in 1924 about so per cent of the
worlds output outside Of Russia
amount to 1855, OOO, 900 bushels as
compared with 1871, 100000 bushels
produced in the same countries last
year. The wheat crops of the world,
excluding Russia, will be 10 per cent
smaller than a year ago.
1t is this marked reduction in the
worlds crop which has been reflected
in the steady advance of wheat pric-
es in recent weeks.

AN ALLOPATHIC DOSE

A man in Roanoke, Virginia, claimed exemption from tax
on $4,000 which he said was given to him by a coal company as
a gratuity, and as a gift was not taxable. The new Z. S. Board of
Tax Appeals looked into the matter a little further and found
that the company had been making distributions of this sort to
its officers, and had deducted them as salary. So the Roanoke
man had to pay the tax. The transaction occurred prior to the
law which made gifts taxable. The Roanoke man will no boubt
be a little ruffled at the Boards decision, yet it seems to have
been just. Perhaps he will fall in line with others who are
clamoring for tax reduction, which President Coolidge has made
the dominant issue of the campaign.

WHICH SIDE

The Democratic leader of Texas balks at a woman for Cover
nor Oh the state, and ne has forwarded his resignation to Cematis
L. Shaver, National Democratic Chairman. "Woman,s r;ob4fuI
place is by the side of man. said Brother Charles, Vice Presiden-
tEal nominee of the Democrats. But evidently the Democratic
leader does not believe that mans place is by the side of woman.
Mrs. Emily Blair, of the Democratic National Committee is kind1v
requested to explain this lack of gaIlantry.

Candidate Wheeler, of the Third Party, says that his war
record is the thing OF which he is most proud. Well, quite likely
that Is the part OF his record which is most ~creditable. But the
country will not overlook the fact that the Montana organizations
working for the success of the United States in the war adopted
resolutions condemning him and opposing his reappointment as
District Attorney. If his war record is his greatest object of
pride, he is in a mighty bad fix. 49,.

ALSO THE BUDGET

Lots OF people are praiSing Dawes because he devised the
plan which is putting Europe on her feet. But an earlier and
from our standpoint an even great accomplishment was his sue
cess in establishing our Budget System on a practical and eff
fectlve working basis. His work in that particular will show
results for many years to come.

Were La Toilette not in the race there
is little doubt but that Coolidge would
carry it. However, La Toilette has
the support of the six strong Scripps-
Howard newspapers in Ohio, so there
is the possibility of the state going
to the third party candidate.
In Oklahoma, Coolidge is as likely
to lose as he is to win. Oklahoma is
a southern border state and usually
goes Democratic. SO if Coolidge
should win Ohio, lose Oklahoma-and
maybe Utah-credited to him in this
poll, he would still be shy votes in
the electoral college for election.
This presidential poll shows, as dc
other leading straw votes now being
taken, such as the Literary Digest
and Hearst newspaper polls, that
there is a strong possibility of the
election being thrown into congress

THE wheat EXPORT SITUATION
NOT RESULT Of MANIPULATION

the dependence of Europe on North
American food products and there Is
every indication of a growing demand
upon this country for such supplies.
Greatly increased c~learances of wheat
for export, now being reported, are
the tokens of this situation. Response
to European necessities is also indi-
Gated in the increased prices for other
grains, notably rye, barley and oats.
This situation is obviously signifi-
can't in relation to the probable ex-
ports and the value of the whole cur
rent American crop. Exports Of
wheat have been seriously diminished
in the last fiscal year as compared
with the years Immediately preceding.
during the II months ended June
80, 1923, there were exported 1884,
950,971 bushels of wheat, valued at
1892, 951 900. The year before the
record was 2O8, 1921, O91 bushels, worth
$279,656.478.
For the year ended June g., 1924,
the total exports were only 78,793,034
bushels, valued at $87, 2,5O1, o + less
than one-half the value of the exports
for the fiscal year 1923 and less than
one-third of those for 1922. Howev-
er, in August, 1924, wheat exports
were 15,296,OOO bushels, as compared
with 14,198 ,267 in August, 1928; and
in the first three weeks of September
the total was 3O,194,6 $50 bushels, as
against 15,129,538 in the correspond
ing period a year ago.
Effects on Prices
The export value per bushel as re-
ported officially in July, 1923, was
$1.18, and in March, 1924, $1.O6. By
July, 1924, this value had risen to
SIPS, and during the last two months
there has been a further increase in
price. During September there was a
marked development of European de.
mand. 1t is evident that all condi.
lions are now propitious for the con.
sumption of exports upon the levels
Of the earlier years.

