products constitute large proportion
OF railroad traffic. The farmer would
have had no complaint whatever to
make If freight rates had been in
creased at the same time and in the
same proportion that wages were in
creased, if his prices had Zen permit
ted to vary in the same degree. His
grievance, as indicated by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace, is that there
was discrimination in Government
regulation and that the farmer was hit
at every turn.
"All this being true and unquestion-
able. Mr.. Wallace is sound in his as
sention that Federal aid is due agri-
culture. That aid, which the Govern
ment is no wgiving, is not class legis-
lation or class favoritism, but merely
an effort to remedy wrong which the
Government itself perpetrated."

POOR TRACTOR LUBRICATION
CAUSES OWNER MOST TROUBLE.

Lexington, Ky. - Faulty fabrication is
the source of trouble in the majority
of cases where farmers have been I'M
able to operate tractors to the best
advantage. farm engineering special
lists at the College of Agriculture be-
lieve. Faulty spark plugs and other
minor troubles can be corrected easily
with little or no damage to the ma
chine but when proper fabrication is
neglected, reduction in the lifetime
of the machine is almost sure to re-
suit, they say.
Included among the points which
they have outlined in a number of lu-
IRRIGATION suggestions are the follow
ing:
at is a good idea to keep lubricat-
ing oil, greases, buckets and tunnels
in clean, dust-proof cupboard since
they easily collect dust.
Use the kind and amount of oil
recommended by the manufacturer.
Extra attention should be given
the fabrication Of the engine while it
is new and stiff.
"Oil and grease on the outside of the
bearings are decided detriment, since
they easily collect grit and dirt. A
little oil in theright place is worth
many pounds placed carelessly.
TOO much lubricating oil causes
extra carbon and needless expense.
ION account of fuel passing the
piston rings, oil in the crank base OF
the engine becomes worthless and
must be removed. Such oil cannot be
sed again safely for the same pur-
pose.
"As a rule, lubricants that are low
est in original cost are the most ex-
nensiye for the tractor owner

FARMERS CHIEF VICTIME
OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Washington, D. C. - Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace is unquestionably
correct in his assertion that, Most of
the farmers troubles resulted from
Government regulation as war emer-
gency," declared the Republican Pub
lcity Association.
! 1T is true that deflation has been
world wide experience but sc far rs
the farmer has suffered more than
men Of other industries, his losses
have been due to the inequalities re-
sulting from Government regulation
during ana after the war.
IF all industries had enjoyed in
flation equally and had taken the
losses fdeflation at the same time
and in the same degree, there would
he no cause for complaint. The fact
of the matter is. however, as shown by
the records, that the Government with
held from the farmers some of the
profits of initiation and precipitated its
deflation program at the very moment
when 1t would be most injurious to
agricultural producers. 1t will be re-
membered that in an eort to encour-
age the production of food Congress
passed an act which was supposed to
guarantee a minimum price for wheat.
Under the administration Of that law
during the Wilson Administration, the
minimum price became maximum
Fprice, so that when other industries
enjoyed the profits of great initiation
the farmer was not permitted 10 do so
although he was still compelled to pay
the higher prices which initiation of
other industries established. Thus the
farmers profits during the war were
limited.
"At the same time that the Wilson
Administration was holding down the
prices the farmer could receive for his
produce, that same administration was
adopting cost-plus plans of having
construction work performed with the
result that wages were greatly en-
HANGED in the cities and the farmer
found it impossible to secure farm
help unless he paid wages on the Gov
ernments cost-plus basis. Thus the
Government increased the farmers ex-
penses at the same time that 1t curtail-
ed his receipts.
Moreover, the McAdoo management
of the railroads, after they were taken
over by the Government, loaded upon
the railroad vastly greater annual ex-
penditures. There would perhaps
have been no complaint of this If the
McAdoo regime had at the same time
increased the passenger and freight
rates to be collected by the railroads
so that their revenues would be in
creased in proportion to their ex-
penditures. This. Mr.. McAdoo did not
do, with the result that following the
war It became absolutely necessary to
increase freight and passenger rates
In order to make up In some measure
the revenues which the railroads were
uniustly denied at lifetime when the
Government increased their expenses,
This blow of larger freight rates fell
heavily upon the farmers, for farm

six pounds for quarter.
Watermelons are not very gem
