Short Crops and Prices.

Measurements have succeeded esti-
mates in the matter of the national
wheat crop and reasonably accurate
figures are now possible as to the
years yield. 1t now appears that the
years harvest is Of more concern to
the deficiency nations than the sur
plus countries have been accustomed
to meet with in many years. The
public has become so imbued with
the thought Of bumper crops as a
sure sign Of prosperity that a short
crop suggests the reverse, but such is
not necessarily, the case. The price
is more important that the volume,
and all indications are that the yield
Of the present year will return more
to the American grower in dollars and
cents than did the crops Of some
bumper years.
Under normal agricultural condi-
tions In this country. importers have
had the benefit Of pressing surplus.
American growers have been COM
PEELED to sell their wheat at prices
fixed according to foreign demand,
but the worlds shortage Of wheat this
year gives the seller the advantage in
the international markets. Reports
show the production Of wheat in
Australia, Argentina, India and in
nearly all Of the foreign countries to
DO more than 1t has been for years,
with the result that the bidding for
Americas surplus, available for ex-
port. will be keen and spirited.
Wheat, as well as other farm pro.
ducts, at present prices will bring the
farmers a financial return that will
more than Offset any deficiency in the
yield.

Farmera and Financial Conditions.

Farmers and Financial Conditions
The upheaval in the business cen
ters Of the east has had Its direct In
fiuence on the west as was TO be ex
pected. 1t has been popular to boas
that the west was 50 firmly entrenchet
In its prosperity that it could not b
affected but single week has shown
how dependent is every part Of thu
country on every other.
1t is also popular to declare thai
the farmer is independent Of the town
and apparently there are some who
believe this and feel that they owe
nothing to the preservation Of credit
and business In the cities and towns,
east or west.
Here. too, is another iallacy. The
farmer has as direct a relation to the
eastern business situation as has the
banker or the merchant.
It is not well to declare that any
portion of the country or any class OF
people can escape radical changes In
financial centers. Between the pure
ly rural producer and banker there
lies the smaller manufacturing town,
making its specialties for the city con-
sumner Of luxuries. Sooner or later
the manufacture OF luxuries will un-
dergo a reduction in output. For in'
stance where people are disposing OF
their expensive stables, the loss Of
demand for horses must Immediately
be felt In the stock-growing sections
Of the country and In manufacturing
towns, Of which the Middle West has
large number engaged in producing
vehicles. Carriage and wagon fac
tories Of western states are nearly all
located in what might be called crop
growing sections. As the demand for
these commodities falls it must result
in laying of labor, in reducing the
pay rolls and increasing the difficulty
Of renting houses. selling goods or
meeting the periodical payments Of
deferred obligations. This Ia. as true
Of other articles as Of these.
The thing that has saved the crop
sections from the immediate
effects Of financial depression was the
continued high prices Of farm pro-
ducts. But farm products cannot
stand on stills indefinitely after prices
elsewhere have been falling. How
soon cereals and live stock may feel
the effects Of shrinkage Of values else
where has been seen In this weeks
market. 1t is with food as with every
other commodity in which economies
can be exercised. When the people
begin to save and become more spar
ing in their utilization Of the neces-
saries OF life, the same fact will be i'm
pressed upon the crop-growing sec
tions as is already being fully realized
by the great financial centers, that no
branch Of money making can set itself
upon a pedestal and, like Nero Of old,
fiddle when Rome is burning.
Farmers as well as financiers have
been responsible for conditions which
brought about the necessity Of re-
and one can no more escape
the consequences Of it than the other.
