HIGH STANDARD FOR
THE FEW
The people at the United States,
we suspect, desire reasonable pros
perity and would willingly adopt the
methods that seem certain to sua
stain it
Consequently, we have been inter
ested in economic problems connect
ed with national well-being. Natur
ally, we have read much of the in
dustrial production that "raised the
American standards of living to a
level which made those standards the
envy of every other nations."
The question in our minds has been
whether that standard of living has
been available to all the people of the
United States rather than a proud
possession of a favored group of in
dustrial workers. Plainly, among
our agricultural population no such
standard has existed at any time,
even in the periods of our vaunted
national prosperity.
FARM PROSPERITY
NECESSARY
There are many people in the Un
ited States who, without knowing the
facts, jump to the conclusion that
because the income of agriculture has
been increased by approximately
eight per cent, in the past seven
years, there is no necessity for fur
ther steps to improve the financial
condition of agriculture in this coun
try.
The basic fundamental fact in con
nection with the farm problem is
succinctly stated by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, who recently
told the House Committee on Agri
culture that while agriculture has
approximately twenty-four per cent,
of the population of this country and
thirty-one per cent, of our children,
it receives only about eleven per cent,
of the national income
Realization of the full import of
these figures should convince anyone
that the plight of agriculture repre
sents a serious economic disorder in
the United States hut that die social
implications are fraught with more
danger to the stability of the coun
try.
It is quite true that the prices for
cotton, wheat, corn, hogs and other
farm products have increased en
couragingly from the low prices oi
the depression, bat it should not b?
forgotten that these prices have beer
secured, in pert, by curtailed pro
duction of the natinal farm plant
Until farmers of the nation can se
cure fair prices for the full productive
capacity of American agriculture, the
farm problem will continue to plagui
the nation.

j, GO TO CHURCH ]
?fc-'fpyy*
The chief task fenvolved upon
the leaden of Christian forces to
day is, keeping the spiritual cur
rents going in the lives of church
people. It is to be regretted how
ever, that this is necessary, for
those who have gone to the altars
of the church and taken up them
selves personal moral obligations,
should become leaders in the cause
of righteousness instead of becom
ing a problem to the church. We
are facing the problem today of
keeping the church people from
losing Christ This problem Is
most serious in the lives of those
who do not attend church wor
ship. If we would be alive to
Christ and His cause, it is impera
tive that we attend the worship
services of our church.
