tQuoted Loo. Tho HcraldD.
Minneapolis, Ms,N- 9.-Last week
we quoted Roger w. Babson relative
to conditions in the Industrial West.
This week Mr.. Babson treats Of the
Agricultural West.
"The Agricultural West" he says,
lis confronted with a fundamental
law which is this: the consumption
per capita of wheat decreases as a
people becomes more prosperous.
The business man eats less wheat
than his chauffeur: the chauffeur eats
less than the Italian gardener and
the gardener cats less than than the
immigrant who Just landed Each
generation OF a II family eats less
wheat than the preceding generation,
and SO it goes. This law does not
apply to cotton, sugar, rubber and
certain other products. 1t does lot
so much apply to corn, which is fed
to live stock, because as people be-
come moro prosperous they eat more
meat. and they consume more cotton,
sugar, rubber, etc. This does not
mean there is no hope for the wheat
growers; hut it does mean that the
wheat growers have a more difficult
problem than the growers of most
other products.
immigration Is Felt.
80 long as million new immi-
grants were coming into this coun-
try every year, and so long as our
birth rate remained high, there was
an increase in the demand for wheat
sufficient to take care of the excess
supply. With the immigration prac-
tcally cut off-the net gain in 1922
was only about $4,000 people-and
with the constant decline in our ma
tive birth rate, the wheat growers of
the Agricultural West are up against
very difficult proposition.
Farmers in Bad Shape
"As result of these conditions I
found the small farmers of Mime
sofa. North and South Dakota, Kan
sas Nebraska, Iowa and even those of
Missouri still in rather bad shape. 1t
Is true that conditions everywhere in
the west are much better than two
years ago. The banks are liquidat-
ing their frozen credits and the
farmers are paying their debts; but

Steaks Dies, Aged 81 Years

Milford, N. H., March 9.-Mrs.
Annie NJ. Remich, who brought fame
to a hotel and to a particular cut OF
beef steak died here yesterday aged
81. Shortly after the close of the

bridge, Mass. Her skill made the
hotel noted as a place for good food
and it was especially popular with cat
tlemen coming with their wares to

such skill in carving steaks from the
sides of heavy beef that the tender
cuts which she served soon became
known as Porter House steaks"

to Johnny Mihok, amateur boxer, yet
he risked it for half a dollar just a
few days after Howard Young, "hu-

Orange car barn, .150 feet from the

him from the roof of a tall factory
