one or the greatest problems con-
lrchting agriculture is competent farm
nelp tnat can be secured at a compen-
satlon proportionate to the net earn
ings for the farmer. Manufactures
mining and railroads furnish employ
ment to vast number OF workers who
are under trained foremen and their
wages are graduated according to the
amount Of product they can turn out.
Manufacturers and transportation cor
porations are capitalized and the in
vestment Is required TO earn a fixed
dividend for the stockholders. The
earnings are expected to exceed the
dividends, operating expenses and fixed
charges to create a surplus fund TO
conduct affairs in emergencies and dur
ms panics without stopping dividends.
The farmer Is compelled to compete
IN the open market for help to conduct
his agricultural operations. While the
farmer is delighted II his investment
returns reasonable profit. he has no
T. course IL the seasons results are con-
Quoted at a loss. The manufactures in
