The focal point of the National Educational Fire Prevention campaign in its physical aspects will be the National Fire Prevention Exposition In New York ICty. Here, for the first time, will be shown thousands of products and devises, which are listed and labeled by Underwriters' Laborator ies. Only those products which have passed the rigid tests of this noncommercial, non-profit making and public service institution, will be elig tble tor display at the Exposition. The Exposition will 'be participated In by many important organizations and will visualize to the public what Is meant by an average fire loss ot a thousand dollars per minute through' out the year. It wlll show that at least 80 per cent of this destruction is totally unnecessary, that it const! tutes a terrible drain on the resources of the Nation, that Is costs the life of one person for every 35 minutes In the year and that lt holds the menace of a possible conflagration over every community In the country, according to satesments made after lnvestlga tlon by a Federal bureau. * • * Wanted: Young man to learn * * printing trad*. Apply st ths * * News-Times office. The following Is an extract from the Monthly Business Review, published by the Federal Reserve Hank of Cleveland. Almost everyone hears or reads something about "dollar wheat" these days. The public Is always Interested In the unusual and the present wheat situation makes a good story. One of the principal reasons why It is so much In the limelight Is because of the unique position which It occupies, wheat and hogs being the only important agricultural commodities now substantially below last year's prices. Strangely enough little is said of the improved prices of other farm prMeetB, Frankly we believe the situation has been overemphasized. Attention Is being called to the hole in the doughnut rather than to the doughnut Itself. There ure Instances when this has been brought about by an honest endeavor to aid the fanner but It Is questionable whether the present condition of the wheat grower can be picked out as representing the status ot the whole agricultural imlustry. The generul farmer is In better condition than he wus a year ago to say nothing of the livestock farmer and the dairyman. "Because of the prominence given the wheat question, those in industrial sections who do not huve the opportunity to make u detailed study of the situation are upt to form impressions which Are not substantiated by facts. Estimates by competent authorities show that wheut represents only about 7 per cent of the total value of farm products. Sold in bulk as lt is. also looms larger than the more scattered but equally effective income from other products of the farm. "At one time wheat was looked upon as being a standard of value. This opinion still exists to a certain extent and rightfully so, fer we must have wheat and a properly balanced crop means better business. That the wheat farmer has been passing through a clitlicult period cunnot be questioned. In addition to the unsettled market he must contend with uncertain weather conditions, insects, and other economic hazards. He constitutes a deflnte part of the buying of our country and when his buying lagB lt Is soon felt. A recent estimate by the Department of Agriculture places the valuation of the 1923 wheat crop at (781,000,000. Last year it was estimated at $884,000,000. The decrease for the year amounts to approximately $100,000,000. "On the other hand it has been estimated that the value of this year's grain crops on the basis of farm prices July 1, wlll be $500,000,000 more than the amount received for the 1922 crop. On July 1, 1922 the price of corn per bushel on the farm was 62 cents and on the same date this year lt was 86.5 cents per bushel. The farm price ot winter wheat declined from 93 cents to 87 cents per bushel; oats Increased from 37.3 cents to 42.5 cents per bushel; and barley from 52.2 to 55.7 cents per bushel. These prices were taken as of July 1, each year and are the farm prices, not the prices at marketing centers, from which transportation charges must be deducted. "Many suggestions und remedies are being offered. The chief dlfllculty In using them is to stay away from those which are only temporary and which In the long run will do more harm than good. More diversified farming offers a practical solution to a lot of our present farming Ills. The South, which has shown a rapid recovery since placing less dependence on cotton is a good example of what diversified farming can do. In fact lt is unnecessary to look beyond this State or neighboring states to find practically entire rural districts which have learned the wisdom of not placing all their marketable eggs In one basket. So while some are suggesting untrustworthy plans and schemes to make American agriculture safe for the "one-crop" farmer, others who take a broader view of the situation are urging more certain methods of fanning, such as livestock raising, dairy farming, fruit and garden truck raising, and a more consistent rotation of crops. These methods have the added advantage of steadying farm incomes from month to. month. The vulue of dairy products of American farms last year was nearly three und one-half times greater than that ot wheat. "There are certain sections ot the country where soil and climatic conditions make it necessary to depend almost entirely on the wheat crop for the principal income. But even in those where crop rotation is possible, this one crop is raised year after year with practically no change. This (Continued on back page.) I • . ■ • i ■

