Popular Fallacies About Farming Prof. Warren, an agricultural expert of Cop
nell University, has issued an exhaustive report coverinor farmine and farm conditions in this
country that explodes very neatly three fallacies
much behugged by the average man. it is not true, declares this authority, that the high cost of living can be dragged to earth by our adoption of European agricultural methods. It is misleading, he says, to suppose that because the yield per acre in Holland is greater than in America, that Holland has more wealth per head and cheaper living in cities. Holland produces more wealth per acre but less per laborer, and that is the crux of the matter. If we increased the number of farmers by reducing the size of our farms, each acre would produce more, but each farmer would produce less. That would mean less farm produce for the cities and not more, and higher prices rather than lower. The average man's notion that soil fertility is less than in the earlier days because of the wasteful methods used by the fathers is also attacked by Prof. Warren. From the reports of the United States census, he shows that crop
yields are increasing and have been steadily since 1866. Improved methods of cultivation, he hopes, will enable us to get more than ever from the soil, even though it has been tilled for centuries. It is also a notion of the aforementioned average city man that, while he grows poorer, the farmer grows richer. Not so, avers the professor. "Today the average farmer is just making interest on his capital invested and gets but farm laborer's wages in return for his time." The cure for the high cost of living, he writes is that there is no cure. There is no high cost of living. Prices of to.day are no higher than the average of the past seventy-three years. We
think they are higher because we compare them with food stuff prices during the years of depression in the nineties.
All his runs counter to popular opinion. In such connection, popular opinion usually is right
and the dissenting individual , usually is . wrong.
Everybody is wiser, than anybody. When every
body believes thai living expenses are high, they
probably are high, spite of statistics to the contrary. Nevertheless, Prof. Warren's report reminds us that , there are many sides to the high-cbst-of -living question and to be so reminded is always good "for us. v. '' """V " . 1 " . :'' A Charity Expert
If the new Federation of Charities gets un
der way as planned, and if its purposes and meth
ods as 'outlined in'4 the constitution recently
adopted are realized, Richmond can feel that it is at last in a fair way to solve its vexing charity
problem. '
It will be to the advantage of those in need of assistance because it will deal with them confidentially, shielding at every point their sensibilities. No longer will they need to feel that their misfortunes are the objects of gossip in curious circles'. It will be to the advantage to the general public because waste, duplication and pauperization will be eliminated. Every dollar will go where and when it is needed and not merely where some mendicant hand reaches for it. One of the best features of the new plan is that all organizations now doing charitable work can retain their identity and continue their efforts. These efforts will be under direction of
trained charity experts and thus be made far more effective. The king-bolt of the Federation will be its managing secretary. He will have executive
management, will have charge of investigation of cases, will make recommendations for relief, will have charge of confidential information, will make plans for prevention . of destitution, and should in time become the controlling force in the community's social work. For all this, something more than experience is needed. He should have a thorough training in some high class school of charity and be endowed with a forceful personality and good executive ability. A mere amateur in such a position would wreck the movement. For this reason, those who take a keen interest in it are eagerly expectant that the board of directors will take the utmost care to secure a thoroughly trained and competent expert.
