Raised Standard
Of Living. Means
Relief Increase

Providence, r. L., June 23-In-
creased giving for family relief dur
ING the past five years has been due
chlehy to q higher standard of living
on the part of recipients of relief.
Miss Florence Nesbitt, district SUI
pcrintendent, Chicago United Chart
lies, said today in an address before
the National Conference of Social
/ Work here. This higher standard,
according to Miss Nesbitt, was made
necessary by the growth in the move
rment for public health, and also the
movement for the recognition of the
right OF every normal child to a
home
The spread of mothers pensions
has marked the emphasis in the pub
lie mind of the right of child to
care in his own home if it can be
made fit through relief and service"
said Miss Nesbitt. There has come
to be fairly we'll established con-
ception that the child in home
wholly or partly supported by either
public or private relief should be fur
niShed with good shelter, adequate
food, proper clothing, wholesome rec
rnatlon, as much of the time of his
own mother as necessary for his care
and training and such education as
his natural aptitude fits him to re
ceiVe.
Instances Of mothers being forced
by inadequate relief to give away one
or more children in order to support
others, to put all or some of them in
| institutions or to do work for their
support that she cannot do without
neglect Of her own health or of them,
have decreased with the rise in the
standard Of relief. Mothers deserted
or left by the Imprisonment Of the
wage Garner without means of sup
port have been more often supported
III their own homes instead of being
provided with institutional care

SeIf-conta inment. Rome fell when the food supply was too far removed from
 the belly. Like her, we shall destroy
 our own agriculture and extend our
 sources of food distantly and precari-
 ously, if we do not see to it that our
 farmers are well and fairly paid for
 their services. The farm gives the
 nation men as well as food. Cities
 derive their vitality and are forever
 renewed from the country, but an inn
 poverished countryside exports intelli-
 gence and retains unintelligence.
 Only the lower grades of mentality and character will remain on, or seek, the farm, unless agriculture is capable of being pursued with contentment and adequate compensation. Hence, to em- bitter and impoveriSh the farmer Is to dry up and contaminate the vital sources of the nation.
 The war showed convincingly how dependent tEe nation is on the full productivity of the farms. Despite herculean efforts, agricultural produc- ton kept only a few weeks or months ahead of consumption, and that only by increasing the acreage of certain staple crops at the cost of reducing that of others. We ought not to for get that lesson when we ponder .on the farmers problems. They are truly problems, and there should be no attempt to deal with them as | if they were purely selfish demands | of clear-cut group, antagonistic to | the rest of the community. Rather | should we consider agriculture in the 1 light of broad national policy, just as we. consider. o.;. coal, steel, dye-sf etuffs, and SC forth. as Sinews of na-

Let us, then, consider some of the | farmers grievances, and see how far they are real In doing so, we should
 remember that, while there have been.
 and still are, instances of purposeful abuse, the subject should not be ap-
 preached with any general imputa ton
 to existing distributive agencies of de
 liberately intentional oppression, but
 rather with the conception that the
 marketing of farm products has not
 been mOdernfzed.
 An ancient evil, and a persistent
 one, is. the undergrading of farm prod
 ucts, with the result that what the
 farmers sell as of one quality is re
 sold as Of a higher. That this sort of
 chicanery should persist on any i'm portant scale in these days of busf- ness integrity would seem almost in credible, but there is much evidence that it does so persist. Even as I write, the newspapers announce the suspension of several firms from the New York Produce Exchange for ex- porting to Germany as No. 2 wheat a whole ship1oad of grossly inferior wheat mixed with oats, chaff and the like.
 Another evil is that of inaccurate weighing of farm products, which, it is charged, Is sometimes matter of dishonest intention and sometimes of protective policy on the part of the local buyer, who fears that he may weigh out" more than he weighs in''
 A greater grievance is that at pres ent the field farmer has little or no control over the time and conditions 1f marketing his products, with the result that he Is often underpaid for 1is products and usually overcharged Or marketing service. The differ .nce between what the farmer re- .eives and what the consumer pays 'ften exceeds all possibility of justi- icatfon. To cite a single illustration last year, according to figures attest d by the railways and the growers. Georgia watermelon-raiSers received n the average 7.5 cents for a melon, he railroads got 12.7 cents for carry ng it to Baltimore and the consumer aid one dollar, leaving 7oS cents for he service of marketing and its risks, s against POP cents for growing and

