should Control Food Prices

While loyal Americans all over
the land have been uniting for the
past several weeks in the gigantic
patriotic effort to bring agricultural
food production to a maximum this
year. comparatively little has been
said or thought OF what might hap
pen to the farmer who produces food
products II the war, because OF
which this great campaign for pro-
duction is being undertaken. should
end suddenly before crops are sold.
OF course the over-heated pulse
OF the wsr-weary world would throb
with such a spontaneous burst of Joy
as II has prehaps never felt before
II the war should come to an end
this summer. But such a feeling
might not be unmixed with regret on
the part OF the farmer who has put
all his surplus cash and perhaps
some borrowed money into big crops
this year: for the sudden ending
OF the world war would inevitably
bring a disastrous drop in food prices
unless far-reaching steps had been
taken in advance to insure against
the speculative panic that the open
Ing OF peace negotiations would be
certain to bring
The State Board OF Immigration
has been doing all in its power to
to increase agricultural production
In Colorado this year. At the same
time the board has not been unmind-
full OF the possible heavy loss to
farmers II prices are not insured
against a sudden drop The question
, OF some sort OF government, control
OF prices for period at the close
OF the war has been taken up with
Colorado members OF Congress. and
II Is practically certain that means
will be provided to insure food grow
ers against loss from speculative
fluctuations in the market
For the protection OF farmers in
new states like Colorado such reg

at least two years. Thousands OF
farmers In this state are breaking
new land this year and putting in
crops. realizing tina, they can not
possibly get the yield the first year
that will pay them any considerable
return on their labor. Their only
hope of profits is in the crop they
will produce In 1918. after their new
