SOLVENTS FOR AGRICULTURE
Ills

After an extensive tour OF the
Ninth district, John X. MITCHELL
member of the Federal Reserve
board, is even more strongly of the
opinion than before that diversified
farming is the major solvent OF the
problem of the farmers OF the
Northwest. With a better balanced
use of farm acres there should go.
in Mr. Mitch,ll's judgment, an en-
lightencd limitation OF the pro-
ductiOn of agricultural commodl-
ties.
in the matter of output, MI.
Mitchell points out as an object
lesson to farmers the policies that
are pursued in the manufacturing
world. Factory production Is reg
ulated with calculated regard for
the absorptive powers Of the mar
kct for the particular kind OF .N)Jds
under consideration. Output is re
dlIccd when there are evidences OF
surplus.
Mr.. Mitchell believes the day has
arrived when American farmers
should produce only enough wheat
for domestic needs. TO arrive on
that basis would require a % per
cent reduction of the farm output
of wheat. With home production
and home consumption running
along al a virtual parity, the farm
CT would not have to reckon Win
the surplus crop which. brought in
to competition with foreign wheat
in foreign markets OftentlmeS
works harm to the interest OF the
American farmer.
Diversified farming is something
the individual farmer can under
take with measurable profit on
| his own account. 1t is an economic
weapon he has ready at hand. To
make the most Of it he may need,
| in many instances, an extension oi
credit, and he must have depend
able data on production in relation
to demand, but even without this
credit and these data, he can wise
| ly praticc diversified use OF hi
lands on the old familiar thcor!
that it is not we'll to have all the
eggs in one basket.
If Mr.. Mitchell's counsel is sounl
| regarding an accommodation of the
| production of wheat to home needs
1t would be hard to give more un'
sound counsel than that which is
implied in Senator Gooding ) pro
pOsal that the government fix thu
! basic price of wheat at $1.75 ;
bushel. Who could think of any
thing that could do more towart
over-stimulating wheat production
except Il higher price than tina
named?
Mr.. Mitchell believes that co
operative marketing must be car
ried out on an extensive scale I,
serve Il real and enduring good tt
the farmer. Localized cO-operativ,
marketing of crop like whea
would hardly be worth while. TIL
best judgment is that the working
arrangement must be on a commO
dity basis and that it must lie o
geographic scope broad enough t
comprehend all the important pro
ducing territory Of the country. II
reach common ground of that kin
is thing that cannot be accom-
plished in hurry. Oversize
farming can stand well on its owl
merits as remedy for agriculture
ills. 1t is real "playing safe
policy, and it conserves soil fer
tility. This latter is a factor o
the utmost Importance in Amer
lean farm economy. - Minneapoli

THAT OLD BOB
Bismarck, Apr. 10, 49,

Bismarck, apr. III, 1875
Editor Tribune;
Do you rccollect the old bob sled
we had when we were kids? Re-
member how swiftly we rode and
everyone aboard yelling track"
like pack of Indians in a war
dance? We knew the bigger the bob
the easier she rode and the bigger
the crowd, the faster she went.
Isn't that like city. The COM
munity chest, Association of Com
mcrce or any other organization
Couldn't this city go forward faster
with Il larger crowd of fellows yell
ing their heads off for the old town
and boosting her along? If Bis
marck did this she would set pace
so fast that no town could come
just kids in long pants. And some of
wouldn't every booster get lot of
fun out of it at the same time?
There are a lot of fellows in this
town who are too timid to ask for a
ride, and are just watching the ac-
tivities come and go. Maybe the
Association of Commerce reached
some of these men, but many arc on
the sidelincs, watching the game,
contributing nothing to its progress.
Do you remember the motto
painted on the seat of the bob?
"To ride is fun, to pull is hell;
If you want to ride, pull as WE'LL
And how the gang" fought for a
place on the bob at the top of the
hill? And the thrill you got with
every bump? And if you were the
tail ender how you held on to the
board for dear life. And say, wasn't
it funny when you got to the bottom
of the hill, how many of the fellows
shyed off from "pullin'" her back
up the hill again?
Really, time doesn't work miracles
or changes in US, after all. We're
just kids in long pant. And some of
us get lot Of fun out of life in
Bismarck by. just "ridip'" and leav-
ing the "pushin' and "pullin' to
the other fellow. Listen, men and
women of this city. That isn't just
fair, is it? Don't you think we'd
get more rides and faster ones il
we all helped to push snd pull, 8
little? And it won't hurt to give il
| try.
We trusted our lives to the man
who stecred the bob. It's the same
way in any organization, civic, politi-
cal, or religious, and in nearly every
instance we had hand in. electine

in making these things q success.
which are for the interest of oul
city. You realize it's hard on ones
