Is there any reason why far
mers should not make good mon
ey now? With wheat at $1.55
per bushel, corn around 81 per
bushel, hogs selling above Sill
per hundred, cattle market good
and strong. and all farm prod
ucts selling at better figures than
for years, it does seem that a
deserved profit should now be
going into the hands of the far
mers. Of course there are many
farmers whose hindsight is bet
ter than their foresight, and
they are bewailing the fact that
they have none of the high
priced products to sell now.
