that we must learn to make two

grew before if we would make money
But ! want to tell you that the farm
ers produced 1921 100000 bushels Of
corn, wheat,-rye and oats in 1911, and
they produced 6,O25.OO0, 900 bushels in
1912. Over a billion more bushels
last year than the year before, so you
fellows must be getting rich fast Oh!
you're not. Well, you produced more
but you sold it for forty-four mill
ions less money Verify, your prob
lem is not more hay and more pota-
toes but better market. Apply that
principle TO the manufacturer. Tell
him to make two suits Of clothes
where he made one grow last year,
or two pair of shoes where he made
one grow last year. He won't do it,
Why? 1t would make clothes and
shoes cheaper and he would be doing

The difference between an elevator

up to you to-day. What you need
here is double your capital stock to

probably will, and do everything else
they can to close your elevator and
you know why The Saginaw Mill

six elevators, and dictate prices to
whole counties OF farmers. Another
company owns twenty-seven more

the past three years and is today one
of the best patronized elevators of
this corner of the country. Their
business has doubled every year and

again and John says "Well now,

Says His Department Has Really Just Begun to Attack Problem of
 Vital importance.

Manchester, N. H., Nov 15,-David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture. spoke on The Organization of American Agriculture" before the forty-seventh annual session of the National Grange of Patrons of Illus bandry, ill session here. In his intro duction Secretary Houston stated that it was time that all intelligent people put their heads together to consider rural conditions, which presented not q class problem but national prob lem affecting city and rural popula- tions alike.
 "A question frequently asked in Washington of those connected with agriculture is whether we have reached the limit of our supply of the necessaries of life and whether or not anything can be done to decrease the cost of living" the secretary said. T have systematically refused to deal Offhand with this vastly important problem, as so many of the interview CTS expect. It is one of vast impC.- tance and compleXity. There are many avenues of approach to it; many con trolling factors and no simple remedy. But 1 am not one of the pessimists. do not entertain the thought for a second that we have approXimated the limit of our output from the soil As a matter of fact, we have just be- gun to attack the problem We have not even reached the end of the pio- neering stage and have only in a very few localities developed conditions where maximum returns may be se- cured. But we have unmistakably reached the period where we must think and plan and work. We can no longer rely on the bounty of nature. There are evidences that Providence is ceasing it's protective supervision of fools and Americans. Conditions are emerging which if not fundamel- tally dealt with will lead us into ser. ous endorsements. It is well for us to face the facts and get our bear ings."
