substantial advance IN price very
soon, in fact. it advanced 21k cents
just last week.
1t is very uncertain regarding the
Argentine surplus. A recent report
from there states that crops have
suffered materially from want of
rain.
Under date of October 20, a truth
full news dispatch from Buenos
Ayres, the capital of Argentine,
has TINS to say: IAN immediate
bread shortage is threatened unless
the Government, which now holds
practically the entire stock OF wheat
remaining IN the country, releases
this to the mills, according to mill
ers who in general meeting today
voted to make repr resentatlons to
the Government in order to secure
grain.
"The mlllers pointed out that
practically every mill in the country
will be closed down next week un-
less the Government releases 1885,
900 tons of wheat purchased some
time ago from local agencies of
foreign governments.
India is also draught stricken and
is Out of the export game entirely.
Alderman agent who arrived re-
Gently in the United States made
the statement that Germany alone
can use all our surplus wheat as
soon as they can get ships to trans
port it. H
Regarding Bradstreets and Broom
hall, which were quoted by Mr..
Lutz, will state that we cannot con-
slider them reliable authority on
anything pertaining to the interest
OF the farmers. Broomhall the
English authority is under the
thumb OF the English government
and England is using every con-
ceivable scheme and agency possible
to bring down the price of Amer
lean wheat.
Bradstreets is business mans
credit agency and organized busi-
ness and capital wants cheap wheat.
Every farmer should know the
facts as to the available supply, and
probable demand, and if on the
strength of these facts he thinks it
good business to hold, he should be
given the necessary credit to do so.
Every farmer owes 1t to himself
and his fellow worker to lay in his
next years supply of flour right
now, thereby serving twofoId pur-
pose. He will get his -four at a
reasonable price and at the same
time will be boosting the price Of
wheat.
1t is also the duty of every farmer
to affiliate himself with one OF the
American Farmers organizations
all of whom are at the present time
represented by a committee Of Il
men appointed from among then
by the president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, and who
: are now in conference for the pur
pose of devislng some ordrely meth
cd of marketing farm crops.
l cannot believe that the farmers
will use their organizations to force
their demands upon the public, un
less compelled to do so, and we cal
thank our lucky stars that this i
so, for what would be more unfor
tunate to distracted world at thi
time than an Agrarlan Revolution
I IN some form or other.
