THE BEE: OMAHA, ' FRIDAY, MAK 11, 1917.
U. S. MUST APPLY
RIGID FOOD SYSTEM
With Short World's Crops the
Problem of Distribution Must
Be Met, Says David Lu
bln of California.
Rome, May 10. With last year's
world food crops poor and those of
this year poorer, it is necessary, even
if the war end this summer or fall,
for the United States "to apply rigid
food war measures, according to
David Lubin of California, founder of
the International Institute of Agri
culture here and American representa
tive to it. , . ;
Mr. Lubin has already submitted
to President Wilson and other offi
cials plans for the regulation ot tood
distribution.
"The mobilization of our agricul
tural resources comes next in im
portance to the handling of our army
and navy," said Mr. Lubin in outlin
ing his plans to the Associated Press.
"The war problem is not one of pro-
; duction, but of distribution. 1
"We have seen how the Russian
. government was overthrown because
people were starving, in a country
.. that has had ever since the beginning
of the war, immense supplies of sur
plus wheat which the iloslng of the
Dardanelles prevented from going to
market. :
Too Much Manipulation.
'There is more manipulation of food
products in the United States than
in the belligerent countries Of Eu
rope, so the first thing to do after
we have quit throwing away food,
wastinc it and have begun to plant
locally in cacti state ana county more
heavily, is to shut off manipulation
through an effective national food dis
tribution organization.
"Our remedy for high prices for
speculation, for providing enough food
to eat, lies in the duplication of the
German system of organizing the
farmers and in the proper -adaption
of our parcels post service to family
food deliveries. '
Outlook In England Poor. '.
(Corraspondenca ct Tha Associated Press.)
London, April 28, Reports of the
agricultural outlook in Great Britain
are almost uniformly discouraging.
Not even the oldest 1 farmer recalls
a more trying time than that through
which he has just been passing.
A late sowing, a poor yield, a wet
autumn and severe winter have been
followed by a spring with all the
marked characteristics of December.
The state of the fields is called in
II the agricultural reports "serious,"
although it is still possible that a
period of warm weather might change
the situation considerably by the end
of May. H:..., , v '
Many Crops Resown. .
- The history of many of the best of
the British crop this year is a story
of sowing in November and resowing
in April In many cases the autumn
sowing was destroyed completely ana
gome scheme 'had to be hastily de
vised. The wheat area, it is stated, cannot
be large this year. Oats cannot be
estimated and barley for some reason
is in disfavor.
In the middle of April potato farm
ers art still awaiting a favorable mo
ment to push ahead their planting.

nature of a patriotic demonstration,, 'a
sort of national fete day. In many
parts of the skate there will be barbV

duty ot registration devolves win
know that they have the support, of
their fellows of all occupations and

A report from another state is to
the effect that it hones to clear uo hs
