SHORTAGE OF GRAIN CROPS
The Cause of the H. C. L.

AT least large part of the high
prices of eatables is due to . the
shortage of the leading grain crops,
which show an enormous falling off
from last year, according to govern
ment estimates just made public
Shortage in the wheat crop alone
amouns to 3S6,O00,0OO bushels. or
say nearly four bushels to every
man. woman and child in the
United States, including her colon
les. Potatoes are short almost a
bushel per head. so it will be seen
that even without the war in
Europe prices would be" high, on
our staple articles of food. The
bean crop, we know from local in
formation, is short turnout the
country, SO that there is practically
no shifting from one item of food
to another, because all lines are
short.
Add to this, lack of freight ears
Or motive power with which to
transport stuff readily from one
part of the country to another,
there are tw" things contributing
heavily to the expense of living.
Next, with Europe bidding against
our own people for everything we
raise, things are bound to be good
for the fellow who has something
eatable to sell
