WHAT THE FARMERS GET

The agricultural department at Wash
,ington has published a pamphlet on tho
purchasing power OF farm products
which gives some occasion Tor reflec-
"tion. 1t appears that the production OF
the average acre Of wheat in 1909
would buy $50 pounds OF bladcrs' Irvine
and ten years later only lo7 pounds.
In 1909 the wheat from one acre would
. buy e67 pounds of sugar and in 1919
KS pounds OF sugar. In 1909 the wheat
bought 20 pairs Of ovcralls and in 1919
only II pairs Of overalls. Ten years ago
II bought 20 gallons OF linsee" oil and
now II buys only IL gallons OF linseed
oil.

SUPPRESS THE PESS!MlSTS
Proteers Feed on Predictions of Food Shortage Which
Are False Anyhow.
By REV. FRANK HAMPTON FOX

For four years the pessimists have
predicted food shortage and thereby
promoted high prices. The nrst page
Of recent issue of periodical with
wide national circulation gives a star.
Ting array of pcsstmisttc predictions or
food shortage for the coming winter,
timely tip TO the profiteers for them to
begin boarding food for fiSninc prices.
The predictions were based on farm
figures more than two months out OF
date Since they were CompIled weather
conditions have improved small grain
more than so per cent. Granting that
the acreage OF wheat Is somewhat re-
duced the prospects at the present time
promises an excellent yield.
The official estimate places the
amount OF old wheat held by The farm
ers In Oklahoma alone as above 6.OOn.-
nn0 bushels. The ration for other states
Is probably equally great. ono cause
OF this is the fact that the farmers
have been unable 10 get cars TO ship
their grain
Those who arc in positions 70 know
claim that there never was so much old
corn In the cribs at this season or the
year as there is at the present time.
The reduction IN tho price OF cattle
and hogs has kept many farmers from
buying stock TO feed. hence they have
quantities of corn on hand.
suppose that the statements or tho
pessimist concerning the shortage or
grain from the 1920 harvest were true
there is another factor which they have
overlooked. The most pessimisrc pre-
diction that has been published places
the shortage OF wheat at ?50.o0o.OOo
bushels. The year before wartime pro-
hibition practically the use Of grains
for the manufacture OF fermcnted and
distilled liquors lS6.0o0.000 bushels were
used for that purpose in this country.
The food products nsed FOR liquor the
last year that general manufacture was
permitted in the United States agEre-
gated 1000, 900. mo pounds. The amount
OF grain saved for food ia nearly two
and a half times the predicted short
age.
True there is shortage Of farm La
} Dor. but there are two facts that have
been overlooked by the pessimists.
First the farm tractor permits one man
to do the work OF ten with the old
walking pillow. In harvest on the big
wheat ranches Of the west more and
more grain is cut and thrashed land

small farms tho fakncrs and their fam

The prospects for an enormous potato
