WHAT CAUSED FOOD SHORTAGE,

Herbert Hoover, U. s. Food Admin istrator, says there have been two principal reasons to account for the present food shortage. First, the "un- kindness of nature" including the late spring, droughts, hurricanes, poor con ,ditions of rainfall, unexpected frosts and periods of intense heat in sections throughout the world.
 Second, he gives reduced produc- rtivity of the soil Tn Europe" Concern ing this, Hoover says: "Tl.!s condi- ton has been brought about by bad management, mskilled work, and lack of fertilizers; and these in turn can be explained by the withdrawal of men from farm and field to army and fac tory. and the employment on the soil of overworked women, unskilled old men and listless prisoners. Further more the vicious submarine has sunk boat after boat filled with nitrates and fertilizers, conspiring to augment the pauperization of the earth, so that seduction in soil productivity was in- evitable."

CROP PRICES AND
 DOLLAR VALUES
Commodity Prices Are High, but crops Are Higher-The Dollar Is
 Cheap.

When is a dollar not dollar2 Re Iative values shift so rapidly these days that a dollar has no definite value It is merely a question of how much of the commodity you want, you can get for the commodity you have to exchange-whether that commodity be labor, live stock, corn or wheat.

ARMIES ARE NEEDED AT HOME.

If this war Is to be won, we shall have to put several armies in the field, the army of soldiers in the trenches, the army of food producers in the fur rows. the women's army of food con- servers, beating back the attacks Of that worId-old camp follower of war famine, and a patriotic army of eivii- ans in the business and political world. - The Banker-Farmer, Oct, 1917.

FARMERS AND THE WORLD WAR.

The farmers tools of production in wartime become of importance second only to the needs of the army itself. Food production Is a patriotic duty, and the farmer Is in the second line of defense. Every effort Is needed to increase production, to feed our armies and allies. Food prices are forced higher because the demand Is in' creased greatly and the supply Is hm- lted.

A bushel of corn will buy more fer tilizer now than it would In 1914. Every purchase must be considered on the basis of relative values rather than dollar values.
 The high quotations for spring fer tilizers have caused many farmers to ask whether it will be possible to use fertilizers at profit next season. The answer to this question may be found by a comparison of the relative pur- chasing power of crops before the war and at the present time.
 Tn 1914 the usual corn fertilizer cost S21 per ton. Today the same fertilizer costs around $32 per ton-an increase of 50 per cent. In 1914 corn was worth about 60 cents per bushel, talk ing the country over. Today 1t sells at not less than S1.30 per bushel, on the farm-more than 100 per cent increase.
 The same calculation could be made for wheat, potatoes, or almost any other crop (eXcepdng in the case ot | those fertilizers containing potash). l Each individual farmer has merely ] to consider whether fertilizers paid
 before the war; if so they will pay 1 even better now.

WHY FERTILIZER PRICES HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the samC food. Six hundred thousand tons of nitrates went to make explosives last year, in the United States alone.
 Sulphuric acid necessary for the manufacture of acid phosphate Is
 normally made from Spanish sul-
 phur ores Submarines have now
 almost entirely cut off this supply.
 Birthstone, used as a substitute source of sulphur, must be trans ported by rail at great expense from Louisiania and Texas, since the government has found 1t neces- sary to commandeer sulphur-carry. ing boats.
 Large quantities of phosphate rock from Florida and Tennessee must now go by rail at high freight ! rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats. Higher labor. machinery, coal and supply costs have caused gen | eral advance in all raw materials.
 varying from 9 to 100 per cent. | Burlap bags which normally cost
 10 cents each, now cost p cents and
 ire scarce at that.
 \ Labor which was plentiful in ! 1914 at $2.00 per day Is now almost \ lnobtainable at S3.50 per day. \ There can be but one answer to \ coalitions such as these; namely \ high-priced fertilizers.

As the time draws near for the Borden Marathon. complaints are heard from dog owners about ths weather which interferes greatly with tra ming of their teams. There will be as many as seven entries for .his race and possibly more. The race will be a wonderful contest. Judging from an outside standpoint the following teams will probably be entered: Fred Ayers team which holds all records except the Sweepstakes. Billy Webb's which is working very fast this eea- son. Harry Riley's which won the Boschen cup. Seppala's and Victor Anderson's teams of Siberians which vii! figure in the contest most surely: Delezene and Bowen's team which on account of the weather is so far ao unknown quantity: Russ Downing's team or young fox hounds. which may make it interesting: Grant Jack sons team of Irish setters which may also cross the starting line; and Fred Vincent who has team of fast sprinters.
