The recent sensational advance in
wheat prices has added material
strength to the farm dollar. From
Kansas come reports that wheat has
replaced oil as the rapid source OF
wealth. We are told that poor tenant
farmers who have struggled for years.
many in the southwestern part of the
State being compelled last fall to ap-
peal to the public for seed wheat loans
to seed this years crop, find them
selves wealthy today.
Many others VINO had purchased farms
with small payment and who expected
to have mortgages hanging over these
farms for years, are in a position to
pay off the mortgages, buy more land,
build new houses and barns or buy
motor cars and ether things they have
denied themselves for years"
Reports from the four Northwestern
States of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana also tell of prom
ises of good yields of not only wheat,
but other farm crops. The steadily
rising prices are adding further prom
Use of real prosperity this year for
these farmers.
The spring song of the calamity
howlers-"Pity the poor farmers who
have wheat to sell'-is decidedly out
of place now. Nature has stepped in
to bring discordancy to the strain. The

ing by leaps and bounds and there

malcontents are being reduced to neg

Farm Dollar Growing
(The Wall Street News)


Figures just made public by the Blu
reau of Agricultural Economics show
ing that the purchasing power of the
farmers dollar IS greater today than
at any time since 1913, should give the
La Toilette party leaders and others
who see bankruptcy staring American
agriculture in the face, something to
chew over. The products the farmer
has to sell are bringing more money
and many of the commodities he has to
buy are declining in price. There is no
question but that the wide spread be-
tween this index Of the price of farm
produces and that of other commodi-
ties not only has been disturbing fac
tor in the economic situation in gen
eral, but has wiped out both profits
and wages on many farms. with the
re-establishment of a fair ratio" says
the Bureau, such as is now being ap-
preached. the farmer will again be
placed where he can expect a reason
able return for his labor and capital"

averages of prices received by farm
ers for farm products On May Is, 1913,

med a song at the thought that she

When the hollow nest was finished,
she hunted about until she found a
pebble. Picking 1t up in her strong
Jaws, she carried it over and laid it
for a roof above the hollow. Then

hearing all that had happened.

day, he hoped up the winding
trail and, sitting down on the big
wooden bench, watched Mrs. Wasp
dig a tunnel from one side right int
the hollow space. When this was
done, she few away, only to return
some time later carrying a cater
pillar which she had stung to death.
Dragging it into the tunnel, she
quickly laid her egg. Then. cover

brushed up the dust to hide her

AS the little rabbit sat on the big
wooden bench outside the Big
Brown Bears Cosy Cave House,
where we left him in the last story,
sucking a lollypop and waiting for
his kind old furry friend to come
home, he spied wasp. running
hither and thither, her wings folded
close along her back. A bright red
band ran around her waist like a
sash, SO the little bunny thought,
although l don't know whether
Mrs. Wasp had bought it at the
Three In One-Cent Store or not.
! Suddenly, she stopped at a large
| crack in the rocks filled with dry
earth and began to scratch with her
foremost feet. After deepening the
hole, she dug out the dirt with her
jaws, and gathering it up between
her chin and elbows, backed out and
carried it away.
"Oh, Mrs. Redsash Wasp" ex-
claimed the little rabbit. You can
dig as we'll as Chippy Chipmunk."
Don't hinder me, bunny boy" an
swered Mrs. Wasp. I'm in a
hurry"
Pretty soon she had dug so deep
