TEACHING THE FARMERS.

you cannot eat your cake and have
it, too is an old saying that has many
practical applications. Recently the
department of agriculture urged farm
ers not to kill their young live stock
but to raise the animals to maturity
so that the supply Of meat shall be
greater. The only reason farmers had
been killing stock while young was
because they found that practice more
profitable than feeding the stock un-
til it had put on more weight.
Later, people were urged to eat
more corn in order to conserve the
supply of wheat. but now people find
wheat a cheaper food than corn, and
it is estimated that in Oklahoma alone
100000 bushels of wheat will be fed
to live stock this fall. In other states
the feed that is deemed cheapest will
be used. regardless of the protests of
people who are not and never have
been engaged in the production of
either live stock or the feed with
which they are to be grown and fat
tened.
We cannot raise stock and also save
the feed. Price fixing and food con-
troll may make some minor variations
in food production and consumption
but there probably will not be any
material deviation from the usual eff
fects OF supply and demand

THE COAL SITUATION.

The Black Diamond, the official or
gan of the coal industry, in its issue of
Saturday, sized up the coal situation in
the nation as follows:
There are mines enough to produce
all the coal that is needed. There NAV
be cars enough to haul the coal but
there aren't engines enough to maneu.
yer the cars. Instead of getting more
engines the production of the factories
has been sent abroad and home de-
liveries have been postponed. perhaDs.
until after the winter is over. Mean,
While the railroads are trying to get
along without engines by slowing dowr
the movement of trains and increas-
ing the load on each locomotive. They
have done this hoping that the DELAY
in cars on cross country would be
made up by faster loading and unload
ing of cars at destina ton.
For other relief the government is
depending on that which will come bv
the closing of the lake season OF navi-
cation about three weeks hence. Ex-
pectations in this direction are exap-
gerated because the lake tonnage
amounts to no more than 100000
! tons month and that will not relieve
completely the situation.
Meanwhile the east is on short "a
tons of coal with danger threatenins
every minute that the mines will be
closed down by a strike. Some rnines
are already closed because they cans
not operate at the presidents prices
and the recent attempt to readjus
! prices did not include the important
| districts No indication has come from
! washington as to what further price
readjustment will take place that will
restore these mines to productive
! capacity. In the west the supply OF
| eastern coal has been shut off by rail.
I road difficulties and the supply OF
western coal has been shut off by &

! dangerous position, duplicating II
