PRE-WAR WHEAT
PRICES HERE

The grain gamblers in Chicago
must have been reading about the
possibility of producing wheat at
the low cost of from 21A to 3 man
time hours per acre, and they
can't conceive of the permissible
ity of anyone in the agricultural
districts being able to make
enough to enjoy more than a bare
living. So the price has been go
ing boom back to normally while
the legislators waste time SQUAD
bling over what form of relief
they are going to prescribe. Farm
ers out here are able to get by
with low priced land, high pre-
MUM wheat and scientific meth
DDS of weed control. but what of
the poor farmers in the east who
are trying to grow grain on high
priced, weed infested land that
will produce nothing but a second
grade of soft wheat anyway?
Many of them are so deeply in
debt that they are practically
chained to the treadmill. They
can't let go or they will lose what
they have invested. and many Of
them can't come west unless they
can at least get their equity out
Of their farms. So there you are.

a GLORIOUS RAIN

The rain that fell the early part
of the week - particularly We'd
nesday-was a Godsend to this
country. The extreme dryness of
last fall prevented the ground
from having that deep reserve of
moisture that is depended on to
carry the grain on until the June
rains begin. Properly fallowed
and summer titled fields ere not
suffering, but there was consider
able apprehension felt on the part
of many, that there was not suf-
ficient moisture to take care of
the grain at this stage. The rain
may have put the roads in a de-
plorable condition but it was a
great heart lightener.
