REMEDY FOR FOOD PRICES


The Department of Agriculture sees
Rftle hope OF a. decline in food prices
for at least another year: Exporta-
ton OF foodstuffs TO Europe has de-
creased so per cent Sut that relief is
largely discounted by the shrinking Of
cultivated acreage due to lack of farm
labor.
This evil. however, like other econ
omie. evils, may work its own cure. If
prices remain up, and if the farmer
gets his proper share of them, he can
afford next year to pay as much for
labor as. is paid in the cities, or more
than that. He can also afford to buy
more labor-saving machinery. Then
he will plant more acres, and produce
more food, and the price Of food will
go down.
Viewed in this light, the present
years prices are web invested by the
consuming public-provided specula-
tors and unnecessary middlemen don't
get the lions share Of them.

VACATION ON THE TARM

Sociologists tell US that this nation
as passing from the agricultural stage
of its civilization to the industrial.
This fact may or may not be consol-
ing to one who contenplates the seri-
ousnesss of the farm labor shortage
and the consequent decrease in farm
production. Whether or not it will
all work cut satisfactorily in some fu-
ture generation, the fact remains that
right now we need wheat and corn
and beans and potatoes and milk and
butter and eggs and fruit and many
other things which come to US from
the farm. And we seem destined not
to have these necessaries in anywhere
nearly sufficient quantity this year if
the farm labor shortage is not met
promptly.
Kansas is asking for 48,oeo addi-
tienai harvesters from outside her own
boundaries. Michigan wants 24,seo
farm, workers. The Michigan Farm
Bureau reports that 1857 farms in
the state will not be worked this year.
while other land which win be work
| ed will show decreased production.
The labor shortage looms up as
mighty serious to the farmer It is
going to be equally serious for the
town dweller, although he does not
seem to realize it yet. It is time Tor

| two groups
{ The Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton has instituted back o-the-farm
movement by which it. hopes to. in
terest men who have had farm ex-
perience but who have left farms for
city jobs, in returning to help the
farmer for one season. at least The
association is running a farm-labor
clearing house. It seeks the special
opportunity for the skilled worker,
land finds some sort of work for every
applicant unless he is absolutely un-
fitted for farming. The encouraging
feature Of the associations work is
that there are applicants. In other
States an appeal is being made to COL
lege and high school students to spend
their vacations farming.
Farm wages are good nearly every.
where, and young men could scarcelr.

financial gain. health and pleasure

United States alone is estimated for
this year. Europe is still having trou-
bles of her own and has been unable
to bring up her production to former
levels.
Famine in America is almost un-
thinkable. But no one can prophesy
the full seriousness of the food short
age ahead of us. SO long as the after
noon movie performances In the cities
are thponged with husky youths who
scorn farm labor and seek city jobs
with short hours and high wages the
problem will remain unsolved. Those
idle youths are not alone to blame.
They are typical of the attitude of
many other groups of citizens. The
guilty and the innocent will suffer
alike if idleness, extravaganza and
greed become national ideals instead
of industry, thrift and generous SER
vice.

DO WE WANT FAMINE?

Must America suffer real hunger
next year because Of national indlf-
ference to the problems Of food pro-
duction? More pay and less work is
the mirage which is drawing labor
away from the farm and turning it
into the factories and mills of the
great industrial centers. Many farm
boys have left the farms seeking part
time jobs with big pay in the c:ties.
The farmers can not get the labor
they need. and With all the good inten-
tons in the world they are compell-
ed to reduce their acreage.
There. has been a great deal Of talk
about this decreased food production,
but few people seem to have faced the
true seriousness of the situation. Says
one expert, writing in The Rural
New Yorker:
Next winter there will be less
food in the country than at any time
during the war, unless we have the
most favorable season and better con-
ditions for farming. Our reports are
all one way. Farmers are not hiring
labor largely, because they are alb
solu:ely unable to obtain help. The
average farmer is planning to do what
he can with his own labor and with
the laoor OF his family, and stop
there y
