THE price index Of all commodi-
ties including farm products, Mt the
end Of 1920 was 30 points lower
than the year before, but farm prod
ucts alone lost 100. A year later
the general average, with farm prod
ucts included, showed a total de-
cline Of SO points for the two-year
period, while the farm products
alone we're down 1871. These fig
ures prove that the loss Of l,500s-
000,0 was in price deflation and
not in decreased output.
This is a fact that should not be
lost sight Of in any discussion Of the
national income or national wealth
II is true there has been a large
addition 60 the national wealth, but
n the per capita income were re-
duced 20 the purchasing power Of
1913, the increase would be small
Our figures Of wealth and income
are not an real, for wealth is based
on the output Of production, be Il
crops or manufactured goods.
Although much Of the supposed
increase IN wealth is due 20 infla-
ton, not all is nominal There has
been an increase IN production, both
in agriculture and In manufacturers.
But when the two are placed side
by side the comparison IS not fav-
orable 60 agriculture. This industry
which we are 50 fond u calling the
basic, as il really is. IS now be-
hind IN the race. Il has not kept
up with population increase, and
The rer capita output ~ industry Is

want to come to the Plains and there should be

The distressing report comes from the south

result of the excessive rains. Many thousand of
acres of farming land has been washed and ruin

While we are of the opinion that there will
be short cotton crop this year and that cotton
will bring real good price this fall. we still con
tend that our farmers should not go all to cotton.
Plant as much cotton you want. but do not neg
lect the feed crop. Corn. Sudan maize kafir,
etc. should occupy important place on the pro-
gram of our farmers. This will make you safe,
just as diversified farming will in this country very
year.

We under stand that most all the property

Avenue O to Avenue on the north side Of the

city should get busy and join this bunch of pro-

This line should be extended both sides
of the street to the new High School building

Come on in with the funds to put up those

last issue of the Avalanche we have received sew

still long way from S 300 1t is important that
this money be raised Immediately, and you should
not be slow in responding to this fund. One old
gentleman came in and said he was really not able
to contribute ten dollars to that anything else
Just at this time but he felt it his patriotic duty to
contribute something to the cause and gave his
check for ten dollars and said that II II was alb
solutely necessary that he would try to scratch up
some more. but it should not be necessary. Sure
" there are 80 men and women in Lubbock who
are willing to contribute ten dollars. hat Is all
that is needed from person and while the
amount has been placed dollars. do not stand
back if you cannot give that much. ] 800 one dol
lar men could do the same. but it merely makes
the work more tedious We want about 100 more
men to kick in with $1,000. Mail bring your
checks to the Avalanche office A list of those
who have paid will be in next issue. Come
on folks. let's close up this fund now, and turn
it over to Uncle Sam and let him begin work here

As we nave sugge.ted before. de BOYS shouId

AS we have suggested before the boys should
be given chance while they are out of school
to earn some money. but the most important fea-
ture about this is the employment that they need.
They get book learning nine months out Of twelve,
and the other three months should by all means
be used in applying this book knowledge in a
practical way. which will be worth much to them
in years to come Every business house where a
job can be given should be rendered some am
bilious boy. A job on the farm ranch would
not be bad for many of them during the summer
months or till school begins again.

Reports from down state are to the
effect that knauf has had some great
instruction.. He Ia been working
with Leo kossick and Johnny. They
say he is fast and carries a neat
punch.
Miller was unable to make connec-
tons in a scheduled appearance at
