While the proper thing for the
farmer TO do is to sell his wheat and
pay his debts. it is still of interest to
watch the predictions OF mcn who
have more or less ground for being
able to see ahead. The present
high price Of wheat is due. not to
II present scarcity SO much us to
The prospect of the next year: SO il
1t is true that there will be a a
city. this fact is being discounted
already. The farmer is not the only
nan in b worid who believes that
wheat prices are going up. Spec
ulntors and investors are evidently
believing The same thing. and their
actions are partly the cause of the
present high prices. Gen. Wash
burn OF Minneapolis has Just re-
turned from Il European trip, and
he tells a reporter that there is a
great shortage Of wheat in Europe
owing to The drought, and he be-
lieves that the price Of wheat will
90 up to Si.2U and stay there. This
is good news, not only to the farmer
Who believes it will pay him to hold

who sells today. the size OF whose
