CHICAGO, April 10.—Declaring
that unless immediate and drastic
step* are taken to insure increased
food production the Tnited States
will face a shortage approaching ac
tual famine, J. Ogden Armour of
Chicago, ha* i**uea an appeal for
public eo-oi.»ration to *ecure the
gfoateat poesihle crop for 1917.
“The tood shortage is world
wide," said Mr Armour “Produr
tton in Burope is worse than cut in
half by the war In the Argentine,
there hare been droughts and great
los *e* of gram and cattle in our
couatry the winter wheat crop ha*
bean badly damaged by cold weath
er.
'Now we hare entered the war.
Our Aral duty, as I see it. la to
make certain that !>otb our own
people and our allies have an abun
dant food supply.
“With foil recognition of the fact
that we are facing the most critical
days in our national history. I say
the question of food supply i* the
moet pressing and important be
tters us. From a purely war stand
point, even, food preparednes* seem?
to me quite a* important and more
pressing than military prepared
ness
‘lf we start at once—-this week
—we still have time to vastly in
crease our food production not only
tor the fall and winter but for
the years which come afteT and
which may be even more critical
“Because the time is so abort and
the situation ao dangerous, I favor
government supervision and control
stl food production and food prices
They hare been forced to come to
that in Europe. Let us do It before
we are compelled to do so
“The prices of wheat, corn, live
riock and other food products hare
broken away from any control bait
that of the government. Let the
government for instance, fit the
wholesale prices of all meat prod
uots That would probably result
in an automatic regulation of all
prices, from the producer to the
consumer. If It failed to do so,
further government action might be
necessary
“Let the government, aay. guar
aatee to tha farmers a minimum
price of a bushel for all the
wheat they can raise It would he a
perfectly safe thing to do. It would
not cost the government a rent.
“These are radical suggestions.
But this is an emergency which
nothing hut radical remedie# will
meet. There are Arms wfiose
profits would be cut. hut in the
present situation the Individual will
have to suffer, so long as benefit
to the mass of the people results.
“There should he a vastly increa#
ed crop of spring wheat sowed
Farmer* all through the great
*prlag wheat belt of the northwest
should be persuaded and urged, as
n patriotic duty, to double their
acreage In wheat. There 1* still
time to save the situation ao far as
wheat is concerned during the pres
ent crop year. No one need fear,
even if the government doe* not
guarantee him a minimum price,
that he will fail to find his wheat
crop profitable. The world must
have bread
“Patriotic women should establish
a regimen of strict economy in
thr household ff people who now

nr w. l. envoy
(SfaT Corr ejtpnndent Detroit Timen)
LANWNC, Mich., April 10-War
fervor was displayed in thr Michi
gan l« fi*iature last night, reaching
it# h< tebt when Major Augustus H.
Gansser, of the 33rd Infantry, Mich
tgan National Guard, fresh from the
Mexican border, made his Aral ap
pestrance In the 1917 senate, of
which he is a memoer from the
Bay-Midland district.
Major Gansser was given an ova
tion when a special committee es
corted him to the lieutenant govern
or's dal* and responded with a bril
liant oration that brought frequent
bursts* of applause. Following his
speech he was the center of an Im
promptu reception party for half
an rouh before he wa* able to take
his seat at the flag draped desk
which has marked his place in the
senate since the opening of the ses
sion.
The senate was packed to the
doors when It* session began at
9 p m.. word having gone forth
that final a.tion would be had on
the fo.Ooo Wo war loan bill and that
Major Gansser would make his first
appearance of the session
A* before, when the war loan hill
was up in committee of the whole,
ihere was no effort to orate upon It.
Senatoi Foster, introducer of the
bill, moved that it be taken up out
of order and this wa* done with un
animous consent. He offered one
amendment, to make the bonds or
notes issued for the s. ! i,OOO t iH><> loan,
exempt from taxation The amend
ment was adopted and the bill
placed oa immediate passage.
Even senator present. 29 in all.
voted for the bill The name of one
other senator. Wood was added to
the list of those voting for It. as
he was unavoidably absent and had
asked to be recorded as voting in
favor of the measure.
On motion of Senator Roberta the
war loan bill wan named .the Fos
ter Petermann blit Rep . Peter
tnann, author «f an identical bill
«trh the Foster bill, held up action
in the house on hi# measure so that
the bouse could receive the Foster
bill from the senate and put it* ap
proval on that one. The bill was
sent directly to the bouse as soon
tbe senate had attached an tm
mediate »ffect clause to It and the
bouse advanced It to tbe order of
third reading at once, so that It can
be passed Anally this afternoon and
sent to Gov. Bleeper for his signs
ture.
The senate had no sooner dis
posed of tbe war loan than Senator
Damon moved that a recess be tak
*n and a committee named to es
cort Major Gansser Into the hall.
The •ornmitte returned in a few
moments with the Bay City senator
in full military uniform and a wave
of applause accompanied him to the
platform, where Lieut. Gov Dickin
son introduced him in a few words.
MaJ Gan**er, who had been on
the Rio Grande since last summer
wltji tbe .73rd, and who returned to
Detrott only a few days ago. had
stored up many subjects on which
he wished to talk to his fellow- sena
tors and hi* speech was followed
with the closest attention
He told of long nights on the Rio
Grande when he had called to his
mind the familiar scenes in ihe
Michigan senate and said he wa#
glad to be bark in order to plead
for the soldier bovs who served with
him. He urged that the legislature
tuake provisions to pay them tbe
difference between tbe state pay and
the government pay. Many of them
had gone to camp last -ummsr in
civilian clothes, he aatd. and had
worn out those clothes in rough
camp work before they received
their uniforms. Mustered out In
winter they gave up their uniforms
and h*d no < lotblng ei<-apt the worn
out summer togs tbav first had used
at Grayling
He also urged that something he
done to stir up the government to
tak«* care of »he officer* pay. Then
he thanked tbe senate for having
cared for his district while he »u
away, aud asked for the passage of
bills placing a fish hatchery on th*
Saginaw- Buy shore* and to prevent
pollution of the rivers flowing into
the bay.
Major Ganseer continued with a
strong request for help for the na
tional guard in order to equip it to
the most complete eitent, He re
called that he had been 2« years
.n the guard and said that he first
had aspired to membership in the
legislature in the hope that he would

He reminded his audteoce that he

Not to be outdone by the acnate
in war matter*, the house received

create a personal mtlultary staff for
Gov Slecner The bill provides that

other officers of the national guard
