TIRED OF BACKGROUND. Farmer Wants Same Consideration as the City Worker. American Agriculturist. Speaking for the 125,000 members of the New York state grange in re gard to cost of living the following statement has been issued by S. J. Lowell, state master and W. N. Giles, state secretary: The first factor in a happy life is three meals every day. The next is adequate clothing and housing to keep the body warm. After these come the minor necessities which are more easi ly privided. What has brought so suddenly Into prominence the food and clothing prob lem? The war, to be sure, but it has only hastened what every thinking ai riculturist has seen for years was surely coining;: that is that the rural dweller was not receiving the support and ecliouragenient which his urban brother so easily obtained. We mean by this that better schools, better cliuirehes. better hoies, short er hoturs. better Wat for work under more favorale conditions have had the re sult of drawing froill the cotntry its pollillationl to an alarming degree. Now, instead of going into a sttidy of our sitiation and develoiing a reiedy of conditions. oil laboring brolters of thf city pliropose to remedy otr' troible Iy arbiltrary measures without Any ia! koloevIrdtI e of Ihe cest of Ihe noec ssarios of lifeli.

All druggist 21? contsa at $1.50, which was then a high wage, paid for 25 quarts of milk. Today the farmer receives eight cents and trans portation and distribution receive eight cents, the consumer paying 16 cents. One day's pay for labor at $5 a day buys 3-1 quarts of milk. When wool was 30 'cents a pound, allowing four pounds for a suit of clothes, the farmer received for the product $1.25. Figuring the cost of a suit of clothes at $20, 13 days' labor at $1.50 paid for a suit. Today wool is 65 cents a Ipound, four pounds bring ing $2.60, the amount received by the farmer. The same suit of clothes is now $40, and the laborer can obtain a suit by eight days of labor at $5 a day. The comparison will hold with every farm product. In view of these facts, if agriculture is to be preserved and the world fed, an economic adjustment must be made. May we call the attention of the city dweller to two facts: The farmer does not have to strike; he nn not be discharged. No farmer ever did strike. The statement that the Dairymen's league went on a strike is not true. Not a man quit his job; every man milked his cow and the iimilk weit into food as usual. No, we do not strike.
