What Will You Do? i
By a B. BAKES,
Senior Agricultural Economist United
States Department of Agriculture.
The present agricultural situation
has many causes, but among the
most important may be mentioned
excessive production, changes in
diet, and changes in exports and
population trend.
Increase in agricultural produc
tion has been more rapid since 1922
than in any previous period since
1900. The production of farm prod
ucts between 1917 and 1926 increas
ed nearly 14 per cent, while popu
lation increased only 8 per cent
LESS MEAT EATEN
Changes in diet affect the farm
situation considerably. It takes
about six pounds of corn to produce
a pound of dressed pork, about six
teen pounds of grain or equivalent
feed to produce a pound of dressed
beef; consequently, a shift from a
cereal toward a meat diet means a
notable increase in the consumption
of farm products. The reduction in
meat consumption means a reduc
tion in crop acreage needed and
may result in the increasing surplus
of foodstuffs. If it continues it will
aggravate the agricultural situa
tion. Exports of foodstuffs to Europe
have decreased in recent years.
Provided immigration does not
increase, if is believed that in 20 or
30 years the population will begin
to decline. The effect of a declin
ing population upon agriculture
would be most serious, unless con
ditions should be such as to facil
itate exports.
OVERPRODUCTION DABGEB
In the next decade, it is likely
tractors and autos will continue to
replace horses or mules. If this
process of replacement goes on,
there will be 15 to 20 million acres
more of crop land released to feed
milk and meat animals, instead of
being used to feed horses and mules.
In addition, better conditions
have brought about a great im
provement in the amount of meat
and milk produced per unit of feed
consumed.
These factors are capable of in
creasing agricultural production
more rapidly than the increase in
human population, but whether
they will do so no one can state
positively. There are many other
factors that may intervene.
All that can be said is that the
approach of agricultural production
and consumption on a price level
that will place the farmer on a par
with the average of other occupa
tions has been retarded for nearly
a decade.

PASO
Devoted followers of the fistic sport are going loco over the 28 year
old cowpuncher from Buenos Aires, Victorio Maria Campolo. Th
awed whispers that followed his smashing knockout of gallant Tom
Heeney have grown to delirious yells of approval. The suspicion that
the giant Argentinian is the Champion the fight world is seeking has
become a certainty to some excited fans.
the basis of the world's market, and
they seem likely to continue to sell
there. They have found it profit
able to do this in the past largely
because of the greater use of power
than in most other countries, and
greater production per farmer;
while in recent years they have ac
quired the further advantage of
more efficient livestock than most
foreign lands possess.
These two advantages can be fur
ther developed; and if, in addition,
the prices of things farmers buy
should go down, it would be quite
possible for the farmer to recover
economic equality with other occu
pations despite the prospect of a
stationary or possibly declining pop
ulation 20 or 30 years from now.
FARM POINTERS.
The practice of discing land for
fall grain is an undesirable one, be
lieves the Oregon Experiment sta
tion, unless the land has been spring
plowed and is in good physical con
dition in the fall, or unless the
ground is being prepared for such
crops as vetch and mixtures of
vetch and oats for hay. For the
production of fall wheat or barley
or even oats for grain, it is believed
best to plow.
