by Mis Cord; the value ot fruit and
vegetable aa food was discussed by
Mr. Hume, who also showed ' how
much, fruit could be raised, upon -an
acre of ground, and he also gave the
number of trees, vines,, etc., and their
varieties, to plant. ' Miss Boddie
made a most able appeal for the bet

The Inorease In the coirt 'of living
In this country Is to be permanent,
especially with regard to grtlclea of,
food. The limit of; high prices, ha
not yet been touched.' In my opinion,
the trusts and the tariff have little or
nothing to do with this i condition;
which i the, natural outgrowth of the
development of the , great. Western
country, linked with tha increase in
the output of gold." ,v :' ;v v .
Thl atatement wa made to-day by
Oeorge E. Roberts, director ot . the
minLv Mr., Roberts I a' careful stu
dent of the practical eld of economic
question affecting . the American
pocketbook. f' f r V "' ':'t--'-:' i "'.
' When asked what 'cause are re
sponsible for the steady climb - i of
price, Mr. Robert said: , v: J rv,
' "The first and most Important reas
on I found In the recent utilisation of
the great prairies pf the Middle West.
That vast section west of Chicago, in
cluding the Dakota. Nebraska and
Kansas for a number of year, ending
with 1885-84 c was rapidly ,- settled.
Since then It population ha Increas
ed steadily, and has deyoted Itself to
growing farm products, - practically,
good tillable laads are now occupied.
Along about the time thl territory
was being settled . wheat wa worth
fifty -and sixty cent a bushel. Now
it li about aeventy-eeven cent , a
bushel, an increase of about 60 per
cent, value. Take the Item of hogs,
which are now worth 17 per 100
pound. I cannot remember toother
time when hog, were selling at this
price, except' for a brief period dur-
iui uie civil war, , wnuu our iirr
currency '-wi- badly . depreciated,
There has been Increase of 10 per
cent, in the value of. hogs during the
past ten years. ;y- ,,.:.' ; ,r
' "Moat of these products come from
the land which, comparatively a few
year ago, were vacant The natural
ferUUty of the Western prairie haa
been . developed, aad they now . fur
nish a large percentage of our food
product Heretofore we had been
getting our principal i food . supplies
at about the cost of labor put on

of the land. In the future-we hll
be paying Interest on land worth
from f 78 to I1S0 an acre.",
, "Js this era of high price tempo
rargTf . i.:.. .. - i.-,.;-.;
. "In my opinion the xost of food in
thl country I to be permanently
high. In' the past any man who
could get together enough money to
buy a team of horses, a wagon and
a plow could go to some Weetern
State, on the frontier and buy rich
land at an Insignificant prloc ; on
mall annual payment. - The only
new land now being opened up. ar
the Irrigated sections, which are being
made available at great expense.- We
could . not undertake these great Irri
gation project If It were not that the
price of food product had been es
tablished on such a high level."
. "Who gets the benefits of the high
prlcesT" ,
"The farmer get It," wa 5 the
prompt reply of Mr. Robert. "Seven
dollar per hundred-weight for hog
I an almost unheard-of price In thl
country. Raw cotton I worth to th
farmer about 100 per cent more than
it wa four or five year ago. Thl
I due to the Increased demand with
out a. corresponding Increase In tha
supply. : The same thing applies to
th production and cost of wheat

prices?" - ' . . . .?

"What-classes are hardest hit' by
these high price?".
i "Men. on fixed salaries will prob
ably complain that their wages have
not kept paoe with the tncreaae la the
cost of living, . I think thl la true of
a great many people, more particular
ly of clerks, salesmen and other of
those classes. But these people must
remember that they had the best end
of the deal for a long time up to th
revival of Induatiy, which began
about 1811. For about twenty year
prior to that time the tendency of
prices had been steadily downward,
and the wage-earner and the salaried
claseea had a very great advantage
over others. They had steady, pay
and their wages were Increasing In
purchasing powea every year. Now
for a time the current Is running In
the other direction, and person with
