many wouli be, at lec£t for the sun»
mer, fiio raising of food stuffs and
the production of munitions has
bee a practically assured since the
declaration of war.
Americas task, anil it is a tre
me.id one, is to be tlie granary
for tlia allies. Commenting upon
this rhe Portland Telegram says:
"'.Vheu the distinguished repre
sentatives of the French republic
made the journey to Kansas City
they saw what they had hitherto
only visualized—the corn, belt of the
I'niieu St 'is the world's greatest
granary, tiio rich region which dur
ing the next twelve mouths will
- ;• fu- .. arid ;rom starving. Life1
time study of the maps could not
convex to their miuds what the sight
of the .Viddle YV« st farms disclosed.
They saw for themselves the basis
of our national wealth. They may
not have perceived at Kansas City
the evidence of fine art that marks
1'aris, but they saw more corn, cat
tle and hogs- -today the most vital
things in existence.
-ii-o ».
parsed ti1rou5.l1 several states, any
two pr" wiii.h produce more non-per
ishable food than all of France
produces. After seeing Ohio, Indi
ana, Illinois a;:d Missouri, they
could form an accurate estimate of
'he agricultural resources of Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and
the two Dakotas, whose productive
acres exceed fourfold those of
France. It musi. have put heart in
to the visitors to think that every
pouad cf food raised in this empire
above our barest needs will be sent
to Franco and her big ally afte\r
it is harvested.
"But our French friends learned
at first hand something mare. The
men who farm the great corn belt
d 'hose who inhabit the towns
and cities of the great corn, belt
are (miued with the spirit tha'
moves the men of the Atlantic
statea. In the great struggle for
world freedom the entire corn belt
will take P^r'—on th® battlefield,
P>n the farm and in the workshop.
Triole will be tho service of the
torn belt.

had found time to continue their
joarn.y to the Pacific coast, they
would have discovered nothing ex
