II find fewer and fewer farmers
who want Washington to tell them
what to do" said Haystead. Where
farmers want subsidy, generally
their farms are poor and ineffi-
Gent"
And yet higher price is not the
solution to farm prosperity, he
warned. Generally speaking, con-
sumption is influenced by a rise in
price. 1 would caution farmers
against too much price fixation in
the postwar period.
There are interesting expert
ments under way to achieve lower
distribution and production costs in
agriculture. One Pennsylvania milk
cooperative, for example, pays tx
cents per quart to dairy farmers
and sells the same quart to the
consumer for 10 cents" The speak
er told of other studies in the use
Of machine mixers and in multi
grass food for dairy cows. One
Wisconsin program, covering
number of years, went into the
"red'' only one season when cows
were fed supplementary on grain.
Perhaps the most significant OBJ
servation made by Haystead, as we
viewed it, was this statement: "One
book on agriculture, written during
the war, has enjoyed sale of $780,
600 copies, mostly to city jewellers.
Urban residents are becoming more
interested in agriculture. They are
talking more intelligently about
farm problems
Why this revived interest in agri-
culture?
The urhanite has keen memories
OF the 1932-1939 depression. Owner
ship Of a few acres of land, culti-
waited part-time to supply vege-
tables, fruit, milk and possibly
meat, offers a buffer of self-effi-
cheney against the threat of want
during hard times.
The agrarian has just discovered
that fully quarter of our good
agricultural soil has been wasted
and ruined by erosion of rain and
wind and by extravagent, reckless
exploitation Of soil fertility. He
faces the prospect of another quar-
ter Of the land being destroyed un-
less remedial action is taken at

Both Of them, consumer and
grower, are motivated by q yearning
for security in a postwar world
torn by confusion and fear. If agri-
culture Is to be the historic base
Of any nations prosperity, then the
problem becomes more and more
personal to more and more of us.
That's why we went to Lapeer, and
why we believe Michigan should
take q thoughtful interest in the
future Of our land and its use.

Lured by the prospect Of a good
beef dinner, plus writer's curios-
ity to know more about Michigan
agriculture, this columnist Travelled
recently to Lapeer in the Thumb
to attend the second annual La
peer dairy banquet.
We were not disappointed. 1t was
SOME partyI
Close to 400 dairy breeders from
Ionia to Adrian and Lapeer citizens
and nearby Thumb boosters packed
the dining hall Of the Lapeer State
Home to feast on good Michigan
beef and tasty Michigan potatoes.
And several hundred more listened
to Ladd Haystead, farm editor of
Fortune magazine, and enjoyed
old-time melodies by the worlds

from Grand Rapids. Highspots also
were the POSTMASTER twins: Charles
Figgy, witty state commissioner Of
agriculture, and Tony" Weitzel,

state devoid Of both meat and but
ter-we developed one conclusion,
long before we reached Lapeer.
Here is a "hot" subject of wide
spread. popular concern: Food!
To get a representative picture of
the Michigan dairy industry after
the war. you must first understand
the plight Of the cotton grower In
the South. Haystead pointed out.
Tall and husky, an owner opera
tor Of two farms In Ulster county,
New York, and secretary of the
New York Farm club with a men,
bership of white-collared Gotham
ties who have laundering for the
soil, he declared:
'The cotton farmer In the South
faces tough market in the post
war period. Synthetic textiles have
invaded the world cotton market.
Mechanical farming is the only So
luton in a future Of dwindling de-
mand and low price. The southern
farmer must adopt the mechanical
planter and the mechanical picker.
Big farms are essential to their
operation.
Cali Of this means that the
South, with It's 12-month growing
season. is turning to, the dairy
industry as a substitute for cotton.
What happen to cotton In the
South is thus important to Mich
igan."
Industry and business leaders
realize a nation cannot prosper on
q sick agriculture" the speaker en-
phasized. Agriculture is the broad
and enduring base on which our
nations economy rests"
Here was an obvious platitude.

When you seek to find an easy
solution to the problem Of agTicul-
ture, your difficulties multiply. The
field is complex. There is no one
answer. Values OF all ideas are rel
alive to each thinker.
Consider then a few economic
factors, as presented sketchily by
Haystead.

The boys in the truck garage
are asking their fellow-employes
to show a little more courtesy.
They say they are doing their
best under very trying circum-
stances to keep everybody hap
py and supply them with suf-
ficient material for them to
make out. They ask that the
people who walk in the drives
heed their warning signals and
not cuss them out when they
must get through.
Not only are the drivers do
ing their best in the plant, but
they are aiding their fellow
workers who get stuck with
their cars. A tow car is ready
at all times to aid those who
need help in starting their car.
All you need do is call the
plant protection Captain, tell
him where you are and some
one will come to your aid. When
help arrives, instead of sitting
in your car and waiting for your
rescuer to do all the work, give
him hand and show your will
ingness to cooperate. This infor-
nation supplied by Doc Dough
erty. Truck garage.
Well, what do we hear now:
The great Frutchey, boss of
401 millrights, is working nights
on an auto wrecker out of
Temperance, Michigan. Has the
cost of living risen to point
where our dear bosses can't
make living?
Hats off to a real boss judg-
