The Wheat Situation

To the Editor Of The Times
Much has been written and said
lately about tho condition of the
wheat growers in the United States
their condition is deplorabie, be-
yond a doubt What is the remedy?
That is the question to be solved.
The great underlying principle that
governs the value of our wheat iii
this country when a large surplus Is
produced and on hand, is the Law
of Supply and Demand" Any move
ment by organization, cooperation or
manipulation to place a fictitious value
upon that commodity, will fail even
tually. Temporary advantages may
be gained, but are Of short duration.
and the wheat held off the legitimate
market by such methods will have to
come back and be sold on a basis fixed
by the worlds markets.
II any one will take the trouble to
look up statistical information. they
Will find that out in the worlds mar.
kets we have many customers who are
large buyers Of our wheat and flour
and for the last few years have bought
in large quantities Of both of these
commodities. AS a nation, we should
strive hard by all honorable means to
not only hold this trade, but increase
the list OF our customers abroad.
The matter OF finding a market for
our wheat is one thing-the cost of
production and delivering TO the
market is another. All these matters
can be affected by our Legislative
bodies.
Taxes, tariff and transportation are
all matters for our legislative bodies
to consider-taxes by the State Legis
lature; tariff and transportation by
the national Congress.
Reduce taxes and transportation
rates. Do away with the high pro
tective tariff, which will not only re
duce the cost OF production. but will
encourage the foreign buyer to trade
with us more literally, and will
thereby increase the competition for
our wheat abroad. which would slim.
ulate the market here at home and
make for higher prices to the pro

Science

Important improvements have been
made recently in the manufacture OF
silk by machinery. The silk worm
soon may be unnecessary.
In 1922 Marco Polo. great traveller
Of the middle ages. smuggled a few
silk-worns out Of Northern China,
whore Kubla Khan then reigned, to
Italy. These few worms started the
silk industry for Christendom. Hilaire
de Chardonnet, a French nobleman, of
recent times, studied the silk worm
and observed that 1t simply turned
wood pulp into silk. He invented a
process Of grinding the pulp and fore
ing it through a small opening SO
that It came out a continuous fiber,
For long time, this imitation silk
was considered very inferior. OF late
the process has been greatly improved
The wood pulp, or as the chemists
call it, cellulose, is now treated with
acetic acid and the resulting silk can
be made into a more handsome prod
uct than the finest work Of the silk
worm.
