If We scatter fire now we are likely to mlas tho mark. c* ft I vm Favor Hally, The hill la gaining strength every day. Its opponents are admitting this, and many of the new converts are from business Itaelf. Many « business man who dubbed the bill •Artificial economic*'’ ha* finally Understood that what tha farmer* are a*klng for I* no more "artlfl ehl" than the tariff which worka fbr lndu*try, the limitation of Im migration which work* for labor, railroad legislation which work* for tbe railroad*, patent laws and ape rial enactment* of congress of one hind or another. They begin to see that it I* a rather selfish atti tude to maintain that the other class of our national life may have these very protective legislative enact ment* and yet withhold them from agriculture. They nlso begin to ad mit the Juatlc* In the demand which agriculture I* making. When the Mil wa* first Introduced there wa* a great deal of misinformation broadcast; very much of It willfully misinformed. Agriculture In thl* bill I* not asking for anything more than to be able to get a price for what It produce* which wMf permit It to purchase with.Uie money which tt receive* «• many commodltlea a* Ifelld back In the prewar day*, from v etM.7 to 1913. If farmer* had thla purchasing power today they would get about 50 cent* a bushel more for their wheat, 10 cent* more for their corn, $3.33 per hundredweight more for heavy hogs, $1,17 more for cattle and $1,03 more for sheep, Thl* Increased purchasing power would go a long way toward a**ur Ing continued prosperity tn Oil* country and would ameliorate the condition* which are bound to follow wjicn w* have caught tip with tbe demand for building in the cities, on the railroads and elsewhere, “Kidding’' Must tense. Thoe# who atilt Jiold out the claim that the JfcMary-Haugen bill I* •'dangerous legislation,” ‘Visas leg islation,” etc., unfortunately for them, nr# In the position of claim ing that agriculture should not be given a purchasing power at a par ity with what It was before fh* war, that they are unwilling that earl culture should even enjoy the rates of exchange with our products which would give them the necessi ties of life, the geme as It did for the period 1905-M. It Is difficult (o conceive anyone with such a nar row, biased point of vlenf'that they arc unwilling to erect the ma chinery necessary to bring thl* con dition about. W« have been kid ding ourselves for the half decade alma the w»r, saying that agrlcul tural condition* would become hat tef next year. I aay, “kidding our satves," for that Is exactly what w# have done, conditions have not Improved. They are worse now than they were laat year from an agricultural standpoint. Industry, labor *nd capital cannot afford to w*!t Idly by and see agriculture be Fctft!** *o decadent that It will he Impossible to revive It. Neither can fhay prey upon agriculture, sapping Its very Ufa blood, without disas trous consequence* to them»elve/i. Unearned Increment I'aat. The day of unearned Increment on farm land aecma to be passed. I eni no prophet, hut 1 do not look fog an In'reasa In the value of farm lands, and alnce that element which hen been stMtl a large one In the profitableness of farming for many years la eliminated, agriculture finds Iha stork necessity of paying a suf ficient dividend on the Investment to moke the undertaking profitable. For long years past, agriculture be* derived a goodly part of Its In ge*)* through enhanced value of the >ivan real estate. Farmers possibly could afford to Just break even In tnelr farming operations, and hun dreds of thousands of them did no better than thla. They made their money from the Increased value of land Thus, With that equation no longer a factor In farming In most, localities today, a different point of -view must necessarily prevail. I mention thla because agriculture la In • decadent position with all thesa artificial barriers eracted against If. If agriculture la forced to t-oti to compete with the peone of j*>Kurope we may look for a rapid decadency and this will be «<■'• om pghfed by an undermining of the strength of the nation Itself. Hill Is ftlmple. The changes In the life of the cities sine* the war have Men euf fielentlv disturbing, so that w* can ndt afford *o tamper with the warp eg well te the woof of the nation.

