Prediction That Era Of Cheap Food Will
Never Come Back

The prediction made by Clarence Poe.
editor of the Progressive Farmer, in an
article in the Review of Reviews, that
the era of cheap food will never return,
will interest those who have hesitated
over their returning to the land IN the
future because of fear that the return
of peace would herald a reaction in prices
of farm products, and restored conditions
under which many farmers practically
worked for their board, and others We're
able to show a bank balance at the end
of the year only by employing their
wives and children without wages.
The condition to which reference is
made is familiar TO all who have lived
in rural communities In many OF these
the farmer who was even WELT do"
was the exception. Lack of accounting
system has kept many farmers in igno
rance of the fact that they were actual
ly selling their products below cost Mr..
Poe quotes with approval the striking
statement of Alva Adee that our city
consumers have been objects of charity"
in that they have received the benefits
of the unrewarded labor of women and
children on. the farms. This expresses in
few words the thought which must have
occurred to many farmer, on casting
up his profit and loss accounts.
| The price of farm products will hardly
return to the old levels so long as other
industries, i'll the centers OF population,
continue to compete openly for the labor
I of the country. 1t is no secret that the
chief reason why the farms have not
been able to hold the young men has
been that the city offered them the OPP
portunity to earn real wages, and paid
them in cash. which were not theirs SO
long as they remained at home with their
fathers. The recently intensified move
ment toward the factories has increased
the desire of young men to be financially

and in order urban activities may or may
not remain at present levels; that is a

But the fact remains that in the read

basis of fair reward for the labor in
volved. Young men who are figuring OF
making careers for themselves arc not
going to be drawn into business whici

the horse turned, tipping the wagon
over and throwing Mr.. Adams out. The

Rev. Clifford II. Smith has found it
necessary to write letter to the press
to explain the endorsement by the
Anti Saloon league of DR.. Mayo for
governor in which he expresses sur
prise cat the failure of some of our
friends to understand just what the
situation was, and he characterizes
the "calm assumption on the part of
some of the newspapers that the
league belonged to the Republican par
ty as amusing In view of the posi-
tiOn of the two candidates on ratifca-
tion he said there was only one course
to pursue. Considering the attitude of
Mr. Clement and the league in the
past on the question of prohibition it
would be a little short of a miracle to
see them pull together and no one
really thought they ever would. The
most that could be expected by the
league would be to have the Republi-
can state convention adopt plank
on which Mr.. Clement would have tc
do some clever acrobatic work to re-
tain perpendicular position

ceasing TO be reason 1t was that
millions of farmers" uncompensated for
their labor in the prices of their products,
were content TO keep on farming because
they were reaping the unearned in
crement' in land value" He attributes
this to the rapid increase in tenant farm
ing but it is probable that there are
other reasons. Clearly, however, the ten
ant farmer cannot profit from the specu-
lative increase iii the value of land owned
BY his landlord. and he must have his
reward i'll fair prices for the crops which
he has TO sell. The same condition is
likely to prevail as to farmers who own
their own land, because there comes d
time when lie cannot sell for materially
more than the price he paid. In many
sections hand values already have come
to standstill James J. Hill once point
cd out that "thc actual value of the soil
/ has already deteriorated more than it
should have done in five centuries of use,
and Mr.. Poe quotes the late Henry Wal
| lace as saying that nue.. Western land,
while advancing threefold in value in 30
/ years. is actually producing less corn
| than then.
| The full extent Of our transformation
| from a rural to an urban dwelling people
is appreciated by only a few. In 1880
only 29.5 per cent of the population lived
in cities; in 1910 the urban population
was 463 per cent of the whole. AT pres
emit owing to exceptional conditions,
proportion credited to the cities must be
much greater than that The baek-to
the land movement, while it depended
for stimulus upon sentimental books
which described the beauties of prairie
sunsets, and upon theoretical works of
the little land and living" type was
a failure. The lure did not endure.
Drawing incompetents to the farms was
not good business anyway 1t is now
beginning to be realized that farming
is calling requiring technical skill, bust
ness experience, and considerable execu-
tive ability The kind of man who would
make a master farmer could rise to the
\ top in other more profitable enterprises.
And this condition will prevail until the
rewards of agriculture are commensurate
with the labor and ability involved.
1t would seem reasonable to expect
that there will be. at least. no sudden
drop in food prices as a whole. A few
eommod ties may decline, in response to
the'lo of supply and demand, but these
will be at the expense of other products
Increased crop production as a whole
will be necessary to insure against fam
inc, and this can be insured only by a
/, suitable reward for the agriculturist. The
reward must consist not only of better
prices, but, as MIR. Poe suggests in con
clusion. of better conditions of rural liv-
ing generally To work out desirable
program is task not beneath the dig.
