Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1919-02-07

How will the American farmer
adapt himself to the problems OF
1919? What program may the Wis
,onsin farmer wisely follow? The
fixed wheat price, in force until July
l, 1920, insures definite price returns
for the coming crop and has already
stimulated the largest seeding (49,OU0:
600 acres of winter wheat) ever made.
Doubtless it will be quite as profit
able this season as last to continue
planting wheat, but it can hardly be
considered as patriotic. With present
prospects, the nation will have crop
of over billion bushels, the unex-
ported surplus of which must be
taken by the government at the fixed
price regardless Of world price.
The most unsettled small grain
problem for Wisconsin concerns bar
ley, one of the best field crops. AS a
bread grain it's use is no longer i'm
perative; and the former outlet in
brewing is now stopped. Fortunately
it is one of the best and, at present,
cheapest of stock feeding grains.
In live stock raising and dairying is
found not only the job Wisconsin can
do best but there is a golden oppor-
tunity to push this kind of farming
more energetically than ever before
with assurance that good QUALITY of
products will find a ready demand.
All Europe is greatly i'll need of
condensed milk Wisconsin is in a
specially favorable condition to meet
the demand. Wisconsin, condenseries

PUBLIC WORKS OR
PUBLIC CHARITY?
How to Meet the Labor Cri-
sis Arising from the De-
mobilization of Troops
and War Workers.

The sudden termination of the wal
has brought this country to a sharp
realization that our man power anC
our Industrial power must now be de
modified from the destructive work
of war and remobiliZed for the con
structive work of peace. Millions OF
soldiers must be returned from the
armies to private employment; mil
lions of war workers must be mus
tered out oftthe industrial armies
and be reabsorbed into the industries
of peace. War contracts amounting
to many billions of dollars annually
must shortly be replaced by peace
contracts for more than like
amount. The situation with which we
are confronted is without parallel in
our Industrial experience.
To present t he problem in definite
terms, it may be stated that one, or
all, of the following results are not
impossible during the next two or
three years:
% There may be substantial
reduction in the total output of
industry-at time when there is
greater reed than ever before
for increased production;
~ There may be a serious reduc-
tion in the rate of wages before
there is a corresponding fall in
the cost of living;
~ There may be large volume
of unemployment. serious priya-
tion for millions of people, and an
unparalleled burden placed upon
our charitable institutions;
az There may be an outbreak Of
Industrial warfare such as this
country has not known in decades;
(5) There may be rapid in
crease of revolutionary doctrine
subversive of the principles of
American life.
1t is not the purpose Of this paper
to attempt to prove that the forego-
ing possibilities are certain to prove
actualities. 1t is enough that the
widespread assumption that the con-
clusion of peace would Immediately
usher in a period of unprecedented
world prosperity has already been
proved quite unwarranted; and that
leading students Of the problems Of
rehabilitation and reconstruction
both in Europe and America, have
reached the conclusion that the peri
cd of readjustment following the war
is frought with the grayest dangers.
The purpose here is merely to plead
that we should face the situation
with open eyes, and formulate con
structive policies with which to meet
"a possible crisis. It is only common
sense in these days to urge that soci-
ETY. should insure itself, wherever
possible, against the uncertainties of
the future.
We may turn now to considera-
tion of the means of insurance
against the dangers of the transition
period suggested in the introduction
to this paper. Substantial reduction
in the volume of production, serious
decline in wage rates. unemployment,
public charity, and social disorder

thirds of all condensed milk sent to
Europe.
Export Of cheese depends wholly
upon the price. With increasing ship
ping facilities, England can now Sc
cure large quantities of cheese from
her cwn dominions; and at much low
er prices than these now paid in
America. However, the great pros
perity of the south has stimulated
consumption of cheese and the high
price of meats has also led to the in
use of this Wisconsin dairy product.
Based on the fundamental principle
that it is generally wise to continue
to do the thing which experience has
shown to be the best adapted to the
section, the Wisconsin farmer, in
most parts of the state, cannot go far
wrong if he keeps dairying or other
live stock production in the fore
ground. The reputation which this
type of agriculture has brought the
state makes it doubly desirable that
we continue to 'scarry on
In readjusting our agriculture to
after-the-war conditions attention
should not only be given that what is
grown but more particularly to how
it is grown and how it is marketed.
After the crop is grown cooperative
effort will often-in fact generally
result in marketing it to better adj
vantage. The future calls for closer
cooperation among farmers; for q
voice in fixing prices of farm prod
ucts and for larger share in legisla-
tion affecting the farmer.

LETTER TO PARIS MAN RECALLS
R0OSEvELTS PROPHECY.

