Of THE WAR
ON ALL FARM CROPS
Publisher of the SATURDAY. Blade and
Chicago Ledger Discusses
Question.

The publisher Of the Saturday
Blade and Chicago Ledger, says:
Very much depends upon the
duration Of the war. l expect ito be
short. An army and navy must have
food-everybody must eat A navy
must also have coal. All countries
in Europe engaged in wwar except
Russia will have to begin to draw or
the United States within thirty days
for foodstuffs, and GET IT, or have
a famine. The millions of men call
ed to arms ust at this season of
the year with harvests in Europe ripe
Will shorten very materially the guam
tity saved, and to a small etent.
some Of the crops will also be ruin
ed by the operation Of war. Should
o general war continue for six
months, wheat and farm products in
the United States would double in
price. There would soon be more
money in circulation, in tn earicul-
tural districts in the United States
than ever before known in the his
tory Of the country. We should not
forget that Mexico must turn to us
for her food supply for the next year,
as it has raised practically nothing
(but trouble) the past year or So"
Some time before there had been
|"ny indications Of an impendin war,
europe began buying American
wheat upon a large scale. In one
100000 bushels.
This was owing to an actual crop
shortage in Russia and other grain
regions Of Europe. One of the first
steps taken by all the warning ma
tons was to forbid their food sup
plies from being exported. All Eu-
rope is eager to buy but afaraid to
sell food, for no one knows how long
the war Will last nor which way it
will run.
It is the American farmers op-
lportunty to hold his crop for good
prices, yet it is unsafe to speculate
for markets are easily thrown into
excitement and great and sudden lux
atoms are sure to follow. American
farmers must feed Europe this year
and next, for with all Europe in
camp, her crop acreage will be much
reduced"
Every farmer should practice econ
omy with his grain and feed and
would waste and damage from the
weather and improper handling.
"The sight of Europe at the pres
! ent times makes the dear old United
States seem mighty good place to
live in. While we pity Europe we
can but love our own country more.
