Of capital caused by the war, re-
sulting in low production as COM
pared with the wants of the popu-
lation, and that a remedy must be
applied here.
Agricultural Conditions.
The crops are going to be a very
important factor in the situation
this year, and in this country the
prospects at this time are none too
good. The spring has been cold
and backward. making a late start
fer the small grains and cotton.
The government report on winter
wheat was quite unfavorable, in
dicating a crop of $4,000. 600 BUSH
els, or more than 100000 600 bush-
els under last years. Reports from
the spring wheat sections of a prob
able reduction OF acreage has caus-
ed the Department of Agriculture
to issue a statement urging farm
ers to revise their plans and SOW
more literally, on account Of the
low condition of the fall-sown crop,
and the prospect that the foreign
demand will continue heavy. Euro
pean crops are reported as promis-
ing well, but 1t must be remember
ed that before the war Russia sup
piled a large part of the wheat i'm
ports of western Europe and there
Is little prospect of a renewal of
shipments from Russia.
Grain and Produce Higher.
The grain and produce markets
have all been in an abnormal state
during the past month. owing to
the strike of railway employees, and
transportation has been an impor-
tant factor in. the situation ever
since last years crop was ready for
market. At no time have the rail-
roads been able to furnish cars
'enough to even take good care of
the consumptiver demand, to say
nothing Of accomplishing the ac-
customed stocks at the central mar
kets. Grain prices have ruled high
er for cash delivery than for the
futures, which Is the reverse of the
normal condition. The effect has
been to finally cause such rise
that the government is making an
investigation of the corn market to
see IL the ability to move supplies
from the country has the same ef-
fects as corner, and promotes
cornering operations
! All Of the grains have sold during
April at new high records on the
crop, corn being mp about 30 cents
bushei, wheat on good grades
about the same and oats is to 20.
No. Northern wheat in Chicago
has sold as high as 1928. The
country elevators are full, and the
farmers, who have large stocks
which they cannot dispose Of, are
only irritated by reading Of the high
prices which they are unable to OBJ
tain. Moreover. the high quotations
for corn mako them still more ais
The Washington herald., 1920-05-03

the price 60 high enough to bring
the demand down into balance with
the supply, and this method has the
merit of providing an ultimate
remedy for the shortage. The plant
ers of Cuba are investing their big
profits in the enlargement of their
plantations. and the European pro-
ducers are making strenuous efforts
to get back into their old stride.
All around the Caribbean, and in
every country where sugar is a
possible crop there is activity look
ing toward greater production.
The high prices are not only sup
plying the inducement to greater
production, but supplying the cap
ital required. Under no other con-
ditions than those which exist could
increased production be so rapidly
accomplished.
The situation might be much re-
lieved by reducing the consump-
ton in candy and drinks, which
has greatly increased in the last
few years.
Labor Leaving the Farms.
The most serious feature of the
agricultural situation is the con-
tinued loss Of labor from the farms.
The Department Of Agriculture on
the basis Of reports from all sec
tions of the country estimates a re-
duction of IL per cent in hired Ia
Dor from a year ago and that the
amount of hired labor is only 72
per cent of what 1t was before the
war. The rise OF wages and the
shorter hours of labor in the town
industries are accountable for this
constant drain.
1t does not require an argument
to convince any thoughtful person
that this drift away from agricui-
ture to the town industries, is the
result Of artificial gconditi6ns and

satisfied with the prices which are
ruling for fat cattle and hogs, as all
feeding operations show heavy
losses under the comparison. Prac-
tically all cattle marketed in the
past winter have made losses for
the owners, basing the calculation
on the value of corn consumed, and
even the hog crop has been so un-
satisfactory that, according to re-
ports, production will be consider
ably reduced this year
Cotton Crop Prospects.
The, planting season Is a month or
moro late, which. with a shortage
Of labor, Is unpromising for acreage.
The weather In the Eastern part of
the territory has been cold and
rainy. while Texas is suffering from
drought. The annual conference of
cotton producers, held at MontEom-
cry last month, decided that owing
to the short supply Of labor IL was
unnecessary to pass any resolution
for limiting acreage, but declared
in favor Of holding cotton for 60
cents per pound, Bankers are urg-
