charged for -four and fruit and meat, 50

again all OF sudden. these consumers
shut down on their orgy Of spending. The

FARMERS CONFRONTED BY SAME CONDITION
AS OTHERS

BILE time because the demand for its cloth
was SO insistent and prices offered 80
great that it could afford to work double
tides and pay double wages and still
make money. Then, all Of a sudden, the
demand dropped oil. People got tired Of
paying th8 tailors SIS for $22.5o suits !;
the tailors had to step paying $40 yard
for s2.5e cloth; the mill had to stop
working full time and let OF half or two-
thirds of its normal force.
The result was bad business for that
particular mill and hard times in that
particular mill village.
We Win suppose again, FVu, please,
a sheep farm with tive or threa thousand
sheep, such as is in operation Ave miles
from where ] am writing. When the
woolen mill to which 1t had been selling
its heeees had to slew down production
It necessarily had to stop buying wool
Up 10 this time the sheep-raisers had
been getting from sixty to seventy cents
pound for their wool and had been able
to pay high prices for sheep fodder and
high wages to labor. Now, they can't
sell their wool fer twelve cents pound,
and are having to borrow money at high
interest to pay wages.
The result is pretty clese to disaster
for that particular sheep ranch and its
owners.
Once more. n yea please. we will sat-
pose that there Is a railroad running from
big grain and fruit and meat producing
section to a group of cities containing
several million grain and fruit and meat
eaters. For some years this railroad was
run by group Of government amateurs,
who didn't care cent whether it paid ita
way or not. 50 long as the generous

numbers.
why are they doing tAisf Simply be-
cause they can't continue to pay the ex-
isting high wages out of their lowering
incomes. 1t Is the same all over the
mechanical field Of industry.
Now. do yeu suppose that the farmer,
alone Of all employers, IL going to keep
on paying fancy wages for doubtful help,
while his income Ia being cut even more
roads?
If You do. you've got another think
coming to you. There Is no reason why
he should be asked to do such a thing.
But, whether asked or net. he isn't going
to do it There are at least thiy-nine
reasons fer this.
The first enc is that be can't,
Tho other thfrty-eight may be omitted
from present consideration The average
farmer is not a man Of capital beyond
that capital Of muscle and energy which
goes about in his boots. He has no Teser-
voir to tap when the stream Of receipts
shrinks till It won't turn the mi1l-wheel.
He has to get his dollar before he can
spend It either for seeds or fertilizer or
Transportation or labor.
II he can't get It. he surely can't use it.
