TINE production Of an ample
supply Of food is Of first
Importance. The city man
4 may feel that the volume
Of the nations food production is
something over which he has no
control. but that is a mistaken
poins Of view. He can be a very
great help or hindrance in the pro-
duction Of adequate, quantities Of
foodstuffs.
We realize as never before the
interdependence Of all groups and
sections Of this nation. The pros
perity or the adversely, the fore
sight or the unwisdom. Of any one
group Is felt throughout the coun-
try-and this condition has been
greatly accentuated by the war.
The extraordinary activities In va
rious urban industries are directly
and seriously affecting the farmer
and his labor supply. In conse-
quence. the food supply Of the ma
ton is being curtailed. Taking into
account the slow turnover In farm
ing. and the uncertainty as to prices
at the end Of the years work. the
farmer hesitates, and 1t may we'll
be doubted If he can afford to COM
pete in the price paid for his labor
with the industries Of the cities at
the present time.

We must not forget that the
labor supply Of the country Is short
the normal immigration Of labor
from Europe during the war, prob
ably about four millions. At the
close Of the war there was an ac-
cumulated shortage and an in
creased demand for manufactured
articles. Manufacturing industries
could afford to speed up extraordi-
narily and pay increasingly high
wages. the additional cost being
passed on to the consuming public,
The extra labor required for this
increased output was largely d.
verified farm labor.
Because Of these conditions farm
wages are higher than ever before,
but hired farm labor is scarce at
any price. and. on the whole. 70 said
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1920-06-06


This country is facing difficult situation
as to food for the next year. Enough food can
not be produced unless there is sufficient
acreage planted to food crops Farmers can
not maintain an adequate acreage without ade-
quate labor. Not only is there shortage Of
80 per cent in the supply Of hired farm labor the
country over but farm work Is greatly behind
because Of the backward spring and the large
percentage of the tins when 1t has been too
wet to work In the deld1. making 1t impossible
to accomplish nearly Is much as usual toward
getting food crops In the ground. Even with
the best possible season from NOW. until harvest.
those two thinSs-labof shortage and late spring
mean reduced food production. With poor
season between this time and harvest, they mean
food shortage. .
Do the people OF tho cities realize how close
ly that comes home to themr The cities Of the
country (other than the packing centers) have
enough meat within their limits to feed them
for. perhaps four days They have enough
flour to last few weeks. Their supply Of vege-
tables and fruits comes in from day to day.
Practically everything they eat is only few
days or. at most. few weeks removed from
the farm Do you how quickly shortage
Of production would begin to pinch the pot in
your kitchen?
If you do that. you realize how vitality
interested you are in shaping your course SO
that even If It does not directly help, it will
not hinder the farmer in his effort to produce
food, and how directly you are interested in the
farmers problems, and why you should make
them your problems also.

expenditure in these days OF so
much visible currency. we must
not forget the value Of thrift and
economy. In these words lies
large measure Of Keller. not only
from the food shortage that threat
ems because Of the conditions which
have explained. but also from
many Of the other difficulties now
confronting us. It is better for US
TO wear the clothes we already have.
or to buy new ones with modera-
ton, than to be short OF food next
winter or the winter following. 1t
is better for us to invest our money
conservatively. making it sure
bulwark against the rainy day..
than to follow-sometimes almost
giddily-after excessive profits.
The right kind Of economy will
accomplish more than might be
imagined. A comparatively small
reduction in the demand for manu-
featured articles would at least en-
able tho farmers to hold the labor
they now have-which they cannot
do II present conditions continue
and to produce enough food fairly
to feed tho people Of the country.
X X X X
am not unmindful Of that very
large constituency in our nation
which has continued to observe the
standards Of thrift and the con-
servatism in private expenditure
that obtained In the days before the
war. On the other hand. do feel
that many people, including many
young people, are indulging an ex-
travagance which Is contributing.
far more than they realize. to the
ill-proportioned emphasis now man
ifest in the field Of production-an
emphasis which in effect discounts
the essentials produced on the farm
and puts a premium on luxuries and
non-essentials. It is in this matter
Of more careful expenditure that the
city man can. very directly and eff
fectively. promote economic condi-
lions which will permit the farmer
to produce more food with rea-
sonabls assurance of profit.
