We Would Rather Be
Americans.

How would you like to be a
wheat farmer in Australia or a
corn grower in Argentine? The
Food Administration reports that
nearly 800 bushels of wheat are
stored in Austr. ia. There are
no ships to move it and therefore
no market for it. The govern
ment has guaranteed a price of
SO cents per bushel for it and the
commonwealth has added &c,
mai ing total of 90 cents TO the
producer. In Argentine there is
dc market for corn. and many
farmers are disposing of it Tor
fuel at 40 cents per bushsl. AT
that. however it would be better
to be a farmer in Argentine OF
Australia than to be one n r Is
STA where the Germans would
take your wheat and net ever
say thank you
No thanks, We are glad to bs
American and We are not go
ing to get over being glad either
