"There'll be no trouble about

A student of Civil war battle

Affable but publicity shy, he
can be grim and determined when

knowing that he had written most
of the new law and had kept its
teeth sharp on its long journey

impressed that 1t would be grave
foolhardiness to withdraw from these
praiseworthy enterprises the govern

plete these programs, and emancipate
the farmers Of the Nation 10 that
they may resume their usual and in
dependent place in the national
economy
Reductions Seen Due.
The time is approaching, sincerely
believe, when it will be possible to
make some substantial reductions In
budgetary requirements, but the re-
ductions should be made on the gov
ernmental expenditures as a whole,
and should not work hardship upon
some especial and underprivileeed
group.
With the marked improvement in
business generally, 1t is to be hoped
that government, industry, agricul-
ture and labor can work out a prac-
tical basis of cooperation whereby
industry and agriculture will reabsorb
in increasing numbers the millions of
employables. whose unemployment
and restored purchasing power will
add materially to our national
prosperity.
The Iowa farmers and the farmers
OF the Nation will gladly carry their
share OF the tax burden II they can
be protected against the grave dam
gers OF depressed prices because OF
farm surpluses, and scarcity in times
OF drought. They want, as we all
want. balanced budget. They know,
as we all know, that that can be
secured only through balanced abun-
dance. Their goal is social justice
and plenty for both farmer and
consumer
1t cannot be too strongly stated
that the administrations farm pro-
gram Of the last four years has not
only brought increased buying power
to the farmer, but also it has brought
Increased prosperity to the entire
country. It must now be obvious to
every informed American that the
farm problem Is not local, but ma
t1ona.

Of plenty and equality Of opportunity,
their children should not be made

willing to make any sacrifice to as

families.
The vast industry, which Is agri-
culture, Is made up Of millions Of in
dividual farm owners, farm tenants
and their families. II they are i'm
poverished, the citizenry of the coun-
try as q whole is to the same degree
impoverished.
Our national aim should be to i'm

people. Certainly the Government

deal with agriculture fairly, wisely
and with justice.

various measures would be to preserve
and build up the fertility Of the soil,

1t Is my understanding that this new

sumers be obtained within the limita-

The opponents of agriculture with
their isolated examples, completely
ignore all of the essential facts about
the program.
The facts are that under the 1896
program conservation practices were
carried out on 100000 acres of
land. Nearly 100000 acres Of le-
gumes and 100000 acres Of green
manure crops were planted. More
than 100000 acres OF pasture land
were improved. After years of talk
about the terrific damage from ero-
sion, farmers for the first time had
an opportunity to cooperate in an
actual effort to combat erosion on the
