NO one with my well wishes for the welfare of that great
body of American citizens engaged in the most essential
'industry of Agriculture can "welcome the tremendous decline
III commodity prices. " " .
. It is EiSlI wonder that "Governor Reed of Kansas tele
graphs the Federal Firm board chairman, Mr. Lege, that
"Kansas is facing' s catastrophe. Thousands of wheat grow
ers are facing disasterjbecause of the necessity to $art with
their crop at a. price below the coat of production.'
- A great group of producers losing money, facing bank
ruptcy, is alarming and disquieting, to say the least. . v
But the inexorable laws of supply and demand, of sur
vival of the fittest, grind incessantly if albeit cruelly.
We seriously doubt that the proposals of Governor Reed
that "the farm board purchase 25,000,000 bushels more
wheat at current orices and then. announce that the whole
period" would avail for any length of tune. It would be like
giving dope to a patient; the day-dreams would be pleasant
ut the habit formed would be in time self-destructive.'
. For curealls in thincrs economic are as impossible as In
things physical. When a part of the human body 1 out of
order, pain is sure to ensue and dope only covers, it never

eliminates pain, wnen wneai is ovprpruuuceu, wii.uuuiuuj
a portion from the market is paving the way for disaster.
Much as we would like to encourage such newspapers
vas the Pendleton East-Qregonian in their rep?ated demands
for a nation-wide marketing plan to hold up commodity
prices at home and to dump the surplus, abroad, we doubt its
economic feasibility and think the "cure" would eventually
.kill the patient. ;

cost are sound when well managed. Realiza
tion of. the plight of farming generally makes proper the
enormous, advances of cheap money made to the farming in
dustry by the federal government. No fair-minded states
man can object to rapid changes in local and state taxation
systems to take the burden from land where it no longer
should" rest and make other forms of wealth contribute a
rateable 'proportion of tax. Cheaper, more-efficient means
of farm production should be universally available for the
thrifty, ambitious producer so he may parallel the success
ful manufacturer in reducing tne unit cose pi every proauct
. he raises. ;;v--.r -. ' - ' ' ,r
But price-fixing on such international commodities as
cotton, and wheat and is variance with law smore inexor
able than those of the United States congress. For example
when there is over-production of lumber the only way out is
to cut production or to tnerease consumption or Dener, xo ao

, lit every mill in the country should $ake the every tenth
board cut and' burn it, it would not be long until every fifth
board would have to be destroyed, then every third until we
would be harvesting enormous crops of timber. V"
If the dictum of economics in days of low. commodity
prices Is a harsh verdict, at least for those courageous and
thrifty men in the industry there is some hope The more
carefully financed farmer, the man diversified as much as
possible to bulwark a low commodity price in one group, the
man nlayinsr the same over a five ox ten-year period instead
of from year to year, can see
businesses, the race is long and
aging. .Yet the most essential industry of all is farming, for
it is the first-line of production. The fact intelligent farm
ers are concerned aBbut present-day problems, and are being
forced to use every sound, sometimes unsound methods of
solution; indicates that agriculture is going through the tra
vail essential to an progress.

She tried ta rind hex answer to
this Questloa in Brander . face;
she began to study tla daCy, he
perceived the strength of .the man,
his . pels and assurance. Brander
was very.-eure t himself and of
his ca;abIt!es, wltheut . ta the
least overrating' them. He knew
himself for a man: he eore him
self as a man. Faith respected
him: without her realizing it, this
respect and liking grew. k
Unconsciously Brander was
ranked now and then - -In - her
ttiststtf lesUs neTansband,lton
Wing; she compared the ttre taea
without being willing to make the
comparison. -And in the process,
she studied Noll Wing more close
ly than she had ever studied him
before.
It was at this time that she
first marked the fact that Noll
was shrinking, wasting the flesh
from his bones. 1 His skin was be
coming loose; It sagged. His great
chest was drawing in between his
shoulders: his shoulders slumped
forward. Also Faith saw, without
understanding, that the great
cords of his, neck were beginning
to stand out under the loose skin,,
that hollows were forming about
them. The man's bull neck was
melting away. Faith saw. though
she did not fully understand; she
knew that NoU was aging, noth
ing more.
She was drawn to Noll, at this
discovery, by a vast tenderness;
but this tenderness was imper
sonal. She thought it a recrudes
cence ot her old. strong love for
the man; It was in fact only such
a feeling as she might have naa
tor a sick or wounded beast She
pttld Noll "profoundly she tried
to make him happy and comfort
able. She sought now and then,
to woo him to cheerfulness and
mirth.
Bat Noll was shrinking, day by
day. Into a more confirmed habit
ot complaint; he whined con
stantly, where in the old days he
would have stormed and com
manded. And he resented Faith's
attention, resented her very pres
ence about him. One day she went
into tbe galley and prepared a
dish she thought would please
him; when she told him what she
had done, he exclaimed:
"God's sake, Faith, quit fuss
ing over me I X got along more 'n
twenty years without a woman.
Faith would not let herself feel
the hurt of this. But even while
aha watched over NOU. Branaer

thoughts. Her recognition of this
tact led her to be the more atten
