Indisputable e vdence is beingt fur aished the 1fderal trade commission of a general raise ii the price of all machinery and supplies needed on the farm for the season of 1918, and the commission is asked to take ac tion to protect the tfrmers from this unnecessary exploitatio. Want Prices On Comme.ties Fixed. Senator Curtis of Kansas made an appeal on the foor of the senate the other day for a spirit of fairness with relation to the things the farmer has to buy and sell. He wanted some plan provided where the faDer, whose wheat prices has been fxed, could have protection as well in the _uantity of machinery he is required to buy this spring. He called attention to an exchange of letters between Ed Hockaday of Oklahoma, and Victor Murdock, of the Federal Trade commission. Hock aday is one of the largest machinery delers in the south, owning several large tores throughout that section. He charged in his letter that the manufacturers were making unjust advances in prices on machinery and farm supplies, and Mr. Murdock wrote and asked him it he could give sppetif iuformation. Concerns Are All Named.. Hockaday responded with a list of the Arms who are raising prices over those of a year ago and named enough direct instances to satisfy the most curious. He mentioned the John Deere Plow Co.. Emerson-Brant ingham Co., Rock island Plow Co.. Internatio al Harveiter Co., Oliver Plow C6., Parlin & Orendorff Plow Co. -In 1916 they put on a small ad vance of 10 per cent or 15 per cent: in the early- part of 1917 they made several advances, and later they put on 25 or 30 per cent more. For instance, let us take a gang plow weighing 700 pounds, which dur ing 1916 cost $63 to $5i. The price is SO100 to $105 now, and the hane old sky is still the limit. Take a seven-toot whealt hbinder,- including tongue truck and transport. In 1916 the retailer paid $9120. In the fall of 1916 It. advanced $10. In the spring of 1917 there was another advance of $16. and last fall there was a $57 advance. making a total of $83 and bringing the cost to $203. This is 70 per cent. It is now up to Eederal Trade commission to act and act soon. + SMALL BUSINESS MAN + * SHOULD LINE UP RIGHT + + - '_+ + "You are fighting monopo- + + listic big business: not com- + + petitive little business.
