Corn sold for 14 cents a bushel in 1896, but it was grown on land worth about a fifth as much as corn-bearing land of 1921. Dose All around, the corn raiser is in about the tight- est corner of all...He has been hit terrifically by the crash in corn prices. This prevents him from becoming a normal) buyer, so the corn situation reacts on all of u8, a ball-and-chain on busines: recovery. The American Farm Bureau Federation esti- | mates that on Nov. 1, corn stocks totaled 3,452, 000,000 bushels, not counting that stored in coun- ; try mills and elevators. This is 370,000,000 bushels more than ever were! consumed and exported in aly ‘ore year. The law of supply and demand has ‘played havoc with prices and the prosperity of corn growers. With starvation in many parts of the world, situation rises in which middle west farmers say they must burn corn this winter because it is; iprospering more from foreign trade than normal- ; cheaper than coal. Department of Agriculture says that, in heat value: eX Ton of Coal at $7.00 _ $8.50 $10.00 $11.00 $12.00 -» $13.00 $15.00 Bushel of Corn 14 cents 17 cents 20 cents 22 cents 24 cents 26’ cents 30 cents 32 cénts ie $16.00 For instance, according to:this table, if the farmer cannot get more than 20 cents a bushel for his corn, it is as cheap to burn the corn for! fuel as to buy coal at $10 a ton. And so on. Vanes Secretary Mohler of the Kansas State Board Agriculture disagrees. He believes that corn, even at the present low price, cannot be used to greater advantage than in fattenngi livestock. Corn, fed to hogs, is stored as foed for humans. A hog, fattened on cheap corn now, will in.all probability bring a satisfactory-price later when it goes to market. _ ~ Burning corn for fuel keeps the coal miner idle. Burning corn for fuel holds down the nation’s supply of hogs, which have decreased nearly: 8,- 000,000 since 1918. 2 In some instances, burning corn as fuel may be compulsory.. But, as a general proposition, it is an economic fallacy that ‘will only increase the cost ‘of living, curtail available supplies of food, | and hinder return to normal conditions. FRIGHTFUL A flying torpedo, controlled by wireless, has been perfected by Uncle Sam. It can be sent a distance of 200'miles and made to explode where wanted. g Frightful. weapons like this make it obvious that real disarmament cannot be brought about by scrapping navies or limiting standing armies. The world must disarm mentally—attain a uni- versal hatred of war—before the god of war can be securely caged. Modern ‘disarmament should begin in the labor- * atory, as well.as the steel mills and navy yard. BUYING 3 Railroads in the last month have bought $50,- 000,000 v-orth of ne® rails and equipment. They are making inquiries for, additional orders on @ huge scale. s This interests steel manufacturers, who think the next buying movement ‘n steel.will start with a flood of railroad purchases, some setting the spring of 1922 as the date. It interests the rest of us, because, so goes “steel industry, so goes general prosperity. VENUS An astronomer at Columbia University. blames’ business depression on the planet Venus. He be- lieves Venus, when near the earth, exerts a great influence on crops, which in turn regulate general business. It’s an an eight-year cycle. That is getting into astrology. But Venus may affect our crops, just as the moon makes our ocean tides. ‘The farmer who plants his crops “in the dark of the mocn” may have science with him. es Editor | Fifth Ave. Bldg.

Wa cae LOST | - Something for farmers to puzzle over: Ex- iports of leading farm products, so far this year, ihave totaled at a rate of aboiit’ $300 a year for ‘each of the 6,500,060 American farms. This compares with an average’ of $290 a year since 1912, and with $166 in the pre-war normal year, 1913. | This shows, on its surface that the farmer is jly. The joker lies in the relative decrease of the buying power of his dollar. Also, high freight. |vates are keeping him further from the export iprice than in normal times. _ ‘ GROANS Uncle Sam’s various departments in October ispent $304,157,965, of which $130,203,694 went | ito. pay interest on various forms of the national idebt. ; , ; : ' This means that interest took $1.30 out of every $3.04 extracted from the taxpayer. ‘ \which sides. wins.

The World Peace: Foundation -has taken the pains to compile figures that show how much war costs. Their publication on the eve of the con- jference is timely. The tabulations show that from 1789 to 1920 the disbursements. for war amount ito almost 80 per cent of the total expenditures of the national government. The cost of the World \war, given as $33,000,000,000, is half of the total {sum expended by the government in the period in- dicated. f |. Our bill for the titanic four years’ struggle, in ‘fact, is about three times what the Civil war cost ‘us, and that sum in its turn was as much as the government had spent on all purposes up to 1861. Is it to be wondered at that the people, not merely jof this country, but of all civilized lands, await jwith a hope that often far exceeds all that_may reasonably be expected the outcome of the mo- mentous deliberations at Washington? There is ino victory won in any way wherein this country ‘desist from arming and counter-arming would’ be. \ The peace-makers, be they. the most practical or the most visionary of mortals, are unable to erase from their minds the thought of What. the, money devoted to maiming and killing would buy lin the way of all that beautifies existence and ‘blesses mankind.
