'"The North western farmers will have
one Of the most prosperous seasons they
have ever known" said l. Z. Meyers OK
Minneapolis. in The Morton last night
The wheat crop is an immense one. and
the yield viii probably equal any they
have had in years. Everything else
eeems TO be unusually good throughout
Minnesota. Wisconsin and the Dakotaa
OF course the farmers are not getting 20
large a price for their wheat as they
formerly have. They are not getting SO
much as they ought 20 get. but they
make a good profit in spite OF that Com
paSatiyely speaking wheat Is worth al
most as much as il ever was. What l
mean by that is, bushel OF wheat
will buy as much merchandise
as il ever would. There Is great deal
OF talk about tie good old days when
wheat sold FOR q dollar a bushei. But
everything else was high too and co
cents now will buy almos. as much as q
dollar would then. This fact IL often
lost sight OF in the general condemna-
ton Of the hard times. Everything tie
farmer buys is cheaper now than il has
been before or since the war. IL he
could get the war prices Tor his crops il
would be very nice for him; but he can't,
and must take his chances With the rest
OF US. When l was home few weeks
ago, creamery butter was selling Tor -
cents pound, and spring chickens were
bringing s3 dozen. These are good
fair prices, and are a sample Of what the
farmer is getting for has produce in gen
eral. With good crops assured | see no
reason why he should grumble at his
lot. The hard times have affected him
the least Of anybody, as a matter Of
fact"
