Show FARMERS AND OTHER INDUSTRIES IN-DUSTRIES IN SAME BOAT THE war has brought farming into prominence as one of the great industries in-dustries of the nation. It has brought to the farmer the same problems which for years have been confronting other lines of industry. Efficient help, to which formerly the farmer hardly gave a thought, is now almost impossible to secure. Wage questions ques-tions which used to-be of small conse-, conse-, quence are now a great item to the farmer and the day seems to be close at hand when hours of work and wage scale will be set for the farmer by labor organizations. Equipping his farm with modern machinery is another of the farmer's problems. The foregoing are a few of the main issues faced today by all lines of industry indus-try and the farmer equally with the manufacturer is interested in conservative conserva-tive politics which encourage the development devel-opment of the State and tend to hold down and reduce city, county and state taxation. , . n |
