IV 4 Step Up to Counter, Buy Liberty Bonds Radical Departure From Personal Solicitation Plan to Be Used Next Time. Minneapolitatis and others rcNjding in the Ninth Federal licserve district will he asked to step up to tho counter and buy fourth Liberty Loan bonds. Announcing a radical departuro from the personal solicitation plan used in the first three bond sales, the executive committee of the Ninth district yesterday reported that there will be no salesmen in house-to-house or off iee-to-op ice work in the coming loan drive, but' the' patriotism of the people will bo relied on to send the loan "over the top." The personal allotment plan, tried out so (ueeessfully in previous loan drives, will be the basis of the new plan, as of the old, but instead of being called on to buy bonds from salesmen citizens will receive a letter from district loan committees, directing them to sales offices where bonds can be purchased. The plan does not mean that loan slackers will escape.

Persons who do not respond in a reasonable time will find a "flying squadron" of bond salesmen their door, no excuse for the nonpurchase of bonds being accepted without an explanation.

Four to One Is New Flour-Substitute Rule That some misunderstanding to prevail among consumers as well as some dealers regarding the new wheat flonr regulations was the statement last night of A. 11.

Wilson, federal food administrator for Minnesota. "The statement that the 50-50 rule for the purchase of substitutes has been changed to an 80-20 rule seems to be the cause for the confusion," he said. Many persons believe that they can now bay five pounds of standard Hour with every one pound of substitutes. This is not the case. The 80-20 rule means four pounds of wheat flour with every one pound of Farmers may pur'hnae a year's supply of flour after October 1, now that limits on quantity sales to consumers have been removed, Mr.

Wilson said. ft AJLT HOURS: 9 to' 5.30-SATURDAY, WER state's Crop Yields 0f Great, PrOpOFtiOllS Corn, Wheat, Oats, Barley and Flax All Heavier Than Last Year. Potato Total Indicated Somewhat Lower Than in 1917, but Quality Good. With indications pointing to exceptionally high yields of all binall grains, together wifh a record corn crop practically assured, Minnesota farmers will reap a rich harvest for their patriotic response to the call for increased food production, according to the crop report yesterday of J'aul II. Kirk, Minnesota field agent for the Department of Agriculture, whose headquarters are at Fergus Falls.

The past month has been nearly ideal for the corn crop, according to Mr. Kirk, the exception being that there was a little too much rain and i a lack of warm weather necessary to mature tho crop'. However, considerable corn is now dented and out of the way of frost. Two weeks more will sec most of the orn matured with excellent yield and good quality. There is plenty of seed corn if properly handled, he said, Based on the condition September 1, which is reporetd at S'O per cent, compared to 97 per cent August 1, production of corn would be bushels, compared to bushels for Wheat Crop 98 Per Cent.

Notwithstanding some degree of dam-ago to the spring wheat crop, duo to hail, black rust and considerable loose smut, the condition of this crop' at the time of harvest is 'considerably above tho average, being reported lit 0s per cent, The indicated production, based on the condition September 1, would bo 72,4 bushels, compared to 50,525,000 bushels for 1917. Uhile oats are not quiet up to spring wheat, having been somewhat dam aged by dry weather in certain sections of the state, the crop promises a most excellent yield. he condition September 1 is estimated to be per cent, indicating a probable production of bushels, compared to bushels in 1017. Threshing returns show that the barley crop, in all sections except small areas nUVcted by drouth, has come through the season in most excellent shape. Jinins perhaps have affected the quality of the grain somewhat.

Condition reported for September 1 is 07 per fteut, which would indicate a probable production of 4.1,358,000 bushels, compared to 37.S0O.O0O bushels in 1017. Potato Crop Averages Well. The potato crop is somewhat lower in condition than small grains, as the late crop has been affected by continual drouth, while in pla'ee? wilt has made inroads on the production. However, in many places the diggings show good yield with an excellent 'quality. The condition September 1 is H7 per cent, which indicates a probable production of bushels, compared to 33,600,000 bushel, the final for 1017.

The past month has been most advantageous to the late sown crop of flax, and the greater per centage of the crop isjnw harvested or out of danger of Minnesota will probably have one of its best crops in years. Based on September 1 condition, of 02 per cent, the indicated production is 2,507,000 bushels, compared, to 000 bushels in 1017. Apple Crop Damaged. The apple crop was-danaged in certain sections by early frosts so, that the condition has been low all season. While the hay crop is short, duo to dry weather in the northwestern part of "the state, a thin stand generally ha lowered production, which is estimated to be 4,400,000 tons, the quality of all hay is generally good, the majority going eitherinto stack, or barn fresh and green.

Tho alfalfa crop is spotted, but later cuttings helped out production. While the clip of wool was not quite as heavy as last year, the increase in the number of sheep has more than offset this decrease. High prices for wool and mutton are attracting the attention of stockmen, especially in the cut-over timber lands-. Notwithstanding the poor corn crop last year and hifh price of feed, the number of hogs for fattening compared with last year shows au increase of 1.1 per cent over last year.

S. Kearsage, engaged In coast patrol duty near Boston, is visiting at his home, 4214 Emerson avenue north, on an eight-day furlough. He is 19 years old. According to Seaman Dahl the submarine zone has shifted from European to American waters. "Submarines are present in great numbers less than 100 miles from the American shore," he said.

they have been assured they can buy grain from the United States Grain corporation any time it is needed. Elevator companies abandoned an attempt to obtain soldiers to unload the frain when they found tho plan woubl not be feasible. Appeals for men have been placed with the United States employment service, but the demand for harvest workers has bceu enormous and the employment service lias been unable to supply 'the men the elevators need. Mr. Triekett was of the opinion that action must be taken at once to speed up the unloading or grain lwll move in great, quantities to competitive markets.

