HIGHER PEAT FRIGES Roger Babson, in his latest statis tical report aays the wheat farmer is in the strongest position of any m th farmer class, and he predict mater ially higher prices for wheat in from one to two months. "Within one or two months there will be loosed the backed-up demand of the mill and a continued, though declining foreigh demand," the re port aoya. "All factors are work ing to concentrate a large volume of wheat buying in the early weeka of 1921." This upward tendency ia being rec ognised locally in all wheat-raising sections, where the buy "A Barrel of Flour" movement is gaining a mo mentum far beyond the most sangu ine expectationsof those responsible for the inception of the movement. Buy "A Barrel of Flour" is the slo gan that ia to appeal to everyone in the land , to help deplete the present stocks, and thereby bring. the mills into the market for the surplus hold ings. " The Babson report places cotton in the next best position to wheat and corn in the poorest of the major crops. I HEALTHY NEW YEAR Fred Royse Climbs Up.
