Small Farmer Doomed

by Scott Nearing)

The economic pressure which i,
being put upon the small farmer is
steadily pushing him away from the
farm into the mine and the factory
The process of driving small far
mers from the farms is one of the
eldest and best established phases of
clvllatiOn. In Babylonia, Egypt and
Rome, the small herdsmen and far
mers were gradually replaced by
the great cattle dealers and the ow-
ner of large estates. The same prO-
cess is going forward with great ra-
pidity in the United States.
A century ago the farmer. like the
industrial worker of that day, owned
his own job, produced most of his
necessities, and was his own master
The rising land values, the introduce
ton of expensive machinery and the
very considerable increase in the cost
and values of farm equipment and
1--we stock have compelled the farmer
to- become a relatively heavy inves-
tor. The census of 1920 reports that
the average value per American farm
Is S3363 in 1870, and S12,O84 in 1920
With this rapid increase in value
comes the necessity on the part of
the poor farmer for borrowing mon
ey. The man who grows one crop.
such as wheat or corn has an income
)nly once year. If his crop fails.
.Wo years elapse between receipts of
income. In the meantime the farmer
must live, and in order to do SO he
'uys seed, fertilizer, machinery and
'thed necessaries on long term credit
II else ne mortgages his place.
The census eff 1920 reported 1926. /
0O farms owned by those who work
q them. Of this number PTS per cent
we're mOrtgaged in 1890 and 87.2 per
ent We're mOrtgaged in 1920. In !
Illinois the per cent mortgaged in |
9zO was 1875; in Iowa, 54.2; in
outh Dakota, 81 per cent.
Some study has been made of the
lumber of farmers who failed since
92O. The total fer Is states. as
wen IN Secretary Wallace's report

on, shows that 10 per cent of all
armers lost their farms in these

New York.-"It might have been
worse, but" This is the consensus
of opinion in labor and liberal circles
here as expressed to The Federated
Press on the appointment of Harlan
tIske Stone, corporation attorney, as
Y. 5. attorney general They are
suspicious of the official propaganda
to palm him eff as liberal" AS
a cultured gentleman" he can be
counted upon to avoid the crude
methods of Daugherty, which have
been resented as bad form bv Stones
legal and business associates in Wall
Street.
Stone is the same type Of liberal"
as that other New York lawyer, Sec
rotary Hughs, who is credited with
ms appointment. The unrestrained
giee expressed by Wall Street and
all the reactiOnary papers over his
approval by the senate judiciary COM
mlttee leaves no doubt that Stone is
sale from their point of view.
As a practicing attorney he has
oeen the servant of the wealthy in
terests. long as a member of the
Morgan firm, Satterlee, Garfield &
Stone, latterly with Sullivan, Cron-
Well d Co. He is distinctly one of
the capitalist group, commonly called
the invisible government.
Stone was one of Nicholas Murray

I years through bankruptcy and 10 3
+ per cent in addition were bankrunt
/ but were permitted to retain tbeir
farms through the Ieniencv of their
creditors. This means that during
CheSe tnree years more than one
forth OF all the farmers in the Unit
ed States We're. in a bankrupt condi
ton.
These disastrous economic farm
conditions reflect themselves in the
rapid increase in the number of farm
tenants in the United States. In
1880, the first year for which the
Facts were published, the total num-
Der OF tenants were 1,O24,OOO in
1871, 2,445,OO0. The percent of ten
ants for 1890 was 25.6, and in 1920.
The boss farmer is far from Sc
cure. He is producing for a competi-
i've market and buying in a highly
organized and monopolized market
furthermore, he is securing his cred
IL from one of the most powerful
banking organizations that the world
has ever known. He therefore foces
his choice: -
l. 10 stabilize his present position
by protective legislation and govern
ment credit. This is the attitude Of i
the conservative farm owner.
z: 10 buy and sell comparatively
with his fellOw-workers. This is q
liberal stand.
His real solution, however. lies

And-the minister concluded-"H
stuck to his soap and lost his soul!''
IL is a question of opinion as to
whether he lost his soul or not. Per
haps he was not in as much danger of
losing 1t as some of the less honest
men who make their living in SINH
lar ways and yet go into the church
without any qualms of conscience.
The point to be driven home is
that the present social system com
pels men to earn their living by dis
honest practices. Many men are in
Wardly troubled about it, but they
do not see any way out.
We invite such men to investigate
the Farmer Labor Party.
PHILOSOPHY
In the Farmer Labor Party they
will find a system that will put
premium on honesty-not dishones-
ty. They will find it to be a system
that will bring out all the good that
is in men-instead of bringing out
all the bad that is in them, as the
present system does. They will find
it to be a system under which it will

Jhnstian-which is actually impos-'
5ible now.
