CHICAGO, October 9.—The economic ills of the American farmer were diag- nosed yesterday by Wheeler McMillen, associate editor of the Country Home Magazine, as the result of the high cost of production rather than surplus. “I venture to deny, categorically and emphatically, that farmers are prevented from making profits because they are producing surpluses,” McM!lan told delegates to the National Association of rm Equipment lznnuh.cturers. “Surpluses do exist for high-cost farm- ers; they do not prevent profits for low- cost farmers. The farmer who sells wheat which he has raised at a cost of a dollar a bushel at $1.20, makes 20 cents, or 20 per cent. If he produces a bushel for 40 cents and sells !t for 60 likes to figure that his percen 20 per cent to 50 tage, if he way, has risen from cent.” per A. E. McKinstry, ident of the Manufacturers’ Association, and vice president of the International Harvester Co., sald in his opinion the country is “moving along toward better times.” “The trouble with general business is that people have quit buying,” McKin- stry said. “As a Nation we have swung clear over from a condition of far too great extravagance to a condition of far too great economy. It is about time for the pendulum to start back.” o Pianist Granted Divorce. LOS ANGELES, October 9 (#).—Mrs. Hester H.
