the world is to be fed and agriculture pre- served The indictment of all workers cX- cept those engaged i'll agricultural pursuits is made by sherman ]. Powell and W. N Giles master and secretary, respectively of the Grange, who allege that strikes have been an important factor in raising the price of iood clothing and shelter
 "'The first factor in happy life is three meals every day. says the statement "The next is adequate clothing and housing to keep the body warm. The war has only hastened what every thinking agriculturalist has seen for years was surely coming. Rural workers have not received the support and encourage ment which the urban workers so easily ob- tained in the form of better schools, roads, churches, houses, shorter hours and higher wages for work under more favorable cQndi- tionS This had the result of steadily drawing from the country its population to an aaIrm- ing degree Now, instead of going into a study of our situation and developing rem edy our laboring brothers of the city pur- pose to remedy our trouble by arbitrary mea- sures without any real knowledge of the cost of producing the necessities of life
 No class of Americans with red blood in their veins will stand being told they must labor long hours at inadequate pay i'll order that another class may have shorter hours and higher wages. Even the faithful farmer, who has always produced sufficient food for aIL feels he has about reached the limit and that no aboring man of the city should find fault if he applies the same rule that his city broth- CT has taught him.
 'Why it is that over half our farms have mortgages on them, and that two-thirds are worked by renters: When a class of men de- mand higher wage, altho their labor does not earn it, some one else must pay, and they become dishonest protlteers.
 We here challenge the city laborer to a cost accounting that all the world may see who earns his wage Let there be an au- thoritative cost accounting of farm products and a wage scale for labor the base of which shall be its earning power.
 "When wheat was Sl bushtl, one bushel paid for days work. Nheat by govern ment fiat, is now S22O pushed, and it now reuuries from two to three bushels to pay la- Dor for one days work Again when wool was 30 cents pound allowing four pounds for a suit of clothes, the farmer received for the product S1 20. Figuring the cost of a suit of clothes at S2O thirteen days labor at Sl 30 per day paid for a suit. Today wool is G cents a pound, four pounds bringing $2,OO, the amount received by the farmer The same suit of clothing is now $40 and the laborer can obtain a suit by eight days of labor at $ per day. These comparisons will hold good with every farm product
