Unless the government takes prompt control of the food ques tion the speculators and price boosters will force the price of foodstuffs to heights where poor people will be unable to exist. The speculator and price booster is an animal totally without con science. In 1909 the value of sugar beets per acre was exceeded by four other crops hops, tobacco, sugar catie and sweet potatoes.
