THE FARMER GROWS INPATIENT
Minneapolis Tribune) 4


Considering the fact that the farmer has ex-
perienced depression for at least decade, it is not
to be wondered that he is trifle impatient at the
failure of imitation and MIRA benefits to come his
way. It is easy matter of course to advise pa
thence his part and to give him assurances that
time and administration policies will take of
his problem to mis- satisfaction. He has been pa
tent for more than 10 years and he has been told
many times that his problems would be settled. His
scepticism is easy to understand.
Now he sees prices rising and is conscious of the
fact that the disparity in prices between what he
sells and what he buys has been his grievance.
farmer-provided he has any wheat is in a much
better position than he was few months ago. But
at the best he has little wheat and the wheat farmer
is not the only farmer by any means.
The farmer of Minnesota is not wheat farmer
by any computation. He is dairy farmer and
livestock farmer and his prices have not made any
comparable progress upward. He is even worse off
that he was before. His feed will cost him more
and the of unemployment, and the increased
cost of business generally will only spread further the
difference between what he receives and what he
spends.
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics has just
issued its report survey of 6,383 farmers for
1882 and finds that the average cash income

farm products $1,014 and the average cash out

appears at present
An outstanding result Of contin-
ued testing was brought out recent
ly in the herd of C. w. Winter, of
Willard. Several daughters of one
sire were proved to be much lower
in production than their dams. A
part of these have already been
shipped, the sire has been shipped,
and most Of the remaining daugh-
tiers not yet old enough to milk
have found their way to the beef
market. On the other hand daugh-

latter sire will be used in the COM

Testing proved him good. It

thing to be done, would be to see to it
that the American market, which con-
sumes more than 80 per cent of our
products, should be kept safe and Sc
cure for the American farm and the
American factory.
Then with return to normal con-
ditions at home we wrould have a
rising demand for American farm pro-
ducts in America. This would not
mean economic isolation for the Uni
ted States. We must and will con-
tinue to import many commodities
from abroad, for the simple reason
that we cannot produce them at home.
Rubber, tin and coffee are three ex-
amples. In fact more than half of
our imports now come in free of duty.
Therefore as employment rises in
the United States there will be not
only greater consumption of our
own agricultural products at home
but greater consumption of the COM
modities which we do buy abroad.
This would increase the buying power
in America, of the countries which do
sell US greater quantities of raw ma
terial, and so give us world market
without subjecting ourselves to cut
throat competition from cheaply paid
European and Japanese labor in our
own market.
We will have real world stability
and real world prosperity when each
country looks after the interest Of its
own people first, and principally pur-
chases from other nations the things
which it cannot produce q. home.
There is nothing in worldwide dump
ing and Improbable cut-rate compe-
tition. Like happiness, prosperity be-
gins at home. The sooner the nations
of the world realize this, the better
off we will all be.

ELUSIVE FOREIGN MAR
KETS

While Secretary of State Hull is
offering "hope" to the American far
mer in reduction of tariffs, in the
evident belief that such a procedure
in some mysterious way would open
up foreign markets to the American
manufacturer and to the American
farmer who has been suffering acutely
during this depression, Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, another men,
Der of President Roosevelt's cabinet,
bluntly told the corn and hog growers
of the Middle West the other day that
their foreign market was lost to them.
He offered no hope for regaining it
and suggested a curtailment of pro-
duction down to the domu3tic demand.
In his conclusions as to the value of
foreign markets for the farmer in the
future Mr.. Wallace is more practical
than Mr.. Hull who for years has
dealt with low tariffs in theoretical
sense, using theories which came down
to us from the Victorian era, and from
even before that blessed period of
long skirts and bustles.
1t is difficult to see how the far
mer would get a greater world mar
ket for his grain and meat products
through the lowering of our tariffs on
finished goods. Because of lower land
values, lower living standards and
lower production costs, Canada, Aus
tralia and Argentina can undersell us
in farm products in the markets of the
world. To lower our tariff would not
help in the least. The result would
be not the gaining of farm market
abroad but the loss of the great home
market to the cheap goods of Europe
and the Orient. This in turn, with
American factories and American
mines; idle, would mean greater un-
employment than ever and the loss to
the American farmer of the Ameri-
can market because the workman who
is out of a job could not buy bread,
bacon and butter. Europe, which
would displace our manufacturers in
our own market, would continue to
buy her agricultural. products where
she could get them the cheapest, and
that would not be in the United States,
at least until our scale of living had
sunk to world levels.
