The Farm Value OF
Patience

Farmers have always been very
patient folk and they have now more
reason than ever. perhaps. to mani

thing is going quite right. from the
clouds in the sky to the clouds of
regulation Of farmers affairs upon
earth. for both are working just now
in ways which do not seem to give
crop producers q fair chance. Regu-
lations which are promulgated with
the utmost sincerity to serve patriotic
and philanthropic purposes. seem
sometimes to reach too far or to. falf
short and in that way impose hard
ships which were neither intended
nor foreseen.
Action which was intended to in
sure . farmer sale at q profitable
price has sometimes made It impos-
sible for him to sell at all. Adjust
nents made to secure . farmer a
margin above cost Of production have
fallen short Of his unavoidable out
lay to get the crop.
Such things do not make farmers
feel very good nor very safe in in
creasing production. but they will

two very different reasons: one. b.

the inveterate habit Of farmers to
take chances. Their business makes

them puts seed in the ground he

when regulations make him more
