Staeked Over 5T Tons of Hay Per Hour giving an average for six months. Why? Look at the difference between the figure for Auvgust, whén the bulk of the wheat is thrown on the market, and the figure for the following May. This difference is not the 1 cent that Mr. Weldl’s firsy figures show, or the 81% cents that his second figures show, nor 6 cents, but 14 cents! Is it possible that Mr. Weld was afraid to give his own figures by months for fear a similar difference could be shown? Mr. Weld intimates that a 3%-cent increase in price on wheat would ap- proximately cover shrinkage (1% cents according to the United States -department of agriculture), interest and storage charges. Say we allow 4 cents for these items, however. The average wheat crop of the United States is 800,000,000 bushels. Say that half of this, instead of being sold in August, is held by the farmers until the following May. _A 10-cent gain on this 400,000,000 bushels would mean $40,000,000. CLAIM THAT GAMBLERS LOSE MONEY ABSURD 5 3. Mr. Weld’s figures showing that speculators lose money on every bushel of spring wheat they buy in the fall and sell the next spring are laughable. As Mr. Weld knows and as every farmer knows, Chicago is not a spring wheat market, except to a limited ex- tent for gambling purposes. Spring wheat is nearly all sold on the Minne- apolis market. Most of it goes into flour and the federal trade commission report shows that northwestern flour mills grinding spring wheat have been making 24 per cent profit a year on their operations. -Nor is it possible for the majority of the farmers -to harvest and market their entire crop in August. The Leader has not had opportunity to investigate the average prices: for northern spring but Henry C. Wallace, new secretary of agricul- ture, in a recent issue cf his paper, states that the average price on North Dakota farms for the five-year period preceding the war, was 83 cents for December and 95 cents for the Tollow- ing June, an increase of 7 cents. Before we close the subject of Mr. Weld we want to tell our readers something about this gentleman. Mr. Weld was formerly a member of the aculty of the University of Minne- sota. His salary-was paid by the farmers and workers of Minnesota. ‘Who was he really serving during these years when the people of Minne- sota were paying his salary ? His bias in favor of the grain gamblers and his eventual employment by the packers, in our mind, speaks for itself. We only wonder how many other men like Weld there are on the faculty of the University of Minnesota now. But the most significant point is the open alliance between the packers and the grain gamblers which Weld’s de- fense of the gamblers indicates. GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am taking the opportunity of again thanking you for the regular receipt of your valuable paper, which I find “to be crammed full with honest, reli- able, straightforward facts fgr the farmers in your country and I am glad to see that you convey to them such solid, crisp and substantial mat- ter. I hope the farmers will support your movement to the fullest extent. FRED W. PATTEN, Secretary and Acting Manager, Federated. Farmers’ Co-Opera- tive Association of South Af- rica, Ltd. Johannesburg, South Africa. ' PAGE FIFTEEN * ADVERTISEMENTS Avery 14-28 H. P. Tractor Dulling Avery Plow MeAIs more:p tham Proflts Doing farm. work with motor power means more than raising bigger crops at lower costs. It means being able to do more and better work in less time and also having opportunity to enjoy more of the worth-while pleasures. Why not get more out of farming? Think of what you could do with an Avery Tractor! Averys are the tractors with the “Draft- Horse” Motor and “Direct-Drive” Trans- . mission—a motor that pulls like a draft-horse on hard loads and a transmission that deliv- ers the most power at the drawbar and belt. Renewable inner cylinder walls, adjustable crankshaft beanngs. centrifugal gasifiers, and many other exclu- sive features also enable Avery Tractors to give better service at lower cost. The new Avery adjusted prices are baspd upon what materials cost now regardless of what we paid for them.
