COST OF FOOD STUFFS Senator Capper recently addressed | the Senate urging that agriculture, the nation's most important industry, be given a fair chance to pull the country out of the ditch into which i the war has gotten us, instead of longer following the present mistaken poli< y which is driving the American farmer from the land and wrecking the country's farm industry. A few extracts, follow: / "In our efforts to get rid of the high cost of living disease I fear we are in some danger of lying of tho remedy. I know, Mr. President, that it is perfectly natural for city people, lacing the burdensome cost of living, to jump to the conclusion that the first step in reducing such cost should be to bear down the price the farmer gets for produce. It seems logical, yet. under modern conditions of tiade. there was never a greater error. Farmers are selling their grain-fed beeves and hogs for less than it costs to produce them, but the consumer finds little or na change in the price of meat "The price of a single pair of shoes will keep one person in bread a whole year, but the farmer can get only >? i a r /vf o foor-unrl-m. CO.IU lur U1C Illur V* U J VMI M?v> v. half-old steer which possibly would supply the leather for eight or ten pairs of $12 shoes. A pair of calf-skin shoes costs more than the farmer gets for the calf. Somebody in between gets what is paid for the veal, while the calf-skin makes several pairs of shoes. Some Comparative Profits "It takes 4^2 bushels of wheat to make a barrel of flour. The wheat raiser gets about $8.37 for the wheat; the miller, $12.70; the baker, $58.70; and the hotel keepers, as it is doled out in thin slices, $587 * "While the wheat farmer has been forced to accept much less than the Government guaranteed prices for his wheat, and while the livestock producers have incurred immense losses, and in many instances financial bankruptcy. the only food < items in which there have been reductions during this year are: Navy beans, 30 per cent decline; plate beef. 9 per cent decline; .lo/*l t I CIIUCK ruaMS, O ^I'l iruv lirvmir, will meal, 3 per cent decline. "While the bottom fell out of the hog market, bacon went up 11 per cent above the war price of last year. "Surely nothing further is required to show that the consumer is not reaping the benefit from the losses suffered by the producer, and surely these facts should help to disabuse the public mind of the general pravalent opinion that the farmer is rolling in wealth and prospering beyond all I reason. "It is my deepest conviction. Mr. President, that what the country needs most to realize is that the surest guar antee of an endurinir national life is! a permanent, prosperous and progres-1 sive agriculture. Also that until farming is made as profitable as any other business requiring the same amount of capital, skill, ability and hard work. wo shall not attain this condition, nor 1 truly solve our cost of living problem. "Peace-making in necessities of life like meat, wheat, flour and fuel, should never again be left to the gamblers of the exchanges or to corporate monoply. "Instead of trying to force down, improperly the prices of farm pro<i?A*c thd revernment should seek bv every means to o|H-n wider markets to the farmer by lifting the embargo on wheat and wheat flour to Europe, by extending credits to European governments so that they may come back into the market for American meats, and by lowering ocean freight rates." LET'S BE A DANIEL IN 1920 Many authorities have been cited to show that most of us eat too much, and that we would be better off physically and mentally if we cut outdaily ration in half, and confined ourselves to simple foods. Now we are able to quote from the ^ _r mote in suosiannauon 01 mis mwi.?. In the book of Daniel, first chapter, we learn that Nebuchadnezzar after the capture of Jerusalem requested that several of the most prominent native > ^uths be summoned to his palace, and given a course of instruction over a period of three years. He further ordered that they were to be fed from his own table that they might be well nourished. Among those chosen was Daniel. This young man did not care to eat of the king's rich food nor drink of his wine, and so he asked the steward to serve him ami three friends with plain vegetables and water. The stew anl. however, said he disliked to do this, fearing that Daniel would appear thin and pale when he stood before the king, while his companions, in contrast, would be glowing with health. Daniel countered this objection by suggesting that they try out his plan for ten days. "And", to paraphrase the Hook of Daniel, "at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths that did eat of the king's dainties." So the trial having proved a success. the wishes of Daniel apd his friends were observed throughout the entire Deriod. "Now," we learn in conclusion, "at I the end of the time which the king had appointed for bringing the youths in. the master of the household brought them all in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king communed with them; and in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, among them was found none like Daniel."
