to the International Institute of Agricultureâ€"maintained _ by forty Governmentsâ€"reports officially to Washington that the food grains of the world on March 31st, 1917, showed a shortage of 150,000,000 bushels below the amount necessary to feed the world until August, 1917. _ He declares it is beyond question that unless a greater acreage is put to crop in 1917 there will be WORLDâ€"HUNGER before the 1918 crop is harvested. “ Worldâ€"Hunger Stares Us in théfi Face Forty million men, less the casualties, are now on active service. § Twenty million men and women are supporting them by service in other war activities. In the last analysis, the land is bearing this burden. One million tons of foodâ€"carrying ships have been torpedoed since February 1st, 1917. h Germany‘s hope for victory is in the starvation of Britain through the submarine. Canada‘s sons will have died in vain if hunger compels the Motherland‘s surrender. The land is waitingâ€"the plough is readyâ€"will we make the plough mightier than the sword? Will we help the acres to save the flag? Bread has gone to 28¢ per fourâ€"pound loaf in Engâ€" land, for the first time since the Crimean War. Lord Devonport, British Food Comptroller, proâ€" poses taking authority to search the houses of Great Britain to prevent food hoarding. _ Everyone in Great Britain has been put on limited rations: meat is prohiwWited one day a week and the making of cakes and pastry has been stopped. Further restrictions are anticipated. France, England and Italy in peace times did not depend upon America but on Russia, Roumania and Bulgaria for most of their breadstuffs. _ With these sources closed the crisis of the hour demands that we see that our soldiers and the Motherland are fed. sn /..‘r\ megaroe oR ’(.?;'\"‘ ‘ rogry yems cyseg .. mm s & o 2 x Etd un um 3 C fcâ€"a eritd) ol y x ; romesott «y e f x tw §A s 7 xX Nx Bs e e 3 1 Db 4 °CC 4# o) pra Pws) $ J ®.

Acquit yourselves like men. As workers on the land, do your duty with all your strength!" â€"Lloyd George. 66 â€"New York Evening Mail Hunger Tightening His Grip THE TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2ND, 1917 Therefore, every ton of food stuffs grown in Canada is worth to the Motherland two tons grown in India or four tons grown in Australia. y k If this country does not raise a big crop this year, not only ill the people of Canada suffer but the Motherland and her Allies will suffer and their military power will be weakened if not paralyzed. Therefore, the right solution of the present war problem comes back to the farm, as to a foundation upon which our whole national and international structuwre must be built and maintained. One vessel can make twice as many trips from Canada to Britain as from India, and four times as many as from Australia. " Why the Call to Canada is So Urgent It is much easier to protect shipping between Canada and . England than on the longer voyages from India or Australia. Cwing to destruction by submarines, ocean ships are scarce. Miss Alexandra Smith, one of the thousands of British women workers on the land. She recently won an Allâ€"Comers‘ Chamâ€" pion prize for plowing. Consider how much LESS Ontario produced in 1916 than she raised in 1915 : $ Mr. Hoover is already urging sacrifice and food restricâ€" tions, for, as he states, "The war will probably last another year and we shall have all we can do to supply the necessary food tc carry our Allies through with their full fighting stamina." People are starving toâ€"day in Belgium, in Serbia, in Poland, in Armenia, in many quarters of the globe. Famine conditions are becoming more wideâ€"spread every On these alarming food conditions becoming known, President Wilson immediately appointed a Food Comptroller for the United States. He selected Herbert C. Hoover, to whom the world is indebted as Chairman of the International Belgium Relief Commission for his personal direction of the distribution of food among the starving Belgians. “ The Problem for Ontario The land under cultivation in Ontario in . 1916 ,was 365,000 acres less than in 191 5. day. Mangelâ€"Wurzels 1916 42,793 9,756,015 and Turnips . .. . 1915 50,799 25,356,323 _ 8,006 15,600,308 Other crops show as critical decline. Reports from Qntario on the condition of fall wheat for 1917 are decidedly discouraging. Fall Wheat . . Barley and Oats . Peas and Beans Potatoes and Carrots Corn .. As there is an average of not more than one man on each hundred acres of fam land in Ontario, the prospects indicate even a still smaller acreage under cultivation in 1917 unless extra labor is supplied. _A 15â€"year Old Girl at Work Food Production is the Greatest Problem the World Faces Toâ€"day Year Acres Bushels 1916 139,523 7,408,429 1915 an3,.934 as.zeu,003 _ 34411 1916 _ 42,793 _ 9,756,015 1915 50,799 25356323 _ 8,006 1916 1915 1916 1915 1916 1915 1916 1915 704,867 811,185 529,886 552,318 208,332 309,T73 95,542 126,943 â€"Photo from London (Eng.)

The farmers know that they are the last reserve, and that the soil on which crops are grown is the strategic ground on which wars are decided. _ To their care is entrusted the base of supplies. To enable the farm to do the work two factors are essenâ€" tial. The first is Time. Whatever we are to do must be done at once. Nature waits for no man. The second is Labor. Many farmers cannot plant the acres they would because they cannot get the necessary help. _ Many are afraid to increase their acreage because they fear they would not be able to cultiâ€" vate and harvest an unusual crop after they have raised it. If they are to do the work that is essential for them to do, the last man in each city, town and village must be mobilized at once. Lloyd George, in a letter addressed to farmers throughout the Empire, said: Central Empires must be met. This will absorb a laruge part of the world‘s supply. We do not know when this war shall cease. It is endlessâ€" its lengthening out has paralyzed the thought and conception of all men who thought about it and its possible time of conâ€" clusion. Three monthsâ€"six months, we said; nine months, a year, we said; and yet two years and eight months have passed their long dreary and sanguinary length and there is no man who can tell how long this gigantic struggle may yet last. Every man not on Active Service can help. In every city, town and village are men who, by their training on the farm, or by their present occupation, can readily adapt themselves toâ€" farm work. These can render no greater service to the Emâ€" pire at the present time than by answering the call of the farm. Capable men and boys willing to learn should not allow their lack of farm EeÂ¥perience to stand in the way. Can the employer render a more signal service in this crisis than by encouraging these men to help the farmer to fultivate every available acre, and by making it easy for them. o go? So. short is the world‘s food supply that without increased production many in Canada must go hungry, and even with enormously increased production we cannot expect eheap food. The world is waiting for our harvest. If peace should be declared within a year, the food conâ€" ditions will be no better, for the accumulated hunger of the Ontario‘s farm lands are waitingâ€"the implements are readyâ€"the equipment is completeâ€"the farmer is wxllmgâ€"â€"gll he needs is labor.
