in United States Army.
Nearly 300 American youths tire
either ilyiug at the front in the Fivm
aviation service, or are finishing their
training at various French ilyiug
schools in France.
They are all volunteers and were
recruited chiefly from the unibulam-c
services, where
they
were formerly
drivers on the French front.
They are entirely separate and dis
tinct from the huudreds of Auicriniu
youths who are in the aviation brunch
of the signal corps of the United
States ariny and who are receiving
their training in various schools
taken over from the French army.
It is expected that all of these
Americans now olliciatlng with the
French army will be taken over hy the
American expeditionary force under
the command of General JVr-liiiiir.
Soon after the first of the year.
Those who have been actively en
gaged in aerial lighting for son,.' time,
like the members of the Lafayette

Americans attached to various French
units, will probably receive ci|iiain

Widespread Interact
Widespread interest centered tn the
production forecasts of this aeason'i
winter wheat and rye crops.
Winter wheat sown last, autumn on
42,170,000 acres, the largest are& evei
planted to that crop in the history
ot
American agriculture, entered the win
ter with the lowest condition on rec
ord on December 1. In its December
production forecast the Department ot
Agriculture estimated the crop would
be abon: 540.000,000 bushels. Efforts
had been made in the early fall to
stimulate production- by heavy plant
ing, but. weather and other conditions
were adverse.
Weather .Not Adverse.
The government, bad aimed to have
a crop of 672.000.000 bushels of win
ter wheat and relied on farmers to
plant enough spring wheat to bring
the country's wheat production this
year to more than l.ooO.Wio.OOO bush
els. Weather conditions through the
winter have not been adverse to the
winter grain crops and early reports
Indicated that the winter wheat and
rye had begun the spring in better
condition than had been expected. It
was felt, from these indications that
the production forecasts would be
larger than those estimated as

.Mr. Stenlx us is a farmer. lie

is selling at from $10 up to almost
any limit. Air. Stephens refused an

ot $lo a bushel. He is tuoted as
saying:
I have the respect and liking
of my neighbors. 1 think, and
would not sacrifice it for all

crops. Surely I would not help
if I expected all I could get for

when I go I don't want to feel
that I have done anything
against my country's interest

God bless John A. Stephens. Those
are brave words—a fit rebuke to the
Hog Island profiteer with his, "You
can't keep a corporation alive on pa

refusing a pocketful of chicken feed.
Ten thousand bushels of corn on
