Biff Grain Dealer
Predicts Better
Conditions Soon
Purchasing Power of Farmer
Keynote to Return of
Prosperity, Chicago
Man Says.
Chicago, March 9—James A. Pot
ion, one of the most conspicuous fig- ,
urcs in the grain trade of th" United
Stater, discussing the financial and
industrial situation of the country, had
this to say about the position of the I
farmer: t
"I believe that the whole question
of a continued movement back to
general prosperity rests upon a return '
to a proper relation between the price
"Calami products and the price of
■uteh crtnniodltieH as the farmer needs
1 <> buy. $brre can be no genuine
prosperity or even continued class ,
prosperity! *■> long as the purchas
ing power of the farmer remains low.
because of disarrangement of this
fundamental, economic balance.
"I regard corn as the keystone of
the agriculutral arch and fortunately
the condition, appears at present for a
price range for the rest of the year .
th.v will do much toward strengthen
ing the farmer In his position as the j
greatest single purchasing power in
our population.
, Supplies Down to Average.
"The government report shows that
oi n supplies are down to *n average
of the past 10 years, and are irt.-j
000,000 legs than a year ago. and
47* ooS.OOO less than two yrar» ago.
The question < f value depenlt upon
the relationship between surpuc* and
needs, and from this standpoint the
present stltuation is most encourag
ing
"Last year we had a supply, on
March 1 of 1.313.000.000, and on No. |
veinbor 1 there was carried over 170 -
000.000, showing a consumption be
tween March 1 an 1 the new imp
1.134.000. 000 bushels. In 1921 the eon- !
sumption during the same period was
1.279.000. 000 bushel*.
"For Hie past two years, therefore,
our average corn consumption, the
gteater part of which Is represented \
! y production of meat, was 1.200.000,
000 bushels It fallows that our present
corn reserve of 1,097,000,000 Is less
by 119,000.000 bushels than our ac
tual consumption during the last two
year*.
More Livestock on Farms.
"Add to this the fact that we have
on hand several million more hogs \
and a larger supply of cattle, and
that It Is officially reported the
spring crop is much larger than In
recent y ears. It becomes apparent that j
there la a prospective urgent demand i
for corn f r feeding. Further, the
price of and demand for meat food is
increasing with advancing wages and
Increased industrial employment. In
suring an urgent call for ths meat
that this Increased number of cattle
and bogs can produce.
"I'nder these conditions of depleted
corn reserves and urgent feeding de- ,
mand. 1 believe that the working of I
economic law toward a proper price
relationship for f^rin products, an 1

ter, moving in the house of commons
today the second reading of her bill
prohibiting the sale of intoxicants to
youths under 18 for consumption on
the premises, delivered an address re
plete with witticisms to an attentive
and frequently amused house
The bill, she declared, was designed
to protect adolescents—their health,
self control and powers of resistance
—and remove boys and girls .from the
environments of the public house. It
was already illegal, she pointed out. to
sell liquor to those under li. ahd her
bill merely changed the age limit be

persons were still youths at 18.
"\ Child to 18.”
"A boy is a child up to 18." Lady
Astor declared. "You men are chil
dren. and we women love you because
you are children.”
She declared the bill was not in any
sense her bill, as Lord Bryce had in
treduced it two years ago. It was
supported by tea- hers and behind
them were organized women, the
heads i*f the great schools, the chief
medical authorities ar.d the churches.
The medical men of all countries, she
said, were agreed as to the danger
of any nbohoi during tie ppriod of
adolescer ,-p %
negardlng the suggestion that the
act should apple to only one sex. Lady
As'or declared sex discrimination in
this subject should not be tolerated.
She wanted to "give the spirit and
not the spirits a chance."
In the Dominions.
"A great deal was heard about what
America had done,” remarked I-ady
Astor, "but one never heard much
about the dominions, all of which had
such measures as this. If they could

behind. There also w ere Similar meas

Walter Greaves Lord, conservative
