Professor Says Large Yields
This Year Are Improbable
Farm Panic Serious

BURLINGTON, May 21.-ProfesSoI
G. F. Warren, head of the department
of farm economics and farm manage
ment of New York State College of Ag-
riculture, at Cornell university, issues
the following statement regarding the
present agricultural situation:
Il am asked for a statement concern
ing farm practice to meet the present
situation.
''We<are passing through the most Sc
rious agricultural panic that has ever
occurred. The product of an acre of
cotton, if sold this year, will buy 81 per
cent of the quantity of general cOmmOdi-
ties that the product of an acre of cot
ton would have bought as a five-year
average before the war. Records are
available for 43 years and in only one
year, 1894, would the product of an
acre of cotton buy so little. In making
these calculations, the general price level
used is the price level of all cOmmOdi-
ties of the bureau of labor, and the
value of the cotton crop per acre as
given by the Monthly Crop Reporter.
Corn Buys Little.
I'm spite of the large yield per acre,
the product of an acre of CORN if sold
this year, could be exchanged for only
73 per cent of the average quantity of
other commodities that an acre of corn
would have bought as a tive-year aver
age before the war. This is the lowest
in 20 years. If the calculations are made
on the value of corn per bushel without
giving consideration to the large Weld
this year, we find that a bushel of corn
would bring the farmer a purchasing
power of 60 per cent as much as the av
erage for the five years before the war.
This is the lowest since 1896. Even
that year it stood at 81 per cent, so that
cheap as corn was at that time, a bushel
could be exchanged for almost as much
general commodities as can be bought
with a bushel of corn today.
THE product of an average acre of
wheat in the United States, last year.
would buy 81 per cent as much as the
average acre of wheat would buy for
five years before the war. This is the
lowest in 20 years.
The product of an average acre of
oats, last year. would buy al per cent
of the usual quantity of other things.
which is the lowest since 1896 Or if
we consider the price of oats. emitting
the consideration of yield per acre, n
bushel of oats would buy 63 per cent Of
the usual quantity of other things, which
is the lowest in - years
Worst Panic Ever.
Such facts as the above completely
dominate the agricultural situation. Wei

Urges Farmers to Hold
Surplus Crops OUer Harvest

are passing through the worst panic that
has ever occurred. but agriculture is hay-
ing a panic on top of panic, for the
| discrepancy between agriculture and
| ether things is panic in itself.
I'm the countries of Europe the index
numbers of prices show that food prices
are not low. In some countries, as Ger
many, the food price is higher than the
general price level The general panic
! is worldwide, but the superimposed ag-
ricultural panic is centcred IN the
United States. Other fOod-exportlng
countries are somewhat similarly al
fected.
Worlds Supply Not Excessive.
Under these circumstances that have
never before occurred what should the
farmer do? My Judgment is that the
worlds supply of food products is not
excessive if the food were located where
it is needed. OF course. it is very unlike
ly that such favorable season VIII oc-
eur again. The yield per acre. last year,
for the six grain crops was 10 per cent
above the average 1t seems, therefore,
that the individual farmer should go
ahead with his farming operations as
near to the normal as he can considering
the credit system. OF course, he Will go
slow in new ventures. and some OF the
land which normally fails to pay ordl-
nary farm wages to the farm operator
to recuperate, unless its operation can be
conducted incidentally to the operation
of the better land.
Store Crops OH Farms.
However,. the most important single
thing for farmers to do aside from con-
tinuing to work as usual is to hold on
the farms a large amount of this years
grain crops and other products. The
only place where such excessive crops
can be stored is on farms. City stor-
ages are specta cular, but for capacity
it is the multitude of small cribs and gran
aries that count. The Is per cent extra
crop due to weather is not to be expected
again. The farmer who holds some of
this unexpected surplus to meet the pos
sible unexpected shortage is performing
an important public service. This serv-
ice. however. is not understood by per
sons in cities. for the reason that they
do not comprehend the variability of
crops due to weather. One of the most
important factors that helped to prevent
Germany from winning the war was the
large reserve held on farms out of the
excessive crop of 1915 which made. it
possible to get through the spring of
1917 without food calamity for Eu-
rope.
1T is always in the interest of the
public as we'll as in the interest of farm
erS that i'm the years of bounty. large
food reserves be built up on farms as
they have been done so many. many
times i'm the past. And in the past. they
have always proved to be needed al
though sometimes the carry-ovcr had to
remain large for second year"

THE MOUNTAIN PRISON

Joan is the daughter of a liquor
crazed trapper, who keeps her i'm
prisoned in his dilapidated hut in the
mountains of Wyoming, because he
sees in the beautiful girl a striking
resemblance to her unfaithful mother,
whom he shot in a frenzy of Jealousy
twenty years prior.
One night Joan sees her opportunity
to make a dash for freedom, and
leaves the shack. In the foothills of
the mountains, Joan takes refuge in a
ranch house, where she meets Pierre,
a handsome primitive type of man,
who woos and marries her.
Pierre takes her to his 'lonely cabin,
where they gre both happy, until
Joan's father discovers where she is,
and comes to warn Pierre that his
wife is so much like her mother that
he may at any time expect to find
Joan unfaithful.
