FURNISHED to the kennebcc Jour
nal through the courtesy Of J. A.
Carnage & Co, Of Augusta and Wa
terville)
Washington. Sept. 1s.-six principal
crops now being harvested by 6,000.-
600 farmers of the United States are
worth approximately s5,70S, 100000 to
their producers at current prices &C
cordng to an official appraisal just is
sued by the Department Of Agricul-
ture.
These crops and their current val
ucs are as follows:
Wheat $721 900 900; corn s1.S03, 000,-
900; oats s404,000.000 cotton s1,11S;-
100000; potatoes. white and sweet,
$500. O0O0 900; and hay, both wild and
tame, $1,160,000, 900.
Farmers with this degree of pros
, perity in sight, will be enabled to
finance their buying requirements this
fall far more easily than at any
time during the last two years, govern
ment officials believe. Not only farm
proprietors. but the entire rural popu-
lation as we'll, will derive benefit from
the harvest. A large percentage of
that section of the population known
as rural" although resident in small
towns nevertheless derives financial
support from employment on farms.
With the completion of the harvest.
the farm and rural population groups
will be able TO come into the market
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-09-19

, for the manufactured products of the
city. according TO well defined enon
omic law. Prosperity for the city
dweller is thus reflected directly from
prosperity in the rural sections.
The 1922 financial return to farmers
for their products in many cases will
exceed the return of last year, the Off
cial reports show, as a result of ma
terial increases in prices paid at the
farm gate.
Corn on Sept. / sold throughout
the United States at an average price
Of 62.7 cents per bushel. A year ago
the average price was but 56.2 cents
These prices are those actually re
ccivod by producers at the farm gates.
Cotton shows an advance from 1876
cents per pound (average) to all
cents. The price of oats has advanced
from 3e.1 to 32.2 cents per bushcl.
Wild hay that brought the farmer
$3.50 a ton a year ago now nets $7.76.
Beans show an advance of nearly so
per cent during the year.
Wheat and some other crops show a
price decline in comparison with a year
! ago. Owing to an increase in the size
of the harvest, however. the return to
agriculture for the entire crop will be
| approximately equal to the return of
1921.
Wheat prices are likely to advance
during the next few months, it is be-
lieved. owing to poor harvests abroad.

EntOmbed Miners Dead
CONTINUED from Pace One)

Tllson, Republican, Connecticut, and
similar one has been presented in
! the Senate by Senator Wadsworth,
| Republican, New York. chairman of
the Senate military affairs commit
tee.
Continuation ofthe dye embargo act
is urged by Secretary Mellon, who, in
a letter to Senator Mclean of Con-
necticut, a Republican of the finance
committee. declared that administra-
ton of the dye duties in the perman-
ent tariff bill on the basis of Ameri-
| can valuation would be difficult for
time, because additional machinery
would have to be set up.
In his attack on the tariff Sena-
tor Simmons took issue with a state
ment by Chairman McCumber of the
! finance committee that the level of
the equivalent ad valorems in this
measure was below the level OF those
in the famous Payne Aldrich law
He contended that actually the level
was higher and that if in actual oper-
alton of the bill it should prove to
f, be lower, it would be because many
of the rates We're absolutely prohibit
| tive"
Referring to the raw wool rate of
81 cents a secured pound, Senator
Simmons said it appeared as though
| the Republicans were making de
! liberate effort to mislead the people
and falsify the facts" He read off
! figures to show that the emergency
tariff on wool had worked out at %
| IL cents a pound. or 8 IL cents less
than that proposed in the pending
measure.
Summing up his address, the North
| Carolina senator declared that be-
| fore the tariff had been in force =
year the consumers would be pay
| ing more taxes indirectly in the way
of increased prices than were collect
! ed out of the people during the year
of the world war when the country
| was maintaining four million men on
| foreign soil and had to finance not
| only itself but it's allies"
at will cost the American people
| from s3.O0O.O00,0OO to $4,000, 900. 900
| at the start" he continued. "and
double that amount at the end"
