Farmers Must Solve Their Own Problems 
(Continued 
knows about those problems. Why do 
farmers think they must run to legis¬ 
lators to find about the things about 
which they themselves are the best ex¬ 
perts? 
I have said, and I should like to re¬ 
peat here, that political government 
has definite limitations in the ordering 
of affairs and it can go beyond these 
limitations only at the peril of the 
people and their social and economic or¬ 
ganization. Political government, for 
example, is simply not competent to 
conduct industry, to work out the sal¬ 
vation of industry, or to teach industry 
in which paths to walk. There is a 
great gulf fixed between politics and 
industry. Industry must work out its 
own salva.ion, build up its own great 
governing forces, apply democratic 
principles to fit its own structure and 
meet the needs of humanity out of its 
own intelligence. There is no other 
force that has the qualifications to take 
this job away from industry, and as 
long as organization persists and grows 
within industry and the intelligence 
that is in industry devises methods of 
functioning - , no other force can ever 
grow up that will possess the qualifica¬ 
tions. 
Our social order has got to develop 
according to the character of those 
things that provide its^ life. In pastoral 
days and social order took its form 
from the pastoral life of the people. In 
our time it must do likewise, and in 
spite of all the efforts of dreamers to 
the contrary, it does do likewise. 
Is it not logical to apply the same 
thought to the rural life of the coun¬ 
try? Rural and urban life are largely 
interdependent upon the same major 
trends and developments. 
Individual farmers have fought many 
manifest evils. They continue to fight. 
They have developed some organized 
strength with which they can fight 
more effectively. In some cases farm¬ 
ers have found a way to decrease 
abuses, hut in every case where prog¬ 
ress has been made, organization has 
been the bedrock of their strength and 
their progress. I can prescribe nothing- 
short of more and more organization. 
Wherever there is organization there is 
a center — a clearing house—for the 
gathering and disseminating of infor¬ 
mation of economic experience, of the 
manifestations within your occupation. 
The records so accumulated will serve 
to disclose the wisdom or unwisdom of 
contemplated policies and undertakings. 
Something like scientific procedure then 
becomes possible. The recorded experi¬ 
ence of mankind is the only thing that 
enables us to avoid mistakes that were 
made a century ago. If it were not for 
recorded experience—experience re¬ 
corded in written records and in mem¬ 
ory for transmission from day to day 
and from generation to generation — 
we should have each day to learn again 
how to start fire with a whirling stick. 
Recorded experience in given occupa¬ 
tions is no less vital than in our social 
structure as a whole, no less important 
in guiding us aright from day to day 
than in guiding us from century to 
century. Organization is a means of 
bringing- to a central point for common 
use the experiences of all. 
Council Table the Goal 
There is no force in our social organ¬ 
ization that will not come to the coun¬ 
cil table with the farmers when the 
farmers find the way to bring their 
strength together at that table. And, 
let me point out, the council table is 
the goal. The battlefield is not the goal, 
much as some may like to make it ap¬ 
pear so. The council table means con¬ 
ference, negotiations and agreement. 
Agreement at the council table is native 
to our soil. It is fundamentally our 
way. It is the foundation and the 
touchstone of democracy. Every agree¬ 
ment between organized groups regis¬ 
ters progress and achievement—some¬ 
thing- positive. Reason finds its place 
at the council table where equals come 
together. We are but in the beginning 
of a great unfolding of democracy. We 
have but taken the first steps, great 
and wonderful and gratifying as they 
have been. Civilizations g"row slowly 
and we shall not end all evil in our 
time. If we can be conscious of progress 
we have reason to feel that all is not 
ill that is among us. But on this point 
put much emphasis: Progress is not 
from page 3) 
gained by fiat, nor is it ordered into 
being by virtue merely of law. More 
frequently law registers what is either 
accomplished or recognized. It follows 
more often than it leads. Put your faith 
in your own works and see that your 
works are thorough, diligent and based 
always upon the needs of your own 
occupation and guided by your own 
knowledge of that occupation. 
Are Farm People For 
Prohibition ? 
(Continued from page 5) 
out it, sane, well-to-do, peace abiding- 
citizens. 
Wohld the Volstead Act if carried 
out make matters worse? Is it right 
or wrong? Should we farmers, who 
are eighty per cent for, instead of 
seventy per cent against this act, let 
those who do oppose, try to make the 
general public believe that the farmers 
favor doing away with the Volstead 
Act and allow wide open legalized 
liquor traffic again. 
Prohibition must stay put, our chil¬ 
dren must not be menaced with this 
curse. Don’t let us let our habits run 
away with us. Come out for square, for 
the right, and wipe this slavery, which 
is blackest of all, from our beloved 
country. 
Let us make known where we stand 
without selfishness thinking of the good 
to all concerned and then aid in every 
way those who are trying to make our 
country a fit place for all to live in.—E. 
A. H., Broome Co., N. Y. 
Speaks for a Maryland Community 
O N the Editorial page of the June 
16th American Agriculturist, is a 
letter from a “supposed-to-be” farmer, 
on prohibition; also your request for 
“those who are for it—stand up and 
be counted.” A woman is given credit, 
justly or not, for having a “sixth 
sense.” To me, the “farmer’s” letter 
was at once stamped “falsfe,” “whis¬ 
key,” and “money talking.” 
As far as I can learn our community 
as a whole are in favor of prohibition 
with but one or two exceptions. You 
would receive many more than your re¬ 
quested ten thousand letters but for 
one thing, this is such a busy time, we 
hardly have time to bring the mail in 
from the mail-box, let alone read it. It 
just happened to be raining to-day so 
I took time to glance over the paper. 
This is Maryland and reported to be 
“wet’ but get the hearts of the people, 
especially the women, and you will find 
with few exceptions that even the 
“wet” places do not want re-peal but 
enforcement of the 18th Amendment. 
Hope you receive more letters than you 
can read. We enjoy the paper very 
much.—E. V. H., Wicomico Co., Md. 
18th Amendment Should be Amended 
I N response to your request for short 
letters in regard to the stand of 
larmers on the Prohibition Law, I am 
•moved to say I am in accord with your 
correspondent who thinks the so-called 
unanimity of farm sentiment for the 
present dry law is a myth. Though 
practically a total abstainer myself I 
regard the prohibition of such drinks u 
as beer, nothing short of a crime against ' 
many hundreds of thousands of law- 
abiding citizens. I believe that 75 per 
cent of the farmers of my acquaintance 
are against the present stringent law. 
It is a breeder of lawlessness and revo-J 
lution and should be supplanted by a 
much more liberal interpretation of the 
18th Amendment.—H. L. U., Dutchess 
Co., N. Y. 
“Never Heard a Parmer Speak for 
Prohibition” 
A RE farm people for prohibition? 
I should say No. I never heard a 
farmer speak for prohibition. Of my 
nearest twelve neighbors, there is only 
one who would vote for prohibition, and 
I am not sure that he would. He always 
takes a drink when I offer him one.— 
E. B. 
Is Education a Factor? 
BELIEVE that over ninety-five per 
cent of the farmers with a high-school, 
or more advanced education are for 
prohibition first, last and all the time. 
God Save the State. —I. M. J., Alle¬ 
gany Co., N. Y.
