James Coward, probably the largest retail dealer in shoes in the country, was asked recently why leather was so high. He answered: “It takes four cows to upholster every limousine.” ‘When the wealthy limouisine owner and warring nations which demand shoes for their soldiers are bidding against each other for a limited sup- ply of leather, it is no wonder that the price soars. But the farmer isn’t to blame. The Price of Patriotism (Continued from page 3) save the nation by producting enough food. Is he to do it for nothing, while the manufacturer, using the farmers’ products, is doubling and tripling his profits during the war? Is he to lose money while the middleman and the railroads take unheard of profits for their wartime services? “Flour was $3 to $3.50 per hundred paunds when wheat was around §$1 per bushel. With wheat at $2.50 and other costs in proportion flour ought to be only $7, yet it is now $Y, and that being sold now is made of wheat that cost only $1.30. This is the price of the miller’s patriotism, to use Judge Young's phrase. “But the farmer is not trying to. make any more than a fair profit. Wheat at $2.50 at the terminals, the price decided on by the conference, is only about $2.25 at the local ele- vator. Does Judge Young mean to say that there is more than a very small profit for the farmer in that, with prices that everything the farmer uses in his business and in his home what they are? Then there is farm labor, which will be 25 to 50 per cent higher. Gasoline,' oil, feed—everything used on the farm is out of sight now and will be higher before the farmer gets his $2.50 a bushel next fall, if he does get it then. NATION IS BUILDED ON FARMERS' PATRIOTISM “To produce wheat in normal times it costs close to $1 a bushel. With everything twice as high, it will cost near $2 to produce one bushel. Every- body who touches the wheat this year after the farmer grows it will take two and three times the profits taken in normal years. Is the farmer to go bankrupt while these men get rich out of war? “This nation is built on the patriot- ism of the farmer, and it would not exist long without it in this crisis. The farmer is doing his duty in this crisis. He has planted more than he ever has before and he is working harder. He wants enough rain this year and enough farm labor, but he also wants to protect himself from going broke.” NOT TO SELL CANNERIES The Leader’s recent article, “The Strange Case of Puyallup,” which was the story of a wonderful co-operative movement in western Washington, has attracted considerable interest throughout the country. Not the least interested in it was W, H. Paulhamus himself, the man who built and made successful the farmers’' cannery busi- ness there. Mr. Paulhamus has - written the Leader a letter in which he reports that the proposition to sell the farmers’ canneries and co-operative stores to a big fruit canning corporation has not, after all, gone through. Those who read the Leader article remember that at the time the article was written Mr. Paulhamus had recommended and the farmers had agreed to sell out their enterprise, and there seemed no doubt that the deal would go through, wiping out one of the most successful co- operative ventures to be found any- where. *“I know you will be pleased to know,” writes Mr. Paulhamus, “that the sale that we had -in contemplation was not completed, for the reason that the terms which the directors of the Puy- allup and Sumner Fruit Growers’ as- sociation exacted from the buyerg did not meet the approval of the buyers.” From Mr. Paulhamus’ letter: it ‘ap- pears that the canneries:and stores'are to be ‘continued: in: the :hands of ‘the - farmers, as before, and“that' thé “most successful co-operative venture in the Pacific Northwest” is not to cease to exist. The Leader takes it that be- lievers in co-operation everywhere will be glad to hear this, for successful co- operation among farmers on a really big scale, like the Puyallup valley and the California orange growers’ enter- prises, are rare enough as it is.
