FARMER PAYS
WAR PRICES
Farm Products Reduced But This
Does Not Benefit TiIlers Of the
Soil

The tendency to lower prices PAID
for farm products, while war prices
are maintained on products the far
mer has to buy, was declared to be
the cause of present dissatisfaction
that might lead to far reaching econ
omic results by Dean II. L. Russell
of the University of Wisconsin col
lege of Agriculture.
Unless the condition is speedily
remedied the farmer will be further
discouraged and will have greater dis
couraged and will have greater dis
trust of the economic system which
permits this situation to continue the
dean says. His specific proposal az ,
remedy is for business men of Wis
lconsin to get into closer touch with
agriculture.
eff we permit agriculture to decline
food costs will of necessity mount and
our industrial life will be built upon
a very shaky foundation" he said
Manufacturing and business are best
off in areas of food surplus We have
it within our power to keep Wiscon-
sin out of the food deficit class"
To establish his contention the dean
listed the costs of typical farm prod
ucts and of other commodities. Corn
he says, is selling at 1876 per cent or
the pre-war level. Oats are somewhat
above the pre-war basis, with hogs
reaching 1914 per cent In contrast. it
is pointed out, lumber is 228 per cent
of the pre-war cost pig iron 324 per
cent, crude petroleum $50 per cent,
coke $40 per cent and manufactured
articles holding level of like pro-
portion.
The program Of Dean Russell for de-
velopment of Wisconsin agriculture is
three-fold.
The further cutting out of waste
land disease.
Doing away with unnecessary costs
of distribution
Supporting production.

suffering and sorrow and desolation
but 1t surely and steadily impairs the
