huge benefit payment under the
roil conservation program, Ameri-
can farmers face the probability of
a 1938 wheat surplus which may
reach 200,030,039 bushels, a study
of agriculture department statis-
tics show.
Cn the basis of the most recent
crop reports, officials estimated
that production of winter wheat
will yield "slightly more than 600-
009,000 bushels" whereas the an-
nual average consumption in this
country for food, for feed to animal.-*
and for seeding is 625,099,000 bush-
els. i
Winter Wheat To Supply U* S.
Thus the winter wheat alone will
supply practically all of this coun-
try’s demands and the spring wheat
crop will be entirely in excess of
normal domestic consumption.
While there is no way of knowing
whether the weather and acreage,
vet to be planted, will be favorable
cr detrimental, the average annual
spring wheat harvest over the past
10 years has been slightly in excess
of 200X00.090 bushels.

ing farmers upwards to half a bil-
lion dollars annually to solve the

V
Life Of Lewis
Hereto Unpublished Side-
lights On Life Of Ex-
plorer Are Found
ST. LOUIS. (U.R)—Hitherto un-
known—or unconfirmed—sidelight
on the life of Meriwether Lewis
co-explorer with William Clark of
the Northwest, have been revealed
here with the bequest to the Mls-
rouri Historical Society of unpub-
lished letters written by the great
explorer and scout.
Scholars have been working on
the letters and documents, which
were given to the society by the
late Dr. Meriwether Lewis Ander-
son, a descendant of Lewis. Ander-
son died at Richmond, Va., last
August.
Included In ithe group are num-
erous letters written by the explorer
to his mother. One. written in 1795
when he was 20. was ih a srml-
npologetic tone for his seeming in-
ability to stay home. He had en-
listed with some Virginia troop* at
the time, and wrote:
“So violently opposed 18 my gov-
erning passion for rambling to the

ter will discontinue the practice,

nounced.
. , , . . "The Supreme Court, in effect,
to let her know of ms whereabouts rjled it JUegal and we do not want
that of having inherited it in right
of the Meriwether family ’
He asked his mother to forgive
| him on tha' bas. ; then promised
“by every opportunity.
One of the pt b: of the new ad-
ditions to the society's already large
collection of Lewis-Clark material
is a letter written by Lewis to his
mother in July, 1893. less than a
year before he departed cn the ex-
pedition which was to make his
name prominent in the history of
\merlcan exploration
Regarding his prospects with op-
imism, he wrote:
"The nature of this expedition Is
ay no means dangerous."
He assured her that the route
was to be "altogether through tribes
of Indians who are perfectly friend-
ly to the United States. For Its
fatigues I feel myself perfectly pre-
pared, nor do I doubt, by health and
strength of constitution to bear it. I
go with the utmost preconviction in
my mind of returnin ; safe.”