 from costly effort. This we need not
 expect from an impoverished or un-
 happy rural population
 It will not do to take narrow view
 of the rural discomfort, or to apprafSe
 1t from the standpoint of yesterday.
 This Is peculiarly an age of fux and
 change and new deals. Because

 means that it is righteous. or always

 before, there is a widespread feeling
 that all human relations can be i'm
 proved by taking thought, and that 1t
 Is not becoming for the reasoning anil
 nal to leave his destiny largely to chance and natural incidence.
 Prudent and orderly adjustment Of production and distribution in accord ance with consumption is recognized as wise mana agement in every business but that of farming. Yet, I venture to say, there is no other industry in which 1t is so important to the pub lic-to the city-dweller-that produc-
 
 creasing, and that distribution should be in proportion to the need. The un- organized farmers naturally act blind ly and impulsively and, in conSe- quence, surfeit and dearth, accompa- nied by disconcerting price-variatiOns, harass the consumer. One year pota- toes rot in the fields because of excess and there is a scarcity of | the things that have been displaced 1 to make way for the expansion of the potato acreage; next year the punish ed farmers mass their fields some other crop, and potatoes enter the class of luxuries; and so on.
 Agriculture is the greatest and fun the most important of our American industries. The cities are ,ut the branches of the tree of na- ional life, the roots of which go deep Y into the land. We all flourish or lecline with the farmer. So, when we if the cities read of the present uni Tersal distress of the farmers of lump of six billion dollars in the farm ralue of their crops in q single year.

The whole rural world Is in a fer
 ment of unrest, and there is an un-
 paralleled volume and intensity of de ominous swarming of Occupational con- ferences, interest groupings, political movements and propa ganda. Such a turmoil cannot but arrest our atten- tfon. Indeed, it demands our careful study and examination. It is not like ly that six million aloof and ruggedly independent men have come together and banded themselves into active unions, societies, farm bureaus, and so forth, for no sufficient cause.
 Investigation of the subject conclu- sively proves that, while there is much overstatement of grievances and mis- conception of remedies, the farmers are right in complaining of wrongs long endured, and right in holding that it is feasible to relieve their ills with benefit to the rest of the community. that contributes, in the raw material form done, about one-third of the tional annual wealth production and is the means of livelihood of about 49 per cent of the population, it is ob- yious that the subject is one of grave concern Not only do the farmers make up one-half of the nation, but the well-being of the other half de bends upon them.

PhOen1X, CD. Z4. An 1n- teresting study of cattle con- ditions in Arizona is contained in a special report which has just been submitted to Cover nor Campbell by Ed. w.
 Stephens, secretary of the Ari-
 zona State Live Stock Sanitary
 board.
 Detailed figures for the years
 1920 and 1921 show a decided
 falling off from the year 1919,
 both in the matter of shipments
 and the number of animals slaughtered in Arizona.
 In 1921 a total of 191,OS3
 head were shipped to points outside the state. This is a slight falling off from the num- Der handled in 1920 when 194,- 357 head were shipped. The totals for these two years show big drop in shipping activities from 1919, when the shipments totalled 262,788 head.
 A notable decline in slaueh- tering done in the state is also shown by comparative figures. L"SC year q COCdl O1 OO,OdO head of cattle was slauohtered in Arizona as compared to ST. 275 for the year 1920, and 1O4,6O6 for the year 1919.
 Considera ble more than 50 | per cent of the shipments were 1 to California last year, the total ! being 13O,751 head. Texas received the next largest ship ments, the total being IT, 386. About 7,5O0 head were shipped or driven into Mexico and about 5000 to Wyoming.
 Shipments ranging from D. 900 to 5000 head were made to Colorado, New Mexico, Mon- tana, Kansas, Utah, Nevada, Nebraska and South Dakota, and a few hundred head went to Missouri and Oklahoma.
 During last year shipments to all of the states with the excep- ton of California were less than in 1920. In 1920 about S4,- 900 head were shipped to Cal ifOrna as compared to about in 1921. The ship ments to Missouri, on the other hand, were nearly 11,OOO in 1920 and only 342 in 1921.
 Out of state shipments by counties were as follows:
