A Prediction AS
to Wheat Prices

The young man does not
live today" says the Western
Grain Journal. who will ev-
er see wheat sell below a dollar
a buShel, A great many ex-
pertS doubt if it will ever get
below Sl.25 per bushel for many
years to come. Not only will
the price of wheat remain ex-
cessively high for a great MANY
years, but all products of the
farm will be correspondingly
high, as is always the case.
High food price for many
years to come are now as
certain as the sun rises and sets
as sure as day follows night. It
cannot be otherwise. With mil
lions of the producers in Eu-
rope being killed, leaving
women, children and old men
dependent upon themselves.
Europe will not be SeIf-Sustain-
ing for generations. With mil
lions upon millions of acres of
the finest agricultural lands in
Europe, rendered worthless
through present day war meth
DDS, the task Of crop cultivation
becomes a difficult one.
There are not sufficient ae-
ricultural lands lying idle in all
the universe to make up for the
ruined area of Europe. Even
though the last acre of unoccu-
pied land in this country were
intensely titled, the production
would be insufficient to supply
the demand. AS a consequence
prices of all food products will
run exceptionally high for
years to come"

Getting Stale

/ During the past year this sec
ton of Montana has been del
uged with cheap So-called west
ern performances, known as
StampedeS, Carnivals, Roundup
and the like, managed in the
main by frowSy-dowdy pro-
fessionals who travel from
place to place, coming into
currency the curiosity of the
newer element in our popula-
tion for something wild west
ern." This from the Portland
Live Stock Reporter, pertaining
to county fairs is to the point:
Cheap hurdy-gurdy shows
and games of chance, which we
find at the usual county fair,
serve no purpose whatever and
should be eliminated. In the
average agricultural hall you
will find fine exhibits Of farm
products. and the work of the
children of the county; the barns
contain a goodly showing of
Well-bred live stock worthy of
the closest study. Given a crowd
of 5000 people, 4500 of them will
be congregated around duck
pond" trying to throw three
balls into a tin bucket, in the
hopes of securing a poor duck
for which they have no use.
Other people will be throwing
at niger babies or trying to
ring a cheap 10-cent knife. The
people really do not care to do
these things, but are swayed
by the "bally hoo" of the takers
in charge. These fake concess-
ions have no more right at a
county fair than the cheap
wild west" feature and sooner
or later will put out of business
any agricultural association
that tolerates them.
