Conclusion

These principles presented by the
representatives of agriculture in the
Industrial Conference and transmit
ted by the employers group are be-
LEVIED to be not only vital to aglicul-
ture, but vital to the common good.
The highest concept of government
in a democracy is to coordinate the
functions of all its parts into a
perfect and symetrical whole. In
the case of the individual the mind
wisely protects physical we'll being
and produces proper physical and
mental balance. Theoretically. dem
ocratie government does this FOR all
its people. In practice, however, GER
tain members through intensive or
carnations acquire and exercise un-
due influence, destroying thereby the
harmony which should exist between
all the essential elements. The sit
uation which has brought about this
conference is due to lack Of recogni-
ton OF this basic duty of government.
agriculture comes into this Industrial
Conference seeking to give practical
expression to this idea. The repre-
sentatives Of agriculture believe that
Capital, Labor and Agriculture are
the three principal members OF tho
Industrial body and must have equal
rights and equal treatment.
Farmers eware of the disparity
which has arisen are earnestly en-
deayoring through their organizations
to secure for agriculture it's proper
field OF influence in this triumvirate
so that all may be subjected to the
welfare Of the whole, contending the
while that influence and activity de-
yeloped within the ranks Of agricul-
ture are superior to paternalism of
any kind and the only adequate
means of developing its mate
strength and power.

Financing Agriculture

The availability of capital used in
agriculture is matter of public con-
Germ. Direct extension Of federal
credit through the land banks will
reduce the cost of this capital and
should be made easier of access to
all farmers. Associated credits of
farm communities should be devel-
oped under proper laws and leader
ship.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-10-31

laborers than any other single i'm
dustry. The number Of operating
farmers and their hired employees is
greater than that of laborers in all
other industries combined Any adj
! iustment of industrial wage disputes
to be fundamentally sound and per
manent must give full consideration
to the relation between wages on
American farms and in other indus
tries. To pas higher wages on the
farm inevitably means higher prices
tor farm products. The present level
OF wages makes it impossible TO culti-
yate American farms with the great
est efficiency and must reduce pro
duction.
Reciprocal Duties and Obligations
TO produce stuff cient food is the
primal duty Of those engaged in agri-
culture. and to the limit of their
physical and financial ability this
duty should be performed. For this
there must be 3H equivalent in value.
Farmers dIscharging this duty to or
ganized society have right to de-
mand-
(a) Such returns as will fairly
compensate them for their capital in
vested, their technical skill, their
managerial ability and their manual
labor.
(b) That they and their families
have social, educational and political
opportunities equal to those engaged
in other activities.
Failure to meet these demands
will result in continuance and an
acceleration OF the decline in agri-
culture. Increased production is still
the slogan of the hour and the farm
er is still working at high speed and
long hours and without adequate
help. and facing falling markets for
his products. He now appeals to
those in other calings to buckle down |
to work and turn out the products, |
stop the profiteering and all together
begin to pay the debt that hangs over
the land

develop leadership from their owl
ranks and in accord with their owr
best interests; and to represent the
/ industry in it's contact with other in.
dustries and with the public.
Storage
Adequate food storage reservoirs
are essential to well fed people. In
time of heaviest production foods
should be stored away in such guam
titles as will tide over periods OF
nonproduction. Depletion of these
supplies during the harvest months
will probably mean bread lines before
spring. Wise public policy will ell
courage properly regulated storage
by farmers and others of essential
reserves of food
The High Cost of Living
Much of the complaint of the high
cost of living is the result of extrava-
CANT living. The cost of living is
high or low according as the price Of
necessaries of life rise above or fall
below the general level of salaries
wages and income The present cost
of living is not due TO the prices re-
ceived by the farmer for his prod
ucts, as shown by a comparison be-
tween farm prices, food prices, and
wage levels, Reliable government
statements indicate that the percent
age of increase in food prices is not
as great as that of other commodities
entering into the cost of present day
living or of the level Of wages in
other industries.
Land Tenures
Land tenancy is increasing, farm
ownership is concentrating in the
hands of nonresident land owners,
a condition which from historic pre-
cedent presages declining national
virility and, if not checked, ultimate
ly feudal peasantry. An independ-
ent, successful and permanent agri-
culture with the essential schools,
and social facilities, can
absentee ownership. Its inevitable
end is not only a social cleavage
which is opposed to the principles
Of our American democracy but an
other new and dangerous line of in
dustrial cleavage and conflict. Al
permanent agriculture must be predi-
Gated 6n voluntary home owning
farmers politically free, socially sat
Isfied and economically independent.
Farm Depopulation
The farmers efforts to secure high
or wages or better working condi-
lions are not based on an organized
refusal to work. His environment
gives him those qualities which
make him sought by many other oc-
equations and professions. Banks,
factories, stores, transportation and
call to him to come to
-kem, and the professions make their
fine appeal. In the quiet of his
home with his family about him his
boy or girl decides to heed that call.

ers.

begin to pay the debt that hangs over
the land
Farm Production
The demand for farm products
should be scientifically satisfied.
Oyer-production as we'll as under
production dislocates industrial and
economical balances, and in the end
results in economic waste. In 1910
we produced over 100000 bales
OF cotton. In 1911 we produced 49,
100000 bales and yet received $780,
100000 less than nothing for them.
In 1915 we produced 1925, 100000
bushels of wheat and received s942.-
OO0,00 for it. In 1916 we produced
Gao, 900 900 bushels and received
1920, 100000 for it. Society had
the benefit of 3S5. 100000 bushels of
wheat, but the farmer received $751;
100000 less than nothing for them.
Thus it Will be seen that simply to
produce will not mean prosperity.
Reliable official cost of production
studies and records are in existence
proving inadequate returns to agri-
culture. This information should be
widely circulated so that the public
may know the truth. Further
studies of cost of production. to-
gether with comprehensive studies of
marketing, including prices actually
received by farmers, are also needed.
Hours of Labor
Neither the day nor the week is a
unit upon which agricultural costs or
income can be satisfactorily based
Conditions are so variable that it is
difficult to prescribe rule applica-
Bile to all localities or to any locality
at all seasons. 1t is, however, becom-
ing more difficult for farmers to Sc
cure laborers who are willing to work
more hours than do laborers in other
industries. Experience shows that
the hours of farm hired laborers ap-
proXimate the hours of labor finally
prescribed in other industries. The
nature OF agricultural work is such
that it cannot economically adjust
Itself to specific hour day. Ii A
definite day basis is determined upon
IN other industries, however. this
basic day must be the unit of all
estimates in farm production costs.
Soil Fertility
Economic conditions should be
such that the farmer may operate
his land so that its fertility shall be
maintained and perpeuated. An
adequate future supply of food re-
quires th3C the fertility Of the soil
should be conserved and replenished.
The people should unite in all mea-
sures, legislative or otherwise. that
VIII permit and accelerate the move
ment of fertilizers III such form and
quantities and at slch prices as will
enable farmers 10 maintain and con
serve soil fertility.
Cooperative Marketing
Economic and industrial condi-
tions in agriculture necessitate CO.
| operative marketing. Legal obsta-
eies are noR handicapping such eff
fort. All necessary amendments
should be made 20 state aud federal
laws to clearly prese1 ye TO farmers
