Threshing Days in Dickinson

"a mistaken idea has gotten out"
says Maurice McAurfe president OF
the Kansas Farmers Union Of Sa-
lima, that farmers are going to get
direct pay for holding their wheat.
on the same basis as the u s. Grain
Corporation has agreed to protect
elevators That is not true"
In conversation with II. ID.
Plazzek following his lecture to the
grain mems meeting, Mr.. McAuliffe
put the question to him directly and
Mr.. Plazzek's answer was: mo, the
farmer will not get 1t directly, but
he win get 1t indirectly, that Is, the
advanced price Of two cents for the
months each of August, September
and October would mean that the
farmers would get higher price for
wheat sold during those months"
"But here is the situation" says
Mr.. McAuliffe, "while 1t was the In
tention of the federal authorities to
induce the farmers to hold their
wheat back for the advanced price.
the grain men are not compelled to
pay the advance, hence 1t is very
doubtful whether the arrangement IL
of any advantage to the farmer at
all. The Grain Corporation could have
made the payment of the advanced
price compulsory, and then the situa-
tion would have been very simple
As 1t is farmers, especially renters,
who want to get their money out Of
their crops, will be very wary or
waiting for the advanced price and
will dump 1t on the market just al
soon as they get 1t threshed."

HELPS THE HOME OWNERS
Building and Loan Association
Makes Fine Showing.

The statement Of the Dickinson
County Building and Loan associa-
ton published today makes a fine
showing for this very helpful insti-
tuition. The big factor back of 1t Is
the assistance it gives to those who
want to build homes instead Of pay
ing rent. Hundreds Of families are
now living in their own homes be-
cause Of the aid that has come thru
the association. 1t has been so
carefully managed and has so sue
cessfully handled the money placed
in its hands for investment that 1t
has the entire confidence Of the com
munity.
Abilene needs fifty new houses
right now and the building and loan
association is in a position to help
those who want to get on the high
road to happiness by owning a
home. The excellent corps Of off
GERS and It's careful manager, ]. e.
Keel, deserve the commendation of
the community for their work in the
towns interest.

Wheat harvest is finished in the
eastern half of the state where
now is in full blast, says
the weekly crop report, issued today
by s. d. Flora, federal meterologist
for Kansas. From half TO three
fourths of the crop is cut in the
western counties, where the grain is
dead ripe and shattering badly.
Little or no threshing has been done
in those counties. In the north cen
tral counties considerable wheat is
not worth cutting and has been
abandoned in the field. The yields
so far threshed generally have been
a disappointment both as to quality
and quantity. Corn generally is
coming along fine, although in the
southern counties, 1t is reaching the
critical stage where 1t is in need OF
more moisture.

The local buyers are getting very
little No. / wheat. Two buyers have
had none; the others, four to ten per
cent. The No. ranges from 8 per
cent to so per cent; No. 3, 30 to so
per cent; No. 4, 10 to 40 per cent
No. 3, 8 to 10 per cent. In general
about half the wheat is No. 3, one
fourth No. 2, IS per cent No. 4 and
very little No. 1. The millers say
the milling quality of the grain IL
good but the low grades cut down
the price. The county average yield

the condition Of corn in Dickinson

THE BUSINESS
 OUTLOOK

The history of American business after the CivI War proved that a period of expansion and prosperity may follow after the destruction and waste of a. great war. While Europe Is now impoverished, reports are al ready given out of great orders for materials that they will place in this country. They will buy great quanti- ties of food. These demands will go far to keep the farms and factories busy.
 Up to April, 1917, the United States was growing rich on the war. Enor- nous quantities of food and muni- tions were shipped across. America in effect swapped it's supplies in re turn for the cancellation of vast debts owed by it's various enterprises to Europe. Thus the war turned the United States from a debtor to a creditor nation. And all through the period after this country entered the war, it kept shipping great quantities of supplies to it's allies and the neu- trals, from which a constant stream of wealth is still flowing in.
 Furthermore people lived more simply during the war period and cut down many lines of expenditure \ great deal of money was put into Lib erty bonds that used to go to luxuries.
 National wealth is not much affect ed by the war debt. If a mans own personal share of that debt is s1.OOD. and if while the debt was being in cured he made savings of S1,OOO in bonds, he is neither poorer nor rich Ter. Paying the debt would be simply paying the money from one pocket to another,
 It seems a fair judgment that the war period of 1914-1918 has not i'm Poverished the United States at all. There is probably more wealth In the country than at the beginning of the persAd. The total balance of property over all debts is probably greater than tSen. If so. there is more capital for productive enterprises and for the en- ployment of labor.
