| We farmers are not looking for any
glory out of this war! All we want
is square deal and honest represent
tation in Washington, D. c., with
laws, rules and regulations which will
allow and permit US to go About
in the production of these very es-
sential war commodities, without
some clique jumping in to hog what
glory and credit there may be in
connection with the production.
I personally feel that your depart
ment, up to the present date hasn't
been SO very much concerned about
the welfare of the American farmer.
1t appears to me that those of Wash
ington responsible for the formulating
of laws and administrative rulings do
not realize that, the average American
farmer is no longer a hay-rube just
because he hasn't bunch of decora-
tive diplomas. We are no longer in
efficient "babes of the woods" We
have learned we can't afford to be
that type of people.
We don't want a one cent certifi-
cate to encourage us to produce these
war foods. But we want permission
from our government without red tape
of any sort that, will allow a maxi
mum production from our soil, the
commodities we can best produce
from manpower we can procure to do
so. With prices which will enable us
to compete with profit-plus Industrial
lists, now manufacturing war supplies.
Last year 1892" we raised victory
food crop of 220 acres of dry edible
beans. Doing so, we ran into a lot
of complications of manpower and
competitive prices for labor which in
the end wiped out any and all chances
of us receiving profit from the COM
modities produced After our beans
were in the hands of the warehouse
men our government raised the price
of beans some 25c per 100-lb. bag.
We, the producers received no addi-
tional compensation, though we had
endeavored to produce enough beans
to feed one million soldiers one meal.
We find we were also penalized in
our allowed soil conservation pay
ments.
And through the red-tape of the
draft system one of our boys was
stolen off the farm and pushed into
the army.
Don't send us any certificate for be-
ing about in production of vital war
foods.
Yours very consciously,

AS with the filling stations, so with

With the great incentive" of profit
still rampant in free America" the ra-

Under the stimulus of opportunity
for greater profits, made possible by
rationing, many rugged Individual

tiative" out of the moth balls, polished
it up and are now going out indus
triously after some of the "big mon

consumer with more than his quota
of rationed products This apparent
ly has aroused the ire and brought
down the official condemnation of
capitalist administration lead ers,
though jush why capitalist official
should so bitterly condemn a product
of the system which he is so vigor-
ously striving to perpetuate will al
ways be more or less of mystery
to logical thinkers. Nevertheless
these rugged (but elusive) individ-
ualists" of the "Black Market" have
caused such a turmoil and so upset
the calculations Of capitalist leaders
that the legislature of one state (Cal-
ifornia) has in all seriousness pro-
posed to have the state take over and
operate all slaughterhouses and pack

operations. Shades of A. c. Townley!

Apparently Washington, D. c., is
quite concerned about the nations
food production for the year of 1913,
at least good deal of squabble comes
from there, how to solve it.
From the suggestions offered, it
sounds like that anybody can go on
the farm, and fill the gaps, that has
been left by the men that has been
called in to the service. To me a
farm hand is a man with experience,
that can be put on job and do it
right. To Washington any man over
3S, or under IL is a farm hand re-
CARELESS of the background. The
farmer who has to contend with some
of this kind of help, is in bad posi-
ton to help to produce the greatest

Yes, kid, or a green hand can get
on a tractor, shift the gears, and put
the clutch in, and steer it around the
field, but from there on with the most
of them, there is where their knowl
edge stops There is something be-
hind that tractor that has equal i'm
portance, with keeping the tractor go
ing, especially now since more old
machinery has to be used.
There are so many instances that
can be referred to, by having green
hands to do the work, and just to
show what hand without knowledge
will do. One morning a young man
was sent out in the field with an
outfit to seed wheat, everything was
oiled up drill filled, and in shape to
do some seeding. After eight rounds
had been made it was noon and the
boss came over to bring the hired |
man home for dinner. The boss soon |
saw that only half of the drill was in
the ground, therefore seeding only |
half of the ground covered. This |
meant a half day wasted, besides
seed, and machinery. Another case
would like to mention, the tractor run
ow on water, but in place of refilling
when he saw it, he was determined
to get to the end of the field where

RATIONING, ITS EFFECT

When administration leaders first
announced that it would be neces
sary to ration" certain products be
cause of war necessity, it was only
natural that the general public would
attempt to secure supply OF these
products before the rationing program
went into effect. 1t is a tribute to
pie, rather than due to any intelli-
gence on the part of official Wash
ington that a general stampede of
boarding did not take place, for I'M
der the devil take the hindmost" at
titude cultivated by capitalist free
enterprise" the fear of being caught
short is ever before the eyes of the
victims. Therefore, let a shortage
either real or fancied, of any product
be threatened and the rugged indi-
vidualist' thinks of himself and his
needs first of all.
That administration leaders had at
the outset no adequate information
as to our resources and therefore no
lQSd DIS W tnO dllOullt CdSh iieiif ioueei
should be allotted, is patent from the
fact that certain restrictions have
been considerably relaxed as the pro-
gram proceeded and more information
was acquired. The bungling attempts
to acquire information and the still
highly muddled mental state of Wash
ington officials regarding "priorities,
food" and "manpower" is character
istic of capitalisms rugged individ-
ualists" and in marked contrast with
the planned economy of the socialist
state in which the central authority
has at all times an accurate and COM
plete record of available resources
and manpower.
One of the first victims of the
squeeze" of war necessity was the
small business man" who due to the
mass production methods of more
ample financing of his ''big business"
felt his 'toe hold" on the
capitalist ladder growing precarious.
Small business feeling itself Slip
ping" cried desperately to congress
through Senator Murray's "small bus
mess committee; Save me, Cassius
lest l sink, little realizing that in
q highly industrialized economy there
are only three courses open to the
small business man, he must expend,
merge" or combine, or be eliminated.
In either case he ceases to be small
business.
One of the first noticeable effects |
If "rationing" was the elimination of |
much of the wasteful duplication of
capitalist effort. The average citizen |
passing a vacant filling station these
lays gives little thought to the rea-
son for its vacany, nor dies the real
re how much duplication of effort ex-
sted under our blessed" capitalism
n that line alone. 1t was not unus-
lal to find in towns of less than three
thousand population, from Is to 30
illing stations cluttering up the high
way in the space of less than two
niles Each of these stations repre-
ented a capital outlay of from $500
o $4,000 dollars, each engaged in
a service that could easily
ave been adequately performed by
hree of the larger type station, with
capital investment of 10 percent of
