DANGER IN UNFAIR OR TOO
RADICAL A REDUCTION IN
PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS
There is a serious danger in any
effort to greatly or rapidly reduce
prices. Especially would an un
even of disproportionate reduc
tion in wages and the prices of
farm products be likely to result
seriously to general business pros
perity and lead to political and so
cial unrest and disturbance of a
grave character.
Particularly are those who are
so loudly clamoring for a reduc
tion of food prices to be caution
ed against the results which will
certainly follow a reduction of the

Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, helped Mrs. Wil
liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: "1 had a
general breaking-down
of my health. I was in
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. I had such a
weakness and dizziness,
... and the pains were
very severe. A friend
told me 1 had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui ? . . . I did, and
soon saw it was helping
me ... After 12 bottles,
1 am strong and well.”

CAR DUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered —it
should help you back to
health.
Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

prices of farm products below the
cost of production at a fair living
wage to tiie producer. There is
no sort of doubt but the prosper
ity of the farmer leads to the
greatest prosperity to the wage
earner. If the large laboring
classes of the farm must work at
a starvation wage, the time will
not be long until other smaller
groups of laborers must also work
for reduced wages. If this were
brought about in no other way,
the low wages of the farm would
drive laborers from the farms to
other industries as it has in the
past, and wages would he depress
ed directly by competition and in
direetly by lessening farm pro
duction and increasing food
prices.
It is true that some manufact
ured products are now selling for
too high a price, or the profits are
too great. It is also true that some
farm products and foodstuffs may
he expected to decline in prices;
but anything like a sudden or
great decline in the prices of farm
products, and especially a dispro
portionate reduction in the prices
of farm products, would he disas
trous to business in general and
and indirectly to the wage-earners
of our cities and towns.
We believe it can be clearly
shown that $1.90 to $2 a bushel for
wheat, $1.20 to $1.25 a bushel for
corn and 23 cents a pound for cot
ton, which are about double our
average prices for our pre-war
decade, are not too high. Lower
prices than these do not allow a
wage for the farmer proportion
ate to the wages in other indus
tries, and lower prices than these
will not keep sufficient people on
the farms and develope and main-

tain an inteligent and satisfied ru
ral population. It is true that for
our pre-war decade we only aver
aged a price of 96.6 cents a bush
el for wheat, 61 cents a bushel for
corn and 11.8 cents a pound for
cotton; hut we know that in the
South, at least, where cotton and
corn are largely produced, we
were only able to produce these
crops at those prices because the
farm laborers received starvation
wages, in many eases working at
from 50 cents to 75 cents a day
and boarding themselves.
It is no more to the interest of
the city resident or laborers in
other industries hat the prices of
farm products descend to their
former low, unfair and degrading
levels than it is to the interest of
the farmer. Those who wich for
continued business prosperity
should think seriously before they
seek to depress farm prices for
food production can only be main
tained by fair prices to the farm
er. Farm labor has learned thru
the experiences of the war, and
unless it can receive a proportion
ate living wage, it will not remain
on the farm and produce food
