WHAT A WOMAN THINKS OF
!PRICE-FIXING.
,
When the price of wheat for 1917
was finally agreed upon, and fixed,
the consuMer leaned back in hie chair
with the eom.ferteltle feeling that at
last the Federal Goverement was look-
ing out for him. That same fixing of
*ice had Ia far • different 'effect upon
tha farmer.With an intereet at least
equal to that of the consumer, he too
has been; watching and Waiting
through the season from sowing time
until harv st 10 Government action.
Now _it has come
e in a fashion pecul-
iarly irritating.
"We've gambled ork crops for years:
sto our owe loss," staled one farmer,
"and now 'just s we geta chance to,
make a killing tjie Government steps;
in and interferes." • I
'How cam I tell -whether I can peoe
duce wheatat $2.20 at a fair profit?":
argued another. "The price of farm,
machinerygees up steadily; so does
the price of labor. 'Who fixes them
for me?" ' ff
Doubtless these two producers can,
be classed as "unpatriotic" and made
an end one -the only difficulty being
that they may be 'multiplied. by hun-
dreds among farmers generally who
are considering with doubt the Pros-
pect of patriotism plus loss or of
safety withoet patriotism in the plant-
ing of crops for 1918.
Figure out for yourself how much
patriotism has affected the . farmer
during the past year:
When the Government sent out
their armed for greater food produc-
tion, thousands of "war gardens"
sprang into existence almost over-
night. ' Well-to-do suburbanites plow-
ed under their lawns and a few mil-
lionaires sold off their fancy stock,
turned i under their pastures and golf
linka and planted in a kind of ecstatic
of patriotism. Just what the
of these enthusiastic efforts
een for the country at large
fervor
result
have
is an, bpen queetion. In my own vi-
cinity the jrrenediate effect was to
impair the market for early truck, so
that the farmers who patrieticallY
responded to the Government's appeal
to "plant more"' suffered from unus-
ually low Prices on early crops. The
latelnarket proved much better, whet-
her due to thelact that the enthusiasm
of the home gardener did not prove
equal to a double cropping or to the
accident of a drought that dried up
many a home garden but spared the
deeper cutivated field craps is a, second
question; the one fact that is settled is
that in a year of food famine and high
prices early truck crops paid poorly
and "Planting more" in this section
was a matter of patriotism purely.
Arrioag my urban. friends I meet
f-requentlf with the feeling that the
artneintrittlifetIcaithild 'Male- hes
plainly shaven his greed and has put
personal interest far above that of the
country at large. Without question
as to the personal interests , of city
dwellers ad their relation to National
ipterests, I rise in defense of the
fahner. I is true that soniewhere in
the West here are farmers who have
grown rno erately rich in grain pro-
duction. het the fact remains that the
average. farm labor income for the
country is about four hundred and
fifty dollars a year.
The year 1916 was the best that
the fartner_had knc.wn in a decade. In
• 1915 the eeuntry had a bumper crop
year. This meant a year of low
prices for consumers and of 'prosper-
ity for the country. For many indi-o
vidual 'farmers engaged in the raising
of perishables it meant glutted mar-
kets, crops rotting on the ground be-
cause it did not pay to harvest them.
In the fall of 1915 many farms sold
out under the harruner and many oth-
ers lay 'idle and uncultivated during
1916. In this year began the food
shortage, Prices soared. Farmers
whb had held on made money and were
able to recover the losses of 1915. The
year 1917 promised well, but early'
in the eisring the cost of production
began to mount. Seeds, fertilizer,
machinectin, and labor -the four es-
sential elements of farm operation -
alt increased in cost by leaps and
bounds. -.Freight deliveries were slow
and uncertain, fertilizer and machin-
ery for a particular crop often arriv-
ing too late. And on top of this came
the appeal to plant, and plant More.
As a business proposition the appeal
was in the nature of a joke. Had it
been made to any other 'industry in
the country, it is doubtful whether
there would have been a response. Can