The focal point of the National Educational Fire Prevention campaign in its physical aspects will be the National Fire Prevention Exposition In New York ICty. Here, for the first time, will be shown thousands of products and devises, which are listed and labeled by Underwriters' Laborator ies. Only those products which have passed the rigid tests of this noncommercial, non-profit making and public service institution, will be elig tble tor display at the Exposition. The Exposition will 'be participated In by many important organizations and will visualize to the public what Is meant by an average fire loss ot a thousand dollars per minute through' out the year. It wlll show that at least 80 per cent of this destruction is totally unnecessary, that it const! tutes a terrible drain on the resources of the Nation, that Is costs the life of one person for every 35 minutes In the year and that lt holds the menace of a possible conflagration over every community In the country, according to satesments made after lnvestlga tlon by a Federal bureau. * • * Wanted: Young man to learn * * printing trad*. Apply st ths * * News-Times office. The following Is an extract from the Monthly Business Review, published by the Federal Reserve Hank of Cleveland. Almost everyone hears or reads something about "dollar wheat" these days. The public Is always Interested In the unusual and the present wheat situation makes a good story. One of the principal reasons why It is so much In the limelight Is because of the unique position which It occupies, wheat and hogs being the only important agricultural commodities now substantially below last year's prices. Strangely enough little is said of the improved prices of other farm prMeetB, Frankly we believe the situation has been overemphasized. Attention Is being called to the hole in the doughnut rather than to the doughnut Itself. There ure Instances when this has been brought about by an honest endeavor to aid the fanner but It Is questionable whether the present condition of the wheat grower can be picked out as representing the status ot the whole agricultural imlustry. The generul farmer is In better condition than he wus a year ago to say nothing of the livestock farmer and the dairyman. "Because of the prominence given the wheat question, those in industrial sections who do not huve the opportunity to make u detailed study of the situation are upt to form impressions which Are not substantiated by facts. Estimates by competent authorities show that wheut represents only about 7 per cent of the total value of farm products. Sold in bulk as lt is. also looms larger than the more scattered but equally effective income from other products of the farm. "At one time wheat was looked upon as being a standard of value. This opinion still exists to a certain extent and rightfully so, fer we must have wheat and a properly balanced crop means better business. That the wheat farmer has been passing through a clitlicult period cunnot be questioned. In addition to the unsettled market he must contend with uncertain weather conditions, insects, and other economic hazards. He constitutes a deflnte part of the buying of our country and when his buying lagB lt Is soon felt. A recent estimate by the Department of Agriculture places the valuation of the 1923 wheat crop at (781,000,000. Last year it was estimated at $884,000,000. The decrease for the year amounts to approximately $100,000,000. "On the other hand it has been estimated that the value of this year's grain crops on the basis of farm prices July 1, wlll be $500,000,000 more than the amount received for the 1922 crop. On July 1, 1922 the price of corn per bushel on the farm was 62 cents and on the same date this year lt was 86.5 cents per bushel. The farm price ot winter wheat declined from 93 cents to 87 cents per bushel; oats Increased from 37.3 cents to 42.5 cents per bushel; and barley from 52.2 to 55.7 cents per bushel. These prices were taken as of July 1, each year and are the farm prices, not the prices at marketing centers, from which transportation charges must be deducted. "Many suggestions und remedies are being offered. The chief dlfllculty In using them is to stay away from those which are only temporary and which In the long run will do more harm than good. More diversified farming offers a practical solution to a lot of our present farming Ills. The South, which has shown a rapid recovery since placing less dependence on cotton is a good example of what diversified farming can do. In fact lt is unnecessary to look beyond this State or neighboring states to find practically entire rural districts which have learned the wisdom of not placing all their marketable eggs In one basket. So while some are suggesting untrustworthy plans and schemes to make American agriculture safe for the "one-crop" farmer, others who take a broader view of the situation are urging more certain methods of fanning, such as livestock raising, dairy farming, fruit and garden truck raising, and a more consistent rotation of crops. These methods have the added advantage of steadying farm incomes from month to. month. The vulue of dairy products of American farms last year was nearly three und one-half times greater than that ot wheat. "There are certain sections ot the country where soil and climatic conditions make it necessary to depend almost entirely on the wheat crop for the principal income. But even in those where crop rotation is possible, this one crop is raised year after year with practically no change. This (Continued on back page.) I • . ■ • i ■ |
