T n the public mind at this time
the question which is receiving
the most attention is the de-
cline in food production After
thirty years of warning in as plain
language as could be used by the
grange. without being called a
calamity howler. the public has
finally come to a realization that
the days of surplus farm products,
of cheap food and overplentiful
productive land are not always to
continue.
The decline in food production is
the result of social and economic
conditions. The vital problem
which the nation must solve in this
connection is the correction of these
social and economic conditions.
These existed before but were
much aggravated by the war. Be-
cause the grange is emphasizing
this problem now it should not be
assumed that this is new problem
to us! There is underproduction
or other commodities. but the one
which threatens to cause the most
acute personal discomfort is the
food shortage, so this is now the
subject of our thoughts and atten-
ton, and not only of ours but of
the whole world
X X X X
The suggestions that 1 am go
ing to make come under three heads.
The first concerns what may be
done in the present harvest eason.
The second has to do with what
may possibly be accomplished
through legislation. Very little NAV
be expected from either of these
two suggestions. The third has to
do with the consideration of the
fundamental causes of declining
food production, declining rural
population and the drift of the at
tention and interest of a whole peo-
pie away from agriculture.
First. What may be done here
and now? The size of the 1920 food
crops is fixed beyond change, ex-
cept in the most minor factors. at
this time. The crops stored for the
winter months ahead may be in
creased in value and amount in two
ways. One is by getting as much
labor as possible for work in the
harvest. For example, all available
labor is needed. To organize vaca-

and financed by and dependent on
other industries. First, agriculture
must be permitted to achieve It's
own economic independence by an
absolute freedom of opportunity.
X x X X
This may be fraught with severe
consequences to others in the read
justment, but this is the penalty for
past years of cheap food. Not un-
til this is accomplished will farm
life reassert itself in terms of good
schools, good churches and Ameri-
can standard of living. Without
this there will be no agriculture
upon which to build American in
dustrial prosperity and no free, in
dependent farmer people, much
needed, even now, to maintain
balance of judgment and common
sense in our political turmoil.
l should insist that the farmer
be given the same consideration as
any other business man; that he is
entitled to the same compensation
for his time, for his labor and the
same return on his investment.
Until he receives this, society is
not paying a fair price for his
products.
X X X X
The first step toward this rem
edy is to put all the facts before
the general public, SO that all may
know that there must be such re-
adjustment as is required by agri-
culture to perpetuate itself and
permit it to grow in step with the
growth of the nations food require
ments. A new price level is essen
tial to create abundance instead of
famine and prevent much higher
prices.
These are the essential facts,

Second. What can be done through lepis-

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER is

In these days of profiteers and
charges of profiteering it is a pleas

publisher Of a newspaper to demon

sixty now; the sugar that was twenty
pounds for dollar, costs thirty-fve
cents pound now. The newspaper

too. The item of paper alone has
advanced tremendously. Newsprint
was three cents a pound a few years
back. 1t is now twelve cents, and is
scarce at that. Finer grades of paper
have advanced proportionately. Every
other item of operation expense has
increased. And still the paper costs
