WHEAT COSTS HIGH
N PALOUSE COUNTRY
Carney of Over 200 Farms Shows
Cost of Production to Farm
Owner to Have Been $1.69
Per BushelJ-To Ten
ant Farmer $1.44

The average cost of producing Il
bushel of wheat on more than zoo
farms in the vicinity of Pullman and
Moscow, Idaho, was $1.69 on owner
farms and $1.44 on tenant farms in
1919. according to figures contained
in an official survey conducted un-
dor the supervision of the State Col
lege of Washington, the University
nj Idaho, and the u. S. Department
If Agriculture This report has just
been returned to the State College,
hearing the approval of the Office
ri Farm Management of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington,
D. C.
The cost of production of winter
wheat averaged $1.63 per bushel,
with a range of soc to $4 on owner
farms. and of $1.44, with a range of
zoe to $3.50 on tenant farms
Spring wheat cost an average Of
1888 per bushel on owner farms and
Sl94 on tenant farms, with a slight
" narrower range of difference.
The figures cover 229 farms with
about half of that number in each
OF the states of Washington and Ida

The survey was conducted last
summer, by experts in farm man
agement from the experiment sta
tons of the State College of Wash
ington and the University of Idaho

L. S. Department of Agriculture. A
continuation of this survey is pro-
posed for the crop years of 1920 and
1921, after which the summary will
furnish basis for the computing OF
cost production figures for any
given year. Two and three men
nom each of the three departments
worked continuously to assemble
these figures for the three months of
the summer vacation last year. These
men visited the 229 farms and con
suited with the owners and operat-
ers in detail.
The survey covers data on a total
oil 1928 acres of winter wheat with
a yield of 554 APO bushels, and TO-
1913 acres of spring wheat, yielding
total of 220,664 bushels. The ay-
erage yield in the winter wheat was
~ bushels, with 20 bushels in
spring wheat.
The report shows that 80 per
cent OF the total of both winter and
spring wheat from owner farms was
produced at $1.9O per bushel or less.

not be settled at this session, what
ever the vote. During the debate the
opponents threatened referendum,
md now the proponents are seriously
considering an initiative. So in any
case the question must come before
the people in November, 1922.
The issue is now clouded and it
may be well to have two years for

LOWER RATES NOT
 BEFORE APRIL 1
Traffic Experts Say Business Should Pay No Heed to
 Reduction Rum0rS

Traffic experts agree with A. II. Morrow, president of the National Coal Operators association, ini his statement that 1t is unbusinesslike to base transactions on prospect of freight rate reductions prior to about April 1.
 His diagnosis of the situation is that the interstate commerce commis- sion cannot hand down a decision with reference to freight rate adjust ments before the end of February, and that 1t twill take carriers several weeks to publish tariffs based on whatsoever the commission may order.
 Mir. Morrow is right said O. L. Bum, manager of the Birmingham traffic bureau. "The shippers are to be heard by the commission January 9, then the commission must go over all the data presented by carriers and shippers.
 Then enters the question of wages, which must be figured in rate reductions. All this takes time, and We do not know what the commis- sion will eventually decide. It fol- lows that good business should not pay attention to rumors. reports and guesses as to freight rate reductions. Best business is to omit thought as to probable changes and go ahead. This certainly applies to the first quarter of the year."
 T agree with Mir. Morrow" said Charles E. Jones, secretary of the traffic bureau. There are rate changes in specific commodities be-. ing made from time to time, but no business should heed talk about rate reductions. Any general adjustment issuing out of the present case be- fore the interstate commerce com mission cannot become effective dur ing the first quarter of the year. We should go ahead so far as first guar ter of 1922 Is concerned as though rate reductions were not thought of"
