That is more than three {imes the cost of production, as it was estimated in the Caaadian west, before the war. Other: grains and meat are proportionally high, Whether these pricts will hold till the harvest of this year is marketel, certainty. But, it is reasonablg to believe that the prices of meats, grains and dairy 'products which have a world market will be very high until the harvest of next year is available, It is not pos- sible that the soldiery, throughout the world, will take any part in the harvesting of this year's. Nor is it probable that the workers in war in- dustry will soon be available: for farm work. Should the war end dur- ing this 'summer "or autumn, the stores of grain thought to be held in Russia will be marketed, in so far as | shipg are available, It would not be surprising if these stores were found to be small. More food. it is as-| sumed, is required during war on in times of peace. Not only is there waste in the maintenance of the sol-' diery, but the civil population, being unusually prosperous and well paid, is wasteful and extravagant. To some extent, waste and extravagance are checked by counsels of thrift, fear of want and the influence of high prices, But these restraints have not, decording to the authorities, prevented a serious depletion in stores in Europe and America, which leads some to fear widespread fam- ine, High prices havs not stimulated production. Last year's crop on this continent was much smaller than that of 1915. In Canada, the pros- pect this year is of smaller acreage and smaller yield.
