laboring under handicaps that must
be removed before agricultural indus.

farmer and his family become con-
tented and self respecting. The earn

that when overhead expenses are de-
Quoted there remains only such q
small income that even rigid econ
omy fails to provide more than the
absolute necessities of life.
do not hesitate to say that a
large percentage of our farmers are
living below the recognized standards
of our twentieth century needs. 1t
does not help matters to say that the
farmer is thriftless, lazy and ineffi-
cient. l have heard this statement
made by one who is engaged in the
uplift movement among farmers. If
the statement were true, there would
still be an opportunity to look for
fundamental causes.
However, it would not be difficult
to prove that the farmer is the most
Industrious, efficient worker we have,
and as such is entitled to such re-
wards as will provide for him the
comforts and some Of the luxuries of
life. Without such rewards life on
the farm becomes an unremitting
grind, resulting in discouragements,

Industrial decay. The hard working
and the willing working people of
Oregon must have an opportunity to
break the chains of hard living.
Without this opportunity we have
economic waste. Not only does the
