TESTS IN STATE
HELP TO farmer
Use of Tractor and Time-Sav-
ing Equipment Said to be
Necessary in Present
Times.

CHICAGO, MA reason for the
marked increase In high speed farming
:r the United States was given by Guy
II. Hall. director Of the National Insti-
tute of Progressive Farming, as the
result of q study OF figures from the
Central Experimental Farm Of the Do
minion of Canada and Of the Oklahoma
experiment station.
The necessity for the use OF tract.
ors and other time.savng implements
may be understood from these figures
when it is observed that a months
delay in plowing seed will cut the
wheat crop in half. and barley and oats
nearly as much" said Mr.. Hall I'm
other words, stubble fields should be
| plowed and prepared Tor seed imme'
diately grain is off. And this emer-
gency comes at the very time when
the other farm work is at the peak.
The farmer must do everything al
once. as it were, and the only way he
can do 1t is with the most modern
mechanical aids"
At the Oklahoma station, according
10 Mr.. Hall. plowing was done at three
different dates: July 10, when the
ground was IN the proper state OF moist
ure; August 10, when II was hard and
lumpy; September IL. when It was dry
and cloddy. Each plot was seized Sep.
tcmber 10. The yields were July 10.
Sl.3 bushels of wheat; August Is. 235
bushels; September IL. 1873 bushels
The station concludes early plowng
for wheat is profitable and if wheel
follows oats, the soil should be plowed
Immediately after the oat crop is harv'
ested

Farmer Is Victim OF Wrong
System, Says James Patten
Sweeing Changes are Need
ed to Correct Evils That
Exist at Present Time,
Chicago Wheat King Says
by Roy Gibbons.

CHICAGO--l"The American farmer
Is being crushed by a labor system
that permits part Of the people to fix
their own wages. while the agricultur-
alist's reward is fixed by competitive
conditions"
This is the opinion of James A. Pat.
ten. multmilionaire wheat king OF Chi
cago, given in an interview with NEA
Service in which he discussed the
iuct that the farmers dollar has shrunk
to II per cent of it's former value
The drop is due 10 the decreased price
of farm commodities as compared 10
what he buys
Patten for years has been a keen
student Of agricultural conditions. and
his Views are accepted as authoritative
by students of the subject.
II am asked where the farmer IL
headed for and what solution there is
for his present situation Patten said
"ln reply answer. the farmer is not
headed anywhere-he has already ar
rived. His trouble is fundamental and
II cannot he cured by local appllca--
tons.
Wages Reduced.
Crops represent the wages OF the
farmer. He gets so many bushels OF
wheat for his years labor. The ex-
change value of the wheat measured In
terms of the products Of other labor
represents the farmers reward.
'If his products will now exchange,
for only II per cent Of what they ex-
changed for in 1913, as shown by gov
ernment reports, then his wages have
been reduced by that much.
when economic factors have free
play, the reward for one form of labor
when measured in the products OF an
other form OF labor. will bear an equi-
table relation to the amount OF human
effort involved in each production.
THE fundamental difficulty now is
that the price of the farmers products
Is fixed by free competition. In the
case of wheat, by world competition.
Fixed Artlficially.
''On the other hand, the price OF
what the farmer has 10 buy is determ
ined by the wages paid in its produc
ton, and these wages are not fixed
in free competition. but are artificially
established.
''rhe farmer therefore, is the chiei
victim of situation In which one class
of labor Is subsidized by wages main
tanned at an artificial level. and an
other class which has its wage determ
fred by free competition.
''In the end, economic law will force
correction by Turing men out OF The
low-paid occupations into subsidized oc
cupations until food scarcity restore.
the balance.
Human society cannot be maintain
ed permanently upon the basis of hal
competition and half subsidy. No leg
islation. tariff. financial or other. car
reach out and cure this situation. Their
can be no cure until we give up ou
attempts at partial socialism and ac
cord free play TO economic law"
