whether he will dispose of one
team, employ less labor and plow
and seed fewer acres in 1923 or
whether he will continue as in the
past, President Harding'S warn
ing" to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Again the writer says, "Agri-
cultural products are essential to
life, and to limit the supply for
the purpose of profting on the
resulting demand would be to
traffic in human life.
No one is in better position to
warn the farmer against such 4
course than the Executive for
he has proved himself their un-
wavering champion, etc.-there-
fore the Presidents warning is
to be accepted as the utteranee OF
a friend. But being representa-
tive of the people the admins
tration would not be true to it
self or to the nation if it did not
stand against the deliberate re-
striction Of agricultural produc-
ton
The Executive and the Post
must think that American farm
.ers are one great benevolent asso-
cation, blowing, sowing, reaplng'
threshing, through shine and
shower, through heat and cold
from Monday mornings rising
sun till Saturdays dewy eve Tor
hfty-two weeks in the year just
for the fun of the thing, or that
they may see their fellow-man
eat, drink and be merry at their
expense. Has not the American
Farmer as much right to restrict
his production, if it will thereby
give him pleasurable and proilt-
able employment, and that he may
thereby draw some dividend on
the money and labor invested as
has the manufacturer of his Plows
his wagons and his reapers' to
cut his force and restrict his pro-
duction when his manufacturing
plant is running at loss
Has it come to pass that the
President OF these United States
can tell the farmer that he mus
plant so many acres OF corn or
wheat or oats, that he must raise
so many hogs or sheep or cattle
or the farmers wife that she must
keep so many hens and these must
produce so many eggs or Sh@
make so many pounds Of butter
When 1--WE, the people OF these
United States have delegated to
the Chief Executive the power to
command Mr.. Rockefeller to pro-
(uce so much kerosene and Saso-
line; Mr.. Ford to manufacture
so many flivvers; The Interna-
tional Harvester Company to put
out such a number OF binders, and
mowers. and all the other great

carnations of the nation, each and
every one of them to produce SO
many and SO much: then, and nor
till then. should he warn the farm
er that he must not cut down his
acreage of grain and fruit and
vegetables and fruit or diminish
the size OF his flocks and herds.
But anyone who reads The
Post regularly need not be sur
prised that it should commend
the Chief Executive for this

BIC DECREASE IN
EXPENDITURES Of
COUNTY ENGINEER

Showing a decrease of SIS, 9,S21.s1, or
more than 100 per cent from the ex-
penditures of the year before, the
annual report of the county engineer
for the year 1921 was filed yesterday
with the board of supervisors by
Walter d. Haugh, assistant to the
county engineer. The report, which
shows a total expenditure of ST.
50042 for lie year. was compiled by
Mr.. Haugh. The office of county en-
gineer is at present vacant, due to
the death of Harry e. Vernon, county
engineer, on Jan. 2. His successor
has not yet been appointed by me
board.
One reason for the large decrease
in the amount spent by the county
engineer for the year 1921 from the
expenditures of the year before is at
tributed to the laying of hard surface
on more than 100 miles of the prin-
cipal county roads. During the year
1921 but very little work was done
on the roads that were in the first
paving program. The report is as
