SHOULD MAINTAIN
EQUAL BALANCE.

Agriculture is but another form
of industry IN fact. IL is the basis
or industry because upon IL depends
the food supply. The drift from
countryside into the city. carries dis
quoting pOrtents. II our growth in
manufacturing in the next few years
holds its present momentum. il will
be necessary for America TO import
foodstuffs. II therefore devolves
upon the government, through in
tensive scientific cooperation 10 help
IN maintaining : nearly as possible
the existing balance between food
production and consumption. Farm
ing Will not inspire individual Eff
fort unless profits. all things consid-
cred, are equal 10 those in other ac-
tivtties. An additiOna check TO de-
plett ranks in the fields would be
the establishment OF modern state
rural school codes. The federal GOV
trnmeDt sGCuld maintain active
sponsorship cf this. Rural parents
would be lacking in the element
which makes civilization enduring il
they did not desire for their chill
dren educational opportunities COM
parable 10 those in the cities. The
price the consumer pays for food
stuffS is no indication of what the
producer receives. There are too
many turnovers between the two.
Society and government, particularly
local and state, have been remiss in
not undermining local marketing ia
cthties. municipalities must in large
measure il terest themselves in. if
OF directly control community
markets. This is a matter of such
importance that the federal govern
ment can prOfitatly expend money
and effort in helping to evolve meth

welfare OF the republic.
Common prudence would suggest
that we increase TO our utmost. our

have their limitations. There are

iects. Every dollar spent will yield
compromising results.
URGES BETTER
TRANSPORTATION.
ANY discussion Of the question Of
food supply leads very quickly 70
the closely related matter of trans
portauon. There is no one thing
which brings us so internationally to
critical conditions than the insult
ficiency of our transportation facil-
tiles. Both the railroads and the
public are TO blame. There has
been no material addition 10 the
total mileage in the last ten years.
and the increase in terminals has
been much less than required. At
the beginning of the war, the roll
ing stock was sadly reduced and in
adequate. The public had not given

eds and 10 show their virtues. The
farmer raises his crop and the price
which he receives is determined by
supply and demand. His products
In beef and pork and produce. pass
into cold storage and ordinarily
when they reach the consumer the
law OF supply and demand does not
cttain. The preservation OF food
stuffs by cold storage is a boon 70
humanity. and IL should be encour-
aged. However, the time has come
for its vigilant regulation and mas
much as IL becomes n part OF inter
state commerce. the responsibility is
with the federal government. Sup
plies are gathered I'm from the farm
in times Of plenty. They can easily
be fed out 10 the consumer in such
manner as 10 keep the demand In
excess OF that part of the supply
which is released from storage. This
is an unfair practice and should be
stopped. Besides, there should be
"a time limit beyond which perish
able foOdstuffs should not be stored.
Every successful modern business
enterprise has its purchasing, pro-
ducing and selling departments. The
farmer has maintained only one, the
producing departn ent. IL is not only
fair that he be enabled both 10 pur-
chase and 10 sell advantageously, but
il is absolutely necessary because
he has become a competitor with the
manufactures for labor. He has been
unable to compete In the past and
his help IN consequence has been
insufficient Therefore the right of
cooperative purchasing and selling
IN the modern view. should be re-
moved from all question. Agricul-
tural thought has not been suf-
nciently represented in affairs OF
government which deal remotely or
directly with the soil and it's prob
lens and its possibilities would be
more valuable 10 the general welfare
if the practical experience of the
farmer we're an element in their adj
ministratiOn. To be specific, the in
tcrstate commerce commission, the
federal reserve board. the federal
trade commission and the United
States tariff commission are admin
| istered by business men. Does any
one contribute more 10 the making
and success of railroads than the
farmer or TO the creation and pros
pcrity of the banks, or TO the sta bill
ity Of manufacturing and trade
units. or 10 the agencies interested
