"It would be even more unfair to
argue that land values should be bas-
ed on present deprecated prices for
farm products than to argue that they
should be based on inflated prices.
part of the increase in land val
ues represents additional investment
in the form Of clearing, draining,
fencing, etc.
"Mr Babson says that the wise far
mers should sell his crops more rap
idly and liquidate his loans. Board of
trade operators who are endeavoring
to justify their positions, state that
consumptive demand is insufficient to
absorb the grain now coming to mar
ket; that if it were not for the specu-
latOrs there would be an insufficient
number of buyers and prices would go
much lower. Mr.. BabsOn, who by the
way, received most of his income from
sO-called investment spectators,
would have the farmer sell his crops
to the spectators, who are only will
ing to buy at price that gives them
a strong chance to resell at a higher
price later on. Federal Reserve Bank
reports show that farmers are grad
ually paying their loans. The amount
of interbank borrowing by Federal
Reserve Banks in Agricultural sec
tions has decreased decidedly during
the past few weeks. Spectators op-
crate even more exclusively than far
mers do upon borrowed money. The
amount of borrowing necessary to
carry grain on farms is less than to
carry it in the hands of speculators
so that the total demand for credit
would not be reduced by following
Mr.. Babson's suggestion.
"Mr. Babson states that the wealth
Of the country depends upon the num-
Oer of bushels raised and not upon

BIG FOOD SUPPLY
IN STATE WATERS

A reserve food supply worth mil.
/ lions of dollars annually is contained
in the undeveloped supply of food fish
and wild waterfowl in the abundant
rivers, streams and bays in the State
of Delaware according to the biennial
report of the State Board of Game and
Fish Commissioners submitted to the
Legislature last week. During the last
trapping season the report shows
that the value of muskrats was esti-
mated at $2,O0OO00.
Steps for the preservation of ma
tive bird and animal life are strong
ly recommended. In this connection
the board recommends that a COM
mission be created to confer with a
similar commission of the State of
New Jersey to complete negotiations
Of a number of propose changes in
the present concurrent regulations
between the two states governing the
control of fish in the Delaware river
and bay.
AS result of conflict and duplica-
tion of present laws the report urges
that all present laws be codified. On
this subject the report reads:
Because of the conflict, ambiguity
and duplication of many of our pres
ent laws on these subjects the board
strongly recommends that the Legis-
lature provide for the codification of
the Delaware laws relating to fish,
game, birds, oysters, Holsters and
CLAIMS, and the enactment of a law
placing the control of all Of these in
terests under the same. official man
agement. In some States the depart
ments of forestry and public lands
are added to the above to form one
economical and efficient de-
partment. This could advantageously
be done in Delaware"
Correction of the methods of dis
tribution of quail, the States best ma
tive bird, are urged, in respect to this
recommendation the report reads:
I'm the case of the quail, our best
native bird, the board believes there
are sufficient now in certain parts of
he State, to restock the entire State
t they can be trapped during the |
proper seasons of the year and distri-
Outed in pairs throughout the three |
counties. If this method of distribu- |
ion can be pursued for several years
We further believe that our now de-
)leted covers can be replenished and
every farmer have on his lands nu-
nerous coveys Of this wonderful bird.
The same plan could be used in the
distribution of rabbits where found /
advisable"
An important feature. of the work
II the board has been the effort made
'rior to the spawning season last year
o return to fresh waters thousands
i fish that had escaped as a result of
he destruction by storms of numer-
'us dams in Kent and Sussex coun-
les. Through this effort 1859 fish
we're replaced for propagation pur-
'oses.

RUSSIAN AID PLAN
GIVES WHEAT ALIFT
After Four Days Of Declines
Market Spurts on Various
Bullish Factors.

