Agriculture Wallace WHEAT PRICE IS RUINOUS All Farm Products Too Low In Comparison ; RAILROADS MIGHT HELP Wltcal Prtco bat a Symptom of Vltktuw SajH Bcjrxotary; Eoc 1 alvo Vrk-u ot All Oilier Ciooda Ir) IScllcvcd Ileal Ulfficultr - WABHINOTON, D. C. Aug. 20. Thousands of American farmers will go bankrupt with wheat sell ing at considerably leas, than cost of production. Secretary Wallace declared today, while thousanda of others will he able to hold on only by the moat grinding economy. If he present plane of price, or com modities other than agricultural is to oe maintained, he added, then to have general prosperity, pricoa of farm products , must -be in creased. Knstern railroads could help by making aubstantial reductions in freight rate, on agricultural .pro- ducets especially if destined for export, Mr. Wallace - asserted. pointing out, however, that until agriculture. Industry and com merce are brought into a more noVmal relalonahipi acute agri cultural problems will develop) one after the other. Not a Now Disease 'Tho ruinously low prices of wheat Is not a new agricultural disease" said tho secretary .In a statement. "It is just one more acute symptom of the general trouble from which agriculture is suffering. The disease itself is the distorted relationship between pri ces of farm products and prices of other commodities. Tho sooner the people engaged In commerco and Industry frank ly recognize- .the troubje the. bet ter it win be ror an or us. Tne farmer could get along fairly well with present prices of which he haa to sell If prices or what he must buy woro down accordingly. But prices of other things' remain tilgh; that la what hurts. "Wages In industry and on the railroads are almost twice as high as before the war. The taxes are about twice as high. Freight rates are from SO to 75 per cent higher. Mela's, building materials of all kinds nre from 60 to 100 per cent above pre-war prices. All of theso are items In the farmers' cost of production. Until a fair relation ship Is restored between agricul ture and industry and commerce, ngrlculture will be unset and wtli have reason to complain. Price Flxilur lTBxl The pressing question is "what can be done to help the wheat growers get. more nearly the coot of production for this years crop?' Some urge that the gov ernment ought to fix a fair price. That could be done only hy the government preparing to buy un limited quantities at the price rixea. others suggest that the gov ernment go into the market and buy 200.000.000 bushels of wheat and storo It on tho theory that the taking off the market of that .quantity, would send up tho price to a ratr riguro. . "I am not hopoful of good re sults from either of those p'.ans. How could tho government dis noso of the surplus accumulated? What effect would either action havo on wheat acreage? What ef fect would it have on tho acreage ndi price of other grains and of livestock? Would tho same policy , be adopted In case of ruinously low prices for otb.r farm pro- iductn? The wheat situation is bad enough tn all conscience, and cor. talnly tho majority of our people would favor any practical method of holptng, but wo ought to bo reasonably, sure that tho remedy attempted wilt do the farmer more good thnn harm and will not mako our situation worso instoad of better. 'Whether theso acuto conditions might bo rolloved, if tho govorn .mcnt ahould set up an agoncy with largo authority to handto our sur plus farm products In its discretion land provido It with amplo funds. V do not know, I do not believe any one knows." Situation Very nuhViilt Tho low prlco of wheat this year will bring some roductlon in acre age. Mr, Wnllaco predlctnd, add Ing thnt "It It a torrlbly hard sit uation for the Indivldunl hut those who remain will bo benefltod." In reforence to tho export situa tion, ho said: "A. gradual decline tn our ex ports Ot grains and moots Is to bo. expected. Wo onnnot hopo to keep , thorn at the high pato of rocont years. But theso oxpoptn aro not going to vanish ovornlght. . "Eu rope will contlnuo to buy large buantltloa of us for somo tlmo." Three Men at First Thonsbt to Be Drowned Bat When Been by Plane, Rescue BegUM NEWPORT. Ore., Ag. 20. tHpecint to the Reglater.) The airplane that has been operating on the beach here all season, tak ing paaaengers up In the air dally at so much per head, fell Into tho ocean here this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and the pilot, G. Tronson and two passengers, C. H. Olassfoot and h. E. King, had a narrow escape from drowning. Glassfoot, King and three other peraona had engaged paaaage on tho plane for Waldport south of here. These two men boarded the machine with Tronson and a good takeoff was made but soon after the plane arouse there appeared to be something wrong and it soon dropped Into the sea beyond the breakers. . A large crowd on the beach wit nessed the drop and It was first thought, that all three men were drowned but aoon they were seen to climb out upon tne wings of the airplane. ' The plane floated on the surface and it was not long before the gov ernment life-saving; crew was on the scene.- The crew took the pilot on board its boat and the two passengers were taken ashore by means of a life line. C. H. Harwood. one of the men who swam to the plane through the surf, had a narrow escape when the crew of the power boat lauea to nee mm and left tne scene. Harwood - was forced to swim back through the heavy surf to shore. He was nearly exhausted. John Stockton and Laurence Mc- Bride were the others who swam to the plane.
