M. Swenson of Burlington, Colo., one of the largest wheat growers In the country. After an extended trip through western Kansas and the wheat belt of Nebraska, he says the acreage of both winter wheat and spring wheat will be 15 per cent below 1923. Farmers have learned their lesson. They are not going to try to raise all the wheat in the world,” said Mr. Swenson. "They are content to let Canada and the Argentine have the export market. The romance of rais ing wheat for the world has lost its glamor. The American farmer here after will be content with the Ameri can market at American prices. “This is possible only with a re duced wheat acreage and a tariff high enough to keep out Canadian wheat." Mr. Swensen Is in Omaha on busi ness. In addition to 30 farms of a quarter section each in western Kan sas, Mr. Swensen owns large farm areas in Colorado and also operates farming district banks in both Colo rado and Nebraska. “The best news the wheat farmers have had for some time is the an nouncement from the 'White House that the tariff against Canadian wheat is to be Increased by presi dential proclamation, probably to 45 cents a bushel. “While it is good news it is too bad congress jockeyed around with parti san schemes to get in the news as heroes and savers of the nation and neglected to act, forcing the president to do what they ought to have done. Most of the wheat has passed out of the farmers’ hands. Many farmers have been able to hold on, however, and they will reap the benefit. The big benefit will come on this year's crop.” Ths farmer-banker, who knows the farm problems as a business man, was unable to account for a statement said to have been Issued In Washington by Congressman Wilson, republican, of Kansas. The statement was contra dictory and Mr. Swensen said he be lieved he must have been misunder stood. Wilson is reported to have said that the tariff would not help the farmers, also that the American wheat farmer could sell in foreign markets In competition with Canada and Ar gentina. "Of course the American farmer can sell his wheat In Europe," said Mr. Swenson. There is no argument about that. "At what price can he sell?” That Is the question. What good does It do to sell wheat In Eur ope If the farmer has to take a pau per’s price for It? What the Ameri can farmer wants Is American prices —and he will never get them until he can sell on an American basis. "The farmer knows It and Mr. Wilson, if he is correctly quoted, will know It this fall when the Kansas wheat farmers give him the hook. "We do not need the advice of poli ticians,’* continued Mr. Swenson. "We need a knowledge ef the multi plication table. If the American peo ple consume only 750.000,000 bushels of wheat, then every bushel raised above that will bring down the price. If we do not keep opt Canadian wheat with a tariff that will offset the difference In the price of produc tion we cannot expect to have an American market. We have nothing against Canada. If we can have an American market at American prices for American wheat, then we will he content to see Canada get all the ex port orders she can fill. Extend the American plan to the American farms and the wheat farmers will get enough money for their crops to keep the Industries of this country humming. "The farmers know this. They ere showing their good sense by cutting their scresge and they are for Presi dent Coolidge In his plans to keep out the flood of Canadian wheat." r —; Eugene Dennis Gives IS. Y.
