TIME FOR SMALL
TOWNS TO FIGHT


All small towns In the United states
should protest TO the government a
gainst the recommendation OF Post
master General Hays that mail deliv-
cries be abandoned In some $50 towns
having less than 10000 population.
INSTEAD OF ABANDONING MAIL
DELIVERY IN A SINGLE VILLAGE,
THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE Ex.
TENDED.
Mail delivery is one OF the most im-
portant seryices--if not the most lm-
portant serylce-that government can
render to n community This IL No
strongly recognized In the citiea and
large towns that the people OF those
places are constantly demanding more
letter carriers and speedier facilities
at stations for handling their mail In
fact nobody In the postal department
even dreams Of reducing the system In
the larger places
WHY SHOULD THE PEOPLE or
THE SMALL. TOWNS BE PICKED
ON TO SUFFER-
n government once starts this thing
of abandoninb the little service Il now
gives small communities there IL no
telling where IL will end. II 7b2 towns
can be ruthiessiy deprived OF letter
delivery in one big lump, Il will be
easy enough TO pick larger places, one
by one, and drop them from the sys-
tenn.
All American towns OF less than TO-
600 population ought TO raise a tre-
mendous fuss about this matter right
away and never lei up until the gov
eminent adopts a direct opposite poll
icy--a policy OF extension OF service
rather than Abandonment OF any SER

or made without the full knowledge
Of all facts. available, I asked this
young man to take little more time
before deciding and to spend the fore
noon interviewing men in town In the
line of business which he was think
ing of, so that he might get inside in
formation from them as to their ups
and downs, their difficulties as we'll as
their successes.
He left still undecided. In the aft
ernoon he came back and I knew the
minute he stepped into the Office that
his decision had been made
"Have you decided?" said l. en-
deed I have" said he. II have de-
cided to remain in the agricultural
course and to make agriculture my
life's profession" what made you
reach that decision finally?' 1 asked.
They told me downtown" said he,
that there are ups and downs in all
lines of work and in all business just
as in agriculture and they advised
me to select for my life's work what
l thought would like best in the
long run"
Typical of Many Farmers.
The case Of this young man is typ
ical of the condition of many farmers
today. "Shall we keep on in our

versif1cation has been manifested in
the Palouse by increasing the acre
age put in clover, alfalfa and pota-
toes and by the purchase of dairy
COWS; in the irrigated section by at
tempts to feed the hay produced to
sheep and cattle and by increasing
stress on hogs and in western Wash
ington by increasing the poultry and
dairy cattle on many farms where a
small number have been kept here
tofore or by reduction on other
farms where there have been too
many in the herds and f1ocks for the
feed available
But even more than this many have
given much more careful attention
than ever before to improvements in
the general quality of their farming
operations. Some there are who have
argued whats the use? Prices are
SO low anyway that it makes little
difference whether we grow heavy
crops, get many gallons Of milk or a
lot of eggs. The more we farmers
raise the less we seem to get. What
does 1t matter If my COWS are poor
and If the chickens don't lay? Over
production is what hurts me and why
should I continue to add to the sup
ply and further reduce the price?"
The majority, however, have real
lied that this is not the constructive
way of looking at things nor is it in
accord with the best judgment. They
understand that every Individual who
can grow large crops per acre, pro-
duce more than the average milk per
cow and a larger number of eggs per
hen than the average and yet does
not do it, suffers in consequence. The
production on an individual farm
whether large or small has no infu-
ence on the general price for farm
products.
No Influence on General Markets.
The sproduction OF all the farms in
a community may influence somewhat
the price of the local market provided
the market is a consumer Of these
products but 1t has no influence on
the general markets. The production
of any one crop or product for the
state such as, wheat, milk or eggs un-
less 1t constitutes very large per-
centage of the production Of the en-
tire country likewise has very little
effect on the price. AS evidence of
this might be cited the wheat situa
ton in our state today. While the
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1922-12-08

that bureau THE quantity of farm
products that would purchase $500
worth Of other things in 1913 will now
buy $64 WORTH If this condition
were reversed and the quantity Of
farm products that would purchase
$64 worth of other goods in 1918
would purchase 500 worth today one
cannot help but wonder If there would
not be rapid drift from other work
into farming, with land prices again
booming, with keen competition for
farms to rent and. incidentally great
hue and cry on the part of many not
in farming for more rapid readjust-
ment of value along all lines than we
have today
Indeed, to bear up under the eco
nomic pressure 1t has been necessary
for the farmer in many instances to
lower his plane of living or to live
on capital account. In addition, he
has been doing his best to readjust
his farming operations In such way
as to make his own labor and that of
his family go as far as possible and
thus reduce the amount of labor hired
He has also attempted to diversity
his operations both to economic la
Dor and to bring income from a num-
Der of sources rather than from one
or two.

One of the students in the College
Of Agriculture came into my office the
other day and said he wanted to
change from agriculture to another
course. "All right" said l, "but be-
fore we make the change let us an
alyze the situation bit. Don't you
like agriculture?' Certainly l do"
he answered. II am just as interest
ed In it as l can be, not in all the
studies of course, but in most of
them" Then why are you planning
to changer" said l. ,There doesn't
seem to be any money in agriculture
now" was his answer, "and I don't
like to think of whole life spent in
work in which there is not much re-
turn"
We then talked over the general
farming situation as it is today, real
izing fully that for the last two years
there has been no money in farming
except in Individual cases hero or
there where exceptional ability has
been used, where some specially has
been grown or where some conlmu-
nifty has been particularly favored as
to location, unusual yield or special
markets. We also analysed and dis
cussed the ups and downs Of farming
and this brought us to the conclusion
that the returns to agriculture at pres
emit are at the bottom Of the curve
but cannot long stay there, If our
country is to endure.
Discussed What Davenport Said.
We discussed what Dean Daven-
port Of the University of Illinois re-
Gently said: UNLESS our country
goes completely to the bow-wows like
Russia-and no sane man can think
1t Wilt must have a successful ag
riculture II the country holds, then
it must have an agriculture, and it is
worth ones while to be a part Of it.
Some. unfortunately, cannot hang on
until matters right themselves but for
the usual young man who is not afraid
of work and who is willing and able
to wait, not q month or year but
wait with faith, believing-to such
one it is a good time now to go into
agriculture"
Approaching that the decision as
to ones life work often is a momen-
tous one for the Individual and that
1t never should be carelessly made

present work." is their question. In
deed Can we keep on?" is the ques-
ton asked by many of them. Would
it not be better to sell the farm, the
stock, the equipment and take up
some other work for which larger re-
turns can be expected? 1t Is vital
problem and many not toe closely
tied down to their acres already have
changed. One need not be in the
least surprised at this at a time when
the purchasing power of the farmer
is as low as it is today. According to
the bureau of agricultural economics
Of the u. s. department of agricul-
ture, the purchasing power Of the
farmers goods is only "a per cent of
what it was in 1913. In the words of
