Fixed Guarantee Was Paid.

Sioux City, April 3.-Four hundred
elevators in the northwest are filled
to overlooking with grain and are
compelled to refuse the acceptance
Of further consignments, according
to information coming to the Sioux
City Grain Exchange. Financial con-
gestion Is arising from this situation
that will soon be felt in various lines
Of business, 1t is predicted. The
banks. both city and county, have
reached the limit Of their loaning
capacity 1t Is asserted. Managers
of country elevators in Sioux City
territory say they are unable to
move the stored grain on account Of
lack Of adequate transportation IA
cilities.
Many of the elevators paid more
than the guarantee for wheat last
fall. Banks that made loans to those
concerns are now calling for addi-
tional security. Those who borrow
ed to the limit are now in a perplex-
ing situation.

Farmers Are Not
Wool Profiteers

The Indiana farmer receives $685.
for the wool in an average suit or
clothes large enough for q man
Weighing 175 pounds, according to
Claude Harper, Purdue University
sheep specialist. Mr.. Harper has is
sued a statement declaring farmers
are not prohteering in the sale of
clothing.
"A man who weighs 175 pounds re-
quires 31s yards OF cloth to make a
suit, the weight Of the clothing be-
"Mr. Harpers statement says. THE
average medium weight wool suit is
made Of goods Weighing IA ounces
per yard. At az yards per suit. the
cloth In the entire suit weighs 49
| ounces, or little more than three
pounds. In the manufacture of all
wcoi cloth ii requires IL pounds OF
secured wool to produce a pound of
cloth.
Therefore. considering waste in
| manufa curing. il requires about 81
ounces OF secured WOOL for an aver
age suit of clothes. Most OF the In
diana secured wool Is selling in Bos-
ton from &1.25 TO s1.44 per pound.
This wool scours around so per cent
OF grease and dirt. At s1.44 per
secured pound, this makes wool
worth nine cents per ounce
As So ounces are required for the
entire suit. then the cost Of wool in
the Suits $685."
Mr.. Harper says that II suit is
made of the very best grade of wool,
which is selling at about sLs0 per
secured pound, then the wool in the
suit will cost $7.37. The cost OF
shipping, commission. etc. he de-
clared. Is at least five cents per
pound. which is deducted from the
producers receipts. These suits, he
pointed out, sell at retail all the way
from $40 to 375 and higher.
These figures show the farmer
certainly is not pronteering," said
Mr.. Harper, who also is secretary of
the Indiana Sheep Breeders and
Feeders Association.
