Production to et More ‘\\I"!:'I"H Than
Peace. Declares Seeretarv—LU. S. Farmers
Need Not Inerease Crops in Hope of Markets,
By JUSTIN M'GRATH
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 It is a mistake 1o think that wa
uom-hb’lr\l_\ means a deerease in agricultural produetion In the
Balkan countries farm productions increased while the war was
waged. The same was true of the Northern States during our Civil
\\'lT TILPT" i 8 No fl('l"l reason 1o suppose that farm ;,,,,,,L“.‘ on in
the Euronean countries now at war will be lessened during the
coming year even if the war shou d continue through the summer
On the contrary, it is likely that greater attention will be paid and
greater energy applied to agriculture
in those countries during the present
vear"”
I had sought an Interview with
Secretary of Agriculture David
Franklin Houston to ascertain what
he thought of the suggestion that
since the foodstuffs productions of
the warring nations probably would
fall off American farmers might well
be urged to increase their production.
The thought had occurred (o me
that it might be wise for the Ameri
can farmers to grow as big crops as
possible during the coming year, not
only because they would have a better
opportunity than ever before to soll
their products abroad, but because of
the not improbable contingency that
production above the normal home
demand might be vitally necessary to
the United Stales.
Has Deep Insight.
“We have been hearing a lot about
our national defcnses. What are we
doing to improve our food defenses?”
The response of Secretary Houston
to both suggestions wWas flluminating
and instructive, and ought to prove
olllsrm interest to the country gener
ally.
The Secretary is a conservative
man. But his conservatism would
never be confounded with lack of ini
tiative. It is a conservatism which
comes of deep insight Into the prob
lems with which he deals. He cre
ates the impression that he is a man
who is always in mental motion, pbut
who chooses after deliberation the di
rection in which his mental energy
can be applied with the best assur
ance of definite and desirable results.
He has deep-set eyes and a larze
brow, which contracts as he talks, in
dicating @ habit of thinking carefully
hefore speaking.
“The people of Greal Britain, of
France, of Germany and Austria.”
the Secretary <ontinued, “are intelli
gent people. They realize fully, and
narhaps keenly, the importance of an
adequate food supply for the success
ful conduct of the war.
Nearly SQIf-Supporting.
“GGermany and Austria, of the coun
{ries now at war, are nearly self-sup
porting. Germamy has 65,000,000 peo
ple. Probably about 6,000,000 are en
gaged in warfare On account of the
conditions with which Germany 'S
confronted, 1t is reasonable to think
that the German people will apply
themselves to agriculture during the
coming season by planting even to a
areater extent than ever before. The
same is true of Austria. Tt may bhe
that with good seasons both these
countries will show an increased pro
duction of farm products.
“We learn through the Rockefeller
Woundation that only about 450,000
te 500,000 of the people of Belgium
are still in exile from the country.
The ‘rest of her n.illions not engaged
in war are back on Belgian goil, and
the information we get is that many
of them are tilling the sofl.
“The reports from Argentina, India
and China and other wheat-growing
countries indicate that those coun
iries largely will increase their pro
duction. The fall sowing in the
‘[Tnited States increased 11.1 per cent;
so 1 do not think there is any need of
apprehension that the supply of the
world is to fall short during the com
ing vear.
Only Moderate Increase.
«and 1 would not like to take the
responsibility of urging tl.e farmers
of the United States enormously to
increase food production, with the as
surance that they would find a market
for their surplus because of decreased
production in the conntries now at
war. 3
“Now, as to your second sugges
tion,” said the Secretary. “While we
should labor to increase productions
{n all profitable directions, the great
need in the United States, viewed
from the agricultural standpoint, Is
for a balanced agriculture, a diversi
fied production.
“For instance, the South last year
imported from the Western States
nearly $400.000,000 worth of foodstuffs
This great im pprlntion was made nec
try, devotes itself aimost exclusively
to the raising of cotton.
One-Crop Plan Unsound.
