REMEDIES FOR
RURAL TROUBLES
ARE SUGGESTED

Expansion in California special
crops seems to require remedy,
says Professor B. II. Crochcron. di-
rector Of Agricultural Extension
service in the University Of Cali
foruia who was Il recent visitor to
FL Centre.
Most people, however, don t
take remedies. he says. "until
they are very sick. They hope that
the weather will change and that
they will feel better tomorrow. Our
agriculture is not so sick but many
folks are merely "'enioying bad
health Some of them will have
to be very sick indeed before they
will seek any remedy whatsoever
Meanwhile, they are only complain
ing.
Professor Crochoron cites the four
remedies that have been suggested:
Decreasing production by reducing
acreage, decreasing competition
from abroad by tariff, expanding
markets 10y seeking new customers
or increasing the use by old custom
ers, and decreasing production costs
TO meet the lower price levels.
"Of one or another of these rem
edieS. : he says, "adVocateS abound.
Amongst them al the farmer is like
" TO be confused. He may be 50
bewildered by the noise that we will
think something or other is being
done. As matter of fact, it 5 most
lv talk and little medicine.
So far as cutting down the sup
ply is concerned. we haven't vet
found ANYBODY who is ready to CON
tribute to the public good by pulling
out his orchard or letting his vines
90 to wilderness. All the talk is
about someone else doing it. That
fellow. Mr.. Someone Else, hasn /
appeared vet.
To decrease competition through
tariff liars and other national bul-
warks requires congressional action
which is slow 1T best. Some Of us
are likely to starvc to death while
waiting for it.
Sound Remedy
"To expand oar markets requires
collective action through cooperat-
i've marketing associations or other
special agencies that may be set
Up. it is sound remedy and has
had past success. The difficulty
lies in the fact that it takes time,
faith and money. Many folks
haven t the faith and don want
to put in the time or money. We
viii probably have to be hurt worse
before We do anything more about
it than is our custom. We still eX-
pet cooperatives to do the impos,
sible: we want to grow anything
We please and have the co-ops mar
ket it at the high price level. For
this service we are willing, some
times. to pay Il small fee and It
grudging membership.
ITO decrease costs, through bet
ter methods, is required only knowl-
edge and ability. 1t lies within the
Individual power Of good farmers.
You don't have 10 wait for some
body else to DO it, not stall for col
lcctive action. It's hard old doe
trine: not everyone can apply II.
But for those who have the oPPor-
tunitv and ability, better farming
methods present the quickest ana
surest remedy.
