Next Years Food Prices

AS far as food is concerned
next year is likely to be more of
period of reconstruction than this
year has been, says the New York
Commercial. There will be no
more guaranteed prices for wheat,
nor will there be the requirement
or incentive for such large crop
as that now being harvested. 1t
is not likely that it will be possi-
BILE to move the present crop up
to the last bushel, but, on the con-
trary, the carryover will undoubt-
edly be so large as to be consid
cradle factor. Meantime the Eur
opean countries will be getting
back into their agricultural stride
so that their important require
ments will be reduced. Therefore
unless labor and other costs are
lower next year the farmer will
have difficulty in marketing his
wheat crop at profit. With this
in contemplation he is likely to
cut the acreage in favor of corn
and other crops.
Canned goods, including can
ned meats, should be cheaper. The
price of tin will return to a nor
NAL basis, if not to the same low
level as formerly, while materials
needed in packing but made
scarce by war requirements will
again be in plentiful supply. Here
again the labor cost will have to
be reckoned with, but with the
army demobilized it's scarcity will,
in some measure at least, have
been relieved.
Meat is already cheaper at
wholesale, altho retailers are not
yet letting their customers in on
it. Meat animals are in greater
supply than ever due to the speed
ing up of production under the
stimulus of high prices and the
reduction in consumption due to
the same cause. A pre-war basis,
however, cannot be attained in
any direction until labor costs are
reduced. Labor cannot accept
lower wages while foodstuffs are
high, and not then if it can help
it. We have been travelling around
in a circle, or more properly
a spiral, for a long time. Perhaps
we may see its direction reversed.
