THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
'"t By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

I own land, haul grain or drive stock
10 town, 1t would have done only a
little more than it accomplished by
It's interdict against the freedom of
] the sea. What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went in
to this war? Look at the condition of
the American farmer in the latter
part of 1914 and the first half of 1915
and see.
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for while the use of the sea as
highway. And the farmers of
America faced ruin. know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop Of U.s.
600 bushels OF wheat for seventy cents
bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost of pro-
ducing It, All this time those por-
tons OF the world whose ports were
open were ready to pay almost any
price FOR our products. When finally
We set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms. But
1t never returned for the farmers of
those nations which remained cut OF
from ocean traffic.
Take the case OF Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia.
So In spite OF the efforts OF the Gov
eminent to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions OF tons have been lost for
Lack of a market
Such conditions spell irretrievahle
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed in this country from the out
break OF the war until now il our
Government had not first resisted with
avery diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword.
Why did we draw the sword? To
keep up the price of wheat and cot.
ON, and to protect trade only? II
someone should order you to remain
IN your farm. and not to use the pub
&c highways, would your resistance
,e based only on the fear of loss in
,rofits from failure to market your
,rops? BY no meansi You would
light 10 the last gasp Not to make
money, but to be freei
When a man is enslsved, all he
oses in money is his wages. But the
Fhite man has never been able to ac-
ept slavery. He has never yet been
enslayed. There rises up
n him sgsinst servitude a resentment
o terrible that death always is pref
rable.

The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe
cially loves peace. Since the dawn oil
history. the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out of doors in plain
sight and is spoil of war-his house,
lis grain, his livestock The flames
that light the skies in the rear of
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work. and the life labors of
past generations OF farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is a warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities. because it
takes longer to send to the farms, the
call to arms 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city jewellers from the shops Many
do not hear the first blast Of the
trumpet Others do not at first under
stand its meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their aequaintances. Instead
OF reading half dozen extras a day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time in a
sudden emergency TO make up his
mind.
1t Is impossible TO set the farmers
OF the United states on fire by means
OF any sudden spark of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
a slow, hot IRE which nothing can put
out. They are som stimss the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In a long
fght they are slways found sturdily /
carrying the battle across No-Man's |
Land In the last grim struggle. The 4
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he Is to win this
great war sgainst war.
This war was at frst hard to under
stand No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were

NOTICE TO FARMERS

Every farmer in the county should
be present at the meeting in the
Court House on Saturday at II
o'clock, for the purpose of organizing
a marketing association. 1t would be
hard to estimate the losses the farm
ers have sustained in the past by the
lack of cooperation in marketing
their products, which in an organized
manner they could have sold to much
greater advantage. In order to get
ready for the fall sales, this assoca-
tion is to be organized on Saturday.
Also, delegates are to be elected to
the State Association which meets on
Tuesday next. Hon. w. G.. Smith,
State Warehouse Commissioner and
others will address the meeting here
on Saturday and will assist in organ
izing the county association. This
matter affects every farmer in Union
County and it is hoped that a large
crowd will be present.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT

Benjamin Kirby, the six year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. f. Kirby hap
pened to a very peculiar and painful
accident late yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Kirby had gone out to milk the
cow. The little boy was minding the
flies off the cow with a small brush,
and while doing this, dog ran up
swapping at the cow; the cow became
excited, and attempted to hook the
dog, and instead, her horn caught the
little boy in the chin and ripped his
lip open. 1t was a very narrow es-
cape. The wound had to have six
stitches taken in it. The little fellow
is resting well and his face will not
be disfgured.

DIR. WILLIAM JENNIFER,
u. S. LABOR DEPARTMENT
REPRESENTATIVE IN CITY

DR.. William Jennifer, special ex-
aminer from the Employment Divi-
sion of the U. S. Labor Department
at Washington. d. c., is in the city
looking into labor conditions with a
view to formulating plans for mutual
work on the part of the farmer and
the farm laborer for the increase of
manner represents the Employment
Service of the U. S. Department of
Labor, which is cooperating with the
agricultural department in an eff
fort to bring the American people to
a full realization of the grave duties
resting upon them as food producers
for the salvation of the allied forces
in this terrible war.
In an interview Examiner Jennifer
said. can equitable distribution of
all classes of labor is the aim of the
United States Department of Labor
and its efforts, through the work of
the Employment DIVISION have al
ready proven of great value to the
organized industries of this country.
Owing to the great shortage of food,
and its increased consumption, i'm
mediate efforts are now being made
to stimulate an interest in such labor
as have to deal with the food products
of the farm. The desire is to help the
farmers and the farm laborer to a
mutual adjustment of their differ
ences and to a realization of the
grave duties resting upon them in
uniting their efforts to increase the
food products of the nation. In this
the most crucial period of the worlds
history this nation has right to con-
serve it's energies and direct it's eco
nome forces. In consideration of this
fact the government will tolerate no
idleness. 1t is asking every private
citizen to take his place willingly in
the front trenches of domestic en-
deavor before he is thrown in by the
iron hand of the law of necessity. The
idle man is inimical to the success of
democracy and menace to the we'll
being of our commonwealth. There
tore, plans are being perfected for
uniform industrial activity through
out these United States.
We must assure the farmer of la
Dor support to increase his farm food
products. We should realize that if
the farmer fails in his food produc-
tion the result of his failure will be
the worst famine in the worlds his
tory. The country is practically de-
nuded of farm labor, therefore the
farmer must draw and improvise his
labor force from the people, not gain
fully employed, who live in the cities"
Examiner Jennifer will address the
citizens here Friday night, Junt 81,
at the A. M. f. church, his subject:
"The Back to the Farm Movement"
will be treated as a message from the
government to the people. The public
