We raise tot. much wheat, too much of all dairy products, too much fruit, too many vegetables, too much everything. We have "over production" and a great "surplus" must be marketed abroad, and the Inexorable rule of supply and demand fixes the low price of all agricultural products and puts the farmer In his present plight. Ho we should "deverslfy," the learned economists and editors tell ua. We should change about and raise more of what we do not raise, and loss of what we do raise. And the other fanners should do the »»me, And then our statesmen at Washington get busy on legislation that will permit us to borrow more money to change our ayatem—and run a little deeper Into debt. And In the face of thia gr at Ce- luge of "over-production" the U. 8. Department of Agriculture broadcasts the facts that we bought 13«,000,000 of dairy products from other coun tries In cne y«»ar— ,9.000.000 more than we exported; that we bought six and a half million dollara' worth of eggs abroad; that In 1923 we Import- •*d a million and a half dollars* worth of hay; over a million dollars nt po tatoes. $1,700,000 of tomatoes, almost standards of naarly all rountrl a far balow (hose of thia nation; with the market values of the currencies of lhes<- nations dropping each day. and with nearly all nations trying to sell to this country In order to get money with value In It, how can the Ameri can farmer hope to get production coat from his products In competi tion?
