You have heard a great deal about the problems of reconstruction that are pressing for solution. Hut, like most men, you have probably thought of them as tremendously big problems that had to he solved, nationally and internationally, by statesmen and diplomats and high executives. They are. that.?but not just that. Every man*?certainly ev.ei-y farmer?has a onconstruction problem all his own. The war unbalanced the agriculture of. the United States by unbalancing tile- agriculture of individual farms. There had to be produce*! the kind of food that could be transported over seas. Wheat is preeminently that kind of food, and other grain crops are to an extent such. Very many farms, therefore, got too heavy on the side of tilled and cereal crops and too light on the side of hay crops and pasture. Many farmers increased their tilled and cereal crops beyond what they had any basis of experience in carrying. Labor requirements were increased. Rotation practices were interferred with. To the extent that the wheat acreage was increased, the climatic hazard was increased, because, under the extensive farm practice that characterizes American agriculture, wheat is a crop that is very sensitive to climatic uncertainty. Shich a practice long continued was likely to result, therefore, not in in^ creased food production at all, but in actually reduced food production. In the long1 )'un, that would be the inevil able result. Even, if by some .miracle, the hazard of weather could he escaped, the. practice would reduce soil fertility until yields would he g-rcatly cut down. Hut, before that even meat production would be harmfully reduced. For it is as true physically as spiritually that man does not live by bread alone. Very largely, he lives by meat. And meat animals? and milk animals?do not grow or grain alone. Most largely, tl'.ey grov and produce on green grass and drj grass?pasture and hay. Return to Sound Farming. Thes : aiv- some of the reason wlr the United Stales Department of Agi culture urging, almost inmedi to! after the signing of the armistice an continuously since, a return to souiv agricultural practice?returning t pasture and hay tots, to clover an other fertiliser-fixing crops some o of the land that had boon utod fo grain during tutx war emergency. Th /* sjuggoation has been crilcised froi flume (|.uartec*it> bee. use in som <f?arters it has been misunderstood. Specifically,, the department it con mended that- it was- not advisable t underUdce to maintain the \vhe< acreage sown for the crop of 191 That did not imply that the depar ment urged a smaller food productic in the country.

But it is not more impor- 1 (ant to the farmer than it is to the < city man. It has to do just as much 1 with reducing the high cost of living ! as with reducing the high labor re- i qui re merits and the fertility-draining | practice of farming. i Wheat officials of the Depart- < ment of Agriculture point out, does 1 not key the cost of living. It is merely < one of a numbcbr of coordinate elc- < ments. "One honest John Tompkins, a hed- i gcr and .ditcher," that perfectly con- r tented the man whose praises are i sung in the old verse, had a habit of | saying, "If I can get mact, I can . surely get bread." Maybe his reason \ ing was faulty. But it was not a bit more faulty than that of some busi- , ness and industrial leaders who say, by inference, "If we can get bread, we can surely get meat." Lack of pastures is a serious handicap to production of low-cost milk. The man does not live who can pro duce beef economically without pasture. And, just as surely, the man does not live who can produce low-cost pork without pasture. Milk! Beef! Pork! Is there a more important item in the high cost of living than these? Plenty of Feed for Live Stock. And so the United States Department of Agriculture, for the good of J everybody concerned, continues to urge the sort of safe and sane agriculture that x>rovide? plenty of pasture and plenty of hay?which means providing plenty of meat and milk. The farmer,, unless he chose to head straight for bankruptcy could not think of maintaining a wheat ' acreage equal to that sown for the 1919. crop. With decreased man 1 power?and farm labor appears lo be ' just as hard to find now as it was luring the war?farmers cannot maintain a materially larger acreage of tilled and cereal crops than they | did with larger man power several i years ago. If they should undertake ( it as a permanent policy, city faml- ( lies would not only have less meat and milk than they a re' accustomed to, but they would actually hare less bread, ..i aiau. War needs caused the plowing up I of many pastures that, under peace time conditions, are worth more in the economy of the farm in pasture l 01 hay than in cereal or tilled crops, i Some of them are back in grass now. ; There arc others that should go back 1 How's This ? r We offer |100.(X) for any case of catarrh I that cannot be cured by HALL'S ?

Specialists of the Departnent of Agriculture suggest that ev:ry farmer, during the winter when tie has leisure to lay his plans carefully, work out his own problems of reconstruction, make his plans "for planting the kind of crops next spring that will enable him, if not at nice then as soon as possible, to put lis farm back on its proper basis of iiversification and rotation. His county agent and his State college of agriculture are ready to help him at .\ny point wherc^ he may need help. Fhe United States Department of Agriculture is ready to advise him on practically any phase of the matter, A great deal of thought has been ;*iven to the subject.

The State Department took the position, however, that these were separate questions and must be dealt with separately, the United States carrying out its obligation to return the German ships over to the British. Under the Versailles treaty, final decision as to the titles of all caft requisitioned from German harbors after the armistice rests with the reparations commission. The present dispute, both as to the passenger "vessels and to the tankers, it was assorted, cannot be considered as definitely settled, the present disposition being only temporary.
