Stand Together
LABOR AND FARMERS SHOULD
NOT BE DIVIDED
Those Who Stand Between the Work.
ing Man and Farmer Trying to
Prevent Relations of Under
standing and Help
fulness

Washington-"It is not difficult to
see why those who stand between the
farmer and the worker, taking toll
from both, are interested in prevent
ing relations of understanding and
helpfulness," says President Com
pers, writing in American Fedora
zionist.
Between the workers of the
farms and the workers of the cities
there are those who make it busi
ness to deal unjustly with both.
The produce of the farm goes
through many hands and thereby
suffers many manipulations before it
reaches the home of the worker in
the city. Prices are multiplied be-
tween the point of production and
the point of consumption. 1t is the
same the other way around. Plainly
the farmers and the industrial work
ers need to bring to bear their COM
bined intelligence to remedy great
many evils which affect not only their
own, but the welfare of the whole
nation.
workers and farmers must both
be alert to distinguish those who
come sowing distrust and dissension.
Intelligence and good will and CO.
operation can accomplish much.
Blindness to facts, misinterpretation
of principles and distrust accomplish
nothing.
"If it costs the city worker some
80 per cent more than it did four
years ago to get for his table the
products of the farm, and if, mean
while the wages with which he must
buy those products has increased but
55 per cent, the situation is one which
is acute both to the worker and to
the farmer. If, on the other hand,
the farmer is not getting as much as
he could four years ago, and if his
machinery and materials have in
creased in cost, the situation is of
interest to both the farmers and the
workers.
"Obviously, in working out their
individual problems they have a good
deal of common problem to meet.
Just as obviously no common problem
was ever solved until the parties
thereto learned to work together"

1t becomes necessary for all those
who really wish for better conditions
for themselves not only to join the
union but to take a live interest in
its work, and to assist in making this

workers than it has been in the past.

Winter RyeIThe outlook for the
winter rye crop is also unprOmis-
ing, the same factors which Oper-
ated unfavOrably on winter wheat
having affected the rye prospects
in much the same way. Condition
for this crop for Colorado on April
l was Is per cent of normal, COM
pared with 100 per cent year ago
and the l0-year average of 80 per
cent. From this forecast the esti-
mated production of rye in Colo
RADIO this year on 10000 acres on q
basis of a normal yield of 13 bush
els per acre is 1.O63,OOO bushels, COM
pared with the forecast a year ago
on 10000 acres of 1,560,000 bushels.
For the United States, the aver.
age condition of rye on April |
was S6S per cent of normal. against
9O.6 per cent on April l, 1919. 85.8
per cent on April l. 1918, and an
average condition of 50 per cent for
the past 10 years on April 1.
Breeding Sows-The estimated
number of breeding sOws in the
state of Colorado at this time as
shown by the average of reports is
IS per cent of the number on hand
a year ago, as against los per cent
April ] last year compared with
April /, 1918. On the basis of these
figures, the number of brood sows
in Colorado April / was about g.
900, compared with 10000 April l
last year, and $1,000 April l, 1918.
The number of mature hogs assess
ed in the state April /, 1919, was
1876, ,188, compared with 194,l76 as
sessed the preceding year. The
total number of hogs in the state
as estimated by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates on January l, 1920, was
$4,000, compared with 100000 Janu-
ary l, 1919, and $4,000 January l,
1918.
The number of breeding sows in
the United States at this time is
estimated to be 8,983OO0, which is
90.1 per cent of the number on hand
last year at this time, which was
9,97O,OO0. or 1908 per cent of the
number of hand April /, 1918. The
reduction in the number of breed
ing sows is largely attributed to
the high prices of feed and the dis.
cOuraging impression that farmers
might not expect adequate returns

The area sown to winter wheat
in Colorado last fall was approx
mately $4,000 acres, compared with
1.O75,00 acres sOwn in the fall of
1918. On April the condition was
estimated to be IS per cent of nor.
NAL, compared with 100 per cent

age of 80 per cent on April l for
the past 10 years. The forecast at
this time, on the basis of q normal
yield of l8 bushels per acre, is 49,
100000 bushels, compared with 49,
$4,000 bushels last year, based up
on the condition OF the crop at that
time and the acreage found
through reports of county asses
sOrs to have been devoted to the
crop. The actual production last
year was estimated at 1860
bushels. The great difference be.
tween the forecast of production
this year and that on April last
year is due partly to decreased
acreage and partly to unfavorable
soil and weather conditions which
prevailed during the month of
March, particularly to heavy winds
and depletion of moisture.
For the United States the aver.
age condition of winter wheat on
April was 1856 per cent of normal,
against 1913 per cent on April 1,
1919, 1856 per cent on April /, 1918,

These figures indicate that there is
either much less acreage to be
farmed, or that such crops are to
be grown as will require less farm
labor. Farmers in many sections
express disbursement on ac-
count of continued high prices of
farm labor and comments are to
the effect that many will plant
only such acreages and crops as
they can care for with their own la
Dor. Many owners are also avoid
ing labor problems by leasing all
or portions of their farms. The
farm labor supply in the United
States at present is estimated to be
only 72.4 per cent of normal, COM
pared with 84.4 per cent year ago
and 72.9 per cent April l, 1918. The
farm labor requirements are fl3
