WHERE PROSPERITY STARTS.

In the fall of 1920, prices paid to
farmers for their products entered
a period of drastic decline. From
then until few months ago the in
dustrial depression was due largely
to the shrunken purchasing power Of
the American farmer.
Four months ago the values of crops
were calculated by the Department
of Agriculture at eight billion dol
lars less than two years before.
While the farmers income was
shrinking, the prices of the manufac-
tured articles he needed did not drop
in proportion. The farmer could not
afford to sell eight bushels of grain
to pay eight dollars for a pair of
shoes. He sold the wheat because he
had to. But he found he could get
along, somehow, without the new
shoes. In fact, he got along for a
year or so without buying anything.
Slowly but surely the wide differ
ence between the prices of farm pro-
ducts and of merchandise the farmer
buys is being wiped out by the law of
supply and demand.
The business situation of the ma
ton is improving. The backbone of
our prosperity is found in the feltil-
ity of our soil. We are able to pro-
duce, more than any other nation, a
wide variety of the things the world
needs. When our farmers are given
fair return on their investment and
labor, they insure to the nation as a
whole a fair degree of prosperity.
The first and most interesting sign
of better business is that prices paid
to the farmer are going up.
1t is now plain to be seen that these
Prices fell below levels warranted by
actual conditions. Downward prices
were assisted by involved conditions
in Europe. A nationwide attack on
grain exchanges by the farming in
tercsts weakened considerably the
country's grain market. Then, when
tanners expected three dollars n
bushel for their wheat, they were
urged by their grange organizati)
and their leaders not to sell.
When prices fell to somewhere near
one dollar a bushel, and farmers were
obliged to sell, they came to the coz
clusion that they had been penalized
for holding. Reversing their meth
DDS, in the fall of 1921, they market
ed wheat at speed never equaled in
the history Of the country. Specu-
lative markets found themselves I'M
prepared to handle such huge guam
titles of wheat, and this helped to
make the whole situation abnormal.

the Argentine and Australia and from

THE LEAVENWORTH ECHO

CT the work, and be as protective"
as before.
A single operator at about SO per
day running twenty automatic ma
chimes produces 1900 pairs of the
cheapest mems socks per day, selling
at 6 or Z cents per pair, and retail
ing in the ten cent stores at 10 cents
per pair. The hosiery people now
hove SO per cent or $45 protection on
the entire 1900 pairs to protect to-
tai wage cost of S36, and they are
crying for about 70 per cent protec-
ton. They have no right to any for
no nation equals our low hosiery
costs.
So, a single operator with Is or 20
automatic screw machines produces
as much as 500 men could have pro.
duced two or three generations ago.
Sometimes from each of these ma
chimes there drops every three min
utes piece of metal cut inside and
outside into most difficult shapes
which would have taken a skilled man
days to produce in the early days of
protection. And yet the protection
today is three or four times more
than Alexander Hamilton gave in
1889, when everything was 90 per
cent labor. No nation equals us in
this kind of quantity production.
SO on shoes, operators do in As
minutes now what used to take two
days time. And in sewing cloth in
1850 a woman took 20 minutes time
to sew seam yard long; in 1870
two minutes with sewing machine
with a handle on the fy-wheel; then
one minute with the foot-treadle ma
chine; and the latest invention oper-
ated by electricity does in 20 seconds
what used to take 20 minutes.
The Fair Tariff League has studied
20 industries producing mostly the
things that fill our stores. 1t finds
that the total wages in these indus
tries are seldom more than 20 per
cent of the factory selling price of
the product. In some products it is
from six to fifteen per cent. A tar
if of from fifteen to thirty per cent
would, with a few exceptions, equal
the total wage cost in the industry it.
self, while much less than this would
represent the difference in the wage
cost" in this country and in foreign
countries.
To these rates would have to be adj
died. other percentages, usually much
less, for work done in prior processes,
which prepare the material for the
factories that make the finished pro
duct like clocks, gloves, collars, cut
lery, etc.
The United States makes hosiery
of all sorts, pressed glass, plate glass,
sanitary ware, cheap gloves, ordinary
table cutlery, cheap cottons, kitchen
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1922-04-07

cutlery, many kinds of hardware
hand tools, etc, cheaper than any
where else in the world.
In these things protection has ac-
complshed what was predicted at the
start. High-paid labor is cheap Ia
Dor. Furthermore, the development
of the automatic machine and other
mechanical devices has made each
workman a bigger man, as respects
production, than his foreman forty
years ago.
The Census of 1910 gave us pop
ulation of 100000 people, and
in 1920 1O5. 100000. If, however, we
measure in terms of industrial eff
ficiency, our los, 100000 people today
are producing as much as possibly
120,000,0O0 people could have pro-
duced in 1910, or at least in 1900, so
that we have now to find an output
in all the markets of the world for
the production of the equivalent OF
100000 people instead of 100000
600, as actually named in the census.
We now have in these new mechanical
facilities the equivalent of 100000
invisible workers who must be kept
busy unless our wage earners are to
suffer from idleness.
The woman who makes 1900 pairs
of socks per day must be kept just
as busy as her grandmother who
made ten pairs per week, and so of
the machinist, who produces as much
as 500 men did forty years ago, and
the woman who operates 20 looms in
stead of the single loom her grand
mother worked.
All this means lower rates of duty,
and the kind of tariff that most de-
velops foreign trade, without failing

Canada it becomes clear that in none
of those countries will the yield APP
proach earlier estimates.
The result is that, while May wheat
options were selling at SLIP bushel
in the middle of last October, they
had gone as high as $1.47 by the first
of March.
Cotton too has had substantial
upturn. Corn and hogs have appre-
ciated steadily; sheep and wool are
bringing much better prices, and so
are cattle-in spite of the fact that
a few months ago political orators
were predicting that the packers
would do everything is their power to
keep prices down.
With grains and other farm prod
ucts selling at their present levels
farmers will realize much more from
their 1922 crops than they could have
expected when this year began. In
turn, they will be better customers
for things which, in their period OF
adversely, they refused to buy.
While the prices paid to the farm
er have been going up, the prices OF
other commodities have been coming
down. The farmer can buy gooc
tractor today for 1895, as compared
with practically twice that amount
some months ago.
Millions of farmers, coming into
the market to buy all the things
which for many months they have
gone without buying-farm tools
clothing, furnishings, everything
which they and their families neec
and use-will have a far-reaching eff

Malta, April 14.-According to W

bureau agent, to date 227 farmers in
the county have filed application for
federal seed loans through this office.
And from present Indications it is evil
dent that a total of 300 will ask for
aid for the coming season. The first
100 applications were acted upon by
the county committee and forwarded
to the Grand Forks office the latter
part of last week, and an additional
number were sent out Wednesday.
Every effort is being made to expedite
the work and it is thought that the
greater number of applications will be
heard from within the coming week.
thus giving the farmers sufficient time
to obtain their seed for spring plant
ing. The season is backward in
Phillips county this spring and very
little work has been done on the
farms to date. There is an abundance
of moisture and farmers are optimistic
over the crop prospects and as soon
as the weather will Z permit, spring
work will begin in earnest through
out the county. -

A condition Of the settlement upon
