WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-Why
is it that farming, the greatest bust
ness in the United States and the
most important one in the world, does
not pay in TINS country and is never
stable?
That is the question which is theo-
retically before the national farm con-
ference, but there is no evidence what
ever that the conference will shed
any more light on the subject than the
unemployment conference did on the
fundamental causes of unemployment
or than the disarmament conference
did on the problem of world peace
or than any other political confer
ence ever sheds on anything
1t is an Illuminating experience to
read the political announcements on
the subject of the farmer and farm
ing, and then study the views of any
competent student of the agrarian
problem and compare them. 1t gives
the innocent and unprejudiced investi-
gator the impression that politics is
largely the art of lodging the facts.
1t is true that there are more polit-
ical and legislative remedies before
the public for solving the farm prob
lem than there are patent medicines
for curing cOrns. The politicians pro-
pose a tariff on farm products, they
propose to encourage cooperative
marketing, and they have dozen
other projects for ameliorating the
farmers lot. Most of them have been
tried before and none of them has
made any large or permanent differ
ence. Congress has been turning out
large quantities of legislation for far
mers at every session for generations,
and yet the condition of the farmer
has got steadily worse ever since
about 1890.
1t is not meant to imply that none
of the legislation passed and propose ed
is of any value, but simply to point
out the obvious fact that none of it
has worked any permanent change in
the general condition of the farmer
The only thing which can be said is
lie land in the United States was ex
hausted, which happened about OF
soon after 1890, farming has been fall
ing into a more and more precarious
condition.
The Price of Land
1t is not unreasonable then to as
sumo some connection between the
! disappearance of free land and the
present unstable and Improbable con
! dition of farming as a business Ever
since the free land was exhausted tbs

BY FREDERICK }. HAsKiN

price of land has risen steadily in this
country and to astonishing heights.
This high price of land, we are as
sured by all students of the problem,
is the fundamental reason why farm
ing does not pay, and they assure US
that it cannot pay until those land
values are somehow brought down
and stabilized. 1t must be made pos
sible for the man who wants to farm
to invest his money in land and make
a good return on the investment And
it must be made more profitable for
the man who owns land to stay on it
and farm it than to sell it and go to
the city and invest money in some
thing else. These simple facts are
always and completely overlooked BY
congress and by the politicians gener-
ally. 1t would be a safe bet that
there Will be no discussion of this
phase of the matter at the conference.
Every competent man in the depart
ment of agriculture knows that inflated
and ever-rising land values are the
whole trouble with farming, and half
a dozen of them have explained the
matter to the writer of this article.
But don't quote me-" they always
end up. Their jobs are political Jobs.
The opinion that something must
be done about land values is by no
means confined to so-caIIed radicals.
Colleges and banks are not radical in.
situations. Yet the gist of the whole
mater is contained in some figures
compiled by the Iowa State College OF
Agriculture and published in one OF
its market letters by the National City
Bank of New York.
A Typical Case
This study comprised, among Other
things, an investigation of 1876 farms
devoted to the raising of oats. The
average value of the land was found
to be $3.50 per acre. The largest item

this land was the interest on the
money invested in the land at 51a per
cent. This production cost came to
1888 per acre. All other production
costs came to $15.09 per acre. Thus
over half the cost of production was
interest on the investment in land. The
study showed that on only two farms
out of the 1876 We're oats produced for
less than the market price of oats,
which is Al cents a bushel. In other
words, all of the other farmers were
raising oats at a loss. They could
vastly better afford to sell their land
and put the money and their time in
something else.
This is the way the thing works. AS
population increases the price of land
rises steadily, inevitably. The result
is that the price of farm products also
rises. All of us, when we pay our gro
Gerry bills, are giving half the money
to the landowners. But there is con-
slant opposition on the part of the con-
sumner to the rise of food prices. Hence
the price of land tends to rise always
little faster than the price of farm
products. The land price is pressing
always against the food price, so to
speak, and the farmer is caught and
squeezed between the two.
Everything that is done to make
farming easier only contributes to raise
the price of land and force up the price
of food. so that neither the farmer
nor the consumer benefits. 4 protec-
tive tariff on farm products it at

ARMIsTICE DAY IS
OBSERVED IN VIROQUA

As is most fitting and proper, the
local American Legion saw to it that
Armistice Day was appropriately OBJ
served in this city. The large Ameri-
can flag and the Legion banner were
flung to the breeze in their accustom-
ed place on Main street, and the BUSH
ness houses and residences of the city
were gaily decorated with the ma
tional colors in grateful remembrance
of that eventful day four years ago,
November 18th, when the order came
to cease firing and closed the greatest
war the world has ever known.
One of the days features was the
parade of school children led by Mrs.
Sam Gross, with banners flying and
drums beating, the boys attired in
khaki and the girls dressed as nurses
or in the national colors.
In addition to appropriate moving
pictures shown at the Temple Theatre,
Postmaster w. N. Coffiand and Supt.
L.W Fulton delivered short addresses.
DR.. c. v. Porter was to have spoken
at this time of his travel over the
battle swept area of Europe, but that
morning the spirit of his life COM
panion passed into eternity, and the
passing of this good woman coming
so suddenly and on this particular day
when the gladstone spirit prevailed
seemed peculiarly sad.
In the evening, the Legion staged a
big public dance at the Opera House.
