Reed in the investigation going on in
Washington regarding sugar and coal
shortage. Senator Reed is Hoover's
bitter enemy This high official did
all he could to block the legislation
which made Hoover and his depart
ment possible for the American peo-
pie. Senator Reed has been rather
slow 20 hear Hoover's testimony an all,
but the time came and when the sena-
tor very sharply querried Mr.. Hoover
regarding authority to fix prices of
wheat the answer that came was a
good one and yet the biggest thing
that has come OUT of the investigation
Mr.. Hoover declared that the Ameri
can farmer had more for his wheat
since the prices were fixed than ever
before, and at the same time the con
sumner has bought his bread at a low
er price than that existing before the
government went into the business
of price fixing This is an argument
that Senator Reed and the other big
capitalists will have to meet with
something stronger than they have as
yet offered.
Common admiration for Herbert
Hoover from one side of the country
to the other grows every day. Those
who watch his movements in the mat
ter of knocking the greedy profiteers
loose have enough to entertain them
until late evenings as they read of
the various Incidents connected with
the administration.
OF course, what he is doing is going
with those who are unwilling to do
business in food commodities at rea-

run so smoothly as not to get into
some profiteer's plans and upset them
And it might be futher stated that
Hoover would be almost out of the hui
man element were he to run the great
enterprise which is depending upon
him and make nc mistakes. 1t is very
probable that Innocent suffers are
made here and there through the
strong determination of the food adj
ministration not to let the profiteers
run away with the food commodities.
But the administration of the de-
partment under Mr.. Hoover has not
been severe. If anything it has been
lax in the enforcement of the regula-
lions intended.
1t can be said with great fairness
that this department has done won

AGRICULTURE AS A BUSINESS

of certain staples may be available to

timated value of the 1917 products
based on October l figures, is $21 ,612,

The total invested capital in farm
