wheat. cotton, tobacco, and corn,
could sign an agreement if they
wanted to. More than 100000 Of
them did.
The agreements varied for differ
ent crops, but the general idea was
this: The farmer agrees to reduce
the number of acres he plants. The
government pays him in cash for
this, to prevent his losing by plant
ing less. He also stands to gain by
increased prices for what he does
raise.
To raise the money, the govern
ment sets a processing tax" That
is paid by the man who first pro-
cesses" the crop (grinds wheat,
gins cotton). The government COL
lects this tax and pays it to the
farmers for reducing acreage. The
professor" adds it to the price of
the product.
THATS practically a sales tax
Il on us city people for the
benefit of you farmers, isn't it?" de-
manded Pa Jones.
Eyes, suppose it is" admitted
Robinson. But don't you forget
that for years we've been paying
higher prices for things on the
farms just to help you city folks"
why, how's that?" demanded Pa
Jones.
In tariffs" responded Robinson.
For instance, I could get foreign
rubber boots lot cheaper. But the
government won't let them send 'em
in without high tariff that's the
same as tax. I have to pay it so
you city fellows can keep making
rubber boots.
"Or have to buy the American
boots at price equal to that of the
foreign boots plus tariff; that's the
same thing. Been doing it for years.
Nov if I can pay more for boots
to help American workmen in the
city, 1 don't see why you can't pay
more for flour so I can get more for
my wheat than the world price. It's
fair enough, say"
well, I guess it is, now you put
it that way" admitted Jones. But
is the thing working?"
q
THE only fair answer is, Partly"
l. In spite of the terrible and I'M
expected drought, American farmers
this year will have an income of
nearly 100000, compared to
$4,328, 100000 in 1882.
That increase, of course, includes
the benefit payments for reducing
acreage. But even then there is a
gain through higher prices for what
was raised
Henry Robinson got 80 cents
bushel for his wheat instead of 80
cents as last year. Many farmers,
their crops utterly ruined by the
drought, had no income at all but
what they received for reducing
acreage.

But since the drought cut down
the wheat carryover below normal,
it looks now as though they're 60
in to let us increase our acreage
next year. The idea of restriction
on production is only temporary
it must be-
"Our county association c'ready is
making plans to restore wheat acre
age If it's allowed. So if they can
fix it so more corn, wheat and hogs
are needed in this country, and get
back even some of our old export
trade. we'll be ready to give EN- all
the production they want"
Kind of looks as though we
have to hang together, doesn't it,
Henry?" unused Pa Jones. Unless
you farmers get good prices, and
have an income, you can't buy city
made goods, and factories stand
idle.
ION the other hand, if we city
folk don't have good incomes, we
can't buy near the flour and cotton
we ought to, and there are SURPRISES
and you lose out.

mese twins of America. Have =

WELL, Henry, how does 1t
wv seem TO get nice fat check
from the government for not work.
ing2" Pa Jones. well-filled with a
good Sunday dinner, grew jocose
as he passed the cigars to his
cousin, and the two families settled
down for an after-dinner chat.
Cousins and friends for many
years, the Robinsons often came in
from their farm 70 visit the Joneses,
and the Joneses knew the Robinson
farm we'll as frequent visitors.
Henry Robinson drew deeply on
the cigar. Ignoring the friendly
barb, he considered thoughtfully,
John, I'm not much for the gov
eminent telling me how to farm.
I've farmed all my life. and my
father and my grandfather farmed
our place before me. l ought to
know something about it.
I've seen these government aid
programs come and go, and I'm
kind of skeptical about all of EN-.
But I'm bound to say think
this ones got a better chance to
get somewhere than any other I've
seen.
I'm about ready to admit that
we farmers have got to give up some
of our independence and fit our
selves into some kind of national
picture. 1 hope never to see the
day when there1l be federal in
spector telling me when to drill
wheat and when to dig potatoes, but
1 guess there's such thing as being
too independent. You city people
don't know what it is to get hard

TINE picture behind Henrys
Il words was this: At the begin
ming of 1893, six and a half million
farm families, representing % per
cent of the people, were getting the
lowest prices of modern times for
their crops.
What they bought cost per cent
more than in 1914; what they sold
brought 43 per cent less. They
simply couldn't buy city-made goods
and that added to the length of
the city breadlines.
The agricultural adjustment adj
was created to do two
things: Raise the amount which
farmers got for their crops; and
do it so they wouldn't just turn
around and raise more to cash in
on the higher prices.
The domestic allotment" plan
was formed. 1t provided that farm
