INJUSTICE TO
THE FARMER
He Does Not Really Receive
the Market Prices
Quoted.
We note in the political journal
the editor says, as an explana
tion of the election of Mr. Wilson,
“the farmer has been selling' his
wheat for $1.50 and upward, and
that this was one reason why
the western farmers supported
the administration.”
The farmer nowhere has been
selling his wheat for $1.50 and
upward. $1.50 wheat is city
wheat, or wheat in New York or
wheat in London. Wheat on the
farm, on an average, has'been
less than a dollar.
This form of reading the mar
ket renorts does great injustice
to the work of the American
farmer. City men cannot under
stand why they are not rolling in
wealth with wheat selling for
$1.50 and cotton selling for 20
cents. Wheat is now selling in
Chicago at SI.BO. The crop is
short, bread is high and hungry
people complain. Some of them
are complaining about the far
mer, but the farmer sold his
wheat this year at not over one
dollar a bushel, on the average.
But because this i 3 so; because
the farmer does not get these full
prices for wheat or milk or cot
ton or cattle, he must study the
cost and conditions determining
the profit or loss in farming.
One of the conditions is the
labor condition. As our contri
butor, Rhea Hayne, says, cities
are increasing in size and they
are paying wages to attract labor
from the farm. It becomes a
matter, therefore, of first im
portance that the farmer get, as
soon as he possibly can, the best
labor-saving implements that he
can use to advantage. The
Southern farmer, especially, must
get the habit of substituting me
chanical deyices for the uncer
tain labor of the average farm
hand. Study the advertising
columns of your agricultural
newspaper. Put yourself into
correspondence with the manu
factures, with the merchants
that sell these implements, new
and old; have your boys master
the simple mechanical contri
vances used, and then you be
come more and more independent
of farm labor.
Moreover, the use of these ma
chines not only reduces the cost
of production, but it increases
the yield. You can cultivate your
fields better; you can take more
care of the fields and of the crop
at every stage of the season, and
wind up the year with larger
crops and better profits, that are
a cause for thanksgiving.—Home

Guardsmen Indicted
For Fight in Auto.
Macon, Nov. 16.—True bills
for assault with intent to mur
der and for stealing an automo
bile were Wednesday returned
by the Bibb Grand Jury against
Houston P. Williams and Louis F.

Macon Man Proves
Success of Invention.
B. B. Bowers has returned
from Hawkinsville on the lowest
water that a boat or barge ever
traveled over, with his “crank
baddle wheel,” which was in
vented by him. He brought up
a load of household goods and
camping equipment, using a
small six horse power gasoline
engine, a feat which could not be
accomplished with an ordinary
paddle wheel with three times
the powder, he said. The boat is
tied up opposite the landing above
the Central City Park.—Macon
