Eastern View of Farmers on Prohibition in 1938
A New York Times commentary reprinted in the Eastern view argues farmers in the Midwest suffered losses from prohibition. It cites 1918 crop value to brewers at 112000 dollars and notes prices for barley corn wheat and rye fell.

The piece contrasts Canadian and American experiences, noting reduced crime and vice in Canada but questioning overall success of prohibition and tariff policy.
