W. Thatcher, general man- ager of the Farmers’ Union Terminal association, said. “While one would not expect $2.00 a bushel for Ameri- can grown wheat, it does seem that th: American farmer should be paid fair price. We have considered that the American standard of living, American taxes on land and Ameri- can costs are higher than those of Europe. Surely, this appears as more than justification for the Federal Farm board's activities in boosting American wheat prices to 25 to 30 cents more than those of Liverpool, heralded as the world market, where wheat Jan, 21, 1931, was quoted at 61 cents a bushel or nearly 17 cents be- low the Minneapolis price and more | than double 16 cents below the Min- neapolis price when transportation costs are considered. | “Why Liverpool wheat should be less than one-third what France and Germany consider a fair price for} home-grown wheat, when these coun- tries are separated only by a channel | that an American woman has swam ; across, is unexplainable. A fair price | for American grown wheat is essen- | tial to the prosperity of the nation. i The resultant increase in byying power by farmers would many times: over make up for any slight increase | serious decrease in butter prices was |erops prior to threshing, except where! needed in bread prices.” | States butter production and a de-|ing seed or feed. ~ | i HOG STEER STEER SALES |stocks of butter in cold storage to| Grand Forks, Helbling of Morton, and| J Jardine of Cass: Appropriates $10,000 FACTORS IN INCOME Prices of Livestock Have De- clined Less Than Grains, Butter, and Eggs With the return of grain market- ings to their seasonal low level for the remaining months of the crop year, the most important factors in farm income during the winter months are sales of hogs and beef steers, The price of hogs and steers have declined less as compared with last year than grains, butter and eggs have declined, according to the monthly review of agricultural condi- tions in the ninth federal reserve dis- trict. ‘The medium price of hogs at South St. Paul in December was only 15 per cent below the price in December, 1929, and the price of butcher steers was 20 per cent below the price in December, 1929. This compared with declines rainging from 21 to 56 per cent in grains, a decline of 28 per cent in butter, and s decline of 33 per cent in eggs. The more favorable price situation for hogs and steers was due to small- er market receipts than a year ago and a better cold storage situation. ‘The amount of beef in cold storage in the United States Jan. 1, 1931, was 76 million pounds, as compared with 104 million pounds a year ago and 93 age for the date.
