Based on a population of 115,000,000 people, Amerioans in 1927 have consumed meat at the rate of ut pounds per mon for every man, woman and child in sthe United States. The Department of Agriculture is authority for the statement that meat this year is being con- sumed at a rate of 1,031,000,000 pounds each month. The rate is approximately one and one- half per cent. higher than in 1926, when tie consumption was 1,016,000,000 pounds monthly. It was also slightly higher than in 1925 when 1,024,000,000 pounds were consumed each month. The tate ‘was higher in 1924 than in any year since 1920, 1923 being second and 1927 third. Prior to 1923 the aggregate consumption was well under one billion ‘pounds, rising in that vear to 1,053,000,000 and increasing 25, 000,000 pounds in 1924, It has not fallen under a billion pounds since 1923. h BOURBONS OF BUSINESS. The new ideas and methods that have invaded our industrial world have been dividing our employers of labor into two classes that may be called Progressives and Bourbons. The Bourbon class still clings to the belief that the ideal way of producing wealth is to have quantities of cheaply paid labor, hired and fired at frequent intervals. Storing labor that can be got cheaply and in abundance when seasonal rush orders come in is still favored by them. Playing one race off against another, and skill in fighting labor, rather than in using i ect- jvely, are still favored policies. The tenement district, with its people close 1o edge of dependence, is still held by the Bourbon to be a desirable part of a healthy industrial system. The Bourbon hears many discourses small labor turnover, better organization, chanical improvements and co-operation between employer and employed, all in order to work out higher production per man; but his mind still turms to Ellis Island, or the Mexican border, and to a big reserve of half-employ labor. He has not begun to figure, as do his oclates, that somebody has got to carry that redundant poorly-paid labor and its dependents when his ‘Pymll does not. Somebody has got to provide . schools for their children, and hospitals, asylums, * workhouses aud prisons for,those that fall by the b fde; yet the Bourbon is often the first to complains of high taxes when some of the load he expected to shove on to others comes to himself. When the power-shovel stops work, its two or e well pald men who operate it go back » that carry tlemselves. That is mnot . oase with the hnndred or 0 men that the urbon method prefers.

Phere may be such a thing as farm relief through legislation, but it will mot be found in poitical nostrums and artificial cure-alls such as the McNary-Haugen bill. Such, in brief, is the report of Charles Nagel, Chairman of the Busi ness Men’s Commission on Agriculture—created by the National Industrial Conference Board and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, jointly. The Commission admits that it would be quite possible by legislation to raise the prices of farm products; yet it could be done only by means which are unsound in principle, arbitrarily alter- ing the relations between supply and demand— and promising no permanent relief. Intelligent reliet for the farmer, the Commis- jon thinks would embrace gradual tariff adjust- to equ nearly the benefits of the protective tarift n as between agriculture \nd mauufocturing; creation of a Federal farm Loard to assist in the stabilization of farm prices and production; comprehensive land utilization policy to be administered through an endowed ent be effective what our 1creasing our wealth «n one of life's ecommon-| t] - ——— % i ALONG LIFE’S ‘ DETOUR By SAM HILL at has become of the ol hioned woman who caught co! m a rainy day from having he wet skirts flopping about he ankles?

The farmer has pretty much the same problem as any other producer. He muast obtain higher prices, or he must reduce his costs, or he must extend his markets. He certainly suffers an injustice when a hostile tariff 1w is permitted to curtail his foreign outlets. A But his problem is econo?u:, rather than leg- islative. ‘ @t In the last analysis, he must stand on his own feet, solve his own problems according to the fixed laws of production, distribution and exchange. Any legislative rellef would be but temporary; eventually it would be harmtul through the very fact that it would disregard the principles of sound business.
