TOO MUCH CORN
NOW THE CLAIM

This article from Longmont Call,
which dabbles good deal in agri-
cultural affairs. is given as material
for backlog debate and not with in
tention of endorsing anything con-
tanned:
There can be no question that tho
farmer. like the manufacturer. pros
pers best when he produces Just such
n quantity of each staple as he can sell
promptly at a good profit. The dan
ger is that he will produce now too
much and now too little. That not
only means loss to him but disar-
ranges the economy of the whole
world.
This year the farmers raised moro
corn than IL needed. and therefore
the price is far below what is should
be to give then a profit. Naturally
they are considering what they shall
do next year to avoid tho same trou-
bic. The more intelligent of their ad-
visers are recommending that they
reduce tho acreage OF corn to corre-
spond with the proba - demand. The
danger of that course is that they
might reduce IL too much and 80
afflict the nation with II short and
unreasonably costly crop. But that is
hardly u real danger. for the Corn
felt kOoWH 10 iA'N 'hS''
to make experiments and Is pretty
sure to plant enough land to yield
fairly good crop.
1t is sometimes said that a great
amount of cheap corn is good thing
for the stock feeder and for the con-
sumer both OF corn and of meat, but
a continual oversupply of cheap corn
Is sure to lead to an oversupply OF
cattle and of pigs, and eventually TO
forced market for them at a price
below the cost Of production.
All that may seem to be TO the ad-
vantage of those who must buy farm
products: hut in the long run 1t is not
Sooner or later anything that cripplcs
the farmer financially Injuries every
one else in the country. for asricul-
turc is still and always will be the
basic industry of tho nation. No small
part of the business depression that
we are all worrying about is the re-
suit of the diminished buying power
of the farmers. caused by the fall in
the price OF corn and wheat.
1t will be interesting to see wheth-
er the corn farmers meet the problem
of overproduction with the same de-
termination that the cotton planters
showed. Tho cotton growers reduced
their crop this year to little more
than half the amount harvested n
year ago: but in doing it they had
the able assistance OF the boil weevil,
which was more active than ever in
the cotton fields. The corn farmers
may eventually find an equally effec-
tive check on production in the Euro
pean corn borer, a pest that is now
wei established in New England and
that Is moving westward in spite of
every form of quarantine. If the
corn borer ever gets a firm foothold
in the great corn region of the Miss-
isslppi Valley. the farmer Will not
have to worry about a low price for
corn. What will bother him then Will
be how to get any crop at all.

Citisen'S First Duty
To Obeu Ld,u

There are too many laws. of course.
Many OF them are unnecessary, some
are vcxatious and some are even
vicious.
But tits tho duty of every citizen
to obey the law so long as it Ia on
the statute books. There Is no other
safe course.
1t is perfectly proper to insist that
law is wrong, and to work for it's re-
peal but it is never sage violate any
law.
When we begin to violate any law.
we create disrespect for all other laws.
and when our laws fail into disrCputc
our civilization ends.
Ours is government of law. We cam
not have government without laws
and obedience to tho laws. Without
this. life and property are not safe
1t is therefore. the duty OF every
citizen to obey the law himself and
to insist upon obedience to the law by
all others.
A good citizen will not only obey the
law himself but he will assist in the
enforcement of the law upon and for
others.-Cody (Wyo) Herald.
