Every one knows that farmers have become enormously rich by raising wheat in the Palouse country and the average price for 30 years was below 90 cents a bushel. Then why not get down to earth (and facts) quit talking! and writing nonsense about wheat costing twice as much as it actually costs, and quit trying to make the farmers believe they are working at a loss. No class in the Palouse country has prospered in the past 30 years as have the farmers who have remained on their own farms, and raised wheat and livestock. Just look around over the Palouse country and see the many prosperous farmers who have increased their holdings during the past 30 years; who come to town in high power cars and are rated as men of wealth, and compare the number of these with the merchants who have increased their wealth proportionately, and see how many rich farmers you find for every rich merchant. Then when someone tells you it costs a farmer an average of from $1 to $2.17 per bushel to produce wheat, just tell him the farmer whom it costs that much is a mighty poor farmer or has mighty poor land.
