Protection for Agriculture Needed by
All interests
(Whceling Intclligencer-West Nir-
ginial

(Nhcellng lnteli1genCer-Nc est \ II
ginia)
The most significant feature in the
new tariff bill, as perfected by the
conference committee of the House
and the Senate, is the liberal measure
of protection that it affords to farm
products. 1t may be said, in fact,
that this is the first tariff bill in
which protection to agriculture has
been one of the principal cOnsidera-
tons. Naturally, tariff legislation,
in the past, has taken the form Of
protection to manufacturing in eX-
cess Of protection to agriculture. In
the carly days Of the last century we
had vast undcveloped areas Of virgin
farmland, and the growing of food
products needed no stimulation or
Legislative defense. On the other
land, we were without manufacturers
in many lines. and the large majority
or our industries, such as they were,
lahored under disadvantages from
lack of capital, manufacturing cX-
rorience and transportation facilities.
Il was natural, therefore, that, in
those early DAYS, the principal con-
sideration should be given to the de-
yclopment Of industry, and this con-
tinuCd to be the rule throughout
practically all the years of the last
century when tariff bills were being
drawn and tariff changes were being
made.
We have now definitely passed into
new era, an era in which the stimu-
lation of agriculture, the assurance of
profitable conditions upon the farms,
and the maintenance Of the American
market for the benefit of the Amer-
can farmer will be prime objects Of
our legislation. The new tariff bill
definitely recognizes this fact. 1t
imposes such protective duties on
agricultural products as from
One and a half to cents a pound
on cattle.
Sheep and goats, So a head.
Hogs, onc-half a cont per pound.
Bacon, ham and shoulder, cents
Ter pound.
Wool. 81 cents pcr pound.
Wheat, 50 cents bushel.
Apples, % cents a bushel.
Potatoes. so cents per cWt.
Eggs, s cents a dozen.
And so on through a long list Of
food articles which make up the ma
jorty of the products Of our farms
and gardens.
The census of 1920 showed that, for
the first time in the history of this
country. the city and village popula-
ton exceeded the farm population.
Every working farmer in the United
to Is people. and the farms in this
country hereafter must increase in
nroductiveness. must yield more to
the acre, and must be more inten-
sivcly cultivated. This means costlier
farming, and this necessarily means,
in the long run. intensive efforts for
the development of agriculture. In
the new protective bill, the Rcpuhli-
can leadership at Washington has
taken a long step in this direction.
II proposes to insure the American
market to the American farmer; to
guarantee him substantial prices, so
far as the demands and the needs Of
great and prosperous country can
furnish such guarantees.
That country has begun to decay
in which agriculture is weakened or
destroyed The foundations of our
state rest upon our farms and fields
