I THE WAR, THE FARM AND THE FARMER By Herbert Quick Member Federal Farm Loan Board The farmer every where. loves peace. The American tanner espe cially lores peace. Since the aawn of history, the farmer has bees the man who suffered most from wax. All that he paeaee Ilea out of doors in plain sight and la spoil of war hU houae. Ma grain, his livestock. The Barnes that light the aklea la the rear of every Invading army are consuming the things that yesterday represented his life work, and the life labors ef Deal generations of farmer. Everywhere the fanner la a warrior when war la the only thing which will biake and keep him tree. He cannot rally to the color aa quickly aa eaa the dweller In the cities, because It take longer to send to the farm the call to arm. It take longer to call the farmers from the Held than the city dweller from the shop. Many do not hear the Brat blast of the trumpet. Other do not at Brat under stand Its meaning because they have not had the time to talk the matter ever with their acquaintance. Instead of reading half a doea extra a day, the farmer may read weekly paper only. He must have more time tn a F'iridaa emergency to. make up hi a riilnd. It la Impossible to sot the farmers nf the I'nlted Bute on fire by mean of any audden apark of rumor. Hut when they do Ignite, they burn with a sluw, hot fire whloh nothing can put tmt. They are aomotlmea the hut to linit up: but thny tay hot. In a long flirht they are alway found sturdily rarrylng the battle aero No-Man' Mid In the lant grim struggle. The American fnrmer will give all that he kiaa and all that he la to win this Teat war againat war. Thla war waa at firs hard to under atand. No armed foe bad Invaded the linlU'd Htatea. The night akin were hot reddened by burning rick and farm himao. No raiding parlloa robbed us of our rattle or horses. No (aher-ruttlora Insulted our women. It teemed to many of ue that we were nut at war the thing waa ao far off. We did not realise what a giant war luul bocome a monster with a thou mud arms that could reach aoroaa the sons and take from ua three-fourth of l-verylhlng we grew. Hut finally w Hint It waa ao. If the Imperial Herman government hud itmria and cnfo:ced an order that Ho American former should leavehlerable.

What was the order against which w rebelled when we went In to this war? Look at the condition of the American fanner In the latter part of 1S14 and the first half of lilt and see- When the war broke out. throng surprise and panic we partially gave up tor a while the use of the a highway. And the farmer of America faced ruin. I know an Iowa farmer who sold his 1(14 crop ef IS 004 bushel of wheat for seventy cents a bushel. Farmer la the luth Bold their ootton for half the et of p-o-duelng It All this time tho por tion of the world whoae port wen open were ready to pay almoat any price for our products. When finally we set oer ship In motion once more, prosperity returned to the farm. But It never returned for the fanner of those nation which remained cut off from ocean traffic. Take the case of Australia. There three crop have remained unsold on the farm. No ships could be i pa red tn make the lone vovsra to Australia. Bo In aplta of the effort of the Qo two years, has accepted a similar po emment to v the farmers from jit ion with the Salem Nursery com ruln, grain has rotted tn the open. ! puny and will leave for Salem abou' Millions ot tons nave Dean lost ror avek of a market. uah condition spell Irretrievable disaster. rTach condition would bar prevailed tn this country from the out break of the war until now If oar (government had not first resisted with every diplomatic weapon, and finally drawn the awoid. Why did we draw thr sword T To keep up the price of wheat and cot ton, and to protect trade only? It someone ahould order you to remain on yonr farm, and not to uae the pub. Ho highways, would your resistance he based only on the fear of loss la profit from failure to market your crop? Ity no mean! You would fight to the last gasp! Not to make I money, but to be free! When a man I enslaved, all be lose In money I hi wage. But the while man ha never been able to ao-1 oept slavery. He ha never yet been ucreaafully enslaved.
