THE BEST THING SAID ON $3.50 WHEAT

THE BEST THING SAID ON $3.50 WHEAT
The current issue of Farm, Stock and Home con-
tains the best editorial yet published advocating $3.50
wheat for 1919.
The first showing is that it costs substantially SIS
to raise wheat.
The next point is that the country wants wheat,
wheat and more wheat, and in order to get it must
is not likely to yield the necessary IA bushels
to yield profit.
Therefore Farm, Stock and Home would have the
government deal with wheat raising with every
other regulated industry where greatly increased
ducon has been necessary and that method has been
to set the price at figure which would keep the less
efficient plants producing tho the efficient plants
thereby made large profit but leaving the profits to
be reached by profits tax.
The farmer has very nearly the expense for
sections of the country when seeding is late
the farmer considers himself fortunate to 10 bushels
Yet at $500 bushe1 this not profitable but the
country wants that crop just the Why then
treat the farmer just the other industries
treated and put the price figure that will stimulate
production and then any farmer be fortunate
to get big crop which yields extortonate profit,
then treat him the 'low-cost" manufacturing
plants treated, and let him pay profits
In this way the country will be backing up the
in his eternal gamble with the weather. and all the other
elements of chance in wheat production.
