When farmers raise more grain than
railroads can haul and get good price
for it, there is genuine prosperity. The
wheat crop in the west is SO heavy that
railroads are fairly swamped at present.
Fortunately for farmers this occurs when
crops in other countries are light, and it
looks as though more wheat would be ex.
ported this year than ever before. The
demand for ocean space has been SO great
that steamship companies have been en-
couraged to raise the rates, but this fact
has not checked the stream of foreign
bound grain in the least. Farmers are
getting good prices for both grain and
and if there ever was year
when mortgages should be paid off it is

How Russian Peasants Broke q

How Russian Peasants Broke q
Drought.
In the village of Apraximo, in the
Orel district of Russia, the peasants adj
dressed the Volost (the old land owner,
who is made chief by reason of his age.}
asking what should be done to break the
long spell Of drought, no rain having
fallen since the beginning of April. The
Volost called meeting of the peasants
of the district and advised them in the
to resort to an old custom. dat
ing back to the days of Gar Ivan, the
terrible. This proposition was carried
out, and the next day all the women of
the village were compelled to take a
bath in the stream running by, while the
man had to sing litanies to soften the
heart of the Deity. Curiously enough,
rain set in on the following day, and the
old custom will hereafter have a large
number of believers.

The Advance m Farn Products.


The Advance m Farn Products.
Kansas City Star.
The wheat raiser is not tie only
farmer who is enjoying the good
times. Values of almost all products
of the farm have advanced, some Of
them even more than wheat. Prices
for the principal products of the soil,
as compared with those of year
ago, are as follows: Wheat is more
than twice as high. corn is 80 per
cent higher, fiaxseed 100 per cent
higher, rye 100 per cent higher, eggs
Is per cent higher, potatoes 200 per
per cent higher. hogs 80 per cent
higher, cattle Is per cent higher,
sheep 20 per cent higher, oats, butter
and poultry about the same as a year
ago, fruits of all kinds irregularly
higher, most vegetables higher.
It is plain, therefore, that the
shortage in European wheat crops is
not the only cause of better times for
the farmer. The more hopeful tone
that pervades the business world
generally has helped the farmer be-
cause it has made people more will
ing to pay advanced prices for the
necessities of life, and the actual in
crease in the number of men at work
in the country has created an enlarg
ed demand for the products of the
farm. In the case of some vegeta
bles and fruits there are smaller crops
this year than last, which has been
the chief cause of the advance in
prices. But there is no shortage of
live stock. Receipts are far in ex-
cess of those year ago; yet prices
of cattle and hogs have advanced
materially, solely because of the in
creased consumption of meats and
the general restoration of confidence.
The higher prices amount to a
great deal to the farmer, but they do
not make much difference to the
consumer. In the case of the minor
articles the increased price obtained
by the farmer is largely at the OK
pense of the retail dealer, whose pro
fits are less because he is unable to
raise his selling price as much as the
wholesale prices of produce have
been advanced. This is true, to a
degree, of wheat also,
for -four prices have not risen as
much as the wheat market has gone
up, and the price of bread has not
advanced in proportion to increased
cost of -four to the bakers. All these
things, of course, will be equalized
in time, but even then the raise in
prices will not hurt the consumer as
much as it helps the farmer: because
a great many consumers contribute
the increased sum which each farmer
gets for his crops. Every dollar
which the farmer gets in excess of
what he has been receiving for a
wagon load of produce is contribu-
ted by a dozen or score of custom
ers.
