FARMERS DO WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Grow
ers of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 40 Cents Over tho
Fixed Scale Set-World Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

It will be of interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
in Canada will do so well out of the
wheat they grew on western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was fixed price of $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
Son.
Not knowing the price at which it
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board, which Or
ganization handled the whole of the
crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as a min
imum price for No. 1 wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity OF
wheat he delivered. Tie amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders of these certificates Will,
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the guam
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
a bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15 a
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about 100000 will
be distributed among the farmers OF
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference in
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat in Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
ut between So and IS per bushel, was
made recently before d conference Of
western supporters of the government
by DR.. Robert Magill, who was one OF
q deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in IA
vor of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
sia owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
EXPORT. while Australia's acreage
would fall from 1900, 600 to 7,O0O,O 600.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
" no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an
nouncement, though it would be i'm
possible to secure as good price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-
ter. The net result would be that Ca
madam wheat would undoubtedly 60

PLUMB PLAN WANTED

Railroad workers, nearly 100000
in number, have given the admins
tration some worry during the past
week. Now officialdom is able to
breathe easily again. It was afraid
that a general railroad strike would be
called about August l to 10 and that
there would be a sudden flood of light
on the railroad mess. If there is any
thing this Wilson regime don't want
to discuss it is the railroads. Wilson
refused to permit the roads to contin-
ue in public control, and from the day
that he began to unload them by an
nouncing his intention the morale of
the service has gone down and diff
culties of transportation have increas-
ed.
Twenty-Five per cent increase In
wages for the railroad workers is not
much. AS Samuel Gompers points
out, the cost of living has advanced
1859 per cent since 1913, taking the
average of % ordinary commodities
reported by the bureau of labor sta
tistics. Railroad men under the new
wage rates will still be forced to main
tain a lower standard of living than
they had a few years ago. These mil
lions of men are not only dissatisfied;
they are determined to push the Plumb
plan of government ownership and
democratic operation more vigorously
than ever, while at the same time fill
ing with the railroad labor board a
new series of demands for wage in
creases. Their aim in these wage de-
mands is to restore the purchasing
power of the days work that existed
before the war and to establish bet
ter standard of living if possible, while
educating the public to the necessity
for system of railroad operation that
will enlist the enthusiastic co-opera
ton of the railroad workers.

WASHINGTON, D. General ap-
proval is voiced here at the declara-
ton by Admiral Benson, chairman of
the shipping board, that the monopoly
heretofore held by few Atlantic ports
is to be broken up.
The new policy will be to bring
every product which is to be exported
to the nearest tidewater terminal, in
stead of diverting every shipment to
New York.
Bad facilities at New York for load
ing and unloading, due to the conges.
tion there, have been the cause of
enormous losses to farmers as we'll as
to forwarding agents and have steadily
impeded the growth of our merchant
marine.
If the new policy is maintained for
the coming four years western grain
and meats will be shipped abroad
through Philadelphia, Baltimore, Nor
folk, Charleston, Savannah and the
Gulf ports, quite as much as through
New York. Moreover, the right of
the Great Lakes to access to salt wa
ter for grain cargoes is bound to be
emphasized when these Atlantic ports
have shown their value in an increased
ease in shipping.
One of the planks in the La Fol-
lette platform which carried the Wis
consin primaries demanded deep

the Atlantic, so as to give the ports

direct European shipping routes. This
plan is a logical complement to the
decentralizing plan for American ship
ping terminals which Admiral Benson
is putting into effect.
