That part of the farmer's difficulties which arose from overstimulation agriculture during the war largely has been overcome, Mr. Woolen said, and the present situation is due to funda- mental causes which “can be soundly dealt with only by such comprehensive | agricultural policy as we have never had.” Discusses Transportation Rates. Transportation rates, Mr. Woolen pointed ouf, probably have been un- | | duly favorable to the industrial centers | | as against the agricultural areas; the { farmer is paying almost twice as much of his total income for taxes in propor- d | tion to the rest of the population; the e | protective tariff has diseriminated - [against the tiller of the soil in favor n ' of industry He insisted, however agricultural products by increased - s would be only temporarily help- et by surpluses tected products caused by and to their production. He also point- t|ed out serious difficulties involved ¥ the three price-raising proposals of the ry-Haugen bill type Woolen saw room: llowing the Demox ng tariffs all around. .

Now. he insisted, the si tion has been reversed Dickenson Favors High Tariff. t Mr. Dickenson insisted, however, that crving need of the farmers was a hig on farm products. which wo e them the same protection as that w accorded industry and 1 Other nations. such as Brazil. Australia and Japan. he said. are resorting to high protection of standard crops. He claimed that protection was originally a farm policy resorted to not so much for the sake of industry itself as to give agri- culture a home market A policy of consolidation, he said., would be hindered by the necessity of dealing with 6,000.000 individual food | producers, thus making control of the market through a controlled flow of products practically impossible. Neces- | sity of some national legislation, | whether of the McNary-Haugen tvpe or | not. to give the farmer equality of bar- | gaining power with industry and labor, | is absolutely necessary, Mr. Dickenson declared Sociological Aspects Cited. Opposing views on the sociological aspects of the farm problem were pre- sented this morning before the Insti- tute by Dr. O C. Stine of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and Dr. James A. Dickey. professor of sociology n! Arkansas Dr. Stine insisted that the declining status of agriculture in the United States constituted a distinct national danger, not only because of the pos- sible need of experienced farmers to produce emergency food supplies in case | of war, but because of its general effect on the citizenry of the Nation. The rural districts. he said. produce a stable population necessary to insure the se- | curity of the Government against the | propertyless urban classes. History never has shown that a strong civilization is s, and the present rate of urbanization of the | United States is leaving the farming istricts with an_inferior population. {since those with the most abi initiative go to the city. | | Urof. Dickey insisted. however, that it | would be dangerous to interfere with the free movement of population from | | the country to the city which would | prevent people from finding their most | | economic employment. Furthermore. Prof. Dickey said. few people of genius ever have achieved | distinction on the farm. although many | {of them were born on farms. Other Leading Topics. The urbanization of the United States | is progressing so rapidly. said Prof. John D. Black of Harvard University. that the country soon must face the question | of whether or not to take nmncm‘ | measures to strike a balance. | The spread of cotton planting \uu-\ ward and northward has brought a | | serious problem to the Southeast, W. J. | Stillman of the Bureau of Agriculturai Economics told the institute, because it | s | has left them without a substitute crop. | The cotton acreage in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, hard hit by the | | boll weevil and the ruinous pric | 1920, has decreased almost a half. | | ‘They cannot go back to cotton, he | | said. unless the price remains much higher than is likely in the future. In Texas alone there are at least 10.000,000 acres available for cotton which are | not vet cultivated. Three-fourts of the waterpower re- sources of the United States are under the control of the Federal Government —either logated in the Western moun- tains. where the land is Government- owned. or in navigable rivers. where | their use can be regulated—Dr. Philip P. | Wells of Washington told the group | studying economic and industrial de- velopment of the South yesterday. The problem remains. he said. of how the | Government is to regulate the two- | thirds of all electric power which is derived from fuel in its efforts to pre- vent power monopolies Arbitration Factor in Commerce. | Arbitration of commercial disputes is becoming an increasingly important ! factor in the settlement of commercial | | disputes. Prof. Wesley A. Sturges of Yale University told the open forum session yesterday. As a business prac- | | tice, he said, private arbitration rather than litigation is common in Europe, | and only in the United States has it failed to win general acceptance. ! It is now being forced on business Prof. Sturges said, by the increasing | | cost of court action and the inadequate facilities of the courts to handle decid- ing points of business technicality. The difficulty. he pointed out in one party withdrawing before judgment and R R R T Y Cjinthon fl{D Wise Cream Buttermilk Wholesome, Refreshing Assonderfuliseaight corrective!

That’s one good reason why the country is swinging to Nash. The new Nash “400" is the car with the Twin- Ignition, 12-spark-plug, high-compression motor. It gives you more power and more speed—far more than you will ever care to use. It gives you this speed and power with a smooth- ness and ease that other new cars without 7-bear- ing crankshafts and hollowed crank pins cannot begin to equal. And it gives it to you—NOT with an increase in gasoline, NOT gyvith special, costly gasoline—but with LESS gasoline per mile and any kind of gasoline you choose to buy. This is possible because Nash, instead of merely increasing the size of the motor, has developed new principles of motor design, and offers a radically new type of motor. All 11 models of the Advanced and Special Six ‘400" are powered by the Twin-Ignition engine ~—the motor marvel of the year in the automo- bile industry. w-NASHAOO s Other Features Salon Bodies « Twin-Ignition motor - High compression + Aluminum alloy pistons (Invar Strut) « T-bearing crankshaft (hollow crank pins)-Houdaille and Lovejoy shock absorbers (exclusive Nash mounting) + Nash Special Design front and rear bumpers - All ex- terior metalware chrome plated over nickel WALLACE MOTOR COMPANY Distributors Retail Salesroom, 1709 1, Street, N.

But the new way is to bolt your party and jump to the opposing candi- date. They always announce that they will take their supporters with them.
