Editor, Tribune: The farmer has always had an abundance of misleaders and false prophets, but most of these have never been practical men of the soil in his own rank and file. But the farmers have always had to foot the Why not find that the time is now ripe for a change? That their lead- ers ‘must be of the soil, in their own rank! To be “born and raised on a farm” the usual fox-call, is not enough. Where you find a man with higher mental abilities, after he has left the farm, there you also will find his heart. Breaking land behind horses was not a dance of hesitation. It was a serious matter and a farmer thought Jong and well before he decided to add new acres to his fields. But when he got the tractor he also got the temptation. He could begin on Monday forenoon and by Saturday afternoon he could have broken and seeded 50 or more acres to flax. It was a gamble—it was always a gam- ble—but if sufficient rain came and on time he could make a “killing.” If he lost, and in the later years he usually did, the loss was serious. In this way between 60 and 70 million acres have been added to the culti- vated land since 1920. Where were the markets for this increasing pro- duction during normal years? In Utopia, nowhere! Not so very many years ago corn was king at home, but U. 8. wheat was still the king on the market of the world. That time has gone and will probably never come back. Other wheat-producing countries have also learned to use mechanical power in farming. When the manufacturers were busily christianizing U. 8. farm- ers in the beautifying credo ‘of “power-farming” they did likewise in foreign countries. When the custom walls went too high they took a nucleus of skilled American labor with them and built plants inside the walls. And it went fast.

But the farmers imagined they did when they invested billions in new implements, tractors, combines, trucks and cars with borrowed money, while the new acres kept the prices down and themselves submerged in debt. Those billions are now on the farmer's back and suck the marrow out of him. But the worst is that he has continued to invest borrowed money in “modern implements” during the depression. Whenever he opened a farm paper he could hear the everlasting yell from the wolves: “Cut the overhead, cut the overhead! an buy bigger 53 — and better machinery!” And the farmer bought—while the businessman was satisfied if he was able to keep his nose above water. Now the yell has been altered. Now it is “save time!” Indeed! If you ask why farm wages are so low you will be told that they are not worth more. And that is true. If only the farmers would realize that their own time just now is not worth much more—and sometimes less, But the cleverly worded, convincing let- ters written by “farmers” at some “Literary Department” will continue. ‘The time has come when the farm- ers must take reefs in their buying with borrowed money and credit. It has been too one-sided.

Where then did the money come from? Has it been luxury versus necessity? That won't do to con- tinue. Almost anyone has a fair idea about economy, but not always about sound economy. The state’s economy is based on the same principle, that the income must at least equalize the expense. Stop and think for a mo- ment. What did this state export and for how much? For several years to come North Dakota needs to have, and must have, a far greater export than import! FRED KNUDSEN.
