Another significant thing in connec-
ton with the present adjustment is
the decrease in the amount Of food in
cold storage. According to the report
of the New Jersey state department
of health, which has charge of the cold
storage Of that state, the decreases in
to December Is were as follows: Fresh
meats from 20,785,771 pounds to 49,
2l0,977; eggs from 34l, 1872 cases TO
2l5,34S; cheese from 1870, 923 pounds
to l~,5l8,477; butter from 1893, 1925
pounds to 3,200,l32; fresh fish from
$685. 72 pounds TO 1924, 27S; milk and
its products from 81 1886 pounds to
529,477, and edible oils and fats from
20,S63 pounds to 5000. While this
survey includes only one state, it is
a far index Of all the states. The
decrease is not pronounced in many
Of the commodities, but the significant
thing is that there is a decrease in
al of them. The decrease Indicate

administration, congress has always
marked time, doing nothing but rou-

this item. Present conditions demand
action. Mr.. Harding has admirably
expressed the sentiments Of the peO-
pie in his speech of farewell to the
senate when he said, "Three months

President Wilson recommended that
congress establish a budget system,
revise the tax laws, practice economy,
enact a law for federal licensing of
corporations, regulate cold storage, en-
courage agriculture and the dye in
dustry, provide better care for disabled
soldiers and sailors, make a loan to

made no definite program public. it

CHEER UP!

st. Paul PiOneer-Press The United
States is the greatest financial nation
in the world. Our bank reserve total
more than $50, 00O, OO0, 900. 1t is the
greatest creditor nation in the world,
Before the war we owed $4,000, 000, 900
to other nations. Now the other ma
tons owe us about ia, 000, 000, 600.
There are more than Is, 900, 900 dcpo-
itors in the national banks Of the
country, and the people Of the United
States have more than 5000, 000, 600
of money in circulation, a total per
capita of S59.48. And the only 100 per
cent piece OF currency on earth just
now is the American dollar!
We have just harvested the biggest
crop ever. We raised more than g.
000, 000. 900 bushels of corn during the
past year; more than 750, 900 900
bushels of wheat; more than 1000
000, 900 bushels of oats, more than
420,0 900 900 bushels Of potatoes; moro
than II, 200, 900 bales of cotton. Most
of our crops exceed last years figures
by a large percentage. The total value
of our principal farm products, even
at present prices reaches the vast sum
of 80. 14G, $40. 900 according to the final
estimates of the department of agri-
culture, made public today.
We have this year produced 49,
000,0 900 tons of bituminous coal, and
6 5000. 900 IONS of anthracite, both fig
ures largely exceeding last years. For
the first nine months OF the present
year we produced 1000, 900 tons of
pig iron, exceeding our production
last year by more than 5000, 900 tons.
Says the Literary Digest's analysis of
present business conditions, from
which these figures are taken: "The
productive capacity Of our farms, fac
tories, mines and forests Is unmatched
by any other two countries"
Our transportation system is being
liberated from congestion. During the
first eight months of 1920 we moved
5000, 200, 900 more tons of freight
than during the corresponding eight
months of the preceding year. In the
first week of June, 1920, we loaded
10000 cars; during the week ending

for perhaps eight million dollars and
in return will be given preferred stock
in the corporation for that amount.
With a working capital of about $10.-
000, 900 thus obtained, the banks could
loan money to agricultural interests,
discount the paper to the corporation
and have sufficient money to carry on
their business. According to Mr.. Fit
tie this proposition was considered
favorably by the legislative committee
of the South Dakota State Bankers as
ISOLATION at a meeting held recently in
Aberdeen.
AT a similar conference between the
bankers and the farmers held Tuesday
at Aberdeen at which 500 farmers and
bankers were in attendance an idea
was presented that the financial strin-
gency may be alleviated if farmers
market their crops in small amounts
each month, especially if the market
is open. so that they may realize near
their value. Resolutions were passed
calling for a protective tariff on the
importation of agricultural products
and thereby preserving the market for
American farmers. It was stated that
the only apparent relief is a marked
improvement in the prices of farm
products which will cause the farmers
voluntarily to market their products
and thereby reduce their indebtedness.

THE FARMERS WAY OUT

Manufacturers Rccord-AlI that the
farmers of this country need to do to
secure larger profits for themselves is
to follow the example Of m%anufactur-
ers and laboring men. When the man
facturer cannot run his plant to full
capacity and earn a fair profit he Re.
duCes his output, and necessarily so
if he wants to keep out of bankruptcy.
he cannot maintain his family on the
wages he has been receiving he de
mands a higher rate of pay and Usu-
ally gets it. In order to enforce his
demand he goes on a strike, and thus
lessons the productivity of the coun-
try until he wins out for his higher
demand, or until his own poverty
forces him back to work again. lie
decreases his hours Of work under
the teaching Of the national admins
t%ration, which proclaims eight hours
workers. All that the farmer has to
do is to follow the example Of those
people. Instead of cult1yating as much
land as he can possibly work, he les
son his labors, reduce his acreage,
and thus joins in a campaign to bring
production of all farm products down
to a basis at which the country will
pay him a profit for his output, he
does less work, c%ultivatcs less land
and makes more money. 1t is conceiv-
able that the farmer, long suffering
as he has been, working from early
dawn until long after dark, is going
much longer to put up with the con
ditions under which he has labOred
in the past, while he ees that oper-
ating on an entirely different basis
the manufacturers and the industrial
workers secure more profitable re
suits for their efforts?
