Casual inquiry among owners of va

mand for land for crop raising pur.

despite the high cost of seed. fertilizer
etc, Evidently the talk about the pro
spective food shortage this fall is hay
ing its effect, which is a very gooc
thing in view of the likelihood that al
that has been said about it is only toe
true Farmers hereabouts are by n,
means immune from the effects of tn.
labor scarcity. In fact, it is so ser
ious that many of them are hard pu
to know what to do. Curtailment o.
crops is imperative but just how it car
best be done is a question that is Civ

this week The Meddler talked with on,
nearby farmer who said he should plan
no more than half what he did las
spring because he could find absolutel,
nobody to help him. And his las

THE DROP IN PRICES.


1t is little early to predict results
from the general reduction in retail
prices that is reported from all sec
tions of the country, but the public
should not place too high hopes upon
it. The reductions are largely seasonal,
| made by retailers after the opening
sales of season 5 goods and the goods
| offered are those that did not sell tol
the earlier purchasers. There is little
expectation that the opening prices of
the next season will be materially low
CT than they were at the last opening
season.
So the present price reductions give
little promise OF permanent relief. They
do not increase the production of nee
essitics. The law of supply and de-
n,and is still effective and until the
productive forces of the country in
crease their labor and production the
demand will exceed the supply and
prices will remain as high as the de-
Hand warrants. The high prices will
be blamed on the retailer but never
thcless he must get a profit or go out
of business The retailer may be de-
! pended upon to pay no more for his
goods than competition compels but
many profits are taken before goods
reach the retailer.
The real problem then is to stop un-
reasonable profits on goods between the
time they leave the producers hands
and are distributed to the retail trade.
The banking business of the country
carrying out the recommendation of
the federal reserve board to curtail
loans on the production of Injuries, and
refusing loans to spectators who hoard
goods for higher prices. If it is true,
az the head of the JAM jelly and pre-
serve manufacturers, says that there
are vast quantities of sugar stored in
this country for the purpose Of incrcas-
ing the prices of sugar, the banks can
quickly prick this speculative bubble
, by calling loans from the persons who
are boarding it. There is more hope
in such move as this than in seasona
reduction of prices.
But even regulation of loans IS no
sufficient to permanently remedy prize
evils There cannot be reductions. il
