Facts vs. Fiction for the Farmer.

If there are any farmers who are misled by the calamity howling republican editors over the ‘‘great influx of Argentine corn,” etc., we advise them to read the government crop report just out, which gives the price of grain in Indiana on April 1, 1914, with comparison for the same date of 191.3 as follows:

..„ 1914 1913 W heat, pel* bu. ..., .. . 91c 97c Corn, per bu 61c 48c Oats, per bu . ..39c 32c Bailey, per bu. . 50c 68c Rye, per bu .63c 67c The five year average for April Ist on each of these cereals in Indiana was: Wheat, $1.00; corn, 55c; oats, 42c; barley, 68c. It will be seen from the above that farmers are not suffering very much from the great influx of foreign grown tcorn or other cereal crops. In fact, we are still exporting our grain right along and the small imports cut little or no figure at all. In eggs the price is precisely the same as last year, 16c; butter is l‘c lower at 23c, but the average for the past five years was 23c. Chickens are lc higher than last year.

We are paying for Butter fat this week 24k VILLI AM H. DEXTER Rensselaer, Indiana
