BRIGHT DAYS
AHEAD FOR
THE FARMER
Congress Asked to Guarantee
Wheat Price-Bean Crop
Sure to Be Sold

OF all the producers the farmer Is
going to find himself in the best po-
sition financially during the period OF
readjustment, according to reports
coming out OF Washington from day
to day. The United States Food Ad-
ministration the other day asked Con-
gress to appropriate $3.50, 600, 900 to
maintain the price Of wheat at $3.50,
a figure guaranteed by the Government
for the 1919 wheat crop prior to the
ending Of hostilities. II seem like
ly that the Food Administration will
father other legislation and DEGREES
which will protect the farmer against
lowering prices.
Following hard upon that announce
ment the California Food Administers
ton made public the fact that the Gov
eminent is going to purchase virtually
the entire bean crop Of the state for
the army and navy. The Government
has been purchasing about 5000 tons
of beans a month at a higher figure
than beans ever brought before the
war.
The average price Of wheat to the
farmer on July 1, 1914, was 76.9 cents
per bushel. In other words the Gov
eminent guaranteed to the wheat rails
er for a period Of two years an adj
vance of 1874 per cent over what his
product brought in normal times.
Competent authorities estimate that
should the Government withdraw Its
guarantee now that the fighting is
over, wheat would drop to at least
s1.35 per bushel and probably lower.
In the light of all this the Govern
ment expects the farmer to participate
more than ever in the coming Victory
Liberty Loan.

SAVING SOCIETIES

New York Thrift Clubs Meet Success,
Says Times

The government of the United
States is doing something 1t never
did before-organizing societies. The
Treasury Department has recommend
ed and is furthering the formation
Of Thrift Clubs and War Savings
Stamp societies In every shop, office,
store and industry in the land, not to
mention the thousands of such clubs
already organized among the school
children of the nation.
AS an indication of the tremendous
underlying Importance of this new
activity Of the government to make
America a nation of savers and In
vestors, the New York Times In its
issue OF January IA devotes a whole
column OF its financial page to a story
Of the initiation of Thrift Clubs among
the employees of New York banks and
the instant success of the idea. The
Times says:
The Thrift Club campaign for the
sale OF Stamps and Certificates In the
downtown banks has brought q re-
