Full Speed Ahead Under ordinary circumstances the} July 1 crop report for North Dakota would constitute a major calamity for the people of this state. Not only are all cash crops the worst on record but the shortage of hay and forage will be a severe handicap throughout the fall and winter. The condition of cattle has im- proved largely because farmers have turned their animals into grain fields from which, earlier in the year, they| hoped to obtain cash income. Were it not for factors outside those of weather and production, the outlook would be the darkest on record, despite improved agricultural prices. As pointed out by this newspaper be- fore, it makes no difference to the farmer what the level of prices may be if he has nothing to sell. Based on current prices and esti- mated yield, the adjustment pay- ments for wheat will net North Da- kota more than the wheat to be mar- keted this year after seed require- ments are deducted. This is almost,|Stick around, worry our heads off} ANOTHER CONVERT TESTIFIES if not quite, true of corn. These payments, independent of crops har- vested, will total approximately $18,- 000,000, a figure not to be sneered at in these times. This, with payments for emergency livestock sales, will do much to help many farm families to keep the wolf away from the door this winter. In cases where these payments, together with other income are insufficient, the emergency relief set-up is pre- pared to function. There will and can be no real pros- perity for this area without crops at fair prices, but the current shortage is the best possible insurance for good prices to come and, as always, we have the hope that next year’s crops will be bountiful. One of the assurances that a change is due is the increased activ- ity in water conservation work through the Civilian Conservation Corps. In the range sections of the state this work will do much to pre- vent a@ repetition of the woeful short- age of stock water another year. If ‘we conserve what rainfall we do get, ‘we may eventually get more on the Biblical theory of “to them that hath shall be given.” In the background, too, is the im- proved condition of industry, for the farmer is just as interested in in- dustrial prosperity as the city man is in agricultural success. As pur- chasing power goes up in the indus- trial centers the consumption of farm products will increase. i Hence the farmer, even though he has little to sell now, gets encour- agement from the Dun and Brad- street forecast of business for the third quarter of 1934 which points to further gains. This service is paid for by busi- messmen who put faith in its reports. It is not political in any way and has no private axe to grind by delud- ing the people as to what the future holds. As such things go it is worthy of trust. Here is its analysis of conditions throughout the nation as a whole: “On the breadth of the foun- dation which has been laid dur- ing the last six months, the third quarter is being launched from a position of the greatest strength that has marked the beginning of any quarter during the last five years." All of ‘the seven primary factors established an impressively favorable trend dur- ing the quarter just closed.

He has a little island up there, and while he is on it Mr. Kent won’t have to worry about the New Deal, the high cost of living, the danger of war, or any of the other things that we stay-at-homes have to ‘worry about. “The real reason for my liking Greenland is not the things it has, but the things it hasn’t got,” he ex- Plains. “Up there you don’t have to fight with railroads because they try to discontinue service on your branch. There are no political machines with funny bosses and a corrupt party sys- tem that makes you sick. The peo- ple leave you alone, and when you want anything they try to help.” All of which sounds pretty attrac- tive, in these parlous times. of us have only two alternatives—to take up arms against them, or to grin doggedly and try to bear them. Mr. Kent has found a third—to get away from them and forget all about them, and his solution looks uncommonly attractive. Unfortunately, however, it is the kind of thing that works only for the artist. Mr. Kent, being an artist, is one of the few genuine individualists left in the world; as such, he can hie himself to a lonely northern island and let the world go by with a clear conscience. The rest of us are not so lucky. ‘We may want to escape from the problems of every-day life, but we can’t. We try hard enough, heaven knows—not by going off to Green- land, but by interesting ourselves in other things, such as baseball races and summer novels and camping trips and golf scores; but it’s a futile effort, and in the end the world forces itself on our attention whether we like it or not. For no matter how abstract these Problems may seem—problems like the virtues and defects of the profit system, or the armaments race, or the agricultural depression, or the evils of modern political machines— sooner or later they have a way of getting personal and affecting the money we earn or the prices we pay for things or our right to keep on living a moderately happy life.

We have to about them, and do our bit in the great job of finding a solution for them. Relief at Last President Roosevelt's Caribbean visit is a welcome reminder of the fact that the American government is at last tackling the task of re- habilitating the economic conditions of the people who live on the island of Puerto Rico. These islanders welcomed Ameri- can occupation at the close of the Spanish war; and yet, in the years since then, their membership in the American community has not done as much for them as they might rea- sonably have expected. In recent years, especially, things have been pretty tough for many of them, Now, in the wake of the president's visit, a committee of representatives of the U. 8. Agriculture, Interior, and Treasury Departments, and the fed- eral relief agencies, is in Puerto Rico to formulate @ long-range program for the island’s economic restoration. Considerable funds are at the committee's disposal; out of its work should come measures which will make the famous American standard of living a reality for the people of the island.

Instruction for Safe Motoring (Chicago Daily Tribune) The fatal casualties on the high- ways occurring in the last few days, as well as the sharp increase of mo- tor accidents this year, emphasize the urgent need of a radical change in our treatment of highway conditions. The most important requirement we think is clear. The rules of the road must be taught and then strictly en- forced. Most motor accidents are the result of a disregard of regulations which is not intentional but the re- sult of ignorance. In this belief we have urged a campaign of public ed- ucation.

And there are several sermons in| that. First, Miss C’s experience, in view! of the fact that she has arrested tu- berculosis, ought to impress ordinary folk who have no such handicap or latent disease. If she suffers no ill: effect from drafts, wet feet and the like, surely ordinary folk should not) worry about such everyday “exposure.” Note well, you poor victims of cryo- phobia, that this lady won her battle with tuberculosis, made a good re- covery, in spite of her, as you soft eggs see it, recklessness about “expos- ure.” In my opinion her “careless- ness” about drafts, wet feet or getting caught in the rain was a contributing factor in her recovery. Second, Miss C’s doctor was evi- dently a good one, for he cured her, didn’t he? Well, what did he think about the “exposure” which many politician health officers so solemnly warn against in comical bulletins bout flu, grip and “the common cold?” This competent physician as- sured the patient that no one with tuberculosis suffers a set-back, a re- lapse, a re-lighting into active disease from getting wet or any trifling thing like that; but that unwise EXERCISE harm.

General Johnson, who formally of- fers this recommendation, was about ed with recovery to be converted to it. The president himself, who prefers to delegate responsibility to individuals rather than groups, took a long time to come around to the idea. Johnson’s own career as adminis- trator proved the necessity. He wore himself to the verge of collapse and became so nervous and erratic that it cil to serve as a sort of regency for NRA when Johnson refused to take ® vacation.
