Under the tonic Of fixed price

the efforts Of the county agents
and by the millers OF the northwest
the 1919 acreage was increased more

$50 millions in sight; but alas for
human hopes-we harvested but 2O3
millions, most Of it being very poor.
Eighty per cent has already been
used, leaving but a few millions Tor

crying for bread.
The farmer, however, says: II am

my wheat or won't grow it."
He means business. It is up to US
to pay the farmer prices which will
make him a profit, so that he can
buy the goods for which we are soak

The situation is serious. We will
have no guaranteed price for the
1920 crop, but the demand will ex-
coed the supply.
Arrangements are now being made
with the Canadian Grain Commission
to answer our call for good Marquis
seed wheat, but we must be up and

WAGNER GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Grain markets
unsettled on let up in export demand
and reports of oats being resold. Lat
er news shows $4,000 Canadian oats
resold. Larger corn receipts are sug-
gested. The problem Of how to get
export sales Of rye, wheat and oats
across the seas Is presented. The
west cannot guarantee delivery until
March; 1t is near February and when
Ave months of the crop season will
be gone. United States all grain ex-
ports are way below former ideas and
looks as II it will be too late to clean
out grain surplus easily. The renewal
Of European war fears on top of the
enormous debts is not bullish. All
grains are considered bulge sale.

Some years ago, during scarcity
of tobacco, an effort was made in
Scotland to raise this plant, and since
then other attempts have been made,
as it seems that the soil and climate
are adapted for such crop, but the
degree of success attending these eff
forts has been very Indifferent.

BEAUTY OF AUTOMOBILES
TRACED THROUGH YEARS

In times past when motorcal
maker occasionally eliminated iron
ais body lines an awkward angle o.
fussy curve. his car was Judged tC
be more beautiful than before And
OF course. it did become by this clean
lng-up process more agreeable TO TN
eye. and therefore more beautiful.
But there is a positive in beauty a;
we'll as a negative. and the mere elm
nation OF iarring lines never accom-
plishes as much toward producing ar
tistlcally beautiful cars as can be ac-
complished when the maker gets the
right point Of view.
That point Of view must recognize
thar the m0torcar Is not a horse-drawH
nuvry or a marine vessel or an air
plane. but IS an entity OF Itself with
peculiar necessities and possibilities
lnil car builder gets that idea and

cars having a makeshift look
All early ears were makeshifts, en-
phatically. The first cars were neces-
sarily ',hDrseless vehicles differing
from other road vehicles Of the time
in appearance only because no horses
drew them along.
But gradually, when horses scared
less at motor vehicles 70 began to
dawn on car makers that the engine
did not belong under the BODY, be-
cause thus placed IL was inaccessible
The first big change, therefore, was
that Of putting the engine In front
0f the drivers seat. This gave the de-
sired accessibility. and also it gave the
car a new balance that made driN ing
safer by reducing the danger Of skid
ding.
Then when engines began TO develop
real horsepower and speed, cars need
ed something that slow-movlng horse
vehicles had not required-the glass
front or windshield, which ranks as
The first real invention in tho prog
ress Of body making.
But in addition to that distinction
and besides protecting The faces OF the
driver and passengers from wind and
weather, the glass front did something
else. II was a distinct line Of demar-
cation between that part Of the We
hicle devoted to the power plant and
that part provided for passengers. The.
m0torcar was then more than ever
