Ray Blake was in Portland Friday accompanied by Mrs. L. C- Dickson, Phyllis Dickson and Mk. and Mrs. A. Kock. While there Ray attended the Republican meet ing and was rewarded by appear ing in the public prints the next day. One who travels even briefly through the wheat section of the country must be impressed with the waste of contract ed acreage which is kept out of production through agree ments between the farmers and the government. Here is land that is supposed to be of average fertility laying abso lutely barren, covered with weeds or else producing a crop Mrs. Dorothy Morris is visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. of volunteer wheat that cannot be used, ‘ The waste of it is appalling Yet, the plan was made F, L. Shradley. from Spokane. 4 and put into operation because it seemed that there was nothing left to do but reduce production if the farmer was to survive. This paper supported the plan - hoping that reduction of crops would not only increase farm prices but would increase the percentage of the consúmete’ dollar that went to the fanner. The first of these aims has been accom- J plished though what is due entirely to the allotment plan is4 still unknown There is yet no improvement in the condi tions that govern the second aim; the farmer receives a mere third of the sum paid for his products on the retail markets. . The belief is growing that the allotment plan will event ually do as much or more harm to wheat growing sections than it will do good. Land is not being tilled, is allowed to become weedy or is sapped by stands of volunteer; only a few farmers are taking care of their contracted acres as if they were summerfallow. The fifteen percent of wheat that is not raised is well paid for by the government, but in many czses the farmer could produce wheat on it with al most no additional expense over what is needed to raise 85 percent of his total There is dissatisfaction with government regulation* which should have been clearer at the time contracts were signed in order to circumvent the disputes that aie sure to follow. . < ' ~ V The sight of hay that might have been wheat being burned and of land normally productive lying idle while thousands are without sufficient food doesn’t strengthen be. lief in present day economics. The theory that a people can have more by producing less has not been proven - Af ter all it is the distributors who need to increase their effici ency, instead of the producers'decreasing theirs. As dis tribution and processing receive two thirds of the retail val ue of farm products attention should be directed toward making that part of the economic set up less costly and more efficient Normally wheat products are among the cheapest foods and would be eaten more universally during a depressi« n. Instead, the price is raised so high the consumption drops and we have to reduce supply. The government has the au thority to enforce economical methods of distribution as well as reduced acreage It should use that power instead of being a party to the waste of food products, real and potential.
