What the Farmers Really Want

The second annual convention of the Indiana
Farm Federation showed the fundamental COM
plant of the agriculturists of this state and, for
that matter, of the whole United States. All
they ask for is a fair return on their investment
and labor.
The Indianapolis meeting showed no traces of
radicalism; neither was it marked by condemna-
tory addresses and utterances. Just the opposite
is apparent from the reports that have been re-
ceived 1t was convention composed of men
who had a grievance and sought remedy in an
American manner.
No one can accuse the farmer of being prof
iteer. Not long ago many believed that he was
receiving outrageously high prices for his crops
but when he showed his cost figures his critics
were forced to conclude that instead of making
kg returns he was receiving only small return
on his investment.
An excellent example of conditions that are
costing the farmer millions of dollars is the drop
in the price of wheat. Importation of thousands
OF bushels from Canada, much of which probably
will be sold for export has driven the price down
to a point which is below the cost of production.
Farmers and their leaders, including Gov. Allen
Of Kansas, who has demanded investigation
of wheat speculation, believe that the low price
of wheat is an artificial one. They also demand
the restoration of tariff on wheat so that the
American farmer will be protected as is the
manufacturer.
The farmer is demanding nothing unreason-
able, but is insisting that his future welfare and
the very foundation of agriculture depends upon
remedial measures that will assure him fair
prices. He believes that there is too much diff
ference between the price he receives and that
which the ultimate consumer pays-a condition
over which neither he nor the consumer has any
control. He believes that the element of specu-
ation plays too great part in the marketing Of
the products of the farm and that this condition
is harmful both to him and to the consumer.
He is seeking contentment in his farm home,
so that his and daughters will not forsake
the homeplace, but remain there to help produce
abundant crops, sold at fair prices, on a margin
that will enable the producer to look upon his

Today S Talk
ON STAYING AROUND
BY George Matthew Adams

Friction is what wears out things

Staying in one place too long always
results in wear-whether the staying

human being,
We are happiest with those whom
we do not see too often or associate
with too intimately, all the time. Even
the mother is refreshed by separation
from the ones she loves most of all.
Many people stay at one Job too
long. They rust out more than they
wear out. What they need is change
and newness of work.
Life has to it much Of crispness and
zest and great pull of interest where
there is a moving about - not too
much staying around.
There can easily be too much of a
good thing.
We should all learn to walk along
in concert. In harmony and co-Opera-
ton do people move things and thus
prepare everything in general for the
good of all. Our very bodies are
simply units. And so is the big world
and all that it represents.

favorite game too long. 1t losses

Answers to Questions

MRS. T. D.-What is the religion Of
DR.. Cary T. Grayson, physician to the
president? Episcopalian.
PUPIL.-How did the term "Pil
grim" arise? Pilgrims. the name
applied to the liberty seekers who
founded Plymouth Colony in Massa-
chusetts in 1920, grew out of an ex-
preston used by Gov. William Brad
ford. He often referred to the colon-
lists as pilgrims and strangers upon
the earth" This band did not belong
to the Puritans, as is usually said, but
to sect which grew out of Puritan
ism, whose members were called Sep
artists because they separated from
the Church of England. The first
church Of Separatists was at Gainsbor-
ough, England; the second grew up
at Scrooby. The Separatists were
driven out Of England by persecution
and established themselves first at
Amsterdam and then at Legion, in
Holland.
J. F. R.-Were the Irish exempt
from conscription in Great Britain
during the war, and why? They were
because the government apparently
feared to accentuate the disturbed
condition in Ireland.

Little Anna attends public school

pick them up. The teacher then
asked:

Anna replied: 1.-TWO"