The Federal' Farm Loan, pining in-
to operation soon after the l appeal to
plant more has been fairly, well taken
upad It should be. It is -the first step
tovtrils financing the farmer that is
wo ,h while.' But it is onlY the first.
As It now 'stands any darner who
wishes to secure "a loan must have his
farm appraised by the local farm
Joan association and by the Federal
farm eppraiser. He can obtain a loan
of fifty per cent. upon the , valuation
placed upon the land, and twenty per
cent. upon the :valuation pieced upon
his buildings. ,Fanners who ere strug-
gling to eet along and to increase
nnikovements. A good deal of this
went into pulling and blowing out
stumps, clearing brush, and other
ferns of work Which failed. to bring
immediate returns in production, al-
though it increased the selling value
ot the farm. In the spring of 1917
the purchase mortgage of $2,500 fell
due, and the holder did not care to re-
new it. The young couple had the
place appraised by a real estate deal-
er, who put a selling value of $9,000
•upon it. With this valuation they
went to their bank and asked for a
$4000 mortgage. It was refused, on
the ground that the bank did not ca,re
to handle farm mortgages. For time
months after, those young people'
went fem."). bank to bank and real es-
tate company to real estate company,
and were refused at every turn. No-
boyd cared to take a farm mortgage.
The Federal Farm Loan ettet was not
then in operation in that State, and
had it been it is doubtful whether
'the actual condition of the farm, des-
pite the selling valeet would have per-
mitted a loan large enough to be worth
while. One bank finally eonsente,d
place a loan a $2,500, but advised
the young couple to try a building and
'owe association. Front tine .source
they obtained. a loan of $3,200 at six
per cent and to obtain this they had
to pay a "premium" of $96. Both, of
them were bitter over the experience.
"It was humiliating," said the 'young
woman. "Her,e we were, engaged in a
service- worth while to everybody as
well as to oureelves-..the building' up
of an old, ran down farm. Yet upon
a sellieg value �f $9,000, fully justi-
fied. by the price of farms about us,
we couldn't raise a mortgage of one.
third without paying a premium over
six per cent interest, - and this was
hard to get. No wonder people do
non want to farm!"
As far as I know the Goverianea
has taken no definite steps in the
meter of securing adequate supplies
of fertilizer. Yet to produce the a-
mount of wheat the farmer is asked
to raise in 1,918 we need ten times
the amount of nitrates now ins the
country.
_
The fixing of the price of wheat
'will undoubtedly be followed by the
fixing of prices on other commodities.
For thisenhe farmer waits. Hampered
b§. lack of funds, by shortage of seed
and machinery-admited by the Gov-
ernmen.t-by shortage of fertilizer
and of labor, and with one definite aet
of the Government as guidance (the
price of wheat), he is making his

he watched a city boy on his first

the city were asking me why we
not plant more when the Govern-
ent was helping so Much.
The Government was _up- against
just the sane old proposition the far-
mer hes always been up against. Farrn
labor has never been in a position to
compete with other forms of labor.
When Dr. Jacoblsipman, of the New
Jersey Experiment Station in an effort
th get men from the factories out to
work on farms, went this summer to
the mill rooras and offered the men
there factory wages to do farm Work,
the men said, frankly:
"Oh, to hell with the farmer! The
farmer eikplaits ine." Next winter
these same men will feel themselves
further exploited in the ieereased coet
of living, but they have not yet work-
ed out the relation between their atti-
tude toward, farm work and the de-
enand upon their pocketbooks. They
refused to Come. Even atfaetory

Hence the substitution of soft -muscled

on Main street on Friday last, and was
one of the best on many good shows
conducted by the Society. The wee-.

good, and the Spring work on the
farms had. scarcely commenced., there
was an unusually large attendance of
spectators, and. a large list of entries.
The competition both in the light and
heavy horse classes was more keea
than usual as the entries were of an
