Practically all the endeavors of these combined departments and coli- eges, with their almost unlimited men and ‘money, has thus far been in the Yine of trying to increase production. How to get more barrels, bags, bushels crop; how to produce more quarts and pounds of dairy goods; how to grow bigger crops and a wider va- riety on the sanm . acreage—these have been the manifest aims of the has along that line. The attempt to get up to “hundred-bushels-an-acre corn and five hundred-bushels-an-acre potatoes has resulted in an appreciable rise in sthe mctual yields on many farms. En- "ergetic and forwasd-looking _farmers, iScattered ali over the country, hawe ‘been encouraged these govern- mental agencies to launch out into new flelds of production, and have been taught how to start, at least.

We known, now, that we c¢an raise, if put to it, a great many things which we used to import the Wholt of and still import mostiof. o know—ivhich is much more - important—that ‘we can, if put to it, raise double or treble as much to the mere as .we used to d o of standard and indigenous crops. The oniy question about doing it whether or not the increased trop will pay the increased cost of Ppro- duction. And yet, will all these millions of money spent evexy" year to improve , and all these thousands of wise men at work to discover new crops and new ways of bettering old crops—with all this help from out- side, we farmers aren’t producing to- day, as much food per head of the popuiation, as we were years ago! There's a faot to put in your pipes and smoke. "Way back 1899 we produced an average of 248 pounds of met for every person in the country. Last year we produced only 213 pounds per head. In 1899 we produced 95 gallons of milk, per capita of the country’s pop- ulation; in 1915 we produced 75 gal- lons. In 1898 we produced 44 bushels of grain per capita; in 1915 only 40 bushels. ‘We produced more butter and cheese and more, potatoes in 115 than in mu but not so much of either, per- e > In” les and eggs we did a little better, but only in.sugar did we make a really phenomenal gain. 'We actual- ly produced 20 pounds of sugar per head, in 1915 against only 6 1-2 pounds in 1899. But it isn’t clear that Wwe grew that an increase. Tt is much more likely that we imported most of it. Anyway, sugar is but a small i compartively, n the food bill of the nation: -Our production, per capita, fell off in meats, cereals and. potatoes, which three classes constitite fully eighty per cent. of our food, And in that -one fact lies expla- nation for some considerable part of the increased cost of living. There are other causes which need not be ignored, ‘but it “is worth while for the consumer to consider this as one cause, definitely and conclusively set- tied. Now there are quite a number of reasons for this regreitable decrease in the per capita production of farm products. One reason is in the decrease of la- bor available for farm work. There is no meed to descant on that. Bvery- body. knows it, and everybody has a theory to explain -it. Whether a heory is right or not matters Httl 0 long as the fact remains. Closely allied to this and largely be- cause of it, has been the increased of producing crops, a very marked increase, especially where at- tempts have been made at intensive farming. - And vet, until the present season, there has been very little in- crease in returns to the farmer, per bushet or per pound. for his goods. Prices paid to him are high, now; un- guestionably too high, in some. cases. But for the fourtecn years back th have not been. And the very fact the® they are now so high is mainly due to that IOW range of current prices tem which malkes such'an absurd par- adox possible is and® must be an ut- ‘wasteful. incompetent,” dunder- seventeen | th gard, the better.
