WORKERS IGNORED
Secretary Houston Says They
Are Sighted in War
Work.

Ouc OF the causes Tor the threat.
ened crop shortage is declared by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston to be
the Justified belief Of the farmer that
he is not regarded as a partner in the
great enterprise of winning the war;"
The secretary was moved to his
comments by the appeal OF sixteen
agricultural associations representing
100000 organized farmers for a
change in conditions that would make
increased production possible.
In ennmerating his reasons for the
farming conditions at the present time
the secretary declared that one Of the
potent ones was the fact that the
farmer had been so thoroughly ig.
nored in all of the bodies that had
been organized to help make the war
effective, yet he was being appealed
to through patriotic motives TO bend
every energy to increase production.
Price Below Production.
II secretary said that the farm
crs were doing all that they could,
but that there were several obstacles
that appeared to be insurmountable
standing III the way. Among these
he enumerated a shortage Of labor,
a shortage of feed. seed, fertilizers,
farm implements, and a lack of rea-
sonai,le credit.
The secretary also declared that
prices received were often below the
cost of production.
Urged Cooperation.
The secretary recommended that
arrangements be made for reasonable
credit for the farmers on easy terms,
and for a sympathetic working out of
farm labor problems even to reliev-
ing necessary men from army serv.
ice. His strongest plea was for
greater cooperation between the farm
ers and the war agencies. For this
purpose he called for the immediate
appointment of a commission of nine
farmers. actually engaged in the bust
ness. to lie selected by tine president
from men, representative of, and sat
t%sfactory to the great farm organiZa.
lions of America. This commission
would be constantly in session in
Washington to consider from the
farmers standpoint all problems as
they arose and to make recommends.
tioDs tor their solution.
This Recommendation OF the secre.
tary Of agriculture is in strong con.
trast with the policy of the politicians
Of the Northwest who. instead of try
ing to cooperate with the farmers
have endeavored in every way to
hamper and discredit their organiza
tions and VINO have rejected all offers
OF the farmers to cooperate with city
bodies in war activities.
The secretary says for this plar
that 1t would be in harmony with the
procedure already adopted by the
government III other essential indus
tries.
