The farmers and their families have wrestled with weeds, floods, drouth, disaster " and disease for years to produce all the choicest food that consumers wanted at prices almost as cheap as dirt. They have been forced to wear b out their lands, keep their children in S the field instead of school, and have d known little of the comforts and lux- I uries of life. Now that the price of farm pro1 1 ? ? nninf OmCu\ C1UCIS iuu> reatucu a pvm> ..^ 0 ? farmers can see light and have a chance to enjoy some of the comforts of life, town and city people are sending up a mighty howl over the cost of food. t Those who are making the most ? noise over the price of food seem to think that the farmer must bestir j himself to grow enormous quantities t of sixty-cent wheat, forty-cent corn, j five-cent cattle, four-cent hogs and . other food products on the same basis, t They seem to think that it is the duty of farmers and their families to , produce large quantities of food to , sell below the cost of production. The most progressive farmers will continue to make use of all the prac- ? tical knowledge and assistance the ? agricultural colleges, experiment sta- , tions, county agents and farn. oapers , can give to enable them Co grow large crops. These men will increase , the fertility of the soils, plant the y most prolific seed, fertilize liberally, , use strong teams or tractors and la- , bor-saving implements and machinery , to supply the needs of the world for { food; but they will demand cost of J production plus a fair profit They , are no longer willing to keep their , children out of school and toil from < [twelve to fourteen hours per day for J a mere existence. They are unwilling j to work longer hours than town peo- < pie, and they demand the same edu- j cational advantages and the same j comforts in their home.?The Pro- ^ gressive Farmer. o Silver now is worth nearly five cents an ounce more as metal than it is as coin.