upon facts secured from the United
States Department Of Commerce, n
the hope that it may clear up con-
fusion on this point. and contribute
toward straighter thinking on our
wheat price problem. While I am
drawing the only conclusions that
seem to me to be possible, at the time
l suggest that readers familiarize
themselves with these facts, in order

Wheat Drawback Provision

1922 under which foreign wheat NAV

port. 1t is necessary first &c get l.

BIG SLUMP IN
Price OF HOGS
Values Drop Use to S1.OO-
Cattle Close Strong
After Severe Cut

(By U. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics and Minnesota Dept. Of
Agricultural
South st. Paul, Oct. 18.-Decidedly
heavier hog receipts forced a sharp
reaction from last weeks somewhat
top heavy prices. Good butcher and
bacon hogs suffered a loss of fully
$1.OO from last weeks close to Thurs
day of this week when top hogs rested
at $1O.15. A slight gain or Friday
was lost today, bulk of the better
grades realizing SOLO, with packing
sOws which suffered relatively less
loss, going to packers at $3.50 for the
most part. Feeder pigs which arrived
in liberal numbers held steady during
the entire week, $500 to $500 taking
nearly all offerings.
Packers continued their bearish at
titudes toward killing classes of cat-
tie throughout most of the present
week. However, this tendency hal
disappeared on closing sessions and
though prices are not quotably higher,
all classes are moving much more
freely than for some time. Inbetweea
grades Of butcher stock suffered the
maximum loss Of around 25c. better
grades and tanners and cutters show.
ing relatively less decline. Stocker
and feeder material began to move
freely about midweek and values on
better grades are closing strong to
25c higher with inbetween grades
steady.
A feature of this weeks trade was
the arrival on Friday Of a load of
choice 800 pound yearlings which
cashed at the years top price of
$lO.75. Most of the steers offered
sold between $500 and 1925 with a
few loads of outstanding quality max
ing $7.25. Fat cows and heifers cash
ed largely at $500 to $500 with can
ners and cutters moving SLOWLY at
$500 to $3.50. Bologna bulls strength
ened somewhat, a spread of S2.75 to
$40 taking most of the general run
at the close. Veal calves have shown
little change during the week, $500
taking most of the better lights
through local killing channels. A $500
to $3.50 range embraced most of the
feeder class this week with best fleshy
offerings earning $3.50 on Monday.
Increased receipts in the sheephouse
pushed fat lamb values downward soc
this week, bulk of native fat lambs
selling at $11.5O to $3.50, untrimmed
kinds taking the lower figure. Heavy
lambs realized $1,000 to sI1.Oo with
culls scoring at $500 to $3.50. Fat
ewes turned to packers between S4.5o
and $6.4O with breeding ewes m q
$3.50. A few loads of good cbo;e.
range feeding lambs realized $40 e

among American farmers and give a
decided impetus to general trade and
industry.
The estimate Of the wheat crop
of the United States by the depart
ment of Agriculture, announced or
September 9, was 837,OOO,OOO bushels
as compared with a harvest of 1885,
600, 900 bushels last year and an aY-
erage for the five years 1919-1923 OF
854, 600, 900 bushels.
Situation Abroad
The condition of the wheat crops II

favorable, the Survey says. The lat

crop is 291, $1,000 bushels, as com
