Jardine Foresees Good Times for Agriculturists . "Time Is Near When the Midwest Grain Producers Will ' Join in Sound Marketing Basis. Chicago, III.. Jan. 22. Agrioul-' ture may be distressed, but it is far j from disabled and in the long run will have its measure of prosperity. J said W. M. Jardine, secretary of I agriculture, addressing the annual . meeting of the Illinois Agricultural association here Thursday. "When the tide turns badly against us it but sets in motion those forces which ultimately will swing it in favor again . . he said. "If the cx- jperience of previous generations teach us anything, it is that one o! the best times to buy a farm is when farming seems in .poorest repute." On the farm must be solved a substantial part of the problem of how to assure to agriculture a fair . , t, national income, he thought. , ; . "It is essential to have the bfst possible readjustment of production to maTket requirements, tie eon-; tinued. "Rapid - progress ha beer. mu.de in recent years by public agencies in collecting and disseminat-: ling the necessary information which helps farmers to adjust their pro- ductlon program to the consuming demand to give them great advan tage in his planning. "It is essential to have the utmost efficiency in farm operation. On one side of 'a line fence is a man who organizes his business expertly who plans ahead, who-, uses bis labor to advantage, wto.gets. hish yield from his fields and animals. On the other side of the fence his neigh bor may worry along on a haphaz ard basis; his. crop yields below par. his livestock more of a liability than an. asset. There ii no formula under the sun that can guarantee the well being of' the inefficient producer." The second angle of approch to the problem he termed the .publ;'; angle, which must - function when the individual farmer has put his! house in order. The case of agri- culture mu9t be understood in terms of national welfare rather than mere-1 ly partisan gain. In a program lor improvement, of, the fundamental" agriculture sltua-' tion.

POLLOCK BRIDGE r .71 ir ' J pst v -t &f - Wallace Has Four Plan: on Farm Relief "Cut Production; Abolish Tariff; Ex port Program or Just Hope for the Best" He Says. Dps Moines. Ia., Jan. 20. In a comprehensive survey of the problem confronting agriculture, Henry A. WnHnfd Tlr.a fninr n ptImiI 1 11 ro mae- jazine editor, outlined four methods !of handling the situation in addross- ! in o- ?ir f'i rm Tiiin ilcnlers of Iowa here toi'av 1 it is' ",,' to the intelligent citizen ! to vU. miJ thp host of tne four Wiys Mr. Wallace assorted, as introductory .tn his outline of the four methods whi It he considered feasible, Those are: Cutting production of the United States: adoption of some form of export plan which will en able the farmers to soil their surplus ;'t tho foreign price level and the home consumption at the domestic price level and segregating the sur plus -vo that it docs not influence the domestic- market, and the fourth to l t matters rest in the hope that the city population will eventually reach a point where it will use up the surplus products now produced. "G. 0. P. Stumped" "Previous to the farm bureau meeting at. Chicago. Mr. Wallace said, "the republican administration. unable to face the situation square ly. had unconsciously accepted the fourth solution with certain addi tions. 'Not understanding the postwar reversal in European trade balances, they preferred to say that agricul tural prosperity was just around the corner." Reviewing the result of this atti tude and the reaction from President Coolidge's suggestions made before the farm bureau that co-operation and cheap ami extensive credits offer a solution of the problem. Mr. Wal lace said: "The American Farm Bureau in effect told President Coolidge that such remedies, while tine in them selves, were insufficient. President Coolidge and Secretary Jardine un derstood the language, and both now are willing to grant there is. an ex port problem. How far th?y are will ing to go. remains to be seen." Has Hope in Committee Wallace expressed the hope that the agricultural question v. ill be con sidered by congress from-a non-par-tisun standpoint, and that it will not become the football of politics. As viewed by Mr. Wallace, the greatest' pro.poet of relief for the farmer lies' in Hue -wort' of - the, com-. miUee appointed .t the Des Moines meeting December 22, when the lead ing farm organizations of "the west gathered. "I feel that this committee is true absolutely to the :armer's interest, and that the men on it have been thinking about the export surplus problem. If wo can trust to the wisdom of the men on this commit tee and get solidly behind them .in whatever they present to congress, we will swing cipher the adminis tration or the democratic south or both into line. If we do strike vigor ously and intelligently, victory will be ours. Concluding, Mr. Wallace express ed his belief that whatever plan is adopted, the dawn of a new era of prosperity for the farmer is not more than 15 or 20 years in the future. ! UNION WOMEN ASK PRESIDENT'S AID Washington. Jan. 22. Denounc ing the "equal-rights" campaign as a hostile lassault by the national women's party upon the humane labor laws now employed byemfw labor laws now enjoyed by women, a delegation of prominent trade unionists Thursady informed Presi dent Coolidge of the bitter fight within the women's industrial con ference. A delegation of 27 women promi nent in local unions of the Ameri can Federation of Labor appealed to the president to throw his con tinued support to 4 8-hour laws and similiar legislation effecting wages, hours and working conditions which have been passed in recognition of women's physical inferiority in in dustry. President Coolidge reminded them that when governor of Massachu setts he had signed the 4S-hour law. The women assumed from his state ments that he is enthusiastically, in terested in their efforts.
