led with the failure of our own mer-

situation which makes it necessary
for us to market our staple agricul-

than usual. This situation is clearly
indicated in the following extract
from report from. an investigator of
the Department of Agriculture, who
is now in Europe studying the mar
kets there for American agricultural
products:
"The cotton merchants over here in
the countries visited do not think it
sound business for American shippers
or banks to advance too much credit
to the cotton mills. They say that the
mills can arrange the necessary cred
its with local banks to buy cotton if
only they can show an outlet for the
goods; that extending liberal credit
from America will tend to increase the
risks assumed by the mill and may
lead to speculative ventures on the
part of the mills.
"Thcse merchants point out that
mills should buy cotton only as they
are able to sell goods profitably and
then that the mill should cover it's re-
quiremcnts with cotton close at hand.
They go so far as to say the mer-
chant should sell cotton on call for the
mill to fix the price when the goods
arc sold. This suggestion seems un-
sound to me, as it involves too great
{, risk for the seller, making him take
chances which rightfully fall on the

Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing drec-

statement:

MIR. Meyer, 'is measure of great

thoroughly workable from the admin

cession now, some price recovery is to
be expected in the near future. This
does not mean that all prices will rise.
When more products rise in price than
fall, the general price level will rise,
but many, products will be going down,
1t is to be expected that those that
have dropped excessively will rise,
and that prices, Of most things much
above the general price level will fall.
The bulletin gives many pages of
comparison of wholesale and farm
prices. A, cheerful forecast is found
in this sentence: "Many farmers can
not avoid failure, but courage and
perseverance will carry many others

tions, and will do much to bring back

RISE AND FALL OF FOOD
PRICES REPEATS HISTORY

The family man whose income did
not increase between 1914 and 1918
was IN bad way. Everything he
needed, and all the things he and his
wife and children believed they ought
to have to be happy, became so costly
that new system of living had to be
adopted. Millions, perhaps, changed
their diet by reducing animal foods,
and meats Of all kinds, and increasing
the use of grains and vegetables; and,
incidentally, a very large number
have not gone back to the old sche-
dulles.
Wholesale Prices Doubled
Compared with the 5-year average
before the World War, Wholesale
prices in 1918 had doubled, or were
represented by 200 as an index num-
Der from which to figure. Many com
modltlcs were higher and many were
lower than this figure would Indicate.
However, any product that had not
doubled in price in those days was re-
latively cheap, and anything that had
more than doubled was relatively high
priced. Prices, it will be seen, arc
high or low entirely by comparison.
The man who went back into history
for his information and guidance in
preparing for what he might reason
ably expect to encounter in 1918 or
1919 learned that the rise and fall of
prices in the period after the World
War bore striking similarity to the
same rise and fall after the War of
1912 and after the Civil War. In each
case the highest price level was reach
cd after the war closed, and in each
case there was an extremely violent
drop. Department Bulletin 900, Just

ROTATION ONLY PRACTICAL
CURE OF PEA-SICK LAND

Where the crop of peas grown for
canning or truck market purposes the
past season has shown\ root rot, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture advises planning for long ro-
tatlon OF other crops, beginning with
the next season, to rid the soil of the
disease. A four-ycar rotation is some
times effective, but cases have been
met, both in the East and in the Cen
tral States, where even longer TO
'tation has proved insufficient.
Investigations by , the department
during the past three years have
shown that root rot of peas is present
in all of the larger pea-growing areas
east of the Mississippi, and to some
extent in Montana and Utah. The di-
Seasc lives in the soil and becomes
more destructive each year that peas
are grown on infested land, soon re-
duclng: the crop to such an extent as
to make it Improbable. 1t is distri-
buted by the custom prevalent in some
sections of transferring soil from old
fields to new ones to carry the nodule
bacteria, and by wind and other
means.
The area of pea-sck land is widen
ing each year. 1t is particularly i'm
portant that the large seed growing
regions of the West, which have re-
NAMED free of the disease up to the
present time, be protected from it by
the practice of proper rotation.
The department is breeding Marie
ties of peas resistant to root rot, but
some time must clapsc before there
can be any assurance that the COM
mercial growers problem can be solv-
ed in This WaV

ment of Agriculture as contribution
from the Bureau of Markets and Crop
Estimates, shows that the rise in
prices during the World War was
much the same as during the Civil
War period, but continued longer af-
ter the close of the war, and resulted
in more violent drop than occurred
after either the War of 1912 or the
Civil War.
After each of the previous wars a
very violent drop in prices occurred,
followed by recovery in part and some
what stable prices for year OF more,
followed by longer but less violent
drop, and again followed by period

suggestion that reasonable stocks.
should be placed in the leading Euro
Npean markets and hedged in dollars
seems sound. The price can be fixed
when the sale is consttinmated and at
rate of exchange which is taken into
consideration when the price is deter
mined. These merchants point out
that they can not carry large stocks
as IN former years, as, q change in the
rate Of exchange might cause serious
losses, and that therefore they must
of necessity buy cotton only as it is
needed. If they follow out this plan
it will mean safe business to Euro
pean mills, but a slow and long drawn

merly. The agricultural relief act
aims to providel these facilities along
sound lines and in way that will be
helpful not only to the producers
themselves, but also to the whole bu
siness of the country.
ut should be clearly understood
that the act is an emergency measure,
designed to meet the abnormal condi!
tions now confronting us. Experience
in connection with it's administration,
however, should enable us to deter
mine to what extent, if any, additional
financial machinery of a permanent
character is necessary to take care of
