the same as the farmer, yet business
came through in way that is far
ahead of the farmer. This has been
brought about through industrial
efficiency. through improvement OF
methods. They have increased labor
output per unit to the degree the costs
of production have actually been re
duced by better methods of carrying
on work Industrial enterprises on q
large scale are spending millions op
research. In ten years automobile
output per worker has increased 172
per cent, tires 211 per cent, oil So
per cent, cement 81 per cent
Compare that with others. The
packers have increased only q pei
cent, sugar refining % per cent, boots
and shoes only per cent. There has
been an increase in agriculture since
1913 of 90 per cent 1t is doubtful that
business has any such opportunity as
exists in agriculture to reduce cost
of production through improved meth
DDS. Take corn,-Iowa shows varia-
ton in cost of production from fifteen
cents to seventy-five cents a bushel In
Illinois the cost of producing corn on
80 acre fields was reduced from fifty
two cents to twenty cents bushel
The manufacturer who had it within
his power to reduce production costs
from fifty-two to thirty cents per unit
would be tickled to death with the
opportunity of meeting competition
under these conditions.
"The way out for the farmer Is ~

THE FARMERS BEST WAY OUT

Dean Russell of Wisconsin College
Of Agriculture says: 1.-TWO things
have hit the farmer hard but the
same things have hit business. They
are increase in cost of production
and decline in prices which latter
has been more drastic in farm pro
ducts than manufactured products
The farmers political friends say
salvation can be found through legis,
lation. Our legislative doctors pro
pose price control. The difficulty
with this is price control always
means price elevation which always
produces expansion in production and
II this occurs without expansion in
consumption you have inevitable de-
cline in prices. The remedy works to
produce the very opposite result
from that intended.
Another legislative panacea would
make it easier to borrow, as if run
ming into debt was the solution of the
difficulty There are farmers who
wish it had not been quite so easy to
borrow because the inevitable day
comes when they have to pay princi
pal and interest. The third legisla
tive remedy would make easier the
pathway for cooperative endeavor
AL you have to do is to wave the
magic wand Cooperation and all the
farmers difficulties will Immediately
disappear. | wonder If there is any
government that can make people CO.
operate The success of cooperative
effort will lie in organization from the
bottom up rather than from the top
down and it will take decade or two
for the results to be felt
"The farmers have at hand a
remedy that can be utilized i'm.
mediately with the definite knowledge
that it will secure far better results.

day business methods they will have
