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."
Stanley-Post on
Pretty wedding of the Christmas
season was that of Miss Sue Stanley
and Mr. Erwin Poston, both of Johnville,
which took place at the home of
the bride's sister, Mrs. M. H. Willis,
near Bannockbum, on Tuesday afternoon,
December 23rd.
