ALL IN THE SAME BOAT

Whatever may happen to the coal
miners and the railroad workers in
their campaign against reducted
wages, it is apparent that the farm
laborcr has been pretty we'll debated.
Under present conditions farmers
cannot afford to pay, and will not
pay for hired help, anything APP
preaching the sums paid to organ
lied labor in the industries. This is
hard for the hired men, and in the
end will be hard for men IN the cities.
30 combination Of labor groups will
be able to resist the necessity Of equal
ling the costs of production between
agriculture and manufacture. You
may have cheap bread and expensive
shoes for yea ror two, but you can
not have them forever. 1t will be
cheap bread and cheau shoes, or dear
bread and dear shoes, when the re-
adjustment is over. The logical thing
and the hest thing will be to have
both bread and shoes reasonably
priced and produced under conditions
that will give farmer and business
a living wage and a fair profit. 10

'epigram, we must all prosper to-
gethcr or suffer poverty separately

The National Gamers Association,
discussing relations with the grower,
makes this statement: 1T is probably
correct to say that the average yields
are never profitable. The average
wheat yield of some Is or IA bushels
per acre, the average corn yield in
the corn belt Of 81 or 35 bushels per
acre. are seldom if ever profitable. :"
That is what the Gamers say. Now,
why shorld this preposterous state
ment be taken as true? Is the average
canning factory improbable? Is the
average store money-losinG venture!
Is the average lawyer unable to make
living? Of course not. The average
may not make a brilliant success, in
any walk of life, but he expects to
get along average we'll" 1t is ridl-
! culous to say that a farmer must
be sort Of superman in order to keep
from losing money. The whole world
is made up Of average folks, and
nothing is more tiresome than the
line Of reasoning that insists that the
farmer should be 100 per cent. per
! feet before he can expect to make q
decent living.-Farm Life.

RETTER PROSPECTS FOR KING
CORN

Corn is indeed the king of the
crops. It is produced successfully
anywhere between the Canadian Dor
der and the Rio Grande. In North
Dolota last year there were at least
three counties where corn club men,
bers reported yields in excess Of rs
bushels to the acre, and though we
have no figures Immediately available
it would seem reasonable to think
the hundred-bushel mark might be hit,
under favorable conditions, in every
state in the Union. Corn enthusiasts
have 4 basis for their belief that an
acre of corn will produce more feed
and better feed than an acre Of any
other crop known. Corn is easy to
plant and to cultivate. 1t resists
drought. It is both forage and grain
and nearly all animals love it and
thrive on it. onsireiHs these things
it is easy to see why the slump in the
price of corn, bringing it below the
cost of production. is a serious thing
10 the business Of the nation. The
production of plenty ought not to be
calamity. 1t ought to be blessing
If it. were possible to think of wealth
in terms of labor and commodities in,
stead Of in terms of money, nobody
would imagine that he could enrich
himself by making his product scarce
1t will not be easy to greatly restrict
the corn ackerage, because it is the
natural crop in rotation for million:
of farmers. The one hopeful thing j:
the belief that the increasing for
eign demand, the big home consump
ton, and the certainty that there
will be at least some ackerage reduc
ton, will combine to bring about {
substantial increase in price before
the crop of 1922 comes on the mar
ket. The cost of production has beer
lowered, at all events, and the corr
grower has probably seen his dark
est hour.-Farln Life.

ISSUE BONDS FOR BONUS

We believe that nine-tenths Of the
farmers of the country would prefer
to have the proposed bonus for the
worlds war veterans taken care OF
by a bond issue, rather than by adj
ditional taxes. II does not seem either
wise or necessary to put too much OF
the burden Of the war upon the pre-
sent generation. Long time bonds,
at low rate Of interest, for the pur-
pose of paying the bonus, could be
sold. They might temporarily de-
press the price Of the Liberty bonds,
and of other securities, but even that
would be less hardship and less dis
turbing TO business than an increase
in taxes, either direct or indirect
Without doubt a majority of the far
mers agree that the bonus IS a just
recompense to the boys who went in
to the service. But farmers arc I'M
animous in objecting to additional
taxes. They do not even want to
see business, or incomes, or corpor-
ations further burdened by tax lev
les. They strongly object to sales
taxes or increase in first and second
class postal rates, because they know
the payment intimately falls upon
the whole people. IF the members
CT the House and Senate could only
realize just how char dboiled" people
are becoming over the tax question
they would turn resolutely away from
the temptation to increase the tax
burden for any purpose whatsoever.

CABBAGE is PROFITABLE.
Mccormick County Farmer Makes
Good Money Without Cotton.

Mccormick county does not pro-
pose to be worsted by the boil weevll,
relates a Mccormick special to the
Greeville News. In that neck of the
woods they used to plant a farm in
cotton and a patch" of cabbage;
but C. E. Wilkie, who lives four miles
from the town of Mccormick on the
Plum Branch road has planted his
farm in truck this year and only a
patch" OF cotton. He brought to the
city of Abbeville today a ton of the
finest cabbage. They were packed in
jute bagging and sold to the mer-
chants by the pound. He uses large
motor truck for travel and an oil
cloth cover as a protection from the
weather. From 3 1-2 acres planted
in cabbage he has sold to date $500
AMI expects to make $500 clear profit
on this one crop alone. He learned to
grow cabbage in North Carolina NOV
ing to Mccormick from near Hender-
sonville several years ago and in
partnership with brother bought
this 54-acre farm on which he is
making such a success of farming un-
der boil weevil conditions.
~ Mr.. Wilkie has two and half
acres planted in fall Irish potatoes,
the Lookout Mountain variety, and
will make about 200 bushels to the
acre. Some of these will sell as low
at $3.50 a bushel, while others will
bring as high as $3.50, which should
net him $1,000 on his fall potato
crop. He has also beans and other
truck in proportion, having sold 400
pounds of beans on one trip to Green
wood a few days ago.
Everything made is practically
clear profit, as he hires only one wage
hand, keeps a pair of mules and three
COWS, and makes all the feed for the
stock, and all meat, -four and general
rations for the family at home. So,
incidentally, there are more gold
mines in Mccormick county than the
old Dorm mine, if the owners would
only get busy and dig the gold out of
the ground.
Being questioned as to the finest
production on his farm he was abso-
lutely right when he replied: "My
six children, the oldest Of whom is
12." There you have world Of truth
in a few words.
