T. Hughes for The Spokesman. Washington, D. C, Jan. 11. The American tanner never strik Paradoxically, he is on strike now. Hut it's a strike that he has not "called, that 1 has been forced on him. It's no riddle at all. The farmer's strike is a buy doesn't buy for the plain, simple reason that he can't. And because the more (ban THIRTEEN MILLION tunning families in Hie United States cannot buy, the buMhtesa ol the whole country la rafferiiiK. What's goint; to be done about it? Well, the great financiers of the country are beginning to see that the farmer must have money so that he can go to the stores and the factorii and big dealers and buy goods. They are beginning to see that there will be no prosperity for themselves and for manufacturers and bualai H men generally until the members of those THIRTEEN Mil. LION Catullief Can buy the necessities, and more. They are beginning o wake up to Ibe iaet that ckMed factories anil idle WOfklngmen ill the ci(iee are onl) an effect of the Inability of the fanning folks to buy tlm? products of sliojie ami of mechanical labor. The government is beginning to see it, too, as witness the loaning of tens of millions by the V. S. War Finance Corporation to hundreds of country banks for the sole purpose of lending thai money cheaply to farmers. As witness Pres. Harding's urgent advice to congress to gel busy. And so, in New York and Washington, 1 find captains of finance and captains of government PUTTING THEIR HEADS TOGETHER TO FIND TI1L' WAY OI T. The farmer is on a forced buying strike, but he never strik work. He is always producing- always year in and year times or bad, good weather or bad, even though le knows th lose money on his crops. This winter he is losing I-TVK MU.ION.S Of DOLLA1 things he produced in toil and sweat. . THE PURCHASING ILUE l-' Ills DOLI.AR IS ol.V ;;s i KNTHI He must spend SJ2.59 for the necessities lie bought in I'J i 3 for $1, or 159 per cent more. The year before the war he got 70 cents a bushel for his corn: now he gets about 40 cents. But ANO HERE'S THE BRUTAL RUB before the war he paid $5.75 a ton for his coal ton the average.) This winter he pays about $15.00 a ton. So the purchasing value in coal of the 40 cents he gets this winter lor his corn, is only about 21 or 22 cents. Before the war, the farmer got $7.fi0 per hundred pounds for his boj now he gets about $7.20. For a wagon to haul the hogs to the railroad, he paid $77 in 1913--and here's that dirty rub again now he pays $145 to $150 for the same wagon! The cotton farmer, it is true, ge where he got $26 before the war are small farmers raising only a fe tight, fluffy stuff to make 100 pi raise do him when he has to pay he did before the war- must pay sand pounds of that same light I could cite instance after i everyt hint; the farmer produces, and buys Look at the table that accompanies th in figures. Then look at the pictures and see what to working and sweating to produce the necessities for a h lions of people. Now, what is your congress going to do to change th What is the country going to do to start the farmer buying again and return prosperity not only to him but to all bm in s:-: and all workingmen? That's a qut-sfion that must be answered during the next three months From all I can hear down here in Washington the are going to do some thing. Just what, it is hard to say at this writing.

"Watch us Grow" might well be ihe slogan of the 2,537 cows in cow testing association work in Oregon during November, since the increased average production was 104 pounds of milk and 2.46 pounds of fat over the average for November a year earlier. The average yield of milk was 571.23 pounds and of fat 27 Vi pounds almost one pound a day in the late fall month. The Rogue River association hards itftde tlie highest association average -84.66 pounds of Tat as compared with the total average of 27 pounds. Tillamook had the largest numbei of cows 1040 the most honor COWS giving more than 40 pounds of I'al 104 and the highest individu al cow, PrindesB, a registered llols tein, giving 2,737 pounds of milk with 84.85 pounds of fat well on to 8 pounds a day. The highest grade cow was Butler c'. AlcEnt ire's Rose, a grade Jersey, making a record of 75.5 pounds of fat. The big gain in production, which represents almost clear profit to the owners, was brought about by weed ing out lower producers, using bel ter sires to build up the herd, and giving tin' animals scientific feeding, housing, and care. A series of dairy meetings in the vicinity of each of Ihe associations is planned for the present year, reports E, 1!. Fills, federal und0. A. 0. Hold dairyman in charge.