One of the most Interesting and Instructive floats of the 19?3 pageant was entered by the dairy husbandry de partment, showing In a graphic manner the amount of milk produced by a champion university cow In one year. The alxth annual Fnrmera’ fitlr, the funfeat and gain day of tha college of agriculture of the University of Nebraaka, will be held on May 3. It la an event erttlrely aupervlaed by atudenta. One would erarrejy believe It poa alble for atudenta ao buay with unlver ally work to put over an undertaking Involving ao much forethought, time and effort. It la beautiful, artlatlc and educational. Every atudent haa an aaalgneri duty to perform. The tru* cornhuaker aplrlt with which theae taaka are fulfilled baa made It poaalhl* to give a fair of real merit. The fair waa eatahllatied to adver tlae the college of agriculture. It waa founded with the belief that It would atlmulate a aplrlt of good will among tha atudenta, and to promote atudent actlVltlea to effect an outlet for the vartou* Ideaa and talent*. Exhibit* on Midway. All exhibit* will ba dlaplayed In the midway thla year. Educational ex hltdta, Including many demonatra tlona, will be atr»aa<-d more than ever. The nnlpinl huabandry dlaplny prom lees to be Intereellng. Home econom ics Is to present a beautiful and prac tical display of student made prod ucts. The agronomy department will ex hibit, as will the entomologists with their array of curious end colorful bugs, beetles and cockroaches. The horticulture department promises a display of fruits, vegetables and orna mentals. The poultry department Will have products for public Inspection. From the dairy department an un usual exhibit is coming. The purpose of euch extensive preparations Is to show what the col lege of agriculture etudents ha\e ac complished during the year.. Kntertalnments. The Hprlngem Fasts shows will erect their arnusemente on the mid way ngnln this year. This company Includes thn Hnorpbeum, the Cornfield Follies snd the famous Jal Oleeon minstrels. Among the side shows, which ere engaged to take care of the overflow crowde, are "Blue Beard," Monte Carlo and tho African JJlp. There will lie new riding devices [ ready fur service on the day of the fair. The engineering department has marfc It possible to Introduce "The Wild Cat." It Is possible for Ih# college to put on a real wild west show every year because many of the young men at tending here have been born and raised In the west and know how to ride. Special horses that have never had a man on their backs will be tackled by these men. The Kansas Aggie* baseball nine will meet the Cornhusker nine a* a special feature of the fair. Mualo for the parade and on the fair grounds will tie furnished by three hands, and two orchestras will furnish bewitching strains for the dances. JJeuutlful, artistic, original and f harming, that la the description that fits the pageant. Time and money are being spent lavishly In or der to present a pageant of auch beauty ns to make It the most charm ing affair of the festival. The parade, always headed by that beautiful float, "The fjoddes* of Agri culture," will I* a mil# long. The department floats will follow. are enough to rale* havoa even with agriculture Itxelf, The M<Nury-l faugen bill I* not xo complicated aa aoin* people would make out. To admit that you can not underatnrid how th* bill would operate la to convey to groaa Ignor ance or lark of mentality. Never theleea, m* etatement frequently I* heard, and where It I* uttered fre. quently, It I* done for tha purpoa* of befogging the f»»ue, The bill, atrlpped of detail#, haa two power*: Klrat, It determine* what money price* for agricultural product* xhould tie In order to equal In pur i Imxlng power the price received by the farmer for the #*mn product* during prrwar year#, Kor example, If five buahela of wheat would buy % pair of ahoc* of a eertaln quality before the war, the bill determine* a price for five buahela of wheat which will purchnaa the name pair of ahoe* at the preaent time Hecomlly, having determined thexe fair price*, the bill provide* a. buy ing corporation to go Into the mar ket at any time and maintain th# market bv purehaalng at, the deter mined price. Thlx la not arbitrary price-fixing, but merely the Inaur anc# of farm commodity price# equal In exchange vain# with the price of manufactured and other product#. Then there la provlalon for the malntename of tariff* on th# af fected prodtlet# at a. point, high enough to proteit the enhanced prb-ea from foreign competition. The hill propnax* to mak* the tariff wall affective for agriculture an that through a government ag'ney tha exportable aut pin* which depraaae# our horn* market* may be ahlpped abroad and whatever amount of money le loat In th# tranaartlon will b# allocated back to th# entire crop, tbua affording u* a contlnuoua higher domaatlc market and permitting agriculture to pro*per on a parity with other national group* when conaldered In tha light of condition* aa they war* for 16 ye*i a prior to th# war. Th* various *t*p* Involved, With out going Into too munli detail, in tha MrNary Haugen bill would be ae follow*: ta) Creation of an export com mlaelon, operating en export rnr poratlon with certain enumerated power*, ft>) Power lodged with th# preek dent, on advbe of the com mission, to eatebllah adequate tariff on agrl cultural commodities sufficient to restore prices to their prewar re latlonshlp with th# geriernl price level.
