brings the cost Of a bushel Of corn up
to $3.50 cents per bushel. Averaging
the price Of corn December I for the
past ten years, the farm price Of corn
in Missouri has been ASS cents per
bushel, which ia 81 cents per bushel
below the net cost of production, or
$50 cents below what the farmer
ought to have to give a profit of ten
per cent on the business Of growing
corn"
From these facts Mr.. Ellis con-
cludes that the farmer must get a
better price for his corn in the future,
or else he must find way to reduce
the cost of production. AS corn enters
largely into the worlds food supply,
it is not, perhaps, best that 1t should
20 higher in price. There are mil
lions of people in the world today
who are struggling for daily bread
and whose burdens would be increased
by higher prices of bread and meat.
On the other hand, the farmer must
have a better profit If he is to pros
