Bumper Corn Crop Will Prove
Economic Relief Says Hoover

rms crop is not only plentiful. but
will be sold at reasonable price. The
cost OF corn is dropping every day In
proportion to the cheapness Of corn
TO the farmers we shall have reflected
lower prices Of such commodities as
milk and meat. ono Of the delays in
the movement Of the corn crop has
been the shortage Of cars.
Corn is really one half Of our food
and This years crop of approximately
three and quarter billion bushels is
the certain economic remedy for high
prices
AS TO the regulation Of prices Of all
commodities by the government. Mr.
Hoover said that either prices must
be regulated or there must he con-
unuous wage increase and added:
In other words, wages must as
cend, according to the prices of the
necessities of life. | mean by that that
the nigh cost Of living must stop or
We must have a continuous ascending
wage scale. A continuous increase In
wages usually undcimines national ef-
ficiency. and of the two evils, il. is
evident that we must make an effort
to regulate the prices"
