change will interrupt the flow Of ex-
port business and that in turn has .
bearing on the price.
Again the condition of the grain
itself may have great bearing. IL the
grain is poor, the millers, the indus
trials, the feed manufacturers, the ex-
porter will not buy it unless at q great
discount.
AS the season goes on the outlook for
the next crop has a great deal to do
with the price. If green bug or Hes
sian fly or winter killing or drouth or
too much rain makes the outlook for
the winter wheat crop dubious, up goes
the price ON last years wheat.
The more a man knows about worlds
conditions, the more opportunity there
is for difference Of opinion. That 10
why the prices fuetuate. It IL seldom,
as is often charged, that any grain
handler can buy grain cheap after har-
vest and hold for high price. Futures
trading prevents that very thing. It
anticipates the price for months to
come.

proceed to study carefully the Argen-

He would have a more intelligent re-

which prevails in America, which en-
ables us to market grain at a minimum
of profit between the man who pro-

q HOULD you ask any grain man
- why the price goes up, he would
instantly say because today there
were more buyers than sellers.
Some farmers organizations argue
that because there is no more grain
now than there was after harvest, the
law Of supply and demand is not opera
tive, but the price depends on so many
things that the actual supply of grain
il not always the main cause.
Every time it rains in the winter or
there 10 heavy snow or there is a
thaw which makes the roads muddy,
the price of corn goes up because it
may not be freely marketed, even
though the total amount of grain is
absolutely known. Then again, the
news from the Argentine or Australia
may be that there is local crop fail
ure or unusually good conditions of
grain in that part of the world, and
that in turn will make the price fuc-
tuate.

A COmmendable Habit.

The following from the editorial
page of the Hennipen County Legion
naire, paper published by the posts
off Hennipen county struck us as
copying:
daily affairs, it is particularly desir-
able for the ex-service man to give
thought to a certain matter that is
given prominence these days. 1t is
not the relief Of starving children in
Europe; not the menace of war with
this or that nation, nor is it the five
fold soldier legislation in congress.
No, it's none of these, nor anything
paign.
Ex-service men are probably just
like other average young men IN
their attitude toward churches and
religion-that is not notably devout.
But they are not like other young men
in that they ought to have a more
personal interest in such matters, in
return for what religious organiza-
tons did for them during the war.
1t is not simply the work of the So
cial service units that we mean. The
churches and religion did a lot more
than to serve the men in uniform.
Much more than is generally thought,
they helped the people back home.
During those dark days when the ca
bles brought back word of how our
young men were going forward into
death, those were anxious times for
mother and father. Mother wept op-
emily, of course, and was not ashamed
to pray. It helped her to see it thru
Father did not want to appear to
need support, even when he trembled
to look at the dispatches, for fear
sons name would be in the long list
Son does not know, probably never
will know and father is never likely to
tell, how many times, after mother
had gone to bed, he slipped out and
alone under the skies looked up and
prayed, perhaps for the first time
since at his mothers knee.
Son came back or didn't come, as
the case might be anyway, perhaps.
That is not the point. The point is
that mother and father felt better af-
terward. When all other sources of
comfort are obliterated, when the
slast resort stage is reached, then a
religious sense is pretty good thing
to have around.
: Ex-service men should remember
this now. The church is an institu-
ton worth encouraging. People as a
whole never have appreciated it as
they might, never made use of it as it
is capable of being used. Being deeply
religious is one thing, but the act Of
going to church as simple duty and
as an encouragement Of most desir-
able institution is something every ex-
service person could well put above a
number of other commendable habit
in his restored life.

Signs Favor Usual
Acreage of Wheat

Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota Experiment Station at Uni
versity Farm, believes that northwest
farmers should plant the usual acreage
to wheat the coming spring. Accord
ing to the best statistical data avail
able the world is shorter Of wheat and
rye than of corn and the coarse grains.
''Under the circumstances says
Professor Boss, ut is wise for those
on farms where the soil and climate
are favorable to wheat production, to
put in the usual, or slightly more than
the usual, acreage of that crop. Wheat
promises the farmer as well as better
than anything else at the present time
The acreage Of spring wheat In the
northwest should not be reduced.
"Corn should come next in prefer
ence under prevailing conditions.
While it is cheap at the present time,
the prices for hogs, if they can be
maintained, are sufficient to warrant
the growing of at least the normal
acreage of corn for hog feeding pur-
poses. With hogs selling at 7la to 9
cents pound, corn may be marketed
through them at 70 to 80 cents per
bushel. A corn and hog combination
the coming year promises at least a
fair reward for labor.
"The oat and barley acreage should
probably not be increased. These
grains can always be used to advan-
tage for feed, but under present con-
ditions they do not promise as large
profits as wheat and corn. Now that
clover seed is again reasonable in
price, much land should be seeded to
that crop for feed and fertilizing pur-
poses. Land that is not well adapted
to large production Of grain can well
be seeded to grass or hay-making pur-
poses. While land in grass may not
offer large cash returns, it does at
ford some cash returns and at the
minimum expenditure for labor. If
reasonably good prices for dairy prod
ucts can be maintained, cows can prof
itably convert the grass into cash.
ssFlax and fall rye are limited acre
age. crops. Both offer some, appor-
tunities for profit where the soil and
climate are adapted to them. The
flax acreage probably should not be
increased and. it is too late to increase

Hughes a Pro-Leaguer.

If the League Of Nations still wants

sensitiveness, it may find encourage.
.nent in the selection OF Charles n
Hughes as secretary Of state in the
Harding cabinet. For unless the
former Federal justice has radically
changed his mind since last Septen-
her he believes not that the league
is "dead," but that with proper amend
ment the covenant should be ratified
by the senate.
Judge Hughes, it will be recalled,
delivered the keynote address before
the New Jersey Republican state can-
vention on September II. Besides a
general arrangement Of the Wilson
administration, he devoted particular
attention to the "Wilson league re-
viewing its history and provisions,
discussing Roots and Taft's connec-
tion with it and outlining certain
changes which in his epinicn should
be made in the compact.
Under a Republican adnlinistra-
tion," he promised, Eve shall be able
TO retain all that is good in the pro-
posed covenant while we shall ade-
auately protect ourselves from what
is ill-advised and dangerous, and in a
sensible manner we shall do our full
share in securing SO far as may be
possible, international justice and
abiding peace"
This is SO far from the position
of the senate irreconcilables that one
need not wonder at their opposition
to the Hughes appointment. By
choosing the judge Mr.. Harding ap-
pears definitely to turn his back or
