RETURNS TO THE PRODUCER.

With all our prosperity we are not
altogether prosperous and while look
ing for the cause we would like to
ask what feature of his occupation
the thoughtful farmers most dread? :?
The contingencies of drouth, frost and
flood, of insect ravages, subtitle. plant
and animal diseases, of varied acci-
dents and unjust tax discrimination
are all taken into consideration and
their probable effects discounted The
formers habitually calculate on wide
margins of loss and small possible
| profits and know from long and sad
experience that transportation agen-
cies and middlemen will get a good
share of their earnings anyway
Every forehanded man is prepared
but what he has really learned to
dread is season of generally abund-
ant crops when even the unskilled and
the careless are successful At such
times the railroads and handlers fat
ten on the proceeds of his energy and
forethought. American stocks rise on
foreign exchanges and the great con-
suming public fares easily, saving
from the glutted food markets a little
money for the purchase of manufact-
| ured luxuries hitherto out of reach,
but to the farming communities gen.
orally no years are so lean. The
| aggregate results of such disastrous
/ seasons will make great showing in
| commercial returns and are widely
advertised by the secretary of agri-
culture and other lpampered politi-
clans as prosperity" but the actual
return to the producer, whose labor
and expense are much increased by
the marketing of great bulk of mater
ial, is too often below the cost of pro-
duction and we have had plenty of ex-
amples this year to establish the
enormity of this anomaly.
The cry of oYerproduction or unde.
consumption. so effectively used 10
curtail the output of manufactured
&C modities. never helps the farmer
when his markets are glutted. His
products are perishable and he must
realize on them promptly. He is
bound to do his best at all times. as
he can never forsee the character of
the coming season. The most profit
able years to the capable farmer are
those OF only moderate produtiveness,
when his care and skill are rewarded
by fair crops and living prices and
when only a reasonable amount OF
his soils fertility is carried away in
marketable products. The fat year
may be beneficial to the consuming
public, but usually is not to farmers
under the present conditions of the
distribution of agricultural commo-
dities.
Look at our peach and cabbage
deals right here in Colorado the pres
ent season. These goods were grown
put up and sold by the producers at
such an under cut that every shipper
lost money because the prices did not
equal the cost of production. Mean
while the transportation companies
and all the other intermediary hand
lers of these essential products made
more money than ever because they
handled larger quantities and got their
excessive profits in every instance. -.
We believe il is better TO place more
dependence upon the more depend
able and less perishable crops than to
continue putting out these delicate
goods only to lose money on them

Costa RIGA Gives The Party Rousing
Reception, Although Citizens Think
Visit Has to do With Union Central
American Republics.
(Bu Associated Press.)

San Jose, Costa Rica, March 1S.-
Secretary of State KnoX's tour to the
Central American republics in the in
terests of international amity is pleas
ing him immensely.
Panama received him with unanim-
ity. Before the Secretary arrived in
Panama word had gone out from the
Arosemena camp that the United
States government favored the re-elec-
tion of their leader and on the morn
ing that Mr. Knox arrived at the cap
ital an interview with Arosemena ap-
peared in the local press in which he
said in substance that the visit of the
American Secretary of State indicated
that the United States desired that
Panamans should elect a President
who was the real choice of the people
and that he was satisfied that the
real choice of the people was himself
Thus the Secretary of State was
confronted with very general feel
ing that in some way the United
States reserved right to influence
Panama's political affairs. Converse
tion with MEN in and out OF the
government, natives and foreigners,
showed plainly that this feeling was
the one weak strand in the tie bind
ing the United States and Panama.
The first address of the Secretary
went far to dispel this. He made it
plain that his mission concerned in
ternational relations and not the in
ternal affairs of the Republics visited
= Apparently the effect was excellent
and government officials and politi-
clans on the outside who had not
spoken together for weeks bantered
