Mr. Farm Income Farmers in the United States never have been able to collect fair pay for their work. When I say "fair pay" I mean as much reward for honest, effective effort as other men of similar ski!! get for what they do. The nearest thev ever came getting equitable return for what they did was back in 1917 when the average farm worker earned 84 per cent as much as the average industrial employee. Many famous ups and downs have occurred since 1919 but the earnings of farm workers experienced the roughest ride of all. In 1932 farm wages were only 23 per cent of industrial wages, on the average, and in 1942 farm pay averaged 60 per cent of industrial pay. In other words, farm workers are in a better relative position now than they were ten years ago but their pay still does not approximate factory pay and there is no justification for the difference. As this column has said before, farming is a skilled occupation and a hard one. A Ray of Hope It was a long stride in the right direction when the President of the United States began last March 30 to call leaders of the four principal farm organizations into conference. Many farmers think agricultural problems have been pretty badly muddled. They think farm experts should have been called much earlier to help set up a better farm program, and they hope now that a series of regular discussions has begun and will not end until the most serious tangles in the nation's food problem have been straightened out. Albert S. Goss, Grange; Edward A. O'Neal, Farm Bureau; James G. Patton, Farmers Union, and Ezra T. Benson, Cooperatives, all attend-- 1 ed the first conference and the second on April 7, expressing themselves freely to Mr. Roosevelt. Interested listeners included the food czars, Chester C. Davis and Claude R. Wickard. It is my impression that until then, men with practical farming knowledge had been consulted far too little in forming national farm policies. The First Fruits America's big food problem can not be set right in a few hours by any set of conferees, but these very first meetings accomplished much toward building moral courage. The farmers I know need a great many things, such as help, machinery and fertilizer, but the stuff they needed most, early in the year, was hope. Now, to say the least, they are more encouraged. Although the spokesmen for agriculture were not in complete agreement on methods their objectives were the same and they took a rational attitude toward the question of farm prices. One of them, Ezra Benson, emphasized that "parity" is no longer an issue; even price (as an end in itself) is not an issue. "The big objective," he said, "is to get food production, and jirice is only bespeak real patriotism. Seeks Practical Men The Office of War Information has estimated that 6 less food will be grown on American farms this year than last. I believe the actual decline will exceed but that cloud gets a silver lining from the fact that our President, in this extremity, called experienced farm experts into counsel, not classroom experts full of unproved theories. If the same principle is applied in other important fields it will increase confidence in many quarters. Half the people in America depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for income. And as a farmer living in a farming community, I understand why farm prices should hot now be increased enough to equal wages of factory workers. Today's farm-pric- e fixtures are undoubtedly faulty in their relation to food production, as well as to factory wages. Just the same, the nation's entire e price structure is based on today's farm prices. war-tim- An Unequal Burden Farmers bear the brunt wars and depressions, the same as of floods and tornadoes. In former times they have also taken the hardest rap in post-wa- r adjustments. This last mentioned calamity can and should be avoided. America's war plans are already made and it of would be a boomerang blow to agriculture to change them now. Higher farm prices would call immediately for higher wages to offset loftier living costs for industrial workers, and there would be no end. It is every American's duty now to make price ceilings hold, to guard against inflation and stand ready when peace comes to keep men working and farm markets booming. If ceilings fail to hold, the runaway price balloon will be out and gone, with the sky for a limit. Just as this war is more costly than the other World War, so a price-flignow would be wilder than that of 1919 and the inevitable crash worse than the one that ruined so many farmers in the 1920's. A prosperous farm market is essential to genuine prosperity in any agricultural country. In America's postwar crisis it will be vital. It e wiswould be an act of dom on the part of every patriotic citizen, worker and industrialist as well as farmer, to exercise his utmost influence to increase agricultural parity after the war. The members of our club met at the home of Delphia Bunderson Wednesday, June 2 at 6 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by the president, after which Klea Fae Garfield read the minutes of the last meeting. Zella Hill then led the group in some songs and cheers. Delphia Bunderson gave a lesson on the Grooming of Hair. Mrs. Mabel Romer told how to carry on a meeting. The girls then, started to sew on a dress for a small child. Refreshments were served . Roma Jean Hill, Reporter The Penrose leader, Harley Granger, took his club boys, Doyle Stanfill, Neil Miller, D. M. Grover, Lynne Shuman, Fred Petersen, Junior Okada and Don Berchtold to Salt Lake Tuesday, where they attended the auction of livestock at the Livestock show. They visited the Capitol building, the zoo and other points of interest in Salt Lake and went to a show. A good time was had by all. 4-- H Fred Petersen Reporter Any excuse you can give for ini?s will please Hitler, Iltro-If- f hiio and puppet Mussolini. For the week ending June 4, local health officers reported a total of 417 cases of communicable diseases, which is 100 cases fewer than were reported for the previous week. The health officers of 12 counties reported "no diseases" for the week. Summit, Sevier, and Uintah counties each reported one case of tularemia. Attending physicians report that the patients became infected while shearing sheep. Two of the patients have the "glandular type" of infection which is usually caused by the bite of a tick or other blood sucking insect. The infection may also be acquired by being pricked with an infected instrument. The "other patient is reported by the attending physician to have the pulmonary type of infection. The exact mechanism of acquiring this type of infection is unknown. The fatality rate from tularemia is quite low but recovery from the disease usually requires several weeks. A total of 14 cases of epidemic meningitis mas reported one of these was reported from Salt Lake City and the balance were reported by Army medical officers, Juab county reported one case of poliomyelitis; the patient is a girl, 10 years of age.
