A ft or the worst; thut can be done in these directions, it would still be neceasuy for tlm pro duction of wheal in this country to be adjusted to thu world murke situa tion. "There, can bo no doubt thut tlm American wheat growers, as a body, are in un exceptionally unfavorably position. W.ith wheat selliny in Chi-ag-u at around a dollar a bushel, and the farm prices In Kansas und Nebra ska about St) cents, it uppears that without a material advance In price u considerable purt of this year's wheat crop may be sold for less than it cost to grow it. "And while the price of wheat has been fulling, other prices as a whole have been rising until very recently. It costs more now to raise a bushel wheat than tt did a year and two years ugo. ltbor Is scarce and ex pensive. Karm hands have been lured to the cities by the prospect of high wages. The prices of most of the commodities which tho farmer has to buy, both in producing his crops and Jn maintaining himself und hin lumlly, have risen. "liotb tho absolute price of wheat and its relative purchasing power witli respect to other commodities us a whole were declining from lyuil to lltlU. In other words, the forces of competition as reflected in eomparu - itivc prices were affecting adversely the growers of wheat. Year by year a bushel of wheat was the equivalent of ii diminishing quantity of othc coinniodliles in domestic murkcts.
