To Think A
The threatened curtailment of foreign mar
kets by undeclared war in the Orient and the
big surpluses of crops at home are giving the
Constitution lovers something to think about
just now. Quite a few of those who looked up
on the Supreme Court as a direct agency of the
Almighty are now beginning to realize that
fans crop control, a measure outlawed by the
high court to the great delight of the conserva
tives, may. after all. furnish a means to pre
vent costly expansions of the last wartime era
Still there are those who advance efficiency
planning to the last word in having their own
manufactures kept in line with demand and yet
are willing for a haphazard method to continue
for equalizing the production of crops with de
They are the folks who advise fanners to
plant every foot of ground to this crop and that
crop, explaining that it is their patriotic duty
to help the country in time of war. And so it is.
no doubt. But where do those advisors go when
the farmer wakes up and finds himself buried
?ndv a surplus of his own handiwork? Where
are those advisors when markets are depressed
and the farmer is faced with starvation prices'*
They just hibernate while debt chases the
farmer from his home and millions face starva
tion. not because of a food shortage but rather
because agriculture was bankrupted by a faulty
system and the entire economic order was
pushed out of time.
A strict control system is not without its
faults, but they are minor compared with those
of the haphazard ;
turr all
advanea a system any better, or if they can al
ter the control plan itself, they will have the
of the fanner. Bat aatil they do ad
a better system or offer chances in the
control plan that will prove workable, then let
agriculture. If they cant bete, then let them at
least not hinder.
Editor John Gold, writing in his Wilson Daily
Times, says:
"North Carolina farmers have I
for protection against declining |
and they are just in their
the very good reason that if the .
neae war lasts as long as expected, with the vig
orous defense put up by the Chow sr. the dimin
ishing consumption of cotton and the interfer
ence with trade and export means that cotton
may decline to a very low figure, without gov
ernmental support
With a 16,000,000-bale crop, and the poor de
mand already for American cotton, except at
the very low figures that are being set by Japan
to conform to the buying power of the Chinese
and the nation's standard, protection is essen
tial to prevent an utter demolition of prices
which would absolutely destiuj all the profits
that the southern cotton farmer could reason,
ably expect to anticipate.
"The market is in that condition now which
awaits action by the government, and but for
that expectancy there is no telling where the
price would decline to.
Our farmers had better be careful how they
figure on next year's tobacco crop. China is a
large buyer of American tobacco, and this crop,
on account of the late tobacco, is going to nave
considerable poor stuff in it. and the low grades
go to China and the far East, and the war over
there is not going to help sustain prices. ~
An Ideal Family Man
What is an ideal family man? Three men at
the Oregon State College attempted an an
swer. Each confessing that his conclusions
were based on his own family experience with
one wife and two children, they recently con
ducted a panel discussion and presented as a
result these specifications;?
1. The ideal family man
time for his family?quality
is long in quantity or not.
2. He is unselfish enough to n^nrl the
wishes of the rest of the family, whether on a
drive or in selection of a radio program.
3. He is even-tempered enough so that he at
least refrains from getting "mad" at the same
time his wife does.
4. He keeps up with the world, both as to
current events and modern thought.
5. And?a most important characteristic ?
he has a sense of humor. ? The Progressive
Farmer. ?'>k. - gflj

Good Times Again
It's queer, but a man is apt to think
most of saving when he's least able to
save.
When money comes easy, and he
can save most, he's liable to forget it. So
this is a gentle reminder. When you
earn most save your utmost. Profit by
the past?save for the future.
