With wheat still maintaining its. high
inrenched than ever. James Wilson. Sec
Ie-a-y of Agriculture. declared last night
LIS former position was maintained-that
the crop was not short, and that the
cause Of the abnormal price must be
sought in other directions.
i don't know what 70 attribute i 70,
except the meddiiEs Of Chicago oper-
ators. he said. But wheat speculation
and the wheat corner are academic cues
tons not within the scope Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and If a certain
coterie Of spectators IS keeping the
price Of wheat at an artificial level. other
officials must determine the legality and
propriety OF the proceeding.
The crop is not short. According TO
the last reports. il amounts TO $4,000 90
bushels. which is somewhat above the
average Last years crop. II IS true. vas
1.S.o0sO00 bushels. but this was an ex-
traOrdinaTy crop, and the average OF pre-
ceding years will be found considerably
higher than this years.
You cannot account for high prices on
the theory Of a crop shortage, because
there isn't any. The Department Of Agri-
calture deals only with facts. and Il is
not undertaking any investigation TO find
the cause OF the present price level This
Is not its sphere 1 cannot say whether
the indications are that the price viii
break soon or whether it will go still
higher.
Old Case Recalled.
=
drove the price Of wheat TO $50 bushef:
and what it has done once. il may do
again. There are other elements enter
ing into the question Of high prices. Il is
true that all farm products are rising.
They have been going Up steadily for
some time past The reason is not far to
seek. It is simply the shortage Of farm
labor This shortage has been growing
greater for years. and the movement is
still that way.
The industrial pursuits offer young
men OF the farms 50 much higher wages
than they could possibly earn at agri-
culture that the movement away from
the farm IS constantly going on. Il Is
purely a business question. Vigorous
young men, raised on the farms, find an
outlet for their energy in manufactur-
ing concerns, in mines. in stores, IN a
hundred and one urban pursuits It is
little wonder the farm cannot hold them.
Farmers have experienced great diff
Guilty in obtaining help for years. The
difficulty Is greater to-day than ever. Il
is forcing the prices Of ali cereals I'D.
because larger wages are being paid from
year 20 year. Beef is higher for the
same reason. On account Of higher wages
the old farming conditions are DESTROYED.
and higher prices are necessary result.
The European immigrant Is. not ALWAYS
desired on the farm. because ne cannot
be trusted with the costly and intricate
machinery which all the big farms now
use He often breaks the harvesting
machines. and Is often ignorant OF any
idea Of how 70 handle the implements.
Besides that. he prefers TO segregate in
