FARMING MUST BE MORE ATTRACTIVE AND PROFITABLE I mmmmmmrn* ? "? t >v-^ v. ? ? FARMERS SHOULD WAKE I fj|if There Must Be ? Closer Co-op eration and Understanding Among Fanners The chief factor in making agriucl ture permanent is that the social, ed ucational, recrational, and businss op iportanitifs shall equal those of the I city or town. Farming most become sufficiently profitable that the farmer can reasonably expect to amass as much wealth as his fellows in the ci- I ty. If this opportunity does not ex ist the number farmers Vri]l continue to decrease and the type of men left in this industry will not equal those ] that hare brought the American Far mer to his present high status of lead ing the globe from the standpoint of per capita'output. Progressive evo lution in agriculture probably means that the unit of production must de velop efficiently to make a special isation in labor possible that will com pare favorably with that of other indu stories* [ The farmer's life offers the great est opportunity for expression of in dividuality that exists in any voca tion. Matters of personality of effi ciency, and of organising and business 'ability am mere directly expressed in the returns he receives and in the di rect wnie of accompliahment he ex perience* that in any othr lino of en deavor. The man who i* alert, quick, wide-awake and observant, is more completely appreciated than in any othr industry, for he must discover hia needs and gain his rewards> thru close association with each of the man ifold phases of Nature. There is no one tb tell him the things to do ex cept himself, and his direct measure of his own results are the chief est of his rewards. Nevertheless niany improvements in the boustyig and social conditions of the farm must take place. The stan dards of the eity with its home con veniencea and labor-saving devices must be made available to the house wife and her family, their need for companionship must be met by im proved social conditions. The war developed a very fallacious argument in many branches of indus try thrpugh the assurance of cost of {production plus a certain profit on 'government war contracts. It has giv en many industries, not excluding farming, the idea that they are enti tied to a profit on everything they do regardleea of their efficiency or the demand for their product. The old 'economic fact that profits do not 'come uideas a demand for products exisits is ignored. i It is only, by treating agriculture aa a national industry run along strict ly business lines, that the necessary profits wi]l be assured. The growing Hf crops must be co-ordinated with the demands for farm produce, Just as manufacturing concern adjusts its output to the growth of its sales or ganisation. The great disadvantage is the agriculture is organised on the ?nail unit basis, but with* the proper study of the problem, and with s con stantly growing intelligence among farmers, organisation will bo as feaa Ible as anywhere in our citixenship. Farmers will then confer oftener with {the industries no closely related td their basin ms and understand the problem* aa a whole ratter than mere ly aa the problems of the farmer. ?
