Why don’t the political farmers get a share out Iof these trade tricks and hand it over ; to the hograisers and wheat growers now instead of telling them that they ought to have got something like it several years ago. Early in the world war the United States War Department, possibly with good intentions—which some­ times pave the way to Hades—adopt­ ed the “cost-plus” plan of making con­ tracts for war material of all kinds heeded by the government. Now it seems nesessary to make a diagram of “cost-plus for comprehension by readers who apparently know little about spring wheat and nothing at all about the complete collapse of the Br i t i sh McNary-Haugen rubber scheme, although the smaller tjires, almost as common nowadays as bread,- have dropped about one-half in price, and the larger ones in proportion. “Cost-plus” worked this way—its wonders to perform. The government agreed to pay,all the cost plus say ten per cent on that cost as profit to the contractor, r This absolutely indefen­ sible plan put a golden premium on profit-plundering. Patriotism was .swamped.without a trace. Every dis­ honest contractor in the country used every device possible to increase the cost so that the* ten per cent on that cost would yield, him the maximum profit obtainable. The real cost of the world war to the United States was about trebled by the adoption and use of such schemes. They are reflected in the excessive taxation of the pres­ ent day, a very large part of which is shifted over on farmers, The war ended and, shortly after, government contracting agencies, food administration,' grain corporation and most other boards or commissions end­ ed, but the spirit o f profit-plundering marched brazenly onward and upward. Speculation was rampant, the cost of living mounted higher and higher, until it became unbearable. In the summer of 1919, on account of the in­ creasing Cost of living, the great rail- wny.labor organizations, whose united action could have paralyzed the*whole business1 of the country within forty hours, threatened to strike unless wages were raised. To meet the,issue the policy o f deflation was. inaugur­ ated, In his message to Congress Aug. 8,1919, President Wilson said; “What'we can do we should do at once, and there is a great deal we can do, provisional though it be. Wheat shipments and credit's to facilitate the purchase of our.wheat can and will be' limited and controlled in .such a way as not to raise hut rather tp lower the price of flour. The government has powerwithin certain limits to regulate them.*' Beginning in December, 1919, and Continuing for Several monthp the Federal Reserve Board radically en forced a drastic deflation policy- withdrawing a billion dollars of credit —with the result of production slump in the prices of-the farm products of 1920. - For example take the Chicago market price of No. 2 Red Winter Wheat July, 1920 ____________ -,-,42.80 August, 1920 *______ 2,47 September, 1020 ____ 2.49 October,. 1920 *___ 2.20 November, 1920 ______ 2.06 December, 1920 __ ______ ,____ 2.01 January, 1921 —___ 1,90 February, 1921__ 1.91 March, 1921 _____________ 1.07 April, 1921-------- 1.38 May, 1921----------- 1,56 June, 1921__ -__ — —_________1.43 During the same period of time at the, Chicago market the price of No# 3 com fell from $1.53 to 60c; the price of light hogs (No. 3) from $15.88 to $8.26, and the price of choice steers from $15,38 to $8.09. At our local market the price of No, 2 red winter wheat fell from $2.65 down to ' the dollar mark# Formers got along fairly well dur­ ing the war period in spite of getting the worst from the profiteering that went on. It was deflation in 1920 that knocked agriculture off its feet, and excessive taxation is holding it down, just now politicians are raising a smoke screen to hide thu real, impor­ tant thing from which farmers need relief, At the same time they are Working day and nfght in Congress to pars bills that would take out o f the U# 8, Treasury enormous appropria­ tions, that Would inevitably increase the burden of taxation on farmers, kook at these four bills; MeNury-Haugcn-------- 4 409,000,000 Columbia Rivet Reclamation Boulder Dam Mississippi Flood Control ____ - (Continued from p.-g* J) “KNOW OHIO” IS THE SLOGAN coeding with the uorthern part of the state one find* a v«V beautiful and pathetically iafenactbig home just out of Sandusky, This is the Ohio ' Soldiers' and Sailers' Home, Going on to Cleveland we find another of the oldest state insHtuMom, the Cleveland State Hospital, at Newhurg, a Cleve­ land suburb.

B t u c m Shortage O f Hay Is ' * Foreseen ,For Ohio Much Clover and Alfalfa Was Winterkilled—Soybeans As Substitute Suggested Glover and alfalfa hay is likely to be scarce In Ohio this fall, as a result o f the unfavorable winter, which ruin- j* ed many of the younger meadows at 1 the same time that it killed off most of the state's winter wheat. This is ’ the conclusion of Wallace E. Hanger,! extension crops specialist of the Ohio ’ State University, Soybeans or Sudan grass or a mix­ ture of both, is suggested by Hanger an emergency substitute for the clover and alfalfa which have been killed. Either crop will make good hay next fall, and there is still time to prepare the soil and plant either one Of them. >. Prof. C, J. Willard of the crops de- partment of the university, believes that the soybean is the most satisfac- * tory source of a high protein legum-! inous- hay under existing conditions.' He point, out that it will produce as much or more than fed clover, and that the hay has aa high a feeding value as does clover, , } It is true, however, that it does not ‘ deposit as much nitrogen in the soli, smefe the nitrogen from the air is fix -' cd in the leaves and stems of the * soybean, and not in the root, and is cut off the land when the soybeans are harvested for hay, $oyb#an« do, how­ ever, leave the soil in excellent mechanical condition. It is frequent­ ly possible to plant wheat directly in t.u? field from whieh a crop of soy­ bean hay has been out, without Addi­ tional preparation of tfaa soil in the t a l i . ■ ;{■ Now's The Tune W h en S traw s g o t o th e H ea d M a y 15 th .
