Stinson. ment of a Pennsylvania fair price com- ‘missioner, quoted some time since in this column, that train robbing was quite as respectable though not nearly so profitable as the profiteering he had found rife in gities of that state. A ‘metropolitan paper devoted mainy to business fopics recently asked its readers, in referring to the food prob- lem, if they Knew that “One day of unusual heat at the criti- cal time may reduce the yield of an oat field 25 per cent. A few hours of rain can half ruin a crop of wheat. “Potato Yield may be reduced from 25 to 50 per cent. by a short dry spell. “One cold rain can ruin an apple crop. “One hot, mugy day may entirely spoil a crop of beans.” The editor might have added several items to this list. He might have asked his city readers if they knew that ome morning's work of a flock of crows might destroy an entire corn crop; or that:one night’s unchecked chewing of cutworms might end a promising cabbage field ; or that one hour of a grasshopper invasion might clean up all the green crops in their route; or that a six. weeks' drench- ing in spring might reduce all hope of farm production by from fiffeen to fifty per cent.; or that a month's drouth in July might kill half the crops depenid- ent on rain for their very lives? Etc.. etc. One of the chief papers in what is known as ‘up-state” New York receni- ly remarked sententiously that “Far ing, as a matter of fact, is about as ris as_speculation in oil stocks. This recalls George Hull's famous. re- mark, which I have quoted once before, that he was opposed fo all legislation against gambling because, if gambling were forbidden, it would knock every farmer in the country out of busine: The same paper refers to certain re- cent decreases in the'price of food pro- ducts which are being hailed with pleas- ure by consumers and remarks that, if| they mean only a reduction in middle- men’s profits there might be cause for joy. “but, if they are to mean lessened | production with famine prices when supplies grow scanty, th hardly comforting.” It adds: are | “Young men and women are drifting by thousands from the farms fo the cit- ies ; thousands of seldiers who went from the farms to the war have not gome back.

The combina- tion of profiteering greed on the part of | both big business and organized labor— | of mollycoddleis sapping the vital| forces of all industry—of a clam-lik indisposition for anything but the “soft Job” and the “easy snap”—and of a simply amazing governmental incapacity to see straight or act right—how can| fareseeing men fail to expect the worst?
