W. H.. Lyons ef Sioux Falls, a
member of the legislature, was in
Washington last week advocating to
congress his plan for stabilizing the
price Of farm products. He would
have the government fix minimum
price in advance, for farm products,
the prices he suggests being 1 per
5u5hsi for co:H, ?5c, &c. cats. Sc. 25
for wheat an' So for flax. On the
first of June he would have the gov.
ernment purchase all of the surplus
of these grains at the specified price
This would remove all uncertainty on
the part of the former and would
place it on the government. The far.
mer would not need to study market
conditions to determine what crop to
raise but could raise whatever he
thought would be most profitable at
the guaranteed price. True the Ia
boring men might demand that min.
imum wage should be guaranteed to
them 90 a. to enable them TO pay the
guaranteed price for farm products
but that is question to be settled by
those portions of the country where
wage earners chiefly reside. Farm
ing communities like South Dakota
where farming is the chief industry.
can afford to support such q plan.
If the farmer, the merchant. the
manufacturer, the miner and the
contractor could all be assured in ad.
vance just what profit they could re
alize from their business 1t would be
q verv convenient system, but indus
trial enterprises have always had to
run some risks on market conditions
Az long as production and dema or
both fuctuate we can see no wav ol

State College Agricultural Exten-
sion Report.

Brookings, S. D., Dec. %: What
shall the South Dakota farmer pro.
duce for the coming year?
The above question is answer ed by
M. R. Bsnedict. farm management
specialist in tho extension division at
State college, in the light of present
conditions. as follows:
Hog prices reached their high
point in August, 1919. and bave been
coming down for about one and one
half years. Hog prices usually 60
down for three to four years, and
then ri.e again for three to four
years. We. therefore, have reason
to expect continued drop in the p,i
ces of hogs fer at least another year.
This is likely to be accentuated by
the fact that many cattle feeders are
turning to hogs eince their losses of
last year. This is likely to increase
the supply of hogs, and depress the
price.
-" Cattle roee in price from 1908 to
1919 but were really falling in buy
ing power from 1916 to 1920. as the
prices did not rise as fast as the pri.
ces of other things. We, therefore,
have reason to expect turn upward
in the price of cattle within the next
year or two. This is made more prob
able bv the heavy sales of immature
cattle now going on.
:Wheat acreage was decreased 27
percent this year, and only very
good crop IN the winter wheat bslt
prevented real shortage. If the
price remains low. the acreage is al
most sure to be cut much lower next
year making probability of high
prices
Potatoes are low this year, con.
| dition which is followed about three
years out of four by short crop and
high prices.
"These brief statements indicate
the general rule, that, in planning
next years operations. it is not the
present relative prices that should be
considered. but the probabilities fol
next year.
'The profit of the individual farm
er will depend much on his ability te
keep down production costs. In many
cases it cost SIS per bushel to producs
wheat on South Dakota farms las,
year. cost that was almost sure t.
mean q loss no matter what the price
received. In this case. the problem
is as much one of lowering costs a,
of increasing price.
Few Of these problems can be in
j teiiigenti7 considered without wwii..hhea:: gces

Answer-We regard Island Oil anG

nature Of the companv's business and
Mexico would indicate this. We do not
attempt to say at what prices securi-
ties are good purchases, as many things
may occur to cause prices of the best

United States Steel preferred as good
Investments. Equipment bonds are is

OF the cost of the equipment is raised
IN this way, the remainder being paid
III cash. The bonds are usually issued
in serial form, due annually or semi.
annually. The title to the equipment is
vested in the trustee until the asst in
stallment has been paid. Prudence
bonds pay per cent. The compan,
loans its funds at per cent, and the
average fee of 5 per cent charged on
the making of mortgages is its only
compensation. We regard Prudence
