more per acre than they do now, as
some European countries had to do to
keen alive, they must be assured OF at
Ieastas decent an income as the city
men are getting today, or they will
have to let the cities feel the pinch Of
hunger.
The farmer will be the last to suf-
fer for want of food.
The past two months decline Of food
stuffs is absolutely unfair to the FAR
mer! We think it has declined fully
a0Gt while organized labor has shown
advanced salary increases.
The farmer is today a disappointed
mainland rightfully 50. The fact
that he is not organized prevents us all
from feeling this. An empty stomach
brings any person TO his senses
Not alone must he have good roads,
the chance for study at agricultural
colleges, liberal education on the
practical treatment of farms so that
farming may be made q paying profess
sion. but he should have greater re-
rresentation in our legislatures.
Above all, we must give the farmer
the chance of marketing his goods at
n profit AS all businesses that sell to
him expect to make a profit.
Let rs aid him by making true VI
sion possible.
If we fail to do this, farming must
suffer.
