IDLE ACRES AND IDLE men
Louis v. Guye Says These Are
Factors in High Cost of Living,
FARMS ARE BECOMING TOO BIG
Labor Commissioners Advocates Sell
entific Instruction that win
Increase Profits of Small
Farmers.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. tS.-"Chef among
the great questions with which the pCo-
pie OF this nation are graphing is the
high cost of living and enforced idleness
on the part OF the tollers caused by the
lack OF employment, the burden OF the
former resting upon tho results of the
latter" says L. " Guyc. "And here lct
me say that l consider idleness, due to
any cause, a calamity resting not alone
upon the individual, but upon the society
as a whole.
The causes of high cost OF living and
the periods Of idleness are in part trace
able to several reasons, principal among
which is the general desortion OF the
land by those who believe that they can
more easily make Roadway In the large
cities"
Farms Arc Too Large.
"a negative influence is being brought
to bear upon this phase OF farm life,
namely, the constant desire OF our farm
ers to reach out for more and more land,
resulting in the enlargement OF the
acreage titled by the Individual workman.
thereby causing dwarf production and
the stunted fertility Of the land.
The basis for the back to the farm
movement should, in my opinion, be
embodied in the effort for greater earning
capacity for the small farmer, through
less acreage and more intensified,
system of farming thus readjusting his
social environments, the employment OF
scientific methods OF teaching and de-
veloping agriculture and other vocational
subjects In our schools and through the
efforts OF those who may be engaged In
spreading the scientific principals of
farming.
81 wish to say for the great state of
Nebraska that we have approximately
2OOOOO0 acres OF unoccupied land, similar
In quality to those now under cuitiva-
ton and which produced in 1910 products
valued at 1854, 1881, which equalled the
total production OF all the gold silver
copper, iron, crude petroleum, tobacco,
lead and zinc produced by the entire
United States and Alaska and yet leav-
ing a net balance of $S,059, 451, I'm favor of
Nebraska, her greatest problem being a
method of checking this enormous stint
in the method of unthorough cultivation
and the running waste for the want OF a
sufficient population to turn our idle
acreage to account. One hundred thous-
and families would not exhaust Ne
braska's idle acres should their efforts be
confined to a proper method of cultiva-
ton. The high cost OF living and want
of employment would thus be mnimized
and the world would become the great
beneficiary"
