k6T T is now entirely feasible to put
into practice many economic
plans which before the war
would have been utterly impossible. :
says Mr. Frank Baackes. vice presi-
dent OF the American Steel and Wire
Company
The war emergency work has so
impressed the value of county farm
bureau organizations that now We
have a paid agricultural leader in
nearly every county, and in most of
the counties there is now a working
organization, which has been en-
ployed by the National Council of De-
Tense.
THE power of such an organiza-
tion has been fully demonstrated In
the wonderful work of raising the
liberty loans and IN handling the Red
Cross and United War Work funds.
The war has taught Us that we can
do many things through organization
which We used TO think could not be
done.
There is a greater necessity for
food production this year than ever
before. We have pledged ourselves
to export a minimum OF seventeen
and one-half million tons OF food as
against Ave and one-half million tons
per year before the war We gained
about two hundred and fifty million
bushels in wheat but We lost an
equivalent in corn, oats and potatoes.
Peace will not add one pound of
food to our supply. We must look
out for Roumania. Poland, Serbia. Ar
menia, European Russia and others
Who are now without adequate food
supply.
THE War Industries Board has
been compelled TO restrict steel and
other materials in many lines. The
problem for this year would seem TO
be to use every agricultural machine
20 its full capacity We have not the
time nor the labor available to supply
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1918-12-03

enough power and machinery for this
springs work.
The County Farm Bureau seems
to me to be the logical solution We
already have the County Council of
Defense. 1t should be Immediately
trained to the arts OF peace. One OF
the first and most important things
would be to round up all of the i'm
plement dealers and owners OF trac-
tors in each county and charge them
with the duty of putting every exist
ing machine into perfect working
condition. ana to maintain an emer-
gency repair force who can respond
to telephone calls with motorcycle
outfits, so that the least possible time
may be lost IN putting disabled ma
chimes into commission again.
This committee in cooperation
with the farm bureau should secure a
county plat book and the committee
in charge should check up every
acre to see that adequate power and
machinery is provided to put IN a
maximum crop and to insure that no
land need be idle for lack OF power
or machinery.
I'VE all admit that tho government
can take over any kind of property
in a real emergency. Food is q real
emergency, and the county power
committee should be able TO buy or
rent every available machine and op-
crate 1t as war committee to its
fullest capacity. furnishing power
and the use OF the machinery to
every man at a price which will com
pete with the power of his own
horses.
New York state is renting power
to farm groups and the groups have
the privilege or buying machinery
from the state. ! think we can go
further than that. The important
thing Is to put in our crops. The
owner of the machinery can be paid
a reasonable sum for the use and
wear and tear on his machine AS
see 1t. it must be done On a publicly
conducted plan"
