Farmers and the Farmers Union.

How does the income from. the farm.
ar's labor IN proportion to his hours
compare with that OF other laborers?
Ia discussing this question there
are several factors to be taken into
consideration. First, most farmers
are part capitalists. as we'll as laborer,
and we must credit part of his IL
come to his capital. His teams har-
ness, implements, feed, and seed, and
also his land. if he is a landowner.
are SO much capital, for which wo
must allow a reasonable income. Sec
ond. the families of farmers can and
do help more toward earning the living
than the families of other classes of
laborers. Even a six-year-old child,
on the farm, can do many little turns
by which it can earn its salt" and
even earn part of it's bread.
In order to make the comparison as
nearly equal as possible, take the case
of farmer who works another mans
farm for one-half the income Cor pos
sibly less), having everything fur
nished him by his landlord. Then the
living of the family may be said to
depend entirely upon their labor. But
even in this case the different members
of the family have much better op
portunty to assist in earning the liv-
ing than in the cases of most families
living in town.
Now, a wage-earner in town is sup
posed TO be able to support family
in respectable style. almost entirely,
by working eight hours per day when
he has steady work Thanks to the
results of organization. But where
can We find even one farmer who can
do this. unless he has a considerable
amount of capital to assist his labor,
to say nothing of all of them doing
so. Even a man who owns a five
thousand dollar outfit, consisting of
land and supplies, must work more
than eight hours a day in order to
make ends meet properly and lay up
little each year for old age.
Now, we don't want to be understood
as begrudging the wage-earner what he
has gained by means of his union, for

in farmers unions. The point intend
ed is to show that farmers ought to
strive as earnestly and as successfully
to improve their conditions, as wage
earners have done and are still doing.
The farmers independence that we
hear so much about is a nice thing no
doubt, but he should have an income
sufficient to support and educate his
family in a manner BETTING an Ameri-
can citizen. And in order to secure
this he must devote enough time,
money and earnestness to his union
