WHEAT Farmers
NOT GETTING
llgGH SYMPATHY.
Have Been Having a Pref

Several Years

icHacAGo. Nov. 3O.-Few tears
nave ben shed for the farmer be-
cause his roseate wheat bubble
burst and wheat prices went to-
boggantng.
Farmers claim sympathy is due
them. Apparently there isn't any
uuestion that they have had to sell
theft wheat for les than 1t cost hem
! Is grow it.
ant the soft pedal is being put on
the prosperity they enjoyed for sew
erals Iyears past. Bankers and au'
fornobfle manufacturers say the
farmer dived into the postwar
spending swim the same as the city
man did.
Bankers point to the increased
loans farmers made, not only legiti-
mate loans they needed for actual
profit, but loans for every purpose
based on the theory that war prices
would continue and profits keep on
coming. Secretary OF Agriculture
Meredith sa$s farmers Of the ma.

bnt. he says. this is less than losses
sustained by the manufacturers,
wholesalers and merchants.
Farmers on "strlke."
There has been much speculation
and worry over the movement be-
gun among farmers in Kansas ana
Oklahoma during October to hold
back wheat until the price rebounds
toS$8 a bushel.
"a survey fails to determine just
how much wheat is being held. c.

slfeYes the effect of the hold-bacK
will be seriously felt within 60
days.
Travelling buyers bring stories OF
kansas farmers using labor's weap-
on OF picketing to check sales OF
wheat by neighbors aftliced with
6pIdsfeet.
Hyde, told me country banks i'm
mediately Joined the concerted
move to- force out wheat holdings
BY refusing to renew farm paper
that carried wheat as security.
That bankers realized the farmers
Ind their dander up is indicated by
the action OF the Kansas State
Bankers association meeting in To-
peka Nov. 10. in deciding only in
exceptional cases to force farmers
ito nquidate loans"
VIII Sell at So.
Kansas City travelling grain
agents predict farmers who are
holdtng out will sell freely when
wheat is at 81.
Losses sustained by wheat grow
ers are difficult to compute because
cost of production varies according
to the locality, due to price of land,
yield per acre, railroad rates, labor
and other features.
Surveys by agricultural colleges
and farm unions in the various
states give these results
This year 1t cost S2.75 n bushel
to produce wheat in North Dakota,
$2.70 in Oklahoma, $1.SS In Iowa.
Z S2;26 In Missouri and So or more in
the Pacific northwest.
Inssections of the northwest, pro-
ducihg only 20 per cent of the ma
tion's crop, wheat was produced for
as low aS $3.50 a bushe Farmers
complain that the market price
should reflect, not the cost Of pro-
ductng small percentage. but the
cost price Of at least IS per cent OF
the crop. Apparently It is on this
basis that the Department of Agri-
culture says the farmer should get
S2.65 a bushel to make fair profit.

CHAP WHO WAS WITTY,
BUT NO GOLFER.

Ono upon a time, before Pinehurst
had awakened to a reaihGe ton Of its
possibilities. a certain Wit came back
North from the Carolina resort and
dismissed 1t with an epigram-"Golf
or Chloroform!" That chap was not
golfer. He was in thorough agree
ment with Percy Proctor's well known
dictum to the effect that gold har-
dens the muscles and softens the
brain" He is not a golfer now, But
II just happens that he has become
one OF Pinehurst's most inveterate
habitues and puts in nearly all the
winter months down there.
The answer IL that while Pinehurst
Is more than ever the winter golnng
center of the country, IT has become
also the recognized railying ground
for all who care for outdoor life.
Trapshooting for men and rife
contests for women is general ana
at its best. Tennis, riding and mo-
toring. horse racing. field trials and
dog shows. gymkhanas and horse
shows. paper chases. canoeing, aero
planning and golf unlimited are
among the sports now Identified
with the daily life of Pinehurst.

gress Hall will be at home infor-
mally the first and third Mondays

MRS. WOOD HEARS
ALL GOOD CONCERTS.

Mrs. Wood is a great music lover,
too. and Is always to be seen at the
good concerts. Washington society
had an unusual number of opportuni-
ties to hear good music last week. The
week opened with the second Of the
series OF Concert Diplomatiques last
Sunday at the Belasco. which attract
ed as big. smart and enthusiastic an
audience as did the first concert. The
Chamber Music Society. which is
managing those concerts. also gave a
delightful chamber music concert at
Wardman Park Friday afternoon. In
spite Of the bad weather, the world
and his wife and then some wended
their way out to Wardman and they
were well rewarded for their pains; 1t
was a charming affair. Mrs. George

very beautiful New Orleans girl, Alice

lieve 1t was he who organised the
Riding Club and was greatly respon-
sible for the first Washington horse
show. His wife died some eight or
ten years ago, but he still has his

Unfortunate investments wiped
away the greater part of his share

was perhaps the most brilliant mar
rage in the entire Emo family. While
visiting her aunt, Mrs. Wood. in

time after, 1892 to be exact, they
were married. Lord tombstone has
