Crops Shortened By Drouth

Statistics issued Thursday by
the Pennsylvania Railroad show
that the three-month drouth that
has prevailed throughout the pen
insula was one OF the most disas-
trous to crops that has ever oc-
Cured. The losses in shipments
of fruit and produce are startling.
The berry crop was cut in hal: and
the loss on apples was enormous.
The shipments of berries this sea-
son from Delaware and the East
ern Shore of Maryland and Vir-
ginia were II,27o,182 quarts, as
compared with 2I,528,63S quarts
last year. The shipments OF ap-
pies were only 1924 baskets this
year, whereas last year they to-
tailed 22o,o22 baskets. Peaches,
pears, potatoes and plums are also
virtually ruined, it is said.

The Truth About The Farmer

People everywhere point to the
prosperity OF the farmer. Maga-
zines and newspapers paint mar
velous pictures OF farmers moving
in a golden haze of opulence. The
farmer is blamed for the high
prices Of food products. Cartoon
lists draw him with an abnormal
swelling in the region of his pock-
etbook.
The widespread idea OF the far
mer's prosperity comes largely
from the phenomenal increase in
land values that have taken place
within the past ten years. In Iowa
tor instance, land increased in value
1927 per cent between 1890 and
1910. Figured in dollars and
cents, it means that Iowa's farm
land is worth $I,543,273.oo more
than it was ten years ago. Looks
like prosperity, doesn't it,
But wait a minute. The money
that the Iowa farmer has invested
in land is fixed capital. His $I5o
land today is not worth any more
from crop production standpoint
than it was ten years ago when it
could have been bought Tor $40.
Corn is Iowa's principal crop. In
1900 the average yield to the acre
was 4o.7 bushels. In 1910 it was
3o.3 bushels. True, the price has
risen somewhat. On November
I, 1000, the farm price on corn was
27 cents per bushel. On the same
date this year corn was selling for
80 cents a bushel. The corn crop
of the State was 100000 bushels
greater in 1900 than in 1910. In
1910 it was worth S38,o8o,o5c
more than in 1000. To offset this
there is that billion and half ex-
ira capitalization to pay dividends
on. At 5 per cent that I22 per
cent increase in the value of land
is costing the Iowa farmer ST.
I63,65o a year.

good years perhaps a few hundred
dollars more.
These figures have not been
given with pessimistic design.
There has been no desire to mini
nize the profits pf agriculture.
The livestock farmer who is us
ing businesslike and scientific me-
thods is making money, though
not in any such vast amounts as
popular reports would seem to in
dicate. Probably the majority of
farmers are making a comfortable
living, provided no sum is set
aside to replace the fertility that
is being sold from the soil. A
great many of them are working
Ior a wage that means a bare llv-
ing, and are making only about
enough interest on their invest
ment to pay their taxes,
THE REMEDY.
The remedy is obvious. The
farmer must be conceded fair
prices for his products, and neither
increased railroad rates nor dis
crinlinatory tariffs used to reduce
that price. If the price of food
stuffs to the consumers can be re-
duced by establishing more direct
communication between them and
the producers, it should be done,
but the best interests of the nation
demand that the farmer be allowed
a dividend on his investment and
wage for his labor that shall not
be greatly inferior to dividends
and wages in other lines Of busi-
ness.-Prairie Farmer.
