Telfer . if out in the cold because he cannot buy wheat at market price and the excess asked is too high to enable him tc take advantage of this phase of the vovernment’s intention to help him. It is true he can buy wheat and ex- change it for flour, but, where is he go- ing to get the wheat? Another way in which the farme. can be helped is for the governmeni to begin an extensive leasing of the less productive lands with a view of retiring them, at least temporarily, jfrom production. Fees for this pur- pose could be paid partly this fall and the rest next spring. This would put needed dollars in the hands of the farmer and at the same time give him an opportunity to build up his acres until they can produce profitable crops, or retire them entirely, which- ever he prefers, Right now the government is en- gaged in buying up millions of sub- marginal acres, buying up huge blocks of land, but we find that each and every community has in it farm lands that, under present conditions, have been producing at a loss for years. It ds these lands that should be leased and retired, not the acreages that produce crops that give a nice profit above expenses. No self-respecting farmer expects or desires charity in the form of a dole or otherwise, but when adverse conditions multiplied by ten descend upon his head, when each and every one of his crops proves a rank failure, when he has to sell his cows to keep them from starving and bills of all kinds stare him in the face, any man must ask himself what is to become of him without some form of help besides the doubtful one of for- cing him into heavier indebtedness which appears to be the portion of vast numbers of farmers who have sought governmental help in their ex- tremity. And, while it may cost something to reopen the various farm adjust- ment plans, in the long run it is going to cost less than attempting to collect @ huge debt that is and must ever remain uncollectible because the farmer as a unit is bankrupt.
