INSTTUTE S TOLD 1S OF FARMING Threefold Anarchy Held Cause of Agricultural Unrest in Country. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Staff Correspondent of The Star. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., August 5. —American agriculture is in the grip of a three-fold anarchy, Prof. James X Boyle of Cornell University told the Institute of Public Affairs, meeting to- day at the University of Virginia. Disorderly development, disorderly production and disorderly marketing of perishable products, Dr. Boyle, said, are largely responsible for the present economic plight of the farmer. Cor- poration farming, cheap credit, protec- tive tariffs, Government bounties and price-control schemes he characterized 2s_wrong roads toward a stable agri- culture, “Anarchy in development,” he said, is {llustrated by the fact that in 1920, 45,000,000 acres of new land was put in cultivation without any economic excuse, and during the next five years 00,000 acres of this went out of cuitivation, attended by numerous farm bankruptcies. It now is generally recognized, he pointed out, that. the need is less land in farms, fewer farm- ers and less competition, with reforest- ing of the poorer land now under culti- vation, Crops Over Planted. “Anarchy in_production,” he said. is idenced by the overplanting of erops beyond the needs of the market, espec- fally tree crops, such as peaches and vineyards. where the farmer cannot correct his mistake after one year's failure. He urged concerted action to formulate production policics. “Anarchy in marketing,” Prof. Boyle said, is least important of the three, although the most in the public eye. It is serious, he stressed, only in respect to perishable crops and does not affect such commodities as wheat and cotton. Farming, he sald, never can success- fully be placed on a factory basis with scientific experts. scientific methods, machinery and mass production, be- cause of the great difference in soils, topography and other factors on a single small farm. It will remain, he said, a “small-scale business.” Cheap credit. he pointed out. helps those farmers able to use it wisely, but Tuins about as many more who bor- | row recklessly. The Federal farm loan act, according to Dr. Boyle, helped some, but when it brought cheap land credit it had a powerful influence in boosting land prices. Criticizes Tariff. ‘The protoctive tariff he characterized s “obviously a mere quicksand for the foundation of any permanent agricul- tural investments.” “The present method of building up tariff schedules on the so-called differ- ence in cost of production at home and abroad,” he continued, “brings a few more high cost producers into the field, and this, in turn, raises the average cost of production once more above the foreign competition level and so justifies another increase in the tariff. Just as the inflation of an irredeemable paper currency breeds a new inflation so one tariff increase calls for another. If we put a tariff of $5 a bushel on wheat, we would actually increase the number of farmers who grow wheat at a loss.” Even more fallacious, he said, is rely- ing on Government bounties and sub- sidies, as advocated by several farm organizations. “The export bounty plan.” he continued. “has the added objection that it legally constitutes dumping and would come into collision with the anti-dumping laws- of prac- ticaily all foreign countries. In view of the fact that we have each vear an exportable surplus of 15,000,000 tons of food. using an export bounty wonld be | playing with economic dynamite.” | Government schemes of price control | of farm products as tried out in Great | Britain, Cuba, India and Egypt, Prof.| Boyle said, always have left the farmers | worse off than it found them. It is im- possible for the Government to control prices, he said, until it can control production. “Playing With Surface.” “Farm relief that merely changes the marketing system is only playing with the surface of things.” he continued. “The problem is how to make a better farmer out of the average farmer. The germs of success or failure liz in him rather than in outside factors or insti- tutions. Important shifts in production h been forced on farmers in the Y 1.

