MACHINERY PRICES
STILL GOING UP
Farmers Must Pay Increased
Costs Regardless of Set
Price on Wheat.

While the farmers have accepted
the set price on their 1918 crop of
wheat and gone right ahead prepar-
ing to raise the largest amount of
grain ever grown in the history Of
the country, advances have been
steadily made in the things they will
have to buy, so that the purchasing
price of a bushel of wheat will take
another shrinkage by the time the
season is over
1ndisputable evidence is being fur
nished the federal trade commission
OF a general raise in the price of all
machinery and supplies needed on
the farm for the season of 1918, and
the commission is asked to. take ac-
ton to protect the farmers from this
unnecessary exploitation.
Want Prices On Commodities liked.
Senator Curtis of Kansas made an
appeal On the floor Of the senate the
other day for a spirit of fairness with
relation to the things the farmer has
to buy and sell. He wanted some
plan provided where the farmer,
whose wheat prices has been fixed,
could have protection as we'll in the
quantity of machinery he is required
to buy this spring.
He called attention to an exchange
of letters between Ed HocKaday of
Oklahoma, and Victor Murdoch, OF
the Federal Trade commission. Hook
aday is n of the largest machinery
dealers in the south, owning several
large stores throughout that section.
He charged in his letter that the
manufacturers were making unjust
advances in prices on machinery and
farm supplies, and Mr.. Murdoch
wrote and asked him if he could give
specific information.
Concerns Are All Named.
Hockaday responded with a list of
the firms who are raising prices over
those of a year ago and named
enough direct instances to satisfy the
0 curious. He mentioned the
n Deere Plow Co., Emerson-Brant-
lngham Co., Rock Island Plow Co.,
International Harvester Co., Oliver
Plow Co., Parlin & Orendorff Plow
Co. In 1916 they put on a small ad.
vance of 10 per cent or Is per cent;
in the early part of 1917 they made
several advances, and later they put
on % or 30 per cent more.
Fol instance, let us take a gang
plow weighing 700 pounds, which dur
Ing 1916 cost $53 to SIS. The price
is 500 to $1o5 now, and the same
old * is still the limit. Take a
~seven-foot wheat binder, including
tongue truck and transport. In 1915
the retailer paid $120. In the fall of
1916 1t advanced $40. In the spring
OF 1917 there was another advance
OF SIS, and last fall there was a s57
advance, making a total Of $S3 and
bringing the cost to 1908. This is 70
per cent.
It is now up to Federal Trade
commission to act and act soon.