This would mean that other markets might gnin an advantage over Minneapolis for the period of the e'mbargo. JJailroad yariis around tho big flour mills present a pieturesqun appearance, dancing down on the yards from tho Floor Exchange building one could see the switch engines puffing and tugging away at the long lines of grain cars. Every siding was jammed with ears, and train crews found themselves up against a difficult problem shuttling the cars back and forth in the crowded yards. Grain men with offices in tho Flour Exchange building bad only to point out this sight to convince one of the congestion at the mills and elevators. War Body Puts Soldier Farm Plan Up to Preus The Mate rnblic Safety commission yesterday referred to State Auditor Preus without recommendation proposals for the reclamation of state land in northern Minnesota, with a purpose of furnishing farms to returning soldiers.

The action was taken in connection with a drainage project in Helt- ranu county, where much state owned land is located, -Mr. Preus already has advocated that action by the state be deferred until definite plan for. application to all states alike is worked out by a federal board. FREE For a telephone or Solution of Wheat Glut Here Is Sought Grain Men to Meet Today to Devise Plan to Have Rail Embargo Revoked. 5,600 Unloaded -Cars on City Tracks Reported Due to Labor Shortage.

With a iov of having 1 lie government wheat embargo "on Minneapolis revoked as soon as possible, a meeting will be hold at 3 p. m. to. lay in the ronnm of the secretary of the Chamber of rco, at which representatives of the United States administration, tho State Uailway and Warehouse commission, the flour mills, the terminal elevators, directors of the Chamber of Commerce, the Minneapolis Traffic association and the United rStatcs employment service will be present to discuss the matter and strive to find a solution of the present difficulty. It is also planned to devise Trays and means whereby the grain traffic problem may be handled more expeditiously in the future.

A call for the meeting was issued uy V. Trirkett, manager ot the Minneapolis Traffic association, C. Andrews, chairman of the grain and milling committee of the Traffic association, will preside. O. P.

U. Jacob-on, member of the State Railroad and Warehouse commission, who has charge of the state grain inspection department, tieorge D. Tunnell, chief in-epector, and Kichard Gibus, chief deputy inspector, state grain department, will represent the railroad commission. H. A.

Kennedy, Federal malinger of the Twin City terminals, and A. W. Trenholm, Federal railroad for the Northwest, will also attend. Labor Shortage Blamed. The glutting of the railroad yards with grain is caused by an acute labor (shortage at the elevators, which are putting away only half as much grain as they could with a full force of shovels.

Lave barely been averted at a number of elevators when laborers demanded as high as $7 a day for their work. Tdj closing of the Minneapolis market to wheat means that miltons of bushels will be diverted to Dulutli, Chicago, Milwaukee and competitive inar-icts. It means further that grain will back up in the country. Atjioints where country elevators already are tilled the farmers will be forced to store the grain on their property at a risk. Grain Men Astonished, i Men close to the grain trade for "rears were astonished when this em-largo order was posted on the floor of the Chamber Commerce.

Ecgret expressed that the embargo should iconic at a time when the greatest crop known was just starting to move. The present marketing situation is directly opposed to the situation at a similar period last fall, when the government issued appeals to farmers to eb'tp. their grain promptly. This year the farmers are shipping so rapidly the markets are unable to take care of the wheat. The magnitude of the terminal tie-Dp is illustrated in yesterday's figures of the Twin City terminal office of the lailroafl administration.

Millions of Bushels Waiting. There are 6,720,000 bushels of grain on sidings awaiting to be put in elevator bins. The total number of loaded ears awaiting to be cleared mounted to 5,600 ears. Receipts today amounted to 3,346,800 bushels, or C34 cars. Mr.

Kennedy said the embargo would last but, a few days, but that the order is absolutely necessary to get tars out of Minneapolis back into the country. M. Boyce, traffic manager of the United States Grain corporation, said the embargo would work a hardship on the country elevators, many of which already are filled with grain awaiting movement. Elevator Men Plan Appeal. Uailroad and elevator men asserted that the solo cause of the congestion is the labor shortage at the elevators.

The elevator men were planning on an appeal to Washington for government control over elevator labor in order to make sure thtt the grain will be taken care of. Lynn Thompson, organizer for the Trades and Labor. Assembly, has been active in organizing the elevator workers in the last two weeks. quit work at the Soo line elevator yesterday when their demands for higher wages were not granted promptly. They returned to work today when the company agreed to pay them for a 10 hour day.

Wage Demands Granted. Successive demands have been made of all elevators recently, and the elevators have granted the increases rather than take the chance of losing: their men and holding back the "movement of wheat. Frank M. Norton of the Exchange T.levator company said his company paid shovelers $7.50 a day Sunday. T.ven at this wage men did not appear for work Monday, assuming a most independent attitude.

Elevators are not paying under TiO cents an hour, with time and a half extra for overtime. Information came from an authentic ource that the mills are somewhat to blame for the grain congestion. It was pointed out that if the mills tilled their elevators while grain was plentiful in Minneapolis the congestion would be relieved at once. Mills Buying Little Wheat. Tho mills, it is said, arc buying little wheat now owing to the poor demand for flour and owing to the fact that University Ave.
