Several of the officers are leav- | ing for Marion this week to discuss jagrioulture with Mr. Harding. They | have read the reports that Henrg o| Wallace of lowa has been selected | for Secretary of Agriculture, but would offer no comment, ev It iy said that they have men of | thelr own to propose to Mr, Harding who haye had more experience as ‘practical farmers than Mr. Wallace, but one of the group indicated that while’ Mr, Wallace may not have ‘been a farmer as long as they thought necessary, nevertheless he had been on the farm more years than the.ap- | pointees of the past, Here is the kind of a Secretary of Agriculture the Na- | tional Grange wants: “A practical farmer who should be | not only in sympathy with farmers but so Identified by ideas, vocation and effort that farmers will recognize him as one of themselves; the head of fidence in his leadershfp.” There's another thing the Grange wants from Presidént Harding's Sec- retary of Agriculture~a cost account- ing system that will tell the people of the city convincingly about the costs of the farm. Other things af- fecting agriculture to be discussed at Marion include a permanent tariff. Some of the members of the Grange look askance at the “emergency” character of the present tariff pro- posals. Some of the duties are re- garded as too high and as likely to invite retaliatory tariff wars, while other schedules are considered far too low. ~ KIND OF PROTECTIVE TARIFF THAT FARMERS WANT. “What the farmers ought to have,” eaid §, J, Lowell, President of the Grange, “is a protective tariff that will represent the difference in cost of production here and abroad, and nothing more, I believe the job can be done equitably.” Mr, Lowell said agricultural condly tions throughout the country were discouraging, largely ‘because the cost of labor had not come down, He sald he looked for a drop in labor cost next spring. He declared that while plenty of labor wax in “idleness the { cost wouldn't come down till some of the savings of the prosperous period through which the Nation had passed were exhausted. But that the cost of labor on the farm would come lown | he had no doubt whatsoever. “Labor will come down,” he de- clared emphatically, {because it must | come down, Otherwise the farmer | cannot afford to produce the bi crops needed to feed our immense population.” | Opinions vary among members of the Grange us to the length of the | period necessary for a complete econ- omic readjustment, but there nt to he is bex! much more t more for his dollar sinve {ining to give the consumer foodstuffs for the same | Francisco 35 years ago and obt: in 4} Supreme deo he, an aoguittal of the charge of murder|Gov, Edwards in oust the com onl teed e: pending most of the monvy | missioners for able wed misconduct and he On the slage, ~ neglect in office, ‘ ; gett tt a dei vi Ks waianlabte cak OLD YOR INVLUEN rane oom oe site A NINB ‘tablets are tho wld he enuine y }eoon after and within sixteen hours! etjpten St seven years in prison. “There's the man who beid me up Sunday morning,” said Frank Miller jot No. 314 East 8lst Street to-day to Patrolman Michaes Murphy of Old Slip Station, pointing to a man in Fulton Street.
