American flag was shown by hts IN
limited sacrifices in the war to preserve
the union. and again in the Spanish war,
and IN these latter days, by the great
numbers Of farmers already serving ia
army and navy. Indeed so many young
farmers have been anxious to go TO the
front that it is now suggested that the
rest of them be required to stay at
home as food producers. Every dollar
that farmers subscribed to liberty bonds
now helps by so much to win the war
and to clear up labor conditions which
are giving farmers so much concern.
As an investment the money should be
safe and WELD a good return free of tax.
Important as is such financial profit, 1t
IS the lease Of the other and more pow

IN FOREIGN TRADE
(By Associated Press. J


Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 25--A call to
the farmers to interest themselves in
foreign trade was made by b. F. Har-
lris, banker of Champaign, H.. and
member of the National Foreign

tion of the organization here today
Describing himself as corn belt
farmer, Mr.. Harris offered Trans

ity of T's under whose sign farmers.
manufacturers, producers. and con-
sumers, labor and capital, town and
country, will conquer"
Declaring that I'VE farmers are
economic illiterates in production and
distribution. he said: "For fifty
years the farmer has been feeding
the people of the United States at
less than the cost of production,
throwing i'm his, and his children's
and the nations birthright of soil fer
tility.
"He is the solitary producer who
has no voice, and though properly re-
bellious, has in no successfully or
ganized or concerted manner sought
voice in the pricing of his products,
and those who set the prices for him
know little and care less as to the ac-
tual cost of production, nor of the
wastes that lie between.
High prices do not represent the
farmers greed, for he is almost an
innocent by-stander, buffeted by sea-
sons and market.makers, his share OF
what the consumer pays sometimes
like 80 cents, and not infre-
uuently he works 16 hours to provide
food for the S-hour fellows. He is
not a tradesman and cooperative !
plans with government help in sta |
market situations is re-
1uired.'
The farmer has profited and is
1rofiting by the great war export
business more than anyone, said Mr..
Harris, but has done so without hav-
ng taken and heed TO foreign trade
problems, simply allowing the for
ign consumer TO come and take away
