The American grata grower, - despite , the temporary car shortage that forced many farm her rowers to the wall, will benefit by the world wheat shortage with 810,000. 000 bushel to sell this rear, as com pared with 795.600,009 buahela grown ia 1921.

The- purchasing power ef farm products is still at 4 aa against 100 in 1913, it is declared. - COURT IS TOLD OF , OFFER TO LIGHTER (Contioued Fteta Pit Oat) better "blow" for awhile, O'Mara said.
