What Is Wrong With the Growing Of Wheat?

"hat s the matter with wheat
lhe industry is facing serious con
ditlon, it is generally agreed: Tba,
something is the matter with whea,
IS pretty obvious. You can look a,
the bank accounts of the growers and
tell that You don't have TO do that
the growers win save you the
trouble and tell you all about it.
There is no secret in the matter. With
the farmer 5 wheat nearly ready to 90
to market, the market far from salts
factory, with some chance that il will
get worse instead of better.
The president had little talk with
one of these growers in Kansas Sat
urday and was told that the receipts
this year would be $3.50 per acre and
the expenses $500, or a profit of l0e
per acre and for quarter section
Sl60. The figures by which the re
suit was reached were given but they
are irreyelant as to detail here as not
good for generalizations This par
ticular farmer may have allowed for
wages to himself and family the year
around in his expense account, and he
may not. The only revenue he allows
the farm is that from wheat, and so
all the way through such statements
afford no basis for drawing general
conclusions. But at that, and taking
wide survey, wheat growing is in an
unsatisfactory position.
One thing that seems to be the
matter is that the European wheat
producer outside of Russia has recov
cred his old position much more nearly |
than the wheat consumer in Europe |
mas. The man who used to buy Amer |
can wheat isn't able to buy it now,
while the man who used to sell his |
wheat in competition with American /
wheat is getting back into form, with |
he possible exception of Russia And /
ven in Russia, it is being said, crops
will begin to get back to normal next
ear.
Another thing that has happened to
wheat is that Canada and the Argen-
inc did well in the wheat crop line
ast year-so well that American ex-
orts in: wheat fell off heavily, while
ur 1922 crop was larger than in 1921. I,

be paid, as it is paid on sugar, OF
some way will have to be found fol

The cooperative wheat marketing
tagencies don Z seem to have got any

as seem TO make them impractible, un-
less perhaps for effectng some minor
economies between seller and buyer
The process of adjusting wheat
supply which was feverishly stimu
lated during the war to wheat ex-
port demand which was greatly at
tenuated by reason of the war is by
no means easy or comfortable. Dur
ing the war we raised the wheat and
loaned the foreign wheat-eaters the
money to pay us with. Now they
have to pay us with their own money
---or buy elsewhere, raise their own
OF else do without The more wheat
we raise the more we have left on
our hands to look at. That's part of
what is the matter with wheat. And
the fact that wheat bears the highest
tariff duty in the history of tariff

in congress of the farm bloc, doesn It
help much, unless the planter can sub
