FARMING IN NEW ENGLAND

That was a sorrowful picture which Clifford F, Huck, general manager of the Connecticut Milk Producers Association, painted of Connecticut farms. Average Nutmeg farmers, he said, are not doing more than paying the interest, taxes. In surance and part Of the repairs. When the buildings rot and fall down and the farmer has no money to rebuild, he goes 10 work in fac tory and another farm becomes a nas-once.

If what MT. Huck says is true and we have no doubt of that-the situation is one worthy Of the most painstaking study by every economist in New England,
 If New England's remaining farms are to be gradually decimated by the relentless force of economics. then the food bill of those living in the towns will 30 up and up until the cost of living in New England will be too high for industry tQ bear,
 New England without farms a all would be devastating blow at New England industry.

 He stood there long time, obvi- ously having slipped the operators mind. Seated at her station she was busily engaged in pushing in plugs, pulling them out ,reciting numbers, making change for patrons and de- claring at intervals, "The liyen is hizeh." Such an example of organ ized efficiency was she that the meek gentleman palpably lacked deter animation enough to recall himself to her attention. l had about given up hope that he would take his own part when she caught sight of him over the switchboard.

IMPROVEMENTS VS. THE TAX
 RATE

The thoughtful citizen of late must have been sorely perplexed at the variety of advice dispensed regard ing what should be done to make a better city-one with more charac- ter which would cost money while other groups subscribed to the notion that the main incentive or municipal effort should be the re- auction of the tax rate.
 We have not yet found anyone who could explain how the city was to attend to only part of it's needs and reduce the ta. rate at the same time,
 Sad thoughtful citizen, if he is still thinking, must have come to the conclusion that both things cannot be done at the same time. He is right.

 It told how to conquer the pain And how to make soap or appl. lemon peel
 To remove sonle insidious stain What ot do, it portrayed,
 For drowning mans aid. And how to make blackberry wine And how to clean paint
 And cure people who faint My grandm ot hers cook book va, fine. No frivolous poem No fiction to hl Our lives wath a vague discon tent! No long, prosy essays; Twas writer with skill;

competition for New England trade.
 Rather startling. isn't it?
 The reason is not so very far to seek. Wisconsin-and Minnesota dairy interests need not buy grain for COWS at high prices: it is raised right on the farms. The same holds true of Quebec.
 The average western dairy farm is a much bigger business than in New England. The most efficient methods are employed. Farming and dairy ing on B big scale has been their speciality for years.
 New England's farms as general thing are comparatively small. Costs are relatively higher. A small farm cannot compete with a big farm.
 Some say there should be no req son why a Connecticut farm, well managed, should not be able to de- liver produce in the nearest city cheaper than farm situated any where from 800 10 1900 miles away.
 Where the trouble lies is one of the [ New England, be they on farms or in the agricultural colleges, are in duty bound to find out
 Others say land in New England is too poor to compete with the West.
 What has happened in the meat business should not be allowed 10 happen In the case of All farm products.
 Onc> New England produced vir- tually all it's own meat. Meat pack ing was fairly important New Eng land industry. There still are slaughter houses and some meat packers, but there is no denying that most of the meat consumed in New England comes from Chicago.
 And once upon a time there also were flour mills in New England. which served local needs without great difficulty. Today virtually all our flour comes from Minneapolis.
 And what grains we eat in the form of cereals comes from Michi- gan or other western points, the nearest eastern cereal center seem ing to be Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
 Is comparatiyly the same thing to occur in everything from the farm?
 Will the day come when there will be NO farms at all in New England except small truck and poultry farms?

New Industrial Philosophy

!. High wage level, while origi-
9nally an incidence of labor scar
city and later of war time de-
names andinflation, have become
a distinct element of economic
life" says Magnus W. Alexander
President sof the National In
dustrial Conference Board. In
fact. a definite philosophy has
arisen from the relationships of
high wages, intensive productiv-
ity and national purchasing power
1t may be said that trend of A.
merican business policy is toward
creation OF widespread consumer
purchasing power by providing
high wages ard wages values
which in turn. tend to raise the
standards of living among the
masses.
This attitude on the part of the
employers is phenomenon found
no where else in the world. The
industrial philosophy of the past
was to earn profits by keeping
wages at a minimum. The indus
trial philosophy of the present is
to earn profits while increasing
wages to a maximum, thus pro
viding a larger market for all
products.
AS a result Americans have
most of the automobiles of the
world: they have the best homes
schools and amusements, the un-
employment problem is minim.
lied. Labor disputes seldom a.
rise and when they do are usually
settled peacefully by boards of
arbitration.
The upshot of tine whole matter
is that labor is no longer consid.
cred an inanimate commodity,
subject to the law of supply and
demand, but a partner in Ameri-
can progress. Prosperity, is to
be real and permanent, must be
general. We go forward as more
of the luxuries of life, in addition
to the necessities. find their way
into the average Ameaican home.
