Fanners, comprising the grangers 'of tin; Dakotas and Minnesota, are prov ing llieinselvcs as greedy profiteei-s as any big business in 1ho land. ; For years these same, farmers clamored for llie elimin ation of speculation from the grain market and state and federal control of Hie markets. Xo sooner was this dream an actuality and Hoover named as food controller than they began a campaign of protest, clamoring for a restor ation of the old system, under the idea that they would thereby reap i higher profit. For many years dollar wheat was the aeine of desire, and all farmers saw wealth in it. Now the' are protest ing .tL',20 wheat as insufi'icient price, altho at such a figure it is causing universal hardship and ensuing industrial unrest. They are as selfish as any of the war profiteers .hey denounce. Professor (J. . Call of the Kansas State College of Agriculture, has figured out that with the present, high prices of seed, labor, machinery and fertilizers, and pres ent prevailing conditions, there is a profit of $1.21 a bushel on $2 wheat, and if' 1.41 a bushel on $2.20 wheat on the average! western farm. Speakers at the recent St. Paul assembly demanded $15 a bushel, showing that these fann ers want everybody's profit limited except their own, for they also demanded price fixing for all other commodities and services not related (o the farm on a scale low enough to eliminate any war profit. These fanners want a guarantee from the government of famine prices for their own products, tree of tax for excess profits, and to fix prices for everyone else so there will be no proliis. A fine, patriotic program! II I CUM O.N I), Cajif., Sept. 23 Two men were killed here eapy today In an explosion which tore out the for ward worka and superstructure of the Standard Oil tanker J. A.
