He declares it is beyond question that unless a greater acreage is put to crop in 1017 thele will lie World Hunger befote the 1918 crop is harvested. The failure of the grain crop in the Argentine Republic, which is ordinar- ily a great grain exporting nation, re- sulting in an embargo being placed, in March 1017, upon the export of grains from that country to avert local fain- . ne. The United States Department of Agriculture, in its official report, an- nounces the condition of the Pall wheat crop, which is two-thirds of their total wheat crop, on April 1st, 1917, to be the poorest ever recorded, and predicts a yield of 244,000,000 bus, below the crop of 1915. The 1916 crop was poor. Even with favorable weath- er the wheat crop of the United States is likely to be the smallest in thirty- five years, not more than 64 per cent of the normal crop. Under date of April 1051), Ogden Ar- mour, executive head of Armour & Co., one of the world's largest dralere in food products, stated that unless the United States wishes to walk de- liberately into a catastrophe, the best brains of the country, under Govern- ment supervision, must immediately devise means of increasing and con- serving food supplies. Al mon, urged the cultivation of every available acre. The food shortage, he said, is world- wide. European production is cut in half, the Argentine Republic bas suf- fered droughts.