‘For any section of the country 1o
confine its agricultural efforts to the
raising of & single crop is economi
cally unsound. This fact has been
borne in on the minds of Southern
planters through conditions brought
about by the war in a more forceful
and convincing fashion than they
could have been made to realize
through argument
“In tRe Northwest the tendency has
been to confine agricultural energy 1o
the raising of wheat. This is just as
economically unsound as it is for the
South to rely for its support upon
cotton.
“But, fortunately for the farmers in
the Northwest, existing conditions are
more favorable for the sale of wheat
at a good price than they are for the
sale of cotton. Consequently the
Northwest's great supply of wheat
has brought unusual prosperity to
that section.
Farming Is Neglected.
“The department and the land grant
colleges, which are its auxiliaries,
realize that in the long run the way
not only to increase farm productions
but also to secure and retain in the
United States a sufficient rural pop
ulation is to attack the whole rural
life problem through its many as
pects.
“Until quite recently the thought of
the people of the United States prin
cipally has been directed toward the
upbuilding of cities. Fvery city in
the United States is trying to rival
some other city. The principal means
of doing this is to build up industry.
Consequently the thought of our peo
ple has been much more directed to
ward the development of industry and
manufactures than it has been to
ward the development of agriculture.
Urtil recent yvears we have been too
largely drifting agriculturally.
“The time has come when this poi
icy of neglecting agricultural life
must be changed. The prosperity of
the country may be said to depend
upon the effecting of this change.
“Both this department and the land
grant colleges are proceeding upon
the theory—which has been proved
by experience to be correct—that
the only way in which agricultural
conditions can be largely changed
and agricultural production increased
is by improving rural life in many
directione.
| Would Improve Conditions.
~ “It can not be done by merely cryv
ing out, ‘Back to the farm.' Nor can
\lt be done by making a few farmers
prosperous, for the first use they
‘would make of their prosperity under
the existing conditions, in all prob
ability, would be to move to the city.
~ “What must be done to keep men
and women on the farms is to make
‘the conditions of living surrounding
them more nearly approximate those
which the people living in cities enjoy
——more effectively to organize rural
activities,”
“And how would you bring about
anything like an equality between
the country sections and the cities in
the respects which you ‘have men
tioned ?” 1 asked.
“Well, one way,”’ said the Secre
tary, “is the construction of more good
roads. Where they have good roads
the communal life of agricultural sec
tions is improved.
Good Roads Are Vital.
“(3ood roads lead to more co-opera
tive endeavors. They lead to better
schoolhouses because where there are
good roads more children can come to
any one given point. And it is then
possible to have a large school with
good teachers rather than a little red
schoolhouse with a single school
teacher. ’

COTTON SHAKY:
CONTRABANDING
DROERS FEARL
MEMPHIR, Feb. 27 ~Uppermost in
the minds of the cotton trade during
the past week has been the matter of
& possibility of the staple being de
ciared contraband and of the menace
to shipments to the countries at war
following the effort of Germany to
blockade British and French ports.
Whether or not the decline in prices
was altogether justified by what real-
Iy happened is not to be determined,
but there is no doubt of its effect on
speculative sentiment. The fact that
exports had reached and passed §,-
000,000 bales, while more than an
other million had already been bought
for export, appeared to be lost sight
of and the trade was concerned over
the possibility of a restriction of fu
ture demand for the same direction.
Traders acted as if the holders In
the belt would be unable to walt for
buyers to reappear, despite the fact
that the South has already sold 12,-
900,000 or more bales of its crop, and
at prices much better than thought
when the season opensad. Weakness
in the stock market and grains re
flecting concern over the foreign sit
uation helped the decline along.
| Advance marine insurance risks and
a demoralized foreign exchange mar
!ke! added to other troubles and facil
}luted the setback to prices. Some
)reselllng was reported by exporters,
’but confirmation for this was lacking
and it was generally discredited by
the best posted people.
~ Another cause of lower prices in
the speculative markets was the cut
ting off of the Liverpool market as a
medium of selling hedges, this due to
the new Federal law putting a pro
