Editorial Comment
The Farms Must Be Maintained.
(Boston Globe)


The ancients professed to believe
that the world was borne on the
shoulders Of mighty giant. The
ancientS were right. In peace or in
war thcre is a giant who carries the
world on his shoulders. who has car
ried it from the birth of civilization
and will carry it until civilization
dies. And he is the farmer.
In peace, we take the farmer for
granted and let him alone. In war.
when a great part of the world stops
producing and goes to destroying, we
become acutcly aware of the farmers
existence. In the emergency we try
to help him in order that he NAV bet
ter help lis, but so far we have at
tanned no glittering success in the
effort.
Last year Maine farmer planted
potatoes. He put all his labor and
nearly all his money into the crop.
But the seasons rains made it fail
ure, while overproduction in other
states and lack of control of prices
obliged him and other farmers TO
take what potatoes they had to a
market with the bottom knocked ou,
OF 1t. although the bottom was not
knocked out of the retail price that
tho consumer paid.
This year that farmer is asked to
plant moro acres than ever. He has
the land; he and his sons can provide
, the labor; probably he has the seed
potatoes. But he has not the fer
tlllzer his acres need. nor the chemi-
Gals for the sprays that save the
plants, and he has not the money to
buy them.
There are other Maine potato
growers in the same fix, and else
where there are truck gardeners and
corn planters and farmers of all SORTS
in like plight.
hen most forms Of industry nee
! cssaiy to war have their troubles. the
Government steps III. For the con-
tractor or the ship builder it finds
materials, labor, credit. Its treasury
guarantees the railroad operations.
It's War Finance Corporation will be
able to finance war business of every
sort.
Inc Government has tried to helm
the farmer. Its farm loan system and
land banks have made easier the path
OF the farm mortgage. 1t has stepped
IN TO buy Chile nitrate and market it
at 9'o.o0 ton at seaboard points.
Ii mas hoped To assure the farmer of
his scotland might do more if Com
Gress would pass the $4,000, 900 seed
hlli before it is too late. 1t is accom-
modatlnE Army needs to the labor
needs of the farm.
l}ut the Government has not gone
lar enough. On one side, pcrhaps
the solution might be in an extern
sion of the land bank system through
township agents, who would know
what each farmer in their co,nmuni-
Ties required and how he could best
ne helped. At the other end the
Government should see that more of
the price paid by the producer goes
10 the producer and not to the
profitcer.

The Reason for Table Saving.

Some confusion is caused in the
minds of many people regarding the
real purpose OF the various "less" days
proclaimed by the food administration.
They seem to think that it is for the
purpose of economy, to save money. 1t
is not at ali. The object of these days
Of abstention from certain commodities
is to conserve those food staples for
export to the people of England, France
and Italy who are in need of them.
We must save meat, oils, sugar and
wheat in order that our allies may have
them for nourishment. We can subsist
on substitutes. They cannot. We have
not enough in our own supply to feed
ourselves and them as well. Conse-
quently it is up to US to save in these
food articles so that they, upon whom
the main burden of the war now falls,
may have them and may suhsist in
strength.
If this were a mere matter of econ
omy, to save money, it would perhaps
fad. For some of the substitutes cost
as much as if not more than the foods
that we are urged to save. The Ameri-
can table supplied on the ,wheatless,
meatless, oilless, sugarless basis is not,
therefore, the means Of aiding the fam
lily pocketbook It is a means of keep
ing the English and French and Italians
from suffering, possibly from starvation.