Mr.. James M. Russell, of Paris, re-
Gently received letter from his
classmate, Mr.. George Bird Grinnell,
OF New York, in which he recalled
the prophetic words of former Pres
ident Teddy Roosevelt. After tell
ing Mr.. Russell of his appreciation of
a fine box of Bourbon county tobacco
sent him, Mr.. Grinnell adds:
Since l wrote you last we have
had a good deal of sorrow and sad
ness in this family, and the holiday
time has been a very grevious one.
My sister and two of my nieces have
been ill with pneumonia and influ-
enZa, and the husband of one of
them, a splendid young italian Off
Ger, who fought through the war
and was several times wounded and
several times decorated for bravery
in action, died on December 20.
Then, on January came the death
of former President Thodore Roose-
welt, which seemed to me a national
calamity. I had known Mr.. Roose-
welt for many years and am deeply
in a letter not very long long ago,
You and / and the rest Of our gen.
Grafton are now getting within range
of the rifle pits. We. all of us, have
to face the same fate a few years
earlier or a few years later, and ]
think that what really matters is
that according to our lights we shall
have borne ourselves well and rem
dered what service we were able as
long as we could do So
This is good doctrine, and one
that he has always lived up to. The
trouble with most of us Is that we
have every intention of rendering
good service, but pretty much put IT
off always until a more convenient
season. So we do not do it, either
for our fellows or for ourselves"

BOURBON COUNTY FARM BRINGS
S525 AN ACRE.

One of the best land sales made in
the county in several years was put
over yesterday, when Mr.. Walter
Clark, acting for the Phoenix Motor
Co., Of Lexington, sold to Mr.. J. e.
Kriegel, formerly of Shawhan, a tract
Of land located on the Bethlehem
pike. near Paris, containing twenty
four acres, for 1925 an acre, or a
total of $12, 500. The land is known
as the Holt property, the former
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Blanton Holt,
who moved to Lexington some years
ago. There seems to be no longer
such thing as saying anything is
t'dirt cheap" when the present
prices of real estate are taken into
consideration.
The Eals & Harvey Real Estate
Agency, of Cynthiana, reports the
following sales of real estate made
for Bourbon county people: For
Crouch & Mcdaniel, of Bourbon
county, seventy-three acres of unim-
proved land, to Charles Mcdaniel, OF
Harrison county. On Tuesday they
sold for Mr.. Matt Lair, of Paris, his
splendid farm of ISL acres, known as
the A. S. Thompson farm, to C. D.
Wagner, of Harrison county, for
$3.50 an acre.
Through the Paris Realty Co.,
Miller & Lilleston, of Paris, sold their
new store room at the corner OF
Main and Fifteenth streets, with res
idence attached, the purchaser being
MT A. S. Wilson, of Red House, Mad
isoa county. Mr.. Wilson will move
to the property in a few waaks and
will open a grocery in the business
house. The price paid for the prop
erty was $1,000.
Mr.. Forrest B. Thomas purchased
yesterday from Mrs. Jas. H. Haggard
a frame cottage on Vine street, fol-
s1,250, cash. The cottage is well
located and of modern design.

NOW, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO
BE A FARMER?

1t is no longer proper at least, In
Bourbon county, to speak Of poor,
down-trodden farmer" Ten years
ago the farmer took the price that
was offered him for his tobacco and
farm produce, and had very little to
say in the way of complaint. To-day
he practically fixes his own price for
everything he raises, and those
prices are of kind that make him
smile. Ten years ago the farmer was
lucky to wear jeans. To-day he has
his jeans full of money, owns auto
mobiles, good clothes, and is right
ahead of the procession on every
thing. When he wants to sell his
land he gets to-day from $500 to
$500 an acre for it. Ten years ago
he was lucky and very we'll satisfied
if he disposed of parcel Of land"
for 800 an acre. He used to thank
his lucky stars If he was successful in
getting ten cents a pound for his to-
bacco. There was talk Of tobacco
men becoming millionaires when the
price of the weed went up on the
markets to seventeen cents a pound.
To-day the farmer revels in velvet"
when his tobacco brings from fifty
to seventy-five cents a pound.
In 1917 Mr.. B. w. Rash, of the
North Middletown precinct, this
county, plowed up ten acres of old
sod land and planted it in tobacco.
He realized for his crop little over
$4,000. In 1918 he again planted
the same ground in tobacco and the
proceeds of the crop sold on the
Paris market few days ago for S.
900, netting him for the two years
on the ten acres a total of $4,000,
or $1,400 an acre. Besides this
there are still standing on the ground
sixty-five large oak and ash trees.
which are worth to-day what would
have been considered a small for
tune ten years ago to the farmer
