ARE THE MEN OF THE NATION LOSING
THEIR LOVE FOR HONEST TOLL?

! If prices of provisions keep on climbing as
/ they have been doing during the past year the
effect should be a great stimulus to the back to
/ the farm" movement of which we have heard so
much the past decade Common sense and OBJ
Iservation should teach any man that one of the
main causes of the high price of foodstuffs is the
growing scarcity of farm labor and the conse-
quent curtailment of acreage cultivated. Thous-
ands of farmers all over this country, unable to
secure adequate help are gradually curtailing
their operations until il is no uncommon sight
to see farm that formerly sold four or five hun
dred bushels of grain, now hardly producing
enough to feed the stock and fatten the pork.
OF course we all know that a gang of unprinci-
pied bloodsuckers have seized upon the war as
an excuse for boosting the price of everything
that we copsume, but II a scarcity of production
did not exist the foreign demand for foodstuffs
would be met and there would still remain in this
country a sufficient quantity to supply all home
demands at reasonable prices. Just why young
men, and older ones, too, should wish TO leave the
farm and rush off to the overcrowded cities is
on the farm. And equally true, they work even
harder i'm the city and save less. In a majority
Of cases. unless they are intellectually far above
the average of mankind, they live in penury and
die in want.
With the present demand for farm products
Il would certainly appear the height of folly to
abandon the certainty of plenty on the farm for
the precarious life Of the average city dweller
A New York writer gives as a reason for men
leaving the farm that they dread being known
as Country Jakes." That writer is jackass
and his statement joke. With the present easy
means of communication between town and
country IL Is difficult in these days TO distinguish
the town man from the countryman. II any
thing, the countryman approaches nearer TO
masculine perfection than the city cousin.
Looked at from whatever angle we may view
IL. the question Of the future of the farm is seri-
Gus. That our young men are leaving II by the
thousands is fact. That there are none to re.
place them Is also u lamentable fact. And In en-
deavorng TO locate the cause one Is almost forced
10 the conclusion that the men Of this nation are
gradually losing that love Of honest toll for
which their forefathers were noted.

SOUNDS GOOD ON ITS FACE. BUT WILL
ANYTHING COME FROM 1T?

Soitillers throughout Eastern Utah have ex-
pressed more than a mild interest in the reported
scheme of Great Britain TO go into the farming
business on an immense scale in Western Can
ada. The scheme, 80 The Sun learns. is 10 pay
off the war debt through the purchase by the
government Of two million acres Of land In the
arabic portions Of Western Canada and 10 till
the soil on the most stupendous scale ever Known
In the history Of the world. g..
The land would cost the government two mil
lions Of dollars IL is said. or at the price Of one
dollar an acre. II must be remembered that the
British government would be buying this land
from the Canadian government. the land In ques-
ton not yet having been given over 10 settlers.
Experts figure that the government could In a
few years raise such immense crops that the
enormous sum Of two billions of dollars would be
obtained for them in the worlds wheat market,
and that az a result the land would In few years
be worth on an average of a hundred dollars an
acre.
No wonder this scheme interests soiltillers To-
cally. But The Sun is glad 10 advise them that
this scheme is yet merely scheme. No one can
tell, however These warning nations are des-
perate and may do anythng-even carry out a
scheme of this character.
