DROP IN PRICE OF METAL
 IS. NOW PREDICTED

The Engineering and Mining Jour nal in last weeks issue sees a con- siderable drop in prices and an un- cel tain market for all base metals i'll the readiustment from war prices to a period when the industries of reace can absorb the output of such metals as copper, lead and zinc and others. That authority says such revision, even downward, in prices is to be welcomed and anything that rcstpones the day that is to lead to the entire elimination of interference and restoration o free markets the longer and more troublesome will be the period of readjustment.
 Among the major metals, the cop per situation is approaching an awk- ward stage, according to the same authority, Aggravated by the mis- chevious agreement with the war in dustries board to maintain produc- ton and among producers to maintain an asking price which they cannot get and abolishing market and pro- ! ducing a mounting financial burden. | There now is said to be S00,0OO, 900 pounds of copper already produced in the face of the depreciating demand. Australia and Japan have stocks, l Great Britain does not seem to need env and France may buy elsewhere than in the United States.
 The same authority says lead manu- lecturers are experiencing uneXpect- ed cancellations of orders and the metal is accommodating in the hands of producers. The reduction of price by the producers to 7.05 cents did not stimulate much buying, but they are facing facts by curtailing output both in the United. States and Mexico. The supply of metal which is to go to Europe is said to be a source of wor. " as is~the rise in the London price i which is the basis on which some Mexican ore was bought.
 As to zinc, it has had a free market the article says, and is less d.s turbed by the situation, says the Journal. However, high grade zinc is said to be increasing in supp'v Great Britain is reported well sup r'ied and Frances possible immedi ate need is said to be what is keepine the price up. Zinc mining is said by some authorities to be unprofitable in Japan, with greatly reduced output
 n Joplin district it is also reported unavoidable and production has beer crrtai'ed. Western producers are having difficulty in selling ores tc the overstocked sme'ters.
 According to reports the bottom seems to be entirely out of the mar ket for manganese, tungsten. chrome i nvrite, etc, and some others, as the manufacturers are overstocked ol only taking what they have contracted fer

One motor truck operating between
several towns can carry all of their
products and release all OF the teams

Sam to devote his energies to the
long distance haul.
The truck cuts down the number OF
horses kept by, the farmer. reduces
the heavy cost OF winter feeding and
finally by reducing forage raised. re
leases labor for work on acreage de-
voted to supplying human wants.
1t will be said that the roads are
not heavy enough for the trucks. They
are not now but 1t has been shown
that money expended on roads is an
Investment that pays many times the
principal In reduced transportation

These statements are not the uncrit-

They come direct from Herbert c.
Hoover, United States Food Admins
traitor and the greatest authority on
food conditions today.
Upon the American farmer rests the
task of feeding not alone America but
out army and navy and to a large ex
tent our allies and neutral nations.
Every channel by which he may move
his products should be opened to him
and every possible aid extended.
The railroads alone are unequal to
the task and every increasing por-
tion OF their tonnage must be devoted
to transportation Of war supplies.

and II the war were to stop tomorrow
the railroads would still be taxed to
their utmost limit and would be un-
able to handle all Of the transporta-
tion alone.
This handicap would be serious
enough for the farmer were It all,
But II is not. The farmer is the only
producer who carries his own wares
to market today. To do 1t he must
neglect his farm when. he IL most
needed there. Under ordinary condi-
lions this method Is wrong. To-day

methods work an injustice to him. a
crime against humanity.
So important is this subject that II
