Necessary for
Buy
ins Revival
Farmer! Purchasing Barest
ISrrrsiities Due to Low
Prices for Product!- .
Many to Burn Corn.
By O A. MATHER. -
t kfi Trlbunc-Omali Hf Iwm4 Wlr.
Chicago, Aug. 30. Thtre must be
further readjustment of prices of
manufactured articles before any real
revival of buying can be expected
from the great agricultural auctions
of the country. This was the -roost
striking fact impressed on the writer
during a western trip just concluded.
It was vouchsafed in coaversations
with farmers, business men and
bankers.
The western agriculturalist is a da
mant to every plea of the manufac
turer that prices of, his conunodity
have been reduced as far as is con
sistent with higher labor costs and
transportation rates. The tarmer aim
rtv sava the nrices tof his commodi
ties and his labor costs are down to
rock bottom, that he cannot afford
to buy goods at present prices and
finally and all important, that he will
buy only the barest necessities until
nrices of manufactured goods are in
keeping with prices of farm prod'
uct.
The wages of harvest hands in the
middle west have fallcrt from around
$7 a day a year ago to $3 this 'sum
mer, the wages of (lie tanners
own tabor and that of the members
of his family may be "regarded as
having fallen proportionately. This
is the farmer's answer to the manu
facturers' plea that high Jabot costs
are keeping the prices of his. com
modities up. ,
Corn at 28 Cents. '
In Nebraska the price of corn
stands around 28 cents a bushel, and
is generally expected to fal, to, 25
cents or under when the new crop
becomes available. The price of, bats
is around l:cents a bushel. .
Because of the Jow price of corn
the farmers of ,. Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas this winter will burn hun
dreds of thousands of bushels as fuel.
Why should food be burned? Sim
ly because corn is a cheaper fuel at
25 cents a bushel than soft coal at
$14 a ton or hard coal at $26 a ton,
which are current rjprtccs in these
states and which prices, incidentally,
are nearly double the ..prewar prices.
The low price of corn and the high
price of coal jar in part attributable
to higher, height rates. , But" the.
farmer turns a deaf ear to the rail
road's plan that higher expenses have
necessitated increased freight rates.
His laconic rrinnitw It: i,
"Corn at 2S cents, bats at f8 cents,1
and both far under the prewar prices..
Let the rest of 'ent match that.
' Cattle Industry" demoralized. V'
The cattle-raising industry far the
west is demoralized, owing to the
marketing of many immature and
breeding animals. Many well in
formed men predict a serious short
age in this branch of the nation's
meat supply for several years. But
on the other hand, the 'raising of
hogs bids fair to be given-a decided
impetus as the reftfllt off the low price
of corn. It is 4tie "Nebraska hog
grower's maxim Nhat '25-c'ent corn .
may be fed profitably to hogs sell
ing at 5 cents a pound; therefore the
majority of farmers are plrnning to
raise hogs on larger scale than in a
number of years.
As to the general financial' situa
tion of the middle west, ifcmay be.
said to have improved somewhat
when compared with conditions last
winter. The pffte of farm land has
declined from $10 to $75 an acre
from the peak prices engendered by
the wave of speculation which ac
companied the roaring . prices of
grain. It was the observation of
many bankers and lenders of money
that a large percentage of borrow
ers are asking renewals and exten
sions of maturing loans. This is the
result of falling prices for land arid
farm products. Still, first mortgage
loans on good agricultural lands are
being made at 6 2-3 to 7 per cent.

Band of Nomads
Cypsiei Have Made Repeated
Effort! Since Doy'i Disap
pearance to Sell Him to
Families.
Sioux Fall. S. D.. Aug, 30. The
authorities of eastern South Dakota,
at the request of ofhcrri from tfis
marck, N. D, are keeping watch for
a band of gypsies, traveling in tout
automobiles, who are believed to
have in their custody a white child
between 3 and 4 years of age which
thev are alleged to have kidnaped
The father of the child has come to
South Dakota with the officers from
North Dakota to aid in the search
for his missing offspring.
Follow Trail.
This little boy was thought to
have been drowned in the Missouri
river near his home in North Dako
ta while at play about three months
ago. Search, however, tailed to re
veal the body. The gypsies in camp
near the scene of the supposed
drowning left there shortly after
ward. The parents later received
reports that the gypsies had a white
child with them when they departed,
and in the hope that it might be
their missing boy the trail of the
gypsies has since been followed in
the hope that the missing boy may
be alive. .
Try to SeU Child.
The reports to the parents were
to the effect that the gypsies had at
different points while enroute to
South Dakota endeavored ;o find
a home for the child on condition
that those accepting the child would
pay them a certain sum, indicating
that if they kidnaped the boy they
are seeking to make money from the
crime.
The father and the North Dakota
officers have trailed the gypsies to
this state, and now are supposed to
be close on their trail. They
reached several cities only 24 hours
after the departure of the gypsy
caravan, so it is expected the gyp
sies soon will be overhauled so it
can be definitely established whether
or not they have the missing North
Dakota boy with them.
