PMDAY, OCTODRU SI, ifilfl frits spiiiNorittD news FARMER NOT PROFITEER Analalt Situation by Dsan of Washington Stat College That tht farar receives th lion's shar ot th coat to tha consumer and that ha ia a profiteer, la tha be lief of nan who know compart Uvly llttla or nothing about farmlni and what It coats to produce, accord laf' to E. C Johnson, dean and direc tor of tha Washington college ot ag rlcultur. In discussing the agitatloa to reduce tha high cost of living. "A brief analysis of the situation demoatrates tha fallacy of this be lief," aald Dean Johnson." The wheat farmer of today, who receives $2.00 a bushel for his wheat, gets about 17.50 tor tha wheat required to make one barrel of flour. This flour will make approximately 300 14-ounce loaves of bread, selling at about 10 cents a loaf, or 130.00 a barrel. "Were the price reduced 1 cent per loaf and the entire reduction taken frooni the price of wheat to tha farmer, the consumer -would bo little benefited and the farmer would receire at the rate of $1.35 per bushel for his wheat, which ia less than the cost of production at tha present prices of land, labor and machinery. Take wool and shoes. "If the pros ent price of wool to the farmer were reduced 20c per pound, it would mean leaa than fl reduction in tha price of a wool auit retailing at $55 to $100 If tha present price ot hides to the farmer were cut in two. it would mean less than 50c reduction in a $12 to $15 pair of shoes, the hide for which now costs not to exceed be tween SOc and 90c per pair. The case of milk. "If the price of milk, which at present is between 25: and SOc per gallon to the fanner, ware reduced one-third it would mean comparltiTely little to the consumers of milk, who pay 12c to 15c a quart but it would mean bankruptcy for the commercial dairyman under present prices of hay. feed and labor, and the only dairying that would survive would be in the small dairy herd on tha diversified farm where the herd la aaed to consume grass, roughage and feeda not readily salable, and where the farmer's family doea all the work, the day being closer to 16 boura than 8 hours and the price per hour 15c to 30c instead of 50c to $1. The ultimate result would be a great ahortage of milk and of necess ity prices so high in the not distant future that the average family could not afford to buy milk or other dairy products. "It these facts, well understoood by the majority of the producera In the country, also are understood by the consumera in the towna and cities, there will be less tendency than at present to lay undue blame upon the producer for the high cost of living, and a greater interest on the part of every one to insure prices to the farmer aa will safeguard farm pro duction, which is the basis of a pros perous and contented nation.

GIVEN NAMES OF PRESIDENTS Historical Appellation Seetewsd en Summits of Mountain Range In Old Vermont, Heretofore when one snke of the presidential range everyone every Kew Knglsnder. at least knew, with out further partlculsrlalag. that Mount Washington and Its attendant aummlta waa the subject, write Allen Chem berlsla In th Boston Evening Traa script. Henceforth one must needs be mere specific, since during the Isst year a rival presldeotlsl range has appeared on the map la Vermont. That region, hitherto generally apoken of aa the Bread Loaf Mountain section, lying between Mlddlehury gsp and the IJn-eolo-Warren pass, was hut little known, except la It southerly portion, until the Oreen Mnunteln club men rsn their Skyline trsll through. They found there a maae of unnamed aum mlta grouped aa In council, and seem ingly worthy of being recogolsed as Individuate of distinction. Just north or these heights Is the rugged mass whose summit have been known for more than half a century aa Mounts Abrsham and Lincoln. Quito naturally the idea of a aew yrealdea tlal range aroee and, with great parti san restraint, four of the neighboring mountains were therefore named Mount Oraat, Meant Grover Cleve land.
