7 Table Based on Price Paid

farmers Contribution to
Country'S Wealth
BY MARTIN v. CALVIN

Widespread interest has been
manifested for many years in the
governments report on the hypo-
thetical or conditional value of all
crops produced in the United
States. The basis Of such valua-
ton is, what is termed 1.-The farm
price" 1 have directed attention to
the fact that that is not the pre-
ferred basis of such valuation; for
the reason that it does not give the
amount of money which, through
farm products, the farmers annual
ly contribute to the wealth Of the
entire country. You understand
that [ am making reference to the
value which comes from the sale of
farm products to the ultimate con-
sumers. For illustration, the farm
price of corn per bushel may be
fixed at SO cents a bushel the ulti-
mate consumers pay $1.40 per
bushel. If a states crop Of corn be
$4,000 900 bushels, the total value
at 1.-The farm price" would be $685.,
100000; at the price paid by the I'LL
innate consumer, the cOntrbutive
value to the wealth of the entire
country would be $S4,000,000, a diff
ference Of $4S,O00,000.
The foregoing paragraph does not
carry criticism; the sole object in
view is to fix in the public mind a
very important economic fact. On
that basis, Georgia's total crop
value for 1928 would be $550,800, 900,
compared with the value at the
farm price-$236, 395 900. You may
better appreciate the pertinency of
the comparison made when inform
ed that the general average Of all
Georgia's crops, five years, 1917
1921, amounted to $440, 100000 at
the farm price.
The Big Four i'm 1928
You will note with pleasure that
Texas, a great cotton state, led the
host in 1928 in total crop values.
Here is the array:
Texas, $1,O64, 775,000.
Iowa, $475, 1920 600.
Illinois, $3.50 500, 900.

CHAPTER X
VIZ OODROW WILSON'S atti-
w tude toward the opposite
sex was one of chivalrous
admira ton. He was stimulated al
ways by the conversations of bril-
liant women and never seemed wit
tier than in the company of alert
men and women. His conversation
was often eloquence itself.
Almost always in private talks on
and even in public speeches Mr.. Will.
son referred to woman as lady"
or to women as "ladies." To his
mind a woman was something finer
than man, finer than politics, finer
than life as men lived it. She was
a. creature to be exalted, put on a
pedestal worshipped, cared for and
protected The idea of a woman
going into politics, business and the
professions, four-square with a man,
was somewhat offensive to his SEN
sibilities.
Mr.. Wilson's prejudices against
woman suffrage were founded part
ly on his belief that the only women
interested in woman suffrage were
the aggressive, masculine-ike,
harsh-voiced type which was all
that in his southern tradition
woman should not be. He
actually encountered such types in
the early suffrage campaigns and
disliked them.
This attitude was continued and
his conversion delayed to some eX-
tent by the action of the militant
suffragettes in picketing the White
House in 1916. The militants in
England by their violence had con.
firmed his belief that the type Of
women fighting for suffrage was
offensive. He had for many years
been opposed to woman suffrage.
In 1912 Just as he became president
elect he said to a friend:
Saw Trouble Ahead
1.-THE principal objection to giving
woman the ballot is that they are
too logical. A woman's mind leaps
instantly from cause to effect, with
out anv consideration whatever for
what lies between. She thinks too
directly to be enfranchised-en bloc.
She would run into all sorts OF
trouble.
''For instance, a woman's mind
works like this If she were voting
and taking an active part in politics
as men do, and if she were desper-
ately anxious to accomplish par
ticular thing she would ignore every
obstacle that lay in her path and
try to get it by instant direct action.
Now, in politics or in life you must
take cognizance of obstacles IL
there are any. Logically they ought
not to be there. You cannot always
proceed in a direct line. You must
meet obstacles as they arise, and
deal with them the best way you
can, and get around them toward
your goal. A woman will not 90
that. If she cannot do directly and
Immediately what seems to her logi-
cal. she won't play. That is the
reason l think it inadVisable to give
the women the ballot now"
Two of Woodrow Wilson's daugh'
ters-Margaret and Jessie-were in
! favor of woman suffrage. His
youngest daughter, Eleanor, who
/ later married the secretary Of the
treasury, William Gibbs McAdoo,
was not at first suffragette.
The two daughters who favored
the cause of suffrage constantly en-
deavored to persuade Mr.. Wilson to
