terly fought game staged on the Y.

and also playing a dashing floor
game. Hanson occupied guarding

ton to playing a strong defensive
game, made one of the Dry Dock
combinations four field goals.
"Blackie'' Regan was high man for
the Dry Dock team in field score,
making three OF the Dry Dock teams
four double counters.
The going in this contest was nip
and tuck throughout, Simon and
Sher scoring all of the Y. M. H. A.
teams points. and these men also
featured for the losing team in floor
work. Simon is a star in the Battin

ment to offset the strength of Han
son and Regan.
The Y. Al. H. A. team held the lead
throughout the greater part of the
first half, Simon scoring one field
goal. and eight fouls out of twelve

en- foul counters out of nine chances.

Fast playing by the regular Dry
Dock men in aiding Hanson and Re-
gan. enabled the Dry Dock combina-
ton to pass their opponents early in
the second half. With a minute and
a half to go. the Dry Dock team led
25-23. but Charley Sher came
through with a double counter and
knotted the score. Pete Hanson's
foul counter won the game.
"Chuck" Solador refereed another
good game. calling twenty-five fouls
: on the Dry Dock team, seventeen of
which were made, and twenty-five on
the Y. NJ. III. A. team, eighteen of
which were made.
Although the management of the
Y. NJ. H. A. team announced yester-
day and on Tuesday night at the
,Tottenville-Harmon game, that Nat
Holman would appear here for the
game last night. this player failed
to appear. There was no announce

THEACRICULTURAL SITUATION
REVIEWED BY SECRETARY
OF AGRICULTURE
Henry G. Wallace of Iowa. Appointed by President Harding
Explains Present Agricultural Situation "
in Noted Address to Farmers

Iowa. the greatest corn state, was
more than 80 cents. This includes the
land cost, the labor cost, and every
thing else which ought to be included
Many people say: You are figur-
ing the land at an inflated price. You
should not do that The farmer did
not pay that price for the land. He
wants dividends on water"
1t is true that the land charge is
considered on the basis of its value a
year ago, but 1t is also true that the
advance In Land prices was not nearly
as great as many people suppose.
They hear of tie occasional sales at
x4OO or $500 per acre and assume that
that represento the average. Nothing
of the sort The average advance of
our rich corn belt land was only about
90 per cent above pre-war values. 1t
muse be remembered also that in the
principal corn states over half the
land Is farmed by tenants and these
tenants mostly had to rent on a basis
of the advanced land values. 1t is true
further that IL we omit the land
charge altogether. the price which the
farmer can get for a bushel of corn is
still considerably below what it cost
him to produce it. The largest item Of
cost in corn production is not land. but
labor.
The man who has been farming his
own land and who has saved his
money has prospered The five years
prior to 1920 were profitable years,
especially to the grain farmer who
was so fortunate as to have good crops
II he exercised ordinary intelligence
he made more money than he ever be-
fore made at farming. Those years
were not so profitable to the livestock
farmer. The man who grew his own
livestock and own grain and fed his
grain 10 the livestock, on the whole,
made money, although not as much as
II he had sold the grain instead of
feeding It The man who bought the
livestock and bought the grain and fed
the grain to the livestock, ON the aver
age, lost money. When hogs were sell
ing at $40 per hundredweighc every
body seemed to think the hog feeder
was growing rich, but most of the
time when hogs were selling at those
high figures the men who had to buy
the grain to feed the hogs lost money
The second cause of the farmers
trouble is this: Prices Of fnrm pro-
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1921-03-24

ducts have dropped out OF all proper
tion to the prices Of other things, as
well as out Of proportion to the cost
OF production.
For example. the price OF corn and
oats on the Iowa farm today is about
20 par cent below the normal price Of
these crops before the war. The pres
enc price Of fat hogs and cattle is
from 20 to % per cent above the pre-
war normal, II we take Chicago prices
but on the farm the prices of both cat
tie and hogs are down to prewar nor
NAL.
Now note the prices of some of the
things the farmer must buy: Wages
OF farm hands are about 100 per cent
above the pre- war normal, railroad
rates are from 20 to 80 per cent above
pre- war normal, such basic commod-
tiles as pig iron, coke, petroleum., lum-
Der, Portland cement, are far above
the pre- war normal-from 100 to 100
and in some cases, 200 per cent above
pre- war normal. Factory wages are
both more than 100 per cent above the
pre- war normal.
In other words while the farmer IL
selling the things he produces at prices
no higher, and for great surplus crops
lower than the pre- war normal, he
must buy practically every thing he
needs at prices from 80 to 100 per
cent above the pre- war normal. The
severe agricultural depression Is in
evitable as long as such a condition
exists and this depression will certain
ly be communicated to industry and
business generally
1t is Il situation which should chal-
lenge the very best thought of the en-
tire nation If 1t continues the trouble
will be communicated to ever one We
are brothers Of one another. Anything
which hurts the farmer will very soon
lie communicated to all Of our citizens
The farmers represent probably 35 or

FOUGHT POLICEMAN

On Monday night about eight
O'Clock Chief of Police r. B. Crea,
placed Justin McCarty under arrest
for being intoxicated, after warning
