benefited entirely by this premium on
wheat. Kansas Winter wheat, mar
keted in recent weeks at from Sl.21
to $l.25, brought the farmer from 81
to s1.05, according to informed sources
mere Spring wheat from the Da-
kotas and Montana and corner of
Minnesota is quoted at from $127 to
$l.3l. The prices change from day
TO day. This would net the farmer
from A.05 to $1.10. perhaps. Last
year Spring wheat sold around 30 to
10 cents
Canadian Whent Higher.
Today Canadian wheat on the Win
nlpeg market was quoted higher than
American wheat on the Minneapolis
market. This rather cuts the ground
from under the feet of the RepubIi-
cans who are pointing with pride to
the protective tariff on wheat. What
becomes of that argument. some of
the farmers are saying. if Canadian
wheat with no tariff is selling higher
than American. The Canadian price
Is explained in part by the fact that
the wheat crop in Canada is short
this year by many millions Of BUSH
els.
The cattle situation is strange to-
DAY There is surplus of range cat
Tat cattle. The surplus of the range
cattle Is due, in part, to the high
price of corn and the uncertainty of
the price of fat cattle. The price of
lat cattle runs from about SO hunz
dred to 81, and range cattle hovere
around 50. Out of these prices must
come the freight, insurance. yardage,
feeding commissions and other
charges before the farmers get their
net returns. Three years ago and
two years ago it cost the live stock
men more to pu. their cattle on the
market in many instances than they
could get out of them. Last year the
prices were little stronger and this
year is comparable to last.
Corn Crop Differs.
The corn crop differs very much in
the various States, largely due to the
weather conditions. In southwestern
missouri. for example. the biggest and
best crop In years is expected. In
Kansas and southern and eastern Ne
braSka and part of oklahoma the
crop is big. ii is reported. But start
ing from Pittsburgh, westward to the
MISSISSIPPI the situation is not so
good; in fact. it is bad. With two
weeks more of maturing weather. the
crop in Iowa probably will be 20
TO 80 per cent crop. The prospects
are that corn will bring 81 or better.
and that there will be a shortage of
between five hundred and six hun
dred million bushels.
ON the whole. the condition of the
FARMERS appears to be better, and
there is hope for still further i'm
provement. But MANY of them are
compelled to use the money they are
getting, or VIII get, to pull them out
OF debt, which does not mean much
money jingling in their pockets. Fur
thermore, many of the farmers have
been led to believe that their condi-
ton can be improved through Ieeis-
latlon. and they are giving ear TO
promises of the Progressives.
Here is a rather typical case OF
cattle farmer. After the war he was
urged by his bankers to borrow money
to swing larger cattle deals. He
bought small punches of cattle here
and there until he had borrowed
about $4,000. When it came time. a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1924-09-18

couple of years later. to dispose of
these cattle. he found that his return
for them was some $4,000 shy Of the
amount which he was compelled to
pay on his notes. To add to his dis
treSs, the bank which loaned him the
money failed, and he had ne notes
to meet without further delay. This
farmer is broke today, and he is sure
there are many others like him.
The Progressives are making the
most of this soreness in the North
western and Western States. It'is no
time for overconfidence on the part
of the Republicans, and it is II be ex-
pected that an intensive campaign
from now until election will be made
in these agricultural States

rates us from the most bloody calam-
ity that has ever befallen the earth.
In this calamity thousands met
wounds and death daily in war which,
il seems, was wholly unnecessary
and yet which demonstrated that
nearly a half century of preparation

ELECTRIC DEVICES FOR HEAT
 ING

from any form of heat for warming rooms or buildings, big surface at comparatively low temperature must be chosen in preference to small surface at high temperature.
 This fact has been taken advantage of in a new method of warming houses by electricity. The heating elements are embodied in draught-screens, wall panels, skirting boards and mirrors, or they may be fixed under floors. A screen is a particularly effective heater on this system, because of it's very big surface. The electric elements are em- bodied in the screen, which, to all ap- pearances, is unaltered from the ordl- nary article. Temperatures of about 100 degrees F., which are comfortably warm to the hand, are found to be quite enough. With these tempera- lures, of course, there is no risk of fire; neither are the electric elements liable to failure, as in the case with high temperature electric heating and cooking apparatus.
 One advantage of the heated looking glasses or mirrors, especially in bath rooms, is that they do not become blur red with condensation. Electricity for heating must always be more or less of luxury, but for those who can af- ford it no source of heat is so conven- tent, clean and healthy. The cost un- der this system, however, is compara- lively moderate, because of it's high ef- ficeincy.
 A four-fold serene, for instance, con sumes one unit of electricity in one and onefourth to one and one-half hours.
 This method of heating should be ideal for the early summer or autumn, when very small amounts of heat are required. The screens, panels, mirrors and mats with the heating clements can be made up of any material and in any desired form.-From Chambers Journal.
