Mr.. Buck said that in Chicago

better, he claimed
The present business depression,
the speaker said, was due to artI-

that factories closed.

these company unions are entirely
controlled by the company and the
skilled workers.
of the force employed by the
company 10 per cent is unskilled

malt liquors. ths special market for
which was theoretically at least, de-
stroyed by the late passage Of the
Volsread Act describing beer as an
intoxicating liquor prescribed under
the Eighteenth Amendment
An investigation made here by the
Wisconsin A~gricu.turist shows that
there has been practically nc reduc-
ton in the acreage of barley planted
since prohibition was adopted. The
crop in the United States this year
was shown to be 167. 100000 BUSH
els. compared with 171.0O0, 600 BUSH
els the year before and a five year
average OF 2OS. 0Oe. 900, the reduction
not being due to any cutting down
of acreage but to an unanticipated
crop failure. The agriculturist re-
ports that the new market for this
grain is a contribution to the farmer
by the agricultural schools of the
mid. west.

continued ih combination for three
years have demonstrated that barley
