AN ANOMALY.
United States

The report of the secretary of agriculture show.
ing that during the year of 1919 all records for
value OF farm products broken while the
volume of production below the average
would seem on the surface to explain In some
measure the prevailing high cost of living Prices
we're high. 1t would seem. because the quantity
was smaller than the demand. Further reading
OF the report however discloses the fact that the
value of the agricultural exports of domestic pro,
auctions was s1.123.o 21 .469 an amount which
has not been equaled. In other words. more
than one-tenth Of the farm products of the coun.
try exported apparently indicating that the
local demand not equal to the supply at the
prevailing prices. Both could not be true. Pos.
sibly the blame can be laid upon the much
maligned mddemRn on the theory that by the
time the products reached the consumer the
price was so high that the demand fell and the
residue had to be sold abroad In this case we
have the anomaly of insufficient supply be-
coming drug on the local market. There Is a
screw loose somewhere

This turn of affairs will be regarded generally

her refusal is made all the more pointed by
