SMALL FARMERS DAY

Probably never since Adam
was ousted from the Garden Of
Eden for making too free with
the growing fruit has there
been a more favorable time for
the small farmer than now.
The man who undertakes a farm
of his capacity to cultivate and
attend to it can at least make
on it a better living than he
could command upon a salary OF
fifteen hundred dollars a year,
and if he has two or three boys
old enough to do a fair days
work he has practically a gold
mine. There is no difficulty in
selling for good prices. almost
anything that will grow in the
ground or feed upon agricultural
products. 1t is true that some
farmers still insist that they are
not making any money, but if
these are stating the truth there
is surely something wrong with
their management. Most farm
ers are paying off their mort
cages buving automobiles and
pianos and investing in Liberty
Bonds.
There are ways in which a
farmer can lose money, even
with the prevailing high scale of
prices. He can go into or re-
main in the milk business, giving
his work and paying what money
he can raise for hired help and
feed and selling his product for
less than the cost of the feed
which it takes to produce it.
He can undertake to run a large
farm without help or with only
one or two poor hands, when ne
should have three or four to do
the work right. He can neglect
the by-products, which sell now
as never before and in them
selves represent mostly clear
profit.
But the man who understands
farming, even the one who has
seen his best days physically,
may now take hold Of a few
acres of ground and be almost
absolutely independent. Bykeep-
ing his livestock down to the
number that he can feed with
products of the farm, using up
all his roughage and unmarked
table grain and helping his ra-
tions out with special root and
forage crops grown for that pur
pose, he can indulge in such
luxuries as milk, butter, eggs
and meat and perhaps have some
of each to sell, and it is assured
that there will be a steady de-
mand for all his surplus at pay
ing prices until the end of the
war. When that time comes
the event of itself will be 80
glorious that nothing else will
matter much.
Farmers are frequently seen
hanging around bewailing the
difficulty of getting labor. One
can not avoid the thought that
if such men would get out early
in the morning and husk corn
until late in the evening and not
spend so much time bewailing
the scarcity of help the labor
shortage would not be so severe.

Governor Milliken in his inaugural
address Thursday declared for un-
compromising enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law and urged a constitutional
amendment that will give the chief
executive power to remove delinquent
sheriffs and county attorneys; a
change in the Injunction law against
owners of buildings where nuisances
exist to make it easier to invoke; the
repeal of optional sentence making a
jail sentence for convicted violators of
the prohihtory law, the only course.
He finds merit in the proposal that
vehicles for the illegal transportation
Of intoxicating liquors within the
State be confiscated.
And Governor Milliken openly an
nounced his stand for referendum on
woman suffrage. He is in favor of
mill tax for the continuation of State
road work, and urges adoption of the

We shall best show our gratitude to
those who sent us here and best de-
serve their confidence by full recogni-
ton of the obligation imposed by this
relationship. We are public servants
and the public good must be our only
interest
Our government Is divided into three
branches, legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive, yet this partition of powers is
neither absolute nor complete. My re-
sponsibility is primarily executive but
it is my constitutional duty to suggest
appropriate legislation and to register
approval or disapproval Of each act or
resolve which you will pass. There
fore. with due Difference to your judg-
ment and with no desire to usurp in
the slightest degree any proper func-
ton of yours, still frankly accept my
share of the responsibility for the final
results of your labors and invite your
consideration of some important gen.
eral features of the task before you.
My first suggestion is a word of eau
ton against too much legislation. The
enactment of too many laws tends to
confuse the people and decrease the
general respect for law. You can earn
fame and the lasting gratitude of your
constituents by making only necessary
and we'll considered changes in our
statutes. and by rejecting everything
petty or trivial. You are especially
urged to refuse private and special
legislation for purposes that can be
accomplished under the general law
and to decline further to cumber the
statutes with special regulations of
fishing in particular streams or ponds.
