THE WAR AND IOWA CROPS.


Congress Prouty, recalling conditions
during the civil war in America, pre-
diets that this country shall profit
greatly in a commercial way by reason
Of the conflict in Europe, especially if
the war lasts six months or more. He
looks for an unprecedented demand for
American products required to feed
millions OF men withdrawn from pro-
ductive labor and made consumers in
stead of producers. Mr.. Prouty has
travelled extensively abroad studying
conditions there and believes the war
will work untold benefit to US in a
business way"
The civil war raised prices Of farm
products TO a point that had been un-
known, even in times of scarcity. With
more than half the able bodied men
Withdrawn from competition in farm
ing those who remained found prices
and demand extraordinarily profitable.
The expansion of currency aided.
Those who mad sold dressed hogs be-
fore the war at $3.50 per hundred
weight drove their herds TO the nearest
dred live weight. Wheat that had
dragged at 80 cents to 20 cents busheI
jumped to SO and $3.50. Everything
in foodstuTs went up with amazing
rapidly; and as the factory states
were drained of men manufactured
goods kept pace. A calico gown cost
as much as silk one does today. 1t
was a time of large returns and large
expenditures.
With the population Of Europe with
drawn from productive pursuits the
two Americas must furnish the sup
plies for the support of those great
armies. So mighty a market to which
is added the currency expansion found
advisable under the circumstances the
conditions of the civil war are repro
with the notable exception that we are
not engaged in war, that wc are SELL
ers instead Of buyers and that no
limitations are put upon our produce
tive capacity except natural limits
Our farmers and factory hands are not
at war. We shall, if the war goes on,
find the nations involved in it bidding
for our products and find our markets
the high markets that belong with
necessity.
It is a rather cold blooded PROPOSE
ton but Iowa is of all the states in
position to profit most because of her
great crops. her imm easurable fertility
and the ability of her farmers to hold
until the price Is right We SHAH
have much to sell, an extraordinary
demand for it IL the war continues and
are entirely competent to see that we
get the highest market price for all of
It,
Iowa has no cause to be worried over
the business aspects of the war trou-
Bile. The securities held in Iowa are
safe ones. And her corn and wheat
and hogs and cattle are as so much
gold in hand.