It is best to train him to fight his own bat- tles Thirty lines of attack on the eco- nomic problem of the average farmer were suggested by Prof. C. E. Allred of the University of Tennessee. Besides the more obvious measures of economy Prof. Alired urged “cultivation of ability I to resist agents and salesmen, induc- ing well-to-do farmers to retire on the farms themselves rather than in the villages; co-operative or mutual insur- ance: temperance in all things, includ- ing whisky, gambling, tobacco, luxuri- ous clothing and joy rides: elimination | of merchant credit, which now costs | shiftlessness and lcafing, both white and black, by elimination of such dis- eases as hook worm and increasing hu- man desires; marrying by farmers of wives, who will be true helpmeets: less { elaborate funerals; possibly a reduction in the size of farm families with a con- | sequent reduction in the cost of food, clothing and education. since under | present_ conditions children have be- come an economic Nability.” “The press is the most universal | power in modern _society,” Jacinto Lopes, editor of La ReForma Social of New York, told the section on the press and public affairs.” “It is a uni- versal source of life and a universal means of communication,” he con- tined. “It is because of the press that we live the life of the world and that we feel that the world is a unity.

HYANNIS, Mass, August 5.—The third annual institute of world unity opened a month of public sessions here today with Dr. Parker Thomas Moon, assoclate professor of international relations, Columbia University, lectur- ing o6n “Economics versus Politics.” :lln discussion was the first in a course of five lectures on “imperialism and the economic foundation of war and peace.” John Herman Randall of New York City, the director of the in- stitute, explaining its scope and aims, declared “the most important task of education at this time consists of creating an intelligent public sen- timent capable of sustaining the splen- did leadership of men like President Hoover and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in their responsible efforts to modernize the forces of politics and insure a peaceful and ordered world.” Prof. Moon developed his thesis on the contention that “the economic causes of war will grow more perilous in measure as we continue the anach- Yonisitc endeavor to apply to the modern business world the political ideas of Queen Elizabeth and Louis XIV. In the world of toda; he declared, “economics and politics are at odds, by political and legal dogma; each of our more than 60 States is sovereign and independent: all are equal in the eyes of international law. Look beneath the political surface to the economic facts, however, and you will find little sovereignty or independence and no equality.” SUMMONS IS ISSUED FOR HARRY RICHMAN | Pittsburgh Federal Judge Grants Paper Haling Clara Bow's Fiance to Court.

Brown, Seat Pleasant, Bare All Interventions, Says California Educator. By the Associated Press. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 5.— The full spotlight of publicity should be thrown by the State Department upon all its interventions in Latin America, Prof. Herbert I. Priestley of the University of California today told the delegates of the Institute of Politics. “The Nation is entitled to know what interests are being served by United States intervention in Latin American affairs, what the indirect effect is likely to be upon the taxpayer and upon the man who serves his Government's colors,” Prof. Priestley said, “and if it is to know those things publicity must be given to the State Department's activities.” In a discussion of the protection of life and property in the Caribbean, Prof. Priestley said, although on one hand the State Department never has supported the demand voiced by Ameri- can interests abroad that various coun- tries of the Caribbean should be “Cubanized,” on the other hand, the United States has been a little slow in appreciating the effect “of unhappy psychological reactions created by the impairment of our sovereignty in the Caribbean.” He further declared that “political sovereignty supported by blind attach- ment and Hispanic traditions of ultra- legalism had preserved the countries of the Caribbean area from the European encroachments imposed upon the Near and Far East under the guise of extra- territoriality.” A round table conference on post- war changes in Europe brought from George Young, Labor member of the British Parliament, the observation that a marked tendency now was noticeable in Europe to renounce parliamentary | government for personal government or the fiance of Clara Bow, motion picture | actress, was issued in Federal Court today in the suit brought against Rich- m: by Ellen Franks of Pittsburgh. Richman was directed to appear in court the first Monday of September, or file an affidavit of defense. According to papers filed by Miss Franks’ attorney, the woman will seek damages for alleged assault and battery. Miss Franks was said to bs a dancer, but she was not known in the theatrical circles here, and could not be found. Rocket Plane to Be Tried. Fritz von Opel, the German sports- man who invented the rocket automo- bile and rocket motor cycle. expects that his new rocket airplane will be as suc- ccssful as the others.
