a few sentences that touch directly
upon the agricultural situation in the
years mentioned, we quote from Mr..
Meyer: In 1920, just as the farmer
was beginning to harvest his crops,
the price of farm products, and with
it the purchasing power of the farmer,
declined abruptly The COL
lapse of 1920 was due, in no small
measure, to the pressure upon the
agricultural producer and the stock
man to iquidate loans in a shorter
time than was necessary to market
his output in an orderly manner. The
prices received by the farmer for his
products under forced liquidation and
hasty selling impaired his buying
power. Early in 1921, the
Congress decided, in the face Of oppo-
sition on the part of the late admins
tration, that something ought to be
done, and revived the War Finance
Corporation as a piece Of emergency
machinery.
"Those facts are matter of rec
ord. The War Finance Corporation
got busy without a days delay and
began providing credits and giving as
surances of more. Agriculture began
to revive out Of all proportion to the
amount of loans actually made-the
revival being due in large part to the
knowledge that the farmers could get
credit.
"This reminds us Of an incident
during the panic of 1898, when there
was great run on banks. In small
town where there were two banks,
there was run on the smaller insti-
tition and a crowd of depositors JAM
med the entrance trying to get their
money. While the rush was at it's
height, the president of the rival bank
behind the crowd and beck
oned to the head of the bank that was
being raided. The latter got as close
to the door as he could and the bank
err on the outside shouted, How are
things going, John? If you need any
let me know and I'll send it
over.' With that information, depos-
itors were satisfied and dispersed.
"That was practically what happen
ed to the farmers. Uncle Sam, seeing
the pressure that was brought to bear
upon the agricultural producers, call
ed out, How are things going, Mr..
Farmer? If you need any money, let
me know and I'll send it oer.' And |
when the creditors of the farmers saw
that the money would be forthcoming,
they let up on the pressure. Uncle
Sam did furnish considerable loans, on
good security but the benefits were
far in excess of the actual advances in
cash. The Democratic administration
had brought pressure to bear upon the
farmers, and the Republican admins
tration relieved the pressure. Mr..
Meyer does not state the facts so di- !
rectly as that, but the record shows
that to be, in the main, the true story
of the agricultural depression and re-
vival".

A Way Out
Now, brother farmer, let's see if
there is any way to outgeneral that
fellow in the east. If you never play
ed checkers you better start now and
have game with all the members of
your family. The mother first, be-
cause she has a harder job than the
father. This you can do in the long
winter nights when the children are
home from school. Now let us make
a move with the checker for the king
row. We will lose some men before
we make the king row, but here goes.
We have the best soil in the United
States. We can raise good alfalfa,
good sweet clover, always mature
anod Gehue corn and nine times out
of ten mature some early varieties of
dent corn. Then raise hogs, cattle and
sheep, fence your farms into twenty
and forty acre fields. Turn your hogs
into the Gehue corn first as that vari-
ETY. will mature first. Then turn them
into the later varieties and by Christ
mas they will weigh two hundred
pounds and better. Sell them and do
not feed through the cold winter
months. Follow up with your sheep
as you turn your hogs from one field
to the other. The sheep will get all
the hogs leave. The hogs will live and
do we'll on Alfalfa or Sweet Clover in
the summer till the corn natures.
Sheep will do we'll on feed that other
stock will starve on. The wool off the
sleeps back will be ready for mar
ket in June-at time when money
comes in mighty handy, and the wool
will always pay for the keep Of the
sheep. If you are a good shepherd,
the lambs will be clear velvet. Milk
some cows but you must be good to
