SET ‘WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1925 Oil Finance High Prices for Grain Detract from Purchasing Power of the Farmers —_—_— By J. ©. ROYLE. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—Water over the dam. That is the way the keen visioned men regard the high prices for grain now obtaining. They do not count on these to assure big sales, quick payments and high pro- duction of manufactured products in the next three quarters of 1925. On the contrary, they feel that these prices are detracting from rather than adding to the purchasing power of the agricultural district. Most of the producers have sold their grain. The gain from high prices to those who have not is more than gounterbalanced by the loss to other wage earners whose dollar is not buying as much as it did stx months ago. Manufacturers and merchants realize that a world grain shortage now may be turned into a grain surplus before the year is over {f acreage and weather con- ditions lend themselves to that end. In consequence, bankers and busi- ness men in the agricultural sec- tions are doing their utmost to pre- vent increase in acreage devoted to wheat and cotton. Their stand has been backed by the United States department of agriculture, which has advised farmers that while the general business prosperity will probably maintain domestic demand during the first half of this year, it is by no means certgin that these conditions will continue. Bankers and investment houses which specialize in farm loans are not looking at the past but the future. Dispatches today from the great grain centers of the country state plainly that those farmers who have not disposed of their crops are not selling even with wheat above $2 a bushel. They probably will not do so until prices commence.to fall sharply. Appeals such as that issued by the department of agriculture have never been efficacious. The in- dividual farmer has always displayed acreage after a prosperous year. The exceptions are farmers in co- Operative associations, like the Cali- fornia Raisin Growers’ association, who are bound by agreement to the regulation of production. Even {f acreage is restricted, pro- duction this year will not drop in the same proportion. This will be due to purchase and use of new and improyed farm utilization of su implements, ich The machinery has been encouraged by three factors, the ability to buy, the necessity of replacing old and worn out ma chinery, patched up during the lean yea of farm labor. “America’s farms are nd the scarcity and high cost under- supplied with implements and have been for several McKinstry, today. years,” said A. EB. +vice president’ of the Internationa] Harvester company, “However, the farmer now seems convinced that the use of old, small capacity machines when he could replace them w ith more efficient products of larger capacity, is poor economy. Shrewd farmers are turn- {ng to highly improved farm tmple- ments to reduce labor costs and in- power crease production. This means a marked tendency toward farming.” In this connection, L. H. Blgom, secretary of the tractor and thresher department of the National Associa- tion of Farm Equipment Manufac- turers, sald: “T am net predicting a boom, but in my opinion the industry faces the most promising outlook since 1913.” Farmers aro becoming fied” all over the country. fornia 10,000 farmers’ “electri. In Cali- wives are cooking by electricity and in the last year the consumption of power along the lines served by one com- pany alone rose to 135,306,000 kilo- watt hours, a gain of over 26 million such units. The agricultural con- nected load of*the Pacific Gas and Blecfric company now amounts to above 175,000 horsepower. On Cali- Bonds New York Stocks Last Sale All.
