Smith did the hurling for the Prison in SAturday's tilt and was nicked for 14 hits. He was given poor support by his mates, who made tive errors behind him en the mound for the visitors. He yielded 12 hits, but kept them well scattered and the Prison was able to score in only the fourth inning. In the ninth inning the Prison filled the bases with two out, but was unable to get the runs over the plate. Washburn was easy for the Prison on Sunday. Ulmer, who did the pitching for the locals, held the hos tiles to 10 hits, while Flynn and Rob inson, who twirled for Washburn, were nicked for 17 blows Next Sunday the Prison will meet the fast ( le team on the Prison diamond. he score of Saturday's and Sun day’s games follows: Saturday's Game R.H.E.

Today the great plains are dotted with farm homes which eloquently testify to the fact that your men and women have those same sturdy qual- ities that won our independence, “To the people of the east your country for a time was a land of mystery, and then it became a land of ro ce. But few, I venture to say, realize the trials and tribula- tions which accompanied the agricul- tural conquest of this region. | can not refrain from taking this oppor- tunity to pay my respects to the men and women who so valiantly fought against heavy odds to win their homes. “Your experiences, not only before the depression but also during re- cent distressful years, show the néed of clear thinking and wise action. It is with this thought in mind that 1 wish, today, to consider with you some of the problems that vitally af. fect the agriculture of our country. Farming Is Business “Farming is a business. It is a highly specialized and complicated business. As a business it must be conducted along efficient lines, if it is to succeed. asteful methods will result in loss, and perhaps in fail- ure, in farming as surely as in other business. I believe that the farmer tors that may influence his business and who conducts his farming along the most efficient lines will succeed. On the other hand, I also believe that the inefficient farmer will fail. “What then do we mean by effi- cient farming? First of all, I would emphasize the fitting of production troubles of agriculture during the last five years in no small measure have grown out of the overexpansion of production during and immediate- about; ly after the war. In response to high prices and the, appeal for food, farming was mage more intensive and crops were pyshed out upon Jands where risks gre abnormally great. As a result, the production of farm products was enormously in- creased. When the markets for these products became demoralized, priees | sharply declined. No group of farm- ers escaped. Some suffered more than others. Many of you here suf- fered doubly. because at the time you also experienced severe crop failures. Readjustments Made “Since the distressful years fol- lowing 1920 far-reaching readjust- ments have been made in our agri- culture, but much still remains to, be done. Last year the wheat farm- ers of the United States fared better than usual, because wheat farmers in other parts of the world had fa‘ ures while you enjoyed good crops. Who knows when that condition will be reversed or when, perhaps, the Canadian farmer will’ be more for- tunate than you? More specifically, what is meant fitting production to the needs of the market? As you well know, con- sumers will not eat unlimited quan- tities of wheat, corn, butter and oth- Ser products.

The consumer is just as much interested in knowing that he can buy the quality of the product he desires, as that he can obtain it in suitable amounts, Farmers annually lose millions of dollars by placing on the market low quality products which consumers will buy only at a di count. This is all the more unfor- tunate because farmers themselves are in a position to stop much of this | loss. “I recognize, of course, that it is not an easy matter to estimate the power may vary materially from year to year, depending on general busi- ness conditions, the general trend in price levels and other influences. it is p le to obtain a fairly my privilege to represent is in a posttion to render.
