The Farmers Working Day---How
Long Shall II Be?

Henry Ludwig, Baraboo, contribu-
ties the following article, written by
Prof. T. u Carver of Harvard and
printed in the Farm Journal, to this
column.
For the good of his own soul and
body every man ought to do an hon
est days work every working day. He
ought to do enough work to make
him feel comfortably tired at quit
ting time-tired enough to make rest
agreeable; tired enough at least to
prefer rst to devilment. This, however,
is not the most important aspect OF
the question of a proper working day,
The important thing to consider IS
it's effect upon the prosperity and we'll
being of the country.
All people must, of course, live on
what all the people produce. If some
cut down their production, some 9TH
ers must make up for it, or there will
be less produced for all. IF those who
cut down their production also de-
mand larger share of the whole ma
produce still more or consume still
less. If everybody in every occupation
were to cut down production, every
body would, of physical necessity, be
compelled to consume less. This COM
pulsion would either take the form OF
reduced money incomes or soaring
prices. In either case our incomes
would buy fewer goods.
Farmers are naturally wondering
why they should be asked to increase
their production, or even to maintain
the present rate, if those who are pro-
ducing the things which farmers want
insist on producing less and consum-
ing more. If two wrongs ever make
one right, farmers might be justified
in saying: eff everybody else is going
to work less and demand more, we
will do the same" Two wrongs, of
course, never do make one right; but
such threat might have the bene-
fetal effect of bringing indoor pro-
ducers to their senses.
A standard eight-hour working day
is out of the question in seasonal in
'dustry, such as agriculture. They
who work indoors, whose work is
therefore not interfered with by sea-
sona1 changes, who can do the same
kind of work every hour of every day
and every day Of every year, can work
a fixed number of hours every day.
The condition OF crops and the needs
of animals, to say nothing of the wea-
Their itself, do not seem TO accommo-
date themselves to any kind of stand
ard working day. The farmer must
do his work when it needs to be done,
not always when he would prefer to
do it.
On the other hand, every class tends
to reduce its working time as it grows
more prosperous. Having attained a
certin degree of prosperity, it has to
decide whether it prefers a little more
prosperity or little more time in
which to enjoy the prosperity already
won. There is some justification for
this, and there is no reason why far
mers should not follow the same rule
as others This must take the form
of reducing the amount of work per
year rather than the form of a six,
or even an eight hour day. The year
is the farmers unit, as the day is the
indoor workers
Reducing ones working time in or.
der to have more time to enjoy well
earned prosperity is quite different
from cutting down production in or

SOME COUNTIES SHOW
AUTOMABlLE DECREASE

Columbia, March 2S.-There are more
automobiles registered in South Caro-
lima for 1920 than there were for last
year by more than three hundred, but
in some of the counties where automo-
biles are most prolific the registrations
have fallen off, especially in Richland,
orangeburg, Charleston and Spartan
burg counties. Richlnnd shows the
greatest decrease i'm the number of
registered cars and Charleston is close
second in the tardiness. This is accord.
ing to figures made public Saturday al
ternoon by the state highway depart
ment in Columbia.
Officials of the highway department
'tate that they expect the total regis
Lrations this year to run to $4,000, as
ompared with 70,l3S for last year.
though as yet the total for the state

The number of dealers paying the
license has decreased in several counties.
