- BSERVERS Of business are
I'D aLse.... unanimous in their as
surances that there is better

IN DOENN v ENO VI tpusHSSs 50
aL.c... unanimous in their as
surances that there is better
feeling" about business.
Just Oxactly what this recurring
phrase means is difficult TO state.
1t might be descriptive of any OF a
dozen psychological changes that
could enter into the situation. If
il means that people generally have
begun to realize the causes that
have thrown industry out OF bal
ance, and to appreciate the things
that must be corrected before con-
ditions come into equilibrium again,
then we should say that the re-
ported better feeling" constituted
an important advance toward nor
malcy. II, however, the better
feeling means simply that people
are merely smiling and waiting
more patiently, rather than setting
themselves seriously to the task OF
wage and price reductions and other
readjustments that are necessary,
then we fear that il signifies but
little.
There is fresh evidence constantly
that the readjustments are taking
place, They are slow, but it takes
ume for a knowledge OF conditions
10 reach all classes and divisions of
the population, and for them to
make up their minds to give the
cooperation that is necessary TO
bring industry back into balance.
Meanwhile, it will aid in the cultiva-
ton OF patience to realHe that con-
ditions are by no means so bad as
they might be, and that considering
all the circumstances the volume OF
business is really surprisingly large.
The fundamental difficulty upon
which revival OF business waits is
still the inequality Of values as be-
tween the various classes OF goods
md services. The normal basis OF
trade between people in different
industries has been disturbed, and
il is only by the pressure of painful
experience that the old relations are
restored.
The producers of cotton, corn and
oats, wool hides, sugar and food
stuffs generally ate getting nc more
for their labor than before the wat.
Among the principal items OF ex-
pense to them is clothing. They
! produce the raw material for it, but
under the modern system OF indus
try sell it and buy il back in the
iorm Of garments, paying the trans
portation, charges, mill-workers,
,sarment-workers and all middle
men by supplying food and raw
materials TO everybody
An Of the people who have part
Elm the conversion of wool, cotton
and hides for the farmers use are
stiu getting 100 per cent or better
above pre-war wages, but naturally
they are not IN at work, for the

HOLD FOR ADVANCE
IN PR|CE--(ONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. Gu. P.)+-
do not sell your goods until you get
your price" was the warning members
ers all over the country as result of
the senate approval of the administra-
tons farm credits bill, counted 10
boost prices of all farm products.
Hold cotton for 20 cents" was the
word sent to the cotton states. West
ern senators told their constituents to
ask highet prices and hold their sur
pluses until the buyers meet the price
asked. The senators predicted this
move would cause a much higher gen.
cral tone to the agricultural market.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-08-06

evident reason that the farmer can
not buy as many clothes at the
present prices as when his own
compensation was on a par with
the compensation OF these people
with whom he is trading services.
A similar problem faces the wage
earners in all the industries. The
wage-workers in agriculture have
the situation before their eyes, and
have yielded to it promptly. The
wages of farm hands have dropped
approximately one-half. Farm hands
were close enough TO the situation
10 see that it was that or nothing.
The factory workers, railroad em-
ployes and town workers generally
are many OF them working for The
farmers and will have to face the
same situation. Unemployment ex-
lists on a large scale because goods
cannot be sold, and they cannot be
sold because the industrial situation
is out of balance. Recovery Will
come as the balance is restored and
cannot come otherwise.
L is greatly TO the credit OF the
wage-earners as class that the
process of redtljustment has pro-
eJedcd with as little friction as has
been the case thus far. Generally
there has been willingness TO make
concessions. 1t is not advisable that
the movement should be unduly
pressed. 1t IS better TO take more
time, although delay means that the
losses are greater, for the wage
earners are entitled to know why
lower wages are necessary. They
are interested IA having the neces-
sary readjustments made IN order
that industry. may be on a basis that
will agord steady and full en-
ployment.
Wage reductions will have to go
much further in the manufacturing

industries and in transportation be-
fore this situation is reached. 1t
has been contended, and with much
force, that living costs should lead
rather than follow. wage reductions,
and they have led at the expense of
the earnings OF farmers and at the
expense OF profits and dividends,
but they have reached point-where
further price reductions are depend
ent upon wage reductions. These
reductions, however, will not mean
loss of purchasing power to wage
fearners. for the very reason that
wages are now the principle factor
in prices, and the cost of living
&nerally speaking, will decline
accordingly
On the other hand if further re-
ductions are not made in the in
dustries indicated. living costs afe
likely to rise. Already the farmers
are organizing for the purpose Of
curtailing the production of agri-
cultural products. The cotton crop
this year will be Is per cent below
the average amount required under
normal conditions to meet the de-
mand. Plans are being developed
to curtail the production OF food
stuffs. These policies are justified
by the combinatons OF wage-earners
and others to maintain wages and
the prices OF town-made products at
an unfair level above farm products.
The whole system OF restriction is
wrong and in the end defeats the
purpose in view OF bettering living
conditions for those who practice il.
When everybody practices it the
result is poorer living conditions for
ALL The best results will be OBJ
tanned for every grouns Of workers
by fair attitude toward others,
and by a common policy 10 promote
the general good.

BOIL WEEVIL POISONING.

Clemson College, July 31.-"We
do NOT advise the use Of swcetened
poison for the cotton boil weevil be-.
cause experimental work has so far
failed to show amy profit from this
oprrton at this timc," says Prof.
y. +. Conradi, cntomologist, who
is rccciving many inquiries asking if
swcvtencd poison is recommended
"Whcrc the wccvil is sufficiently
abundant ON high yielding land and
whore conditions for poisoning arc
right, we recomm md the use OF call
ci,tm arscnatc busted properly"
AS stated in previous articles, the
use Of swectcned poison is not new,
but is Il very old recommendation
and little used by farmers in the
been known, and literature is full Of
statements to the effect that weevils
can be killed with poison before the
cotton squares. Among other pois-
ons, various combinations of sweet
ened poisons were used twenty-five
years ago, but have generally been
abandoned when no definite increase
in yield was obtained.
If conditions arc proper, the use
of calcium arsenatc is recommended
as more effective and more economi-
cal. But farmers are again caution
cd TO inform themselves thoroughly
in regard to the methods and proper
, time Of application, because unless
I these directions are carefully follow
! cd it is "a very easy matter to go to
4 considerable expense without Sc
curing any profits. Poisoning will
not be profitable on low yielding
land and is not likely to be profitable

ducing threc-fourths of bale pc,

break in the dam and the resultant
damage to the plaintiff, but whether
d, contributed, as a factor in produc-
ing the damage"
The court held that if defendants
negligence co-operated with an un-
preccdentcd rainstorm to product the
injury, defendant would be liable if
together the two causes were the
proximate cause Of the injury or if
the defendants negligence is the
proximatc cause.
The court held also that "ordinary
care is that degree Of care which a
man of ordinary prudence would use
in the same or similar circumstances
and the degree of care required in a
particular case must be proportioned
to the danger, and this rule APPLIES
in an action by counties for destruc-
ton of bridge against the owner Of
the dam, which burst, causing the
