Farmers are just like every other kind of human
being, they are just people trying to make decent
living in this world and add mite towards making
it better place for their children to live in. They
have their thoughts and aspirations like other folks
They know when they imposed upon and when
they are having good times. If the people of the
cities able to get along on smaller production
and high prices, then it is most natural that the
farmers is not going to worry when the cry begins to
come to him from the city folks to grow more
grain and stock. He will figure that "what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander."
We are not saying this is the best solution by
any means. Our opinion is that until production
catches up with demand we should all work little
longer.

CAN YOU BLAME THEM7

Mr.. Geo. L. Wood, superintendent OF the DIVISION
of rural mails sent broadcast two hundred thousand
missionaries to farmers, asking how the postonlce
department might aid in reducing living COSTS etc.
The replies do not answer the questions asked
very clearly, but they do very emphatically show
Just what the farmers have on their minds uppe1-
most at the present time. They are CLASSIFIED rs
follows: & .273 - =
Inability to obtain labor to work on the farms,
hired help and the farmers children having been
1ured to the city by higher wages and easier living
High profits taken by middlemen for the mere
handling of food products
Lack of proper agencies on contract between
the farmer and the ultimate consumer.
A large percentage, probably as much as 30 per
cent indicate that the writer's intend either leaving
their farms curtailing acreage under cultivation
because of one more of these grievances and
because of the growing feeling against nonproducng
city dwellers
One farmer from Chatham, N Y, writes: |'The
time is very near when we farmers will have to
curtail production and raise only what we need
for ourselves and let the other fellows look out
for themselves People are trying to get pay for
what they don't earn"
Another farmer from Palmyra writes: II almost
fear famine. Farm help everywhere is Aocking
"06SS eA~~
the promise of good time Someone fear is
going to suffer if this condition is not remedied
shortly"
A middle western farmers adds: II attribute it .
great deal to the good times in the cities. The
young men can go to the cities and get big pay for
eight hours work while farmers have to work six
teen hours day at hard labor. All the young men
in this vicinity of any account go to the city and
there are only few old men left to work the
FARMS" ~sN"~ -.
From the replies above it will be noticed that
the farmers are not complaining particularly about
the work they have to do, but rather on the i'm
possibility to get their sons and daughters to re-
main on the farm and help The cities are drawing
too many away from the farms. If the ~laboring
man in the city is justified in reducing his work to
eight hours, why should the farmer be expected
to work fourteen to sixteen hours for the sake of
feeding the in the centers of population?
This is really the conclusion the farmer is reaching
and who can blame him?
