Autos Corrupt Farmers.
Ex.Gov. Brown, of Maryland.
Believes That Cause of
Hirh Prices.
High Prices.
From New York Times. ]

From New York Times.
Ex-Gov. Frank Brown. of Maryland,
who was widely known and equally pop
ular as the GARNER Governor when he
was the Executive of that State, report
ed times as eight" in Baltimore when
he was at the Waldorf. He added that
in his opinion that same condition was
prevalent over much of the East. and for
it he blamed the automobile.
1.-THE automobile" said Gov. Brown,
'has taken the farmer away from his
fields and therefore diminish his produc-
ton of foods. Of course, it was only
natural that when automobiles got cheap
and the agriculturist saw the banker and
the merchant riding about in their cars
he should feel that he could get lot OF
pleasure out of doing likewise. There
fore he proceeded to invest in machine
himself, in many cases putting a mort
gage on his place to do SO.
'.Instead of quitting work at shutdown
as had been his custom, he took to leav-
ing off at 8 or o'clock in the afternoon,
in order to give his family a joy ride.
Then. instead of getting up in the morn
ing at 5 o'clock to milk the cows, he be-
gan to lie in bed. He decided that he
must have ''hired man" to do all such
work, now regarded by him as mental,
and naturally the market for farm labor
being limited and the price continually
going up, the expense of running his farm
increased. He began to raise less grain,
as natural consequence, and then he
found cattle raising too much trouble to
look after, and he gave that up. There
fore he, with the rest of US, has had to
buy beef at an extravagant price.
ION every possible occasion he has
got into the habit of making an excuse
for taking holiday, and he welcomes
the chance of taking his family and him
self away for a little change of air.
When l was youngster, for farmer
to stop work during harvest time was
considered little short of crime. Last
summer, during the early part OF July, l
had occasion to make business trip
through Frederick county, Maryland,
long one of the most prosperous agricul-
tural sections to be found anywhere.
Everywhere found thrashing machines
standing idle in the field and the wheat
standing, drying up, while its owners
were away holiday-making. Farmers
throughout the county had seized the
occasion of the celebration at Gettysburg
for holiday-making, and they had packed
themselves into their automobiles and
gone up there on Saturday afternoon,
and most of them remained until the
following Wednesday, at what ought to
have been their very busiest season.
And, of course, their crops suffered as a
result"
