John Wa,lin Points Out Some Of the
Problems That the Farmers Are Up
Against What 10 the Remedy?

Editor Independent:
OF late there has been a good deal
Of advice given the farmers about
farming and how to farm. Some Of
this advice is undoubtedly good. Di-
versified farming. when properly ap-
piled, is undoubtedly the safest and
most substantial way of farming.

~ Oh diversified farming 10 some ex-
tent. that is they keep cattle aud
hogs, and poultry and also raise some
horses. do not think the farmers
as rule are altogether ignorant
about the correct method Of farming.
The chief reason why farming In this
country thas not tedn conducted
strictly on what we are taught to be
a strictly scientific method. is the
lack OF capital with which to equip
the farm. and the extremely hard
proposition to get good competent
help. We should bear in mind that
to equip farm properly with buildings
machinery ana stock. costs . whole
lot OF money and considering the high
rate Of interest, 1t IL question
whether or not 1t does not pay to loan
out the money on interest than to in.
vest it in farm equipment. And to
borrow the money and pay a. high
as u per cent interest. and perhaps
more. and expend it on farm equip.
ment, prudent farmers find to be
risky and they'd rather drag along
slowly the best they can. hence the
slow progress farm improvements.
The next question is this: Sup
pose a farmer has his farm well equip
ped with modern buildings and ma
chinery and sufficient amount OF
live stock to correspond. It takes
more work to take care Of It and Keep
it UP. consequently more hired hslp
will be needed. This means more
housework and II We do not want to

THE FIFTH CLASS PRINTING.

The state printing is divided into
FIVE classes, and the first four classes,
which comprise the complicated
work. which only the larger shops
are able to turn out, have always
been done by contract. The fifth
class, the class that the country Of.
flee can handle ntcely-letter heads,
envelopes blanks, etc.
has been on the open market, and the
secretary OF state could divide the
work among the smaller shops. This
didn't amount to much to any one
shop, but the work was usually pretty
we'll divided and the amount received
from the state during the year would
help some In paying taxes. For the
next two years, however. the secre-
tary Of state cannot give out q single
job to the boys because the work last
year was let out ty contract. the
Knight Printing Co. of Fargo being
the only, therefore the successful
bidder. The Independent suggests
that the law be so amended leaving
the fifth class printing to be done on
the open market under the supervis-
ion of the printing commission. That
body can examine and correct bills,
should any be too high. Give the

SOME INTERESTING FACTS
ON FARMING CONDITIONS

very little milk.
Then comes the market problem.
II every farmer was to keep, say from
ten to twenty cows, the market would
be hooded with milk and cream and
chances are the prices for this prod.
uct would be very low. 1t seems to
ME we had lesson this year about
that. Just because we had gooa
crop all over the country, wheat went
down so per cent, hax 100 per cent,
barley and oats 200 per cent, and DO.
tatoea-there 10 practically no sale Tor
them-at least not in this part Of the
country. Now 1t cost more to produce
this crop than any previous crop l
ever knew Of, and yet prices went
down about 100 per cent on the ~
erage. The same thing will happen
to other kinds Of farm produce in casa
there should te an over supply. Un,
der such conditions. I do not think It
is surprising to find farmers do not
prosper. It seems that we produce
enough, and the more we produce the
worse OH We arc. II the farmer
could form . trust to control prices
on their produce, like other indus
tries have done, then think the far.
lners could get along under any con
diti0ns.
It Is perhaps. we'll for the country
that It cannot be go. reckon that
such a trust would prove disastrous
to the country. But why should tha
farmers always be obliged to sell
their products and take what they ar,
offered for them and have fixed prices
on everything they buy? It seems 4
