The farmer may never be threaten
ed with unemployment as his city
brother is. but nevertheless he has
difficulties az serious with which be
must contend. The fall in the cost
of machinery and farm implements
has not kept pace with the deflatiOn
which has brought the farmers pro
ducts to pre-war levels. Consequent
ly the farmer has not been able TO
increase production because he has
la led the funds with which to work.
In some states farm improvements
have declined so per cent. This means
that production will be curtailed.
and that eventually the consumer
must pay higher prices. The only
way to keep down the cost of living
is to aid the farmer by forcing down
the cost of farm machinery and equip.
ment. After all we will find that in
the farm lies the cause and -cnre for
nearly all of our difficulties.
When we think of the coal bill, we
begin to envy the lazy bears, who can
curl up in their fur coat ina protected
nook and spend the winter in sleep.
We poor mortals, however, must work
and slave in order to keep from starv-
ing or freezing to death.
