FARMERS PRoFiTEERS.

With the ever advancing price OF
wheat the price of -four has gone
higher. Wheat is selling at as much
as a dollar a bushel above the price
guarantee of $2.25 bushel 1t will
probably be even higher. Some grades
have sold at Duluth for as much as
$40 bushel.
! This all goes TO sustain the conten-
ton Of The Herald that the guarantee
price OF $2.25 on the farmers wheat
was made the maximum price and not
the minimum for his product. But
for the food administration wheat
would have sold al three 10 four dol
lara during the war and -four would
have heen not less than $25 q barrel.
People are beginning to appreciate
the great service that the food admin.
istrati0n performed.
The aeitators who rail at the farm
crs as "proliieers" and blame them,
with The high cost of living should
remember that their great staple pro,
ducts wheat and hogs. were sold dur

Hops.

yB II Il
Hopsk are grown III a number OF
states. In the central and northern
part Of the state Of New York many
farmers make a speciality Of their
growth. The yield is from 700 to- 800
pounds the acre in that state, but on
the Pacific coast, where most Of the
hops consumed here are grown, the
yield is between 1000 and 1900
pounds per acre. Oregon produces
more hops than any other state in the:
Union. BY far the greater part Of the
hops raised have been consumed in
the breweries Of the country, but they
are also used in pharmaceutical prep
arations., The present one-half Of 1
per cent beer contains hops, but not
in such large quantities as in beers
Of the larger alcoholic content. And
then. it is not likely that the kind Of
beez permitted under the prohibitory
law will appeal largely to the drinkers
of old-time beer. 1t seems certain
that the demand for hops will fall of
greatly.

Coal Gas as Automobile Fuel.

In the course of the world war many
motor vehicles were operated in Eng
land with coal gas because of the
scarcity of gasoline. The gas was con-
tanned in collapsible bags made of rub
berized balloon fabric. At. present,
however, compressed gas in steel cylln-
ders is being tried. 1t is stated that
the gas is forced in to pressures as
high as $3.50 pounds per square inch.
The cost Of compression is stated to
vary between 40 and Is cents per 1000
cubic feet of free. gas, and the cost as
fuel in the engine is equivalent to a
cost of - cents per gallon on the liquid
fuel replaced.-Scientific American.
