STUDY OF WINTER
WHEAT BELT
CONTINUED from Page Onc.)

CONTINUED from Page Onc.)
with pasture, a hay crop such as al
faifa or some other hay and with n
cultivated crop such as corn, pots-
toes, etc, and by working in oats,
barley. rye and other crops and
enough livestock to use the pasture,
hay and corn, believe the spring
wheat farmers have as good or better
chance to make good than those far
thcr south.
Fourth: Concerted move to reduce
wheat acreage: The states | have
covered should be divided into two
groups: first, the corn states where
wheat is secondary, such as Illinois.
Iowa and Missouri with parts of
Kansas and Nebraska and second, tn,
wheat areas of Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas and Colorado.
In the first group they figure 40
bushels of corn at so cents equals
$1,000. while it takes 20 bushels of
wheat at $l.00 to make $4,000 per
acre. In this area they have cut the
corn down million acres and in.
creased the wheat 2 million acres in
thc last Few years. Whether they re-
duce wheat and increase corn this
year will depend on the relative
prices OF wheat and corn this fall.
mere is no active movement to cut
down the wheat acreage at this time.
Whilc farmers are not satisfied with
wheat prices they have no organized
move to improve the situation.
I'm the Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,
Colorado area they have different
problem. 1t is wheat or beef cattle
and with the present low values of
beef there is no movement to cut
down wheat acreage in favor of cat
tie. In Texas and Oklahoma they are
| trying cotton but the boll-wccvil is
menace and this area has increased
wheat several millions of acres in re-
cent years.
Better prices for cattle or control
or cotton enemies would result in
less wheat but these are not in sight
| at this time and as noted above there
| is no concerted move to reduce wheat
| acreage.
Wheat Price Control
Fifth: Wheat price control. All
over the strictly winter wheat grow
ing area including much of Kansas,
Oklahoma and neighboring states
there is great dissatisfaction with
wheat prices Gas there is of cattle
prices). But there is no concerted
move to get legislation, either state
or national. Kansas has just had
special session of the legislature to
| vote a Is million dollar soldiers bon
| us and the price of wheat was not
mentioned. They adjourned few
days ago.
"The movement in this territory
seems all to be toward cooperative
marketing. Practically none of the
papers or farmers organizations have
| Joined in any request for action by
Congress while many meetings are
held and papers advocate controlled
marketing by farmers"

to the general situation in most
towns. Sylacauga is one of the few
towns that did not hardly feel the
depression of year or so ago, as
the general fall off in business gave
the business houses a volumne that
was considered average by many
other towns. Not a failure was re-
corded, and in many instances new
concerns opened and flourished.
The business houses enjoy about
all the business they can handle
without any effort to secure it, and
then nearly fifty persons of the re-
ladega and other near by points be-
cause there are not enough stores to
take care of 1t.
The growth OF Sylacauga has been
largely Industrial. Most of the peo-
pie coming to town have been in
terested in promoting industrial en-
terprises, Or are connected with
their operation. Sylacauga is known
to have the largest pay rolls of any
town it's size in the state and they
are growing every day, but for some
reason the business section has not
kept pace with the demands on it.
At present there are numerous va

cants lots in the business part of
town that should be turned into pay
ing enterprises.
The town has three wholesale gro
Gerry stores and one wholesale pro-
duce and up to about a year ago
had only four first class grocery
stores However, 1t now has six. The
town only has one picture show,
which is always crowded, and many
turned away begging for admitance
on Saturdays. There is no book store
here, no shoe store, no furnishing
store, and there is an opening in al
most any other kind of mercantile
business.
On the other hand, there are three
growing banks with deposits piling
up, % Insurance agencies, four bar
Der shops employing eleven BARRIERS
daily with additional ones on Sat
urday. This shows the unbalanced
conditions of the retail business.
There are about thirty retail stores
them are small concerns.
Sylacauga has population of
about 5000 people, At present 1t Is
growing at rapid rate anyway.
There is no better evidence of thIs
fact than that found in the depot
records. These show that for years
each month receipts at the freight
depots of the city surpassed that
same month a year previous. There
was no interruption in this average
even in times of general depression
over the country.
