TO
POCKET PROFITS,
FARMER ASSERTS.
Grain Growers VIII Get
Nothing Out Of High
Prices, Is Claim.

BIZ United Press
WHEATON, Mimi, July 25.-"The
Spectator and not the farmer is
pocketing profits from present live
stock and grain markets.
Nov that prices are up the farm
ers have nothing much to sell.
80 far as agricultural relief is
concerned, the present situation
means nothing. 1t is fictitious
market"
This is the statement OF F. w.
Murphy, chairman of the executive
board of the American Council of
Agriculture. He is a dirt farmer
himself.
Nothing for Farmer
1.-THE farmer is getting absolutely
nothing out of the present market"
Murphy told the United Press.
Even if he had grain to sell he
could make no profit on the mar
ket today, for il costs $1.75 to pro
duce bushel of wheat, 60 cents
TO produce a bushel Of oats and 81
a hundred to produce hogs for mar
ket," he said.
ION the first of July when prices
started upward the average farmer
had. not more than 10 per cent of
last years crop in storage. This
he needs for feed until the new crop
is harvested, and what he doesn't
feed he must save for seed until
this years crop is in and he is sure
of seed for the next year.
ION today's market the purchas-
ing power OF the farmer is only 70
per cent of what it was in 1918. The
farmers purchasing power depends
upon prices at the primary market
and not at the terminal market.
THE farmer has to pay the freight
to the terminal market and he has
to pay the freight from the terminal
market to the farm on what he buys.
Freight rates are twice as high as
they were in 1918.

Although only about 90 tons of

there would soon be a rapid increase
in the quantity shipped. In 1923 the
entire number of reindeer in the Ter

ing to estimates made in &C herds
The increase in the number of rein
deer in Alaska each year runs from
33 to As per cent of the total number
of animals in the herd. This percen-
tage can be raised by a better under
standing of herd management on the
part of the Eskimos and other own
ers. and better business methods in
marketing the meat will result in a
higher output. The Biological Sur
