SAYS WHEAT PRICE
WILL ruin FARMER.
Wallace Predicts Agricultural
OiSaSter-HoIdS Econ
omy Necessary.

With wheat selling at considerably
less than the cost of production. thou
sands of American farmers will go
bankrupt and "other thousands will
be able to hold on only by the prac-
tice of the most grinding economy"
Secretary Wallace declared in a state
ment yesterday upon the agricultural
situation.
THE ruinously low price of wheat
is not a new agricultural disease"
said the Secretary in this statement.
1T is just one more acute symptom
of the general trouble from which
agriculture Is suffering. The disease
itself Is the distorted relationship
between prices of farm proucts and
prices of other commodities
THE sooner the people engaged in
commerce and industry frankly recog
be for all of us. The farmer could
get along fairly well with present
prices of what he has to sell II prices
OF what he must buy were down
accordingly. But prices of other
things remain high. That is what
hurts
Wages in industry and on the rail-
roads are almost twice as high as
before the war. Taxes are about
twice as high. Freight rates are
from so. to 75 per cent higher. Metals,
building materials of all kinds, are
from 30 to 100 per cent above pre-
war prices. All of these are items
in the farmers cost of production
Until a fair relationship is restored
between agriculture and industry and
commerce agriculture will be upset
and viii have reason to complain

FIXING PRICE OF WHEAT
Is OPPOSED BY BARNES
Former Grain Corporation Head
Says Precedent Would Hurt
Farmers Later

Julius H. Barnes. president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. and head of the United States
Grain corporation during the world war,
in an article in the Nations Business
declares that to fix the price of wheat
by legislation would not be feasible
No human Judgment could suggest
price,. Mr.. Barnes points out, "at
which there would be anything like uni
versal acceptance by the farm; and the
farm itself should be the last one to
establish the precedent OF fixing farm
products at any relation with a theo-
retical commodity index. for that pre-
cedent established by the farm would
be used many times afterwards TO their
distinct prejudice and loss"
A further complication. Mr. Barnes
says. lies in the difference in condition
prevailing across 5000 miles of wheat
raising territory with yield ranging
from five to fifty bushels an acre He
explains that war stabliZation of wheat
was possible by enlisting the very pro-
cesses of business as n war effort and
to their own prejudice while this action
of the affected trades now could not
be secured without the war motive of
sacrifice.

The movement of sweet potatoes from

the first week in August. has been
