ADVANCES IN WHEAT PRICES
RESULT OF CROP SHORTAGE

Recent advances in the price of
wheat in Central Kentucky markets
have encouraged growers of the
grain who were gradually planting
other crops on lands formerly used
for this purpose to consider rails
ing the crop again.
Some Kentucky buyers have paid
$1.2S bushel for wheat, while
$1.35 bushel has been paid on
the Chicago market. Such prices
are unusual for early season. Ex-
cessive heat and black rust in the
great wheat-producing states of the
Northwest have brought about the
advances.
There has been a prOportionate
advance in flour on Kentucky mar
kets. Experts would not venture an
opinion on probable pnces of flour
this winter, because of the great
shortage in wheat.
Advances in wheat have usually
come later in the season than they
have this year. Because of this
profits have gone generally to the
SPECTATOR. Cooperation among
wheat growers may result in the
farmer getting a good price for his
product even though advances on
the big markets are not brought
about until late in the season.
General indications point to a
further advance in wheat prices,
because of the great shortage in
this years crop.

PROFIT IN LIVE STOCK
Cost of Growing Beef Cattle in tic
Corn Belt States-AddS TO Farm
Income in Most Cases.

That cattle in most cases add to
the farm income in the corn belt
is indicated by the results of a re-
cent investigation conducted by
the Department of Agriculture as
part of a comprehensive study of
the meat situation in which ita
specialists have been engaged fOi
some time. The direct profit from
the raising of calves in this section,
the averages seem to establish, is
usually small, but the investigators
point out that there are other fac.
tors which make the practice more
advantageous than would appear
at first sight.
Among these advantages are the
fact that live stock on the farm
provide a home market and a means
of utilization of farm roughage,
some of which might be wasted if
not fed, and the use of pastures
which could not be employed profit
ably in any other way. Live stock
also affords a ready home market
for certain other crops, which at
times would have to be hauled con-
siderable distances to be sold. Fin
ally, the presence Of live stock on
the farm gives productive employ
ment throughout the year to labor
which at certain seasons might 9TH
erwise be idle. Live stock also
gives some interest on capital in
vested ON equipment, which would
produce nothing if not utilized at
all seasons. The fertilizing value
Of manure also must be considered

he HAD A LOT OF SENSE

There was an old geezer and he
had lot of sense. He started up
a business on a dollar eighty cents.
The dollar for stock, and the eighty
for an ad brought him three lovely
dollars in a day, by dad
Well, he bought more goods anf
little more space, ana ne played
that system with smile on his
face.
The customers hOcked to his
two-by-four and soon he had to
hustle for a regular store. Up on
the square, where the people pass,
he gobbled up a corner that wa,
all plate glass. He fixed up thu
windows with the best that he had
and told them all about it in
half-page ad,
He soon had 'em coming and he
never, never quit, and ne wouldn'.
cut down on his ads, one iit. And
he's kept things humping in tho
town ever since, and everybody calls
him the Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all
bunk-why he was doing business
when the times were punks
People have to purchase and
Geezer was wise-for he knew the
way to get 'em was to advertise.

When these factors are taken into
consideration, even though there APP
pears to be little or no profit as
shown by cost figures, it is believed
that in most instances the farm in
stances the farm income is greater
because of cattle having been kept
on the farm. The keeping of live
stock, therefore, is to be recon-
mended on farms having large
quantities of cheap roughage avail
able or having land which can be
best utilized as pasture.
The figures of costs cited by the
investigators are purely averages
based on actual farms an d
herds Investigated. The Investigate
ors obtained in 1914 and 1915, 500
records from farms in Indiana, IL
linois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
South Dakota, Nbraska and Kan
sas. These records dealt with
1854 cows, 621 bulls, and 1881
calves produced from them, OF
which 1923 were Chased as baby
