MousroN,s wAnNING.

If there is any man in tho United
States in Il position TO consider and
analyzo the cause of the high cost
OF living. he is the Secretary of Agri-
culture David L. Houston.
In his speech ut Manchester. ~ H..
published in Yesterdays dispatches, he
outlines the main causes as reckless
ness, too great ease OF living, over
fostering OF great Industrial centres,
failure to produce the maximum yield,
and neglect OF the problem OF the In
dividual farmer and OF rural life.
From every quarter Of the country
there come to the Department of Agri-
culture the same reports-that tenancy
and absentee ownership arc incrcas-
ing: that soils are wasted and OK
plotted: that business methods on the
farms are inadequate; that marketing
and distribution are in a chaotic
stage; that roads are bad: that there
is lack of supervision of public health
and sanitation; that social activities
are isolated and poorly organized, that
intellectual provision is inferior. The
manysidod problem is not Il class
city and country alike.
That we are suffering the penalties
of too great ease OF living is obvious
says Secretary Houston. 1--WE have
followed the course OF least resistance.
We must now face tho problem of
planning: of the systematic direction
OF our energy, and of invoking the
~, or Of
proved devices. We have been so
bent on building up great industrial
centres by every natural and artificial
device that We have had little time
to thing OF the very foundations of our
industrial existence"
Less than IL per cent OF the land
in tho United states yields maximum
returns. and So with population of
less than 100000 on moro than
100000 square miles the end of the
pioneering stage has not really been
reached. Yet. 1--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"
We have practically come TO the
point whero we have ceased to he
an exporting nation OF food products.
We arc depending more ana more
upon foreign nations for the neces-
sarics Of lifc. We arc not nvailing
ourselves OF our opportunities in pro-
duction. and herein lies the agricul-
tural shame OF the United states. We
must take deep heed OF the warming
uttered Ivy the Secretary OF Agri-
culture.
