FARMS SHOULD
PRODUCE MORE

That the farms of the United
States are not producing half what
they should because of a lack of
practical education among farmers
was the statement made by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson in a
recent address at the Farmers
Union in st. Louis.
Il believe the solution of the
cost of living problems lies in
good hands," said Mr.. Wilson.
The farmers are awake, and no
country is in danger when that is
the case. | have investigated
charges that the farmers have COM
bined to put up prices and rob the
community and have found thew
are not true.
I'm the past the manufacturers
asked no questions as to the con-
tinued fertility of soil and no effort
was made to educate the farmer,
while the education of the farmers
son, to leave the farm, went or.
Manufacturing will not succeed
without an abundance of food at
reasonable prices, and now that the
farms in the Fast have fallen away
below the standard of product
ivencss, the manufacturers are
awakening to the danger of the UNI
der production.
THE government continued for
half a century to give away fertile
lands until 10Y we have little left
but dry lands. The farmer in the
old days was a goodnatured person,
working for what wages he could
get and being glad of it, while his
sons went away from the farm.
"a new day has come. Our popu-
lation is increasing a couple of
million or so a year, and our pro-
duction is not keeping pace with
this growth. Prices have gone up.
Something must be done.
"Of the Ii states of the Miss
issippi valley not one is producing
half the crops it should, because
the farmers have not been taught
scientific farming. We can and
will, ultimately double every crop
we're growing, and at the same
time care for a population of 200,-
600, 900. When we've done that
the agriculturists of that day will
show how to double crops again.
THE government is straining
/ every effort to improve the soil
! and is accomplishing wonderful
things, but there remain other
things to be done.
1--WE are forgetting the old
home economics. One of the best
things | could recommend to you
would be the appointment of a
committee to study the economics
of the home. Rice, sold at whole.
: sale in Louisiana at 2 cents a pound,
cost 8 cents a pound in the north IN
a paper bag.
The farmers must be educated
We need a countrywide university
If ] had nothin else to do I shoult
a become a lobbyist in my State OF
Iowa to demand that agriculture b,
taught in every one of the 80 OF
more colleges there. If we teacl
the young farmers, the old farmer.
" will soon take interest.
: 1--WE must keep our young
farmers on the farm. Immigrant,
who have lived on farms should b,
placed on farms when they come {,
