GRAIN FAMINE
SLIKELTHOOD
Acreage Cuts and Drought
In u. S. and Australia
Indicate Shortage

Washington. - Bulletins from
Australia and Argentina indicate
danger of great shortage in the
coming winters wheat crop in the
southern hemisphere. If this trend
is continued there is grave likli-
hood of grain famine, according
to the U. S. Department Of Agrd-
culture.
Such a famile, in spite of the
$50, 0OO, 900 bushels carry-over Il
wheat in the U. S., might drive the
price of wheat up to $3.50 next
summer, it is reported.
This would not help the situation
of the American farmers, since the
crop in great parts if Nebraska,
North Dakota and Montana is al
ready wiped out. Higher prices
would cut down the buying power
of the working man and if infla-
ton continues the cost Of living
would be so high that farmers IN
/ drought areas would be worse off
than before.

to maintain the profits of the milk
trust the Roosevelt government
has decreed that all milk dealers
will have to be licensed under the
Agricultural Adjustment Act as

put into effect in any one area.
This policy has been agreed on
by Roosevelt and Attorney Cen
eral Cummings. 1t is being put
thru in order to prevent the small
dealers from cutting prices anc
thus lowering the prices of the
milk trust.
All dealers will be licensed
whether they apply for the licens'
or not. The government is inter
ested, rot in maintaining prices t
the farmers but in keeping price
to the city workers high so tina
the milk trust will be protected.

tailed more than $4,000 bales

ling and living on his farm for
almost twenty years and had
taken a mortgage on his place

The interest has been paid regu-
larly and amounts to almost as

decided to foreclose. This indi-
vidual, one John Lahti of CHS

look after and has been able to
pile up a considerable amount of
wealth. Therefore, this foreclos-