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-Grain prices de-
veloped strength to-day, largely as
result of gossip that Congress would
appropriate funds for the purchase of
100000 bushels Of corn and 5000. 600
bushels of wheat for Russian relief.
Wheat crossed strong, to 1 &c. net high
er. with May $1.129s to 1.12 q and July
sl.0S1s to ~. Corn gained gs tossc.
and oats u toasc. Provisions ended un-
changed to 21ac. up
At first the wheat market showed
downward tendency because Of prospects
of rain or snow likely to afford relief
from drought In the Southwest. 1t be-
ing the fifth day OF declining prices,
however, selling was only half-hearted
and caution by bears was further sug-
gested by drop in receipts at northern
terminals. Gradually attention of trad
ers began to focus on the possible mar
ket effects of a proposal at Washington
to expend S20,000,O00 to buy foodstuffs
for Russia. Consequent increase of
bullish sentiment showed itself first in
vuin, but later was much more manifest
in wheat. Active commission house buy
ing Of wheat followed. especially in the
last half hour. Reduced crop estimates
from Canada counted as further stim-
ulus at the finish.
Upturns In corn and oats also were
mainly ascribed to Russian relief talk.
Sales OF corn to go into storage here
acted somewhat as counter balance.
Scattered buying on Eastern account
upheld provisions.

Small business i'm shirts.

Manufacturers of shirts are experience
ing but small demand from retailers for
replenishment of stocks, according to a
prominent lcaal manufacturer. in spite
of abnormally low prices prevailing.
manufacturers anticipate that they viii
have TO reduce their prices still further
TO clear their shelves OF rapidly accuinu-
latlng stocks. Manufactures have re-
fused to curtail on production because
they do not want TO be placed 49, the posi-
tion that they were in during the mar
ket's last slump. At that time manu-
facturers closed their plants and when
buying was resumed found themselves
out OF stocks and had TO take consider
able losses because of inability TO sup
ply buyers. The retailer is abundantly
supplied for his immediate and spring
requirements. and when a revival from
the manufacturers standpoint can be
looked for is still problematical

As to the prices of 1914. believe that
With the decrease in taxation that Is
sure to come. with the decrease in in
terest rates that is rapidly coming, with
the decrease In the cost of freight and
transportation that is sure 70 come, with
the decrease in rents which will come
in due course of time, with the decrease
in the cost of living which will result
from the above and which will be re-
Elected in lower wages as measured by
dollars but in practically higher wages
as measured by the purchasing power
of the dollar, with the increase of ef-
ficiency by labor due to realization
that it Is lettering it's own interests
by producing as much as it can for its
wages and not as little as 1t can, ana
with the Increased efficiency of labor
due to the improvements in machinery,
inventions and methods there will uiti-
mately come a reduction in the cost OF
merchandise produced which will ulti-
nlately bring prices down to those OF
1914, but / do not believe that wages
will ever come down as low as they were
In 1914. This will. however, be COM
pensated for by increased efficiency que
to freedom from strikes, more STEADY
employment and more efficient methods.
Merchandise at present is inflated. In
the sense that 1t is high. due 10 the
present high taxes, high interest, nlsh
cost of transportation, high rents, hlBh
cost of labor and high cost of doing
business and the necessity .or a larger
amount of profit due to the necessity to
earn more on account of the present
high cost of living; but this imitation
will be removed as the operating causes
are removed. The prices OF. nerchan-
disc represent at present only a iair
profit based upon other conditions, anu
in that sense are not inflated.
The general trade outlook is promising
and will improve gradually as other con-
ditions improve gradually. Each day
that passes brings us one day nearer 10
the solution of the present world DIM
culties, and consequently there is
steady but imperceptible Improvement.
AZ prices OF all kinds are reduced there
will be an increase in the volume OF
business, which viii be helpful TO every
body. Lower prices bring articles with
in the reach OF so many more people
that 1t stimulates cc assumption and pro-
duction and thereby increases business
and the general welfare.
We still have to undergo considerable
liquidation due to the fact that in war
times many people were able to 90 into
business and to do business who were
not qualified from any standpoint to be
successful in business, and who were
able to exist only because of the peculiar
wartime conditions. Many of these have
already succumbed. but there are quite
a number Of people who have not yet
been forced out of business in the present
struggle, in which the fittest only will
survive
There must still be liquidation OF
plants before any balance is struck be-
tween production and consumption. This
should be pretty thoroughly completed
during and within the next year. as the
result of which there will be a much
more heaithful condition in business.
