The seeming certainty that within ;%‘:gf sel:vi:glsw:!'le ::t &:L?m‘:iyn::: a ul;'grt time the United States would cease to be an exporter of foodstuffs, gave, rise to agitation for a “back-to-the-farm’” movement.

No one was in )an! ch month. doubt as to the facts. Boys were leaving the farms and going to the cities. MINNESOTA ELEC-&R;'%%'VIE‘!;I}I!EO Almost every line of industry except farming was developing faster than a-8 4' the population was increasing. There could be no question about the im- pending scarcity of food, even in time of peace. Yet there was no rush to the agricultural regions. Why? First and most important may be cited the simple fact that, in gen- eral, men learned or observed that farming did not pay. Farmers made a Hving, it is true. ' Some of them made considerably more than a living, but, taken as a whole, farmers Teceived less than average wages for the labor of themselves and families. Many, many of them left thir farms be- cause the sheriff turned them out with a decree of foreclosure in his hands. In return for an income far below average wages of common labor, . the farmer and his family worked twelve to fourteen hours a day, wore old clothes, deprived themselves of luxuries, skimped on what most of us deem pecessities, went to town as seldom as possible on account of bad roads, and BAave uh the advantages of good schools and social intercourse. . ‘There are many reasons why farming did not pay. To begin with, the farmer takes all the chanées with the elements—the frost, hail, tor- nsdd; flood and drought. With his crop successfully garnered, he often takes chances with a dishonest commission man. -Even-when he got a square deal from the buyer of farm produce, the middlemen’s prolts and mfim were 80 great that the net price left the producer ‘a very slight 3 margin’ of ‘profit. The middleman always got- his toll from the cropf ‘L whether the farmer has anything coming or: not. In the grading or clas-|| sification of the produce, with regard to quality, the farmer always gets the worst of it. If he holds for a higher price, storage charges eat up the possible increase. If he joins a co-operative selling agency, the com-| i misefon men manage to drive it out of business. He pays the highest rate of interest on his borrowings, never escapes any: of his taxes, and helpe pay, through higher prices, the bad debts of irresponsible city resi- dents. That situation was temporarily changed by the war. Farmers, as a rule, are now making good profits, though there are many exceptions. But in due time the war will be over, the extraordinary food shortage will end, and farming will be on a normal basis. What then? Shall we have already solved the problem of assuring the farmer a reasonable return for his expenditure of money and labor? If not, then the ‘“‘back-to-the-farm” ey will again be heard, with no response but the echo from fertile but uncultivated hills. " ripe pineapple goes into a'sin- e ... glepackage.
