The present session of congress will
doubtless witness renewed agitation
in behalf Of many mistaken efforts to
"do something for the farmer" There
have been repeated demonstrations of
the fallacious economic reasoning
which underlies such proposals as
those for the fixing of prices or For
government purchases of commodities
in order to bolster up their prices.
Nevertheless, such proposals persist.
Apart from the injustice to the tax
payers which such measures would
entail, their ultimate consequences
would be injurious to the producers
Of the commodities concerned. Effec-
tive correction of such adverse mar
ket conditions as obtain must be
sought in other directions, according
to the current Guaranty Survey, pub
lished in New York.
In the case Of wheat, for example,
it is apparent that present relatively
low prices in this country are direct

to be a busy period for the sheriff

even dozen important arrests having
been made during the past week uA-
der the direction of Sheriff Jim
Smith, on charges ranging all the way
from drunkenness to wheat stealing
and malicious destruction of cattle.

Helping the Wheat Growers

er this year than last. The yields in
Canada and Argentina, leading COM
petitors of the United States in the
expectation of wheat, are particularly
large. Moreover, large importing
countries have increased their domes-
tic production, with consequent reduc-
ton in their need for imported sup
plies.
The ruling price of wheat cannot be
fixed in Washington. Domestic wheat
which might be purchased by the gov
eminent would, if resold, still face
competition from the same sources as
now. There could be no final escape
from this competition save by de-
stroying the purchased supplies
method which would scarcely be adj
vocated by any one. Moreover, dump
wheat on foreign mrkets by the gov
eminent at less than cost, particularly
in the face Of our vigorous opposition
to dumping in our own markets, would
certainly be resented by our competi-
tors, probably with embarrassing con-
sequences for Us.

Rx ROBERT r.. HARLOW.

TROON, Scotland, June 13.-The
day before the zero" hour when
competition for the coveted British
open golf title will be started was
a welcome one for the handful OF
Americans who passed through the
tempestuous qualifying round Mon
day and Tuesday.
The small group spent today in
resting up for the rigors OF the
seventy-two-hole play on Thursday
and Friday.
Gene Sarazen. the American open
champion, maintained a brave, smil-
ing appearance dispite his over
whelming disappointment at failing
to squeeze through the qualifying
round by the narrow margin Of one
stroke.
I'm glad Walter Hagen quail

Sarazen made no alibis. but his
friends said he was annoyed oy the
rainy weather.

for him to come in with q SO in
order to qualify. Few in the large
gallery thought Hagen had a
chance. Then suddenly Hagen
found himself and accomplished the
seemingly impossible.
Great credit is due George Aul-
bach, of Boston, one Of the Amer
leans who qualified. Several weeks
ago he was practically an unknown.
Most golf critics here favor the
chances of Macdonald Smith, the
California crack, of winning the
tournament. The writer, however,
leans toward Hagen.

Harry Vardon and Roger Weth-
cred. will have able representatives
