TOO MANY FARMING
Statistician Declares Agriculture
Overmanned One-fifth.

st. Paul-Putting reverse English
on the popular cry of Back to the
Soil," Roger w. Babson declared in
st. Paul that there are too many men
engaged in agriculture already and
what the industry needs most is to
lose about 20 per cent of its farmers.
Agriculture does not need more
legislation to increase its credit and to
get it far deeper into debt" he said.
This, together with the endeavor to
hold up the prices Of farm products,
only attracts more men to the farming
industry and there are too many OF
them now. The proper way for the
government to help the farmer would
be to say, here about 20 per cent OF
you fellows should get into some other
trade or some other line of business
and create some sort of an agency to
make i" possible for them to do so.'

the citizens Of our city may know who
are supporting this vicious and de.

EXCHANGE CLIPPING.

Car Shortage on X Line
Failure of the Great Northern rail-
road to furnish cars for stock ship
ments is causing much loss to farm
ers of Todd County, says the Long
Prairie Leader.
Tuesday of last week seven rail-
road cars of hogs from Long Prairie
were transported by truck to Swan
vile and shipped to the South St.
Paul market over the Northern Pa
eific. In addition, SO head of cattle
were driven across country to Swan
vile.
The Browerville farmers are fore
ed to transport stock from Brewer
vile to Philbrock, on the Northern
Pacific Clarissa farmers take their
stock to Staples and Bertha and He
witt farmers transport their stock to
Verndale. Eagle Bend farmers are
up against it, as they are too far
from a Northern Pacific point to
transport by truck.
All this causes great losses to the
, farmers and is contributing to the
depressed conditions generally
throughout the county.
Much less stock is being shipped
than the farmers want to ship. Many
hogs and steers that were ready for
the market five and six weeks ago
are being held back on the farms due
to the uncertainties of transporta-
ton. This means extra feeding feed
ing expense and a particularly I'M
fortunate thing about the delay is
that market prices have steadily de-
clined during the time the stock has
been held back from the market.
During the past few weeks. the
Long Prairie Shipping association
; has shipped fourteen cars from
Swanville, adding a heavy expense to
each shipment.
J There seem to be plenty of cars
on the Northern Pacific; in fact, the
Northern Pacific agents are soliciting
shipments in the Great Northern ter
ritory.
